Busy Week

andrae — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 14:59:21 +0000

Was staying in Brandywine, Maryland and commuting to Fairfax, Virginia from Monday 07/12 to Friday 07/16 while working on corporate videos for a realtor company. Flew back in to Fort Lauderdale at midnight on Friday and was up bright and early for the Flavor Seal infomercial shoot in West Palm Beach. Was pretty tired with barely any sleep that night but it was so good to be working with Sara Shake from Exposed PR, Joshua Miller, Joseph Miller & Josiah Sampson from C&I Studios. Had a chance to meet Joshua’s parents while working the realtor shoot and also visited Camp Sonshine which Joshua’s family has been a part of for years. Was pretty impressed with how huge the church and daycare center was. Here are a few pics from all the shoots:

RED Pro Prime cine lenses have landed

andrae — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 13:59:34 +0000

Focal Length: 25mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 100mm
T-Stop Range: T1.8-T22
Mount: Arri PL

“Our lenses are designed very specifically for the type and placement of our OLPF and microlens array. All these other programs could have benefitted from the information, but everyone was apparently working in secret. The net result will be that we will likely have a decided advantage in optical performance when matched to a Mysterium family sensor… just because we had info that no one else asked for.”

RED Pro Primes and RED 18-85mm arriving this summer

andrae — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 23:06:55 +0000

We are still awaiting our order of the RED Pro Primes kit and the RED 18-85mm zoom lens. It’s been over 2 years now since placing an order for the RED Pro Primes. Needless to say delivery has been taking quite a while. Well the RED lenses will be arriving at a great time, now that we have a second RED camera body to act as a backup body or for second AD crew. We were told by RED that the lenses should be available this month and will keep you guys posted when the lenses arrive. The RED Pro Prime kit Includes 25mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 100mm. The quality of these lenses are absolutely stunning and the talk is that technically they rival the Zeiss Master Primes which are way more expensive. As soon as we get our hands on these babies we’ll post some samples. Nighttime filming with these should be a blast.

BTW… we are looking for local indies to colloborate with on projects. So send me an email at andrae@facetmedia.com if you have a cool project in mind. If we dig the idea we’ll see what we can do together.

Our second RED camera # 6353 (Nikita) has arrived
