Shit I Shot

Final Result Introduction Earlier this year I shot a music video with director Joakim Gustafsson and musician Kris Lempiäinen. Kris plays all of the instrument in his song so we wanted to make the concept of the music video based on that. The concept we came up with was quite simple but I am also very happy with the result, and our method for doing it was a little different than what you would assume looking at the video. [Read More]

Final Result My face when I realised there was only one camera setup Scene from the finished film Introduction This blog will be a little less on the cinematography-side than my other posts, but it is still relevant for anybody interested in cinematography.

First test I’ve been working on a short film together with a group of actors who are producing it independently, out of their own pockets. This means that the budget for the film was in the lower (or non-existent) micro budget range. We had a scene taking place in a car that cross-cut with another scene at a hospital. I wanted to get the scene inside the car to be something more dynamic than just sitting in the passenger seat and shooting the driver, but since there was no real budget to speak of, getting a grip or any sort of “real” car rig was out of the question.

The Video Before we get into the details, I figure you might be interested in seing the results. Take a look and continue reading below when you’re finished! Introduction I’ve always appreciated reading about how things are actually done behind the scenes, so it seems just right that I would share my own experiences and thoughts when going about a project. I will do a breakdown of four scenes from the music video and give you my thoughts on how and why we chose to light this way. [Read More]
