  The Souvenir 2019

  Watched 25 Sep 2024

  🎥 - Arri 416, Arri Alexa Mini, Bolex
  🔎 - Zeiss (Super Speed?)

  In favour of candid framing, practical lighting and minimal intervention in shaping the image. 
  Great editing and soft muted palette.

  ★★★★ Watched 18 May 2024

  🎥 - Arricam LT + ST + 435 + 235
  🔍 - Zeiss Super Speed

  - Pleasantly surprised to find out this was shot on film and on Super Speeds!
  - Subtle and frequent use of speed ramping throughout the film
  - Loved the punched in, 240fps slow mo tights. Gotta give this a shot.
