Chanel & Leica

If it is just a promo shot why are Leica & M8 logos hidden? Any idea?

It must be my age. I looked at the camera first.

 

What camera?

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Who cares if it's true or factual... it's just beautifull:

Chanel N°5

I knew there was a reason why I wear that Perfume.

 

I agree with Paga, why worry that the film covers everything from the 20's onwards. It's a beautifully made and very romantic film. I wish that I could live in that world.

Could it be perhaps due to that it's from a Chanel advertisement, not a Leica one?

i would be really pleased if this showed up in some advert in a big magazine. i could show it to my mother and she wouldn't get quite as angry at me that i spend money on lenses instead of clothes

I think it's her own camera, and this is a shot taken on the set of the commercial - not an actual still to be used in the commercial. As for the masking - I don't think you have to look far to find an answer to that one... there are plenty of people on the forum who tape over the logos on their camera. Apparently it discourages thieves...

Hi David,

 

Did you watch the advertisement? Near to the end she uses the M8 to take a photograph from the boat, and then reviews the image on the LCD. (Watch the 2'20 version.)

In that case, I imagine the Leica logos are hidden because Leica didn't pay the placement fee.

 

No TV worth watching where I am. Is it online? I tried following your Chanel No5 link but just got a static page.

Hi David,

 

If you click on Paga's link above it will take you to the advertisement. It does take a little while to load. But after the first section, you will have the choice of two versions to watch. Good luck.

You should see a doctor about that.

 

As much as I adore the devine Audrey, I hope the film is better than the last two clunkers of hers I've seen - "The Long Engagement" and "The Da Vinci Code".

 

Quite simple, 80 % of french cinema is pure garbage (half mimicking the worst of

american movies, not the great ones, half recounting poor totally boring bourgeois stories).

Luc Besson and their ilk being the topmost fraud.

Meanwhile real imaginative movie makers like my friend Charles Najman,

who got one of the most prestigious prizes for one of his films, are

struggling.

And dozens of my colleagues writers or screenplaywriters would agree.

Coco is a big ordinary piece of docudrama, without an ounce of imagination.

Tell me about L'Avventura or the the Pan's Labyrinth.

Pan's Labyrinth | Official Movie Site | Picturehouse

These are movies we can speak of, years on.

Besides, one never could say how ads movies are eating up the aesthetics

of one too many movie maker with false statements.

I know a little about this, I worked with one of them…

does anybody recognise which lens?

Most probably a 75 Summicron.

That's still a better hit rate than US cinema <grin>.

Well, for real invention, now, you'll have to looks towards China or Mexico.

[carstenw]

Most probably a 75 Summicron.

 

The way it flares I thought an Apo-90, but in any case, one of those two.

[Nicoleica]

I couldn't quite make out the lens details, but it was at 1/360s and ISO 160, frame number 32/40 if that helps.

oops! typo!

thanks, guys. my boyfriend thought it was the Nocti and i was reckoning the 75 Lux -- though i didn't really think she would use either in that situation.

 

regardless, i'm glad he's starting to get geeky and feel some pride over my lenses since he still doesn't quite get the whole RF mystique.

90 APO seems a nice guess, but really DO WE CARE?! It's a commercial to sell glamour for Christ sake, it's not the next Palme d'Or in Canne 2010 and it's well made (Jean Pierre Jeunet style but not too much, not too heavy), it is good enough to make you feel good and dreamy: I like dreaming a bit (OK I also like Audrey Tautou a lot), nothing less nothing more folks

Hallo,

Look here: Leica M

We're not just looking pixels but off the world emotion: Chanel, Leica and last but not least a woman. Can talk for years on these subjects.

Cheers,
