Who directed the video? Fritz Lang? :rolleyes:

 

Nope. Fritz Lang didn't suffer from 'monkey cam'. This looks like it was shot in a paint mixer. A major part of Lang's visual style was that his movies were shot mostly locked off and he only moved the camera, when it served a purpose.

 

But you're right. I had the same WTF? reaction the first time I saw it.

Yes, the camera was much more static in his time. And the moving camera in the short film on the S2 website does not add much to the content, if anything at all.

 

I was also referring to the Film Noir style of lighting; too dark and too dramatic for a short corporate film.

At a guess I'd say it was shot 'in-house' by Leica Marketing in the style of Fred Quimby. How the hell did it get passed by Quality Control? Oh wait; I think I have already answered that.

What they haven't told us of course is that this was shot using the new video capture feature of the forthcoming and much anticipated Leica R10. Known internally as the Leica Unsteady Cam, the gyroscopic image stabilisation feature is proving a bit of a handful to debug...
