This was a video produced by 309 Productions in Boston that I was hired exclusively as the DP. It was essential to stay on brand with Follain while in production. I went to Follain’s social media for inspiration with the content. I’m happy to say it ended up being very much in line with the content they produce. Soft, even lighting to create very airy, relaxed environments.
Technique/ Cinematography
Shot in 4k60 on the BMPCC6K with the always incredible Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 lens. I usually opt for parabolic lights by Aputure but for this shoot I used Astra LitePanels which were perfect for the airy, even look we were going for. A Ronin M was used for most of the day to add some dynamic movement and worked especially well for the running shot. Fun story about that running scene - it was under 20° in Boston that day, with icy streets, snow on the ground and I had to run backwards downhill. Terrifying, but worth it for a successful shot.
