Short film created on the M240


Recommended Posts

Are you not aware that the Video feature on the M240 is too primitively implemented to get decent results? :rolleyes:  Well, I guess you didn't get the message :ph34r: . Thanks for posting, I enjoyed it.

Nice job.  Did you shoot the opening -- man playing some sort of Chinese cello in the subway -- with the M240?  The color in that shot was richer than the rest of the "subway B-roll."  The lighting looked natural, sometimes uncomfortably so.  Did you light, or at least have some of the listed helpers hold a reflector?

I didn't shoot any of the subway stuff.  The guy who wrote the film shot it.  As for the stuff I did film -everything with the actors, we didn't use any sort of reflectors.  I used a tripod for some shots and i was handheld for others.  I think the biggest problem faced by the director/editor faced was the sound recording.  It's very difficult to mic the actors to get good sound.  We used 2 separate Zoom H4n style recorders, but the audio still wasn't good.

Very nice! This is the perfect example of what film on the M can be used for. Story telling. Not every story or production needs hollywood feature film production levels. Some times it actually suits the story. Watch David Lynch's Inland Empire, one of the best films of the last decade and see a perfect example of this.

 

Leica ruined the M by taking off the basic necessary tools of today: motion and usb.

 

It's verging on criminal. Leica needs to wake up. I won't be buying anything more Leica until they put back what I need. How frustrating!
