Directors Note: How dark do you need to go to defeat evil and how much of your soul will be lost? In this short film, I wanted to explore this existential question around the philosophy of GOOD vs EVIL...Can good truly defeat evil without becoming bad itself? In creating this, I didn't want it to only be a visual medium, I wanted sound to be just as important, a full apocalyptic environment. Cinematography Note: I knew I wanted this set in a moody environment with a lot of contrast. The space had white walls which meant light placement and composition were everything. The whole piece was shot on the @sonyalpha A7IV, and lensed with a 40mm and 65mm F2.8. Since the location isn't really important, I was able to maximize the tighter focal lengths to feel like we're present in the room right next to the character. Lighting: The goal was to attain soft lighting that is true to an indoor tungsten scene classic in films. Huge thanks to @zhiyun_tech & @rebeccazhu97 for providing me with the MOLUS 100B light, this thing is so powerful that I only used it at 1%…Yes! ONE PERCENT with a reflector pointing at an unbleached muslin for diffusion. I highly recommend this light for content creators and filmmakers or anyone for that matter. A full review of the lights will be up on my YouTube soon! https://lnkd.in/gqDGMX4e
