final frontier

I haven't seen this online yet, so I thought I'd post it because I'm pretty proud of it. This is called the Final Frontier. I was the sole cinematographer and camera man on the project. I used my hd100 and lens adapter with 35mm prime lenses to give it a "static" stabile or at least to add weight and give a heavy feeling to the angles. I actually was still seventeen when we shot this and just turned eighteen about 2 weeks after we finished. Originally Dan contacted me for a greenscreen project, but I found the water treatment plant location and wanted to try to use good camera work mainly and show that you could use cgi as an accessory but not beat the audience over the face with it. This was written and directed by Daniel Miller Schroeder for his senior project at UCSC. He really did a great job pulling all the resources together in such a short time, (we only had like a week to shoot and finish it for his school) Special thanks to Cole for the awesome insta-cgi, it really added something.

no? okay well the point is you get better images from thinking about shit, and you really need to think about a 400 pound stabile rig especially when you need to go through at least 2 pages a day...

with limits you can use a zoom lens, and I dont go straight to the ccd, I've found better results with the wider surface area of the main lens. but moving the zoom will throw the focus, yes.

but GOOD, stop being chumps with light camera's zooming back and forth, fricken add generation (hypocritically sarcastic) get the point though?

as the jvc has interchangeable lenses, and the adapter can go straight to the ccds, can u use a zoom lens with the adapter, and is it not possible to use the trick of zoom in, focusing and zooming out and everytihng will be in focus?
