a long take to rival Haneke

having worked with the bolex cameras previously in shannons doc class, i was extremely excited to get my hands on one once again. the whirring of the film and the sheer mechanical beauty of such an old device always seems to restore my passion for capturing the moving image. I remember being very confused by our initial idea for our long take. I was curious as to how it turned out. Luckily, it turned out wonderfully (due in part to some nice editing by palmer and cory) and I was proud of what we had created, that being a fun, quirky long take created via the beautiful bolex. On the day of the shoot, i acted as DP for the shot. One thing that was tough though, besides running backwards and keeping our extremely specific shot in frame, was the tightness of the lens on our bolex. Things were far more magnified once you peeked into the lens and this had to be taken into account when we were laying out our framework. All in all, the final result was something we were proud of.
