This is not a short. It is not even a test short — it’s a behind-the-scenes of a test short.
My co-everything on The West Side (thewestside.tv), Zack Lieberman, was shooting a test short in 3D on a little prosumer Sony camcorder. I had just purchased some BNCR-mount Canon K35 prime lenses (used — they’re 35 years old) and so Zack’s test shoot was a perfect chance to get some face time not only with the SCARLET, but also the new (to me) lenses. Essentially, we reversed the usual production/behind-the-scenes lineup, so the actual test short (which will have some day-for-night and 3D After Effects work) was shot on an inexpensive prosumer camera and the behind-the-scenes was shot on a higher-end RED camera. And it’s not really even a behind-the-scenes — just me grabbing shots throughout the day at various frame rates and focal lengths.
Featuring Zuzanna Buchwald, Kalen Norton, Bryan Tuckman, Emily Mode, and Rahil Patel.

RED SCARLET Torture Test: High Speed Handheld Shooting in Subzero Temperatures with 35 Year-Old Lenses

To put the RED SCARLET camera through its paces, we wanted to use it in a real-world setting instead of shooting charts in a studio — but we also didn’t have the time or budget to put together a “real” short. What we set out to make (and what we ended up with) is something more than a series of test shots, and something less than a proper short. This was a no-budget, quick production on which everyone donated their time. Let me know what you think!

Oh, and we snuck one Canon 5D Mark II shot in there. Can you spot it?

Independent filmmaking has changed a lot in the decade since I started my career. It sounds silly now, but back when I started, there was this collective belief that [...]

'Incident on Marmont Ave,' One of the First Canon 5D Mark III Shorts
When a much anticipated camera such as the Canon 5D Mark III makes its way to market it’s inevitable that filmmakers will rush to be the first to shoot a fully formed story on it. While not officially the first, Barry Andersson’s ‘based on true events’ short Incident on Marmont Ave is certainly among the [...]

5D Mark III/D800 Hands-On Part 5: Mark II vs. Mark III vs. D800 - Candlelight Revisited
The candlelight test that got an enormous amount feedback has returned. After a bit of a delay between this one and the last one (thanks in part to the craziness that is NAB), I thought it would make sense to really level the playing field between the two cameras since the exposure for the D800 [...]
