Hip-hop and Skateboards with Lomo Squarefronts

[Russell Anway]

This is sort of a demo video/just for kicks piece with some footage I've shot this year.  I think I'll be out shooting a few more times in the next month to add to it and I'll update it here.

 

I shot it with a lomo 35mm and 80mm squarefronts.  It's a mix of gh1 and A7s (lets see if you can notice the difference ;)

 

I do a fair amount of hip-hop stuff and just wanted to put something together that had a different style and flavor than your typical 60 second promo.  And shooting on anamorphics definitely affects the way you can work on these sorts of things.  At the b-boy show I did 3/4 of the day with a canon and zooms and then the last couple hours with the ana's and the footage is very different in style and feel.  So I thought I'd try to mirror that with the edit.

 

 

 

(For comparison's sake, here is the (very well done) promo video I was hired to shoot for.  The above video is made from a lot of the extra's from the same shoot (there were about six shooters on the day)
