Cinematography 03

Working as Alex's cinematographer I had to think of a way to make his idea visually possible, he wanted a dance piece to be in extreme slow motion, one take, continuous tracking in. Lighting it; he wanted the character to be seen as a silhouette at the beginning and then gradually seeing the details.

For the this project we will be using the Sony F55, as it will give us a really high frame rate we can work with. Before we hired out the camera, I wanted to replicate the whole look in 3D, this way I get to try out the lighting and the framerate in post before doing it in real.

Jacob and I worked out the amount of frames needed to play the footage slow enough for the sequence to last three minutes but not so slow it becomes too disorienting, What was great about this whole thing is because we locked down at shooting at 120fps, the quality can go all the way to 4k raw (SLog-2) resolution.
