Conversations Duo performing the beautiful jazz standard, Beautiful Love from Victor Young.Conversations Duo: Francisco Abreu & Maksym Itani. https://youtube.com/ I did this video to mainly capture our duo within a more cinematic visual aesthetic. As well test the effect of proximity (or in this case farther away from the subject) when using negative fill in a low light environment and how to achieve the desired contrast ratio I wanted on our faces. This time I was going for a lower contrast ratio but still with a very moody and dark tone.Just tried to balance what was in frame to create an acceptable image so that I could focus and test if I could get what I was going for regarding the contrast ratio using the negative fill on camera left.Shot on Red Komodo X. For these shots I used the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L USM lens with the Canon EF-EOS R 0.71x adapter. I love the look of this lens for this type of visual intention. I also used some filtration in front of the lens, two NiSi Cinema 4×5.65 Nano IR Neutral Density, 0.3 (1 Stop) + 0.9 Filter (3 Stops) and a Nisi Allure Mist Black filter 1/8.Lights used: Aputure LS 600d Pro, Nova P600C with grid, B7C (on the lamp), Amaran T4c.Edited and color graded in DaVinci Resolve.Francisco Abreu, playing Sadowsky SS-15, guitar direct into Two Rock Classic amp head through its 1x12 open cab, captured with a Shure KSM313/NE ribbon mic.Maksym Itani, playing Sadowsky Jim Hall, guitar direct into Trace Eliot TA100R combo amp captured with a Shure SM57 mic.Recording path: Shure KSM313/NE ribbon mic and Shure SM57 to API A2D mic pre, together with DPA IMK4061 as a room mic to Mackie Pro12v3+ mixer for summing and mixing the 3 microphones. Reverb from Lexicon LXP15II wet/dry and Dly from the Mackie onboard effects engine both mixed in through the mixer, direct to Red Komodo X as external audio source for recording. No post recording mixing was done, just final audio mastering was done within Fairligh inside DaVinci Resolve.
