Stills from recent Music Video I DP'd. Shot on Red Scarlet-W Dragon with Cooke Speed Panchros

This was a low-budget music I DP'd recently in LA. We shot it in a warehouse studio with a boxing ring. It's supposed to have a '50s boxing vibe. It was originally shot with color in mind, but in post we felt the B&W made it feel more authentic to the period and mood we were going for.

I used mainly Arri tungstens, a couple Source4's, and Aputure 300d & Nova. The only way we were going to get through our day was if lighting didn't take up much time, so I spent about 2 hours in the morning lighting the whole set, and then we kinda just blew through it the rest of the day with small tweaks when needed. If I had more time, there's definitely some changes I would have made in between setups, but it is what it is.

Most of this was shot on steadicam, with my Red Scarlet-W Dragon 5K and a nice set of Cooke Speed Panchros. The snorricam shots of Austin (smaller boxer) were shot on my A7SII because we couldn't splurge on a snorricam pro or other beefier variant.

The color footage was interspersed throughout and at the end, and was sort of the "dream world" when he was unconscious. That's also why it's a different aspect ratio. This footage was shot at a later date on a beach in Malibu.

Feedback welcome! :)
