Adam Kimmel DP | Call 929-323-4441


Adam Kimmel DP | Call 929-323-4441 Using this combination of cameras and lenses was not an easy task. Five Alexa LF's and two sets of Signature Primes were sourced from ABLE Cameras in New York. "These Signature primes were still entirely new and hard to get, so we had to plan how to work with five cameras and only two sets of lenses for a live show. "I was very considerate of my placement of cameras and choice of focal lengths as I didn't want to be changing prime lenses in the middle of the show. Also, since we were shooting 360° and I didn't want to see other cameras, it made sense to keep the profiles more compact and the cameras more fixed. Director Bobby Moresco was pleased with the look, and the coverage I was able to give him and everyone involved seems to love how the show turned out." Using the larger format cameras and lenses also facilitated certain aspects of post production, "I asked DIT Dave Satin to adjust the frame lines so I would have a frame within the sensor that allowed me some room over and under the picture, and that way I could make slight adjustments to the framing to smooth out the cuts in the edit. When you have five cameras all shooting one person, I'm quite sensitive to things like the differences in the head room or where the eyes are in the frame. By having a little room to adjust - I could smooth out anything I felt was jarring". www.streetinsider.com/Press+Advantage/Director+Of+Photogr... https://flic.kr/p/2izHPz6
