What type of camera and lenses were used? this is great work.

[killingjokefilms]

@myerslamski Much obliged. We used prime lenses for the Red. We also utilized We used a couple specialized lenses for brief shots but basically we stuck to primes. Thanks for the comment and check out Brian Walstad at Triple 20 Entertainment to check out more of his cinematography.

@myerslamski Thanks for the compliment. I was the DP on the shoot. We shot on the pre MX RED ONE. Actually Killing Joke was wrong about the lenses used. We were on a tight budget and used only 2 lenses, the older RED 18-50mm PL zoom and a 60mm PL tilt shift (forgot the brand). We went to 2K and 3K for some of the longer shots.

@GMatthews537 Thanks for the compliment. I was the Cinematographer on the shoot. Like Killing Joke said Nick Foster was my Gaffer and he is great at what he does.
