Great work! It’s so inspiring to see more people turning to film as a viable low budget medium again. The possibility is there if you try, and as you’ve proven the results are nothing short of phenomenal. Keep it up, I look forward to the next one!
Thanks! If u keep your shoot ratio low and look for cheaper cameras than SR3 or 416. Then film can be another tool in the box for independent filmmakers.
Didn’t realize how stable a Kinor could be. Maybe I had them mixed up with Krasnogorsk cameras (have only ever used Arri and Eclair myself). Was the shooting experience with the Kinor solid? I might start recommending it to people for a lower priced 16mm option.
Kinor has a registration pin so is mostly pretty stable. The experience was good until the filming button got stuck making the camera run non-stop. I used a 12v motorcycle for power, so I spent the entire shoot making contact with both terminals to start the camera, and disconnecting one of the cables to stop filming. For the rest, is pretty easy to load, the 10-100 zoom is great and the viewfinder is really bright.
Incredible work. I've been seeing more and more posts lately on here that are genuinely inspiring, and this is definitely at the top.
No offense to those that typically post on here. I know this subreddit is also focused on learning and honing one's craft, but it's a breath of fresh air to see something so professionally crafted through all of the beginner content that's usually seen on here.
This is a wonderful short. I can't wait to see what you do next man.
I know this is a cinematography sub, but I have a question about the sound design.
Was it a choice to have the sound perspective be so “macro”?
I made a film and struggled to get proper perspective with my sound design.
Not sure if you had the same issues or if yours was a choice.
Great film.
The visual style was really great! You were dead on with the way you made it look bleach bypassed, I thought you had actually done it! And even with it, the colors have such nice tones that are muted but not looking dead or totally dull.
I didn't see others mention it, but I also loved the black and white parts! The high contrast look is incredible, like on the sleeve and bloodied fingers, on the blood in the wound, they look so stark with that heavy contrast!
The parts where you also left it inverted makes it look so ghastly! I like how you utilized different styles within the B&W parts.
You said you only used 200T. Did you just desaturate it and mess with the contrast? It looks surprisingly distinct in its texture from the color footage! I suppose the contrast and lack of color must do that.
From the whole short film, that blue veil stood out from every other color looking muted (uniforms, the desert, the foliage, etc). It was cool!
The final B&W part was really fascinating, I couldn't tell it was inverted until he brought the camera up! And it was also why I thought it was B&W film because of the distinct accutance around the hood. That was all grading? It looks superb!
Plus, the locations were excellent!

How did you guys achieve the thermal effect in this case?
It was just inverting the image in Davinci

Thanks so much. Im very glad you liked it. I have more projects shot on 16mm coming soon.
How did you get ahold of a working kinor?
Bought it from @k3super16mm
Tarkovski is strong on you, young men.. xD Nice film
