The Peruvian Weavers | A Canon C70 Observational Film
For a commercial job earlier in the year, I was able to go to Peru to film with the people of Chincheros, a beautiful area outside of Cusco, Peru. We spent a day filming with them as they worked and cooked. Enjoy!

    I am getting the Tilta shoulder rig today. I use a comfortable foam standard camera strap. I poke one arm through so it's not on the back of my neck. All my cameras have a strap with easy to remove clips. I use rigged up C70's as well. Not a big fan of the EasyRig types. I have one but if you need to move/walk it's rough. Waiting on my C400 to come in September to use with my 24-105 2.8. Nice weight combo. Good work here.

    • @CurrenSheldon
      @CurrenSheldon 3 дня назад

      Yea the C70 really is not enough weight to use with an Easyrig - swings too much. Can't wait for the C400 + 24-105mm f2.8 combo. Might be the ultimate documentary DP setup.

    For all day shoots, I use my FX3/FX6 with a gimbal which is mounted directly to a mechanical support vest, namely the Thanos SE. I can shoot nonstop for hours with that system without much fatigue, if I really need to. You can shoot from eye level to knee level, it’s a pretty good range for most situations. With just a gimbal, it’s nearly impossible to shoot continuously for more than 10/15 minutes without destroying your arms and back. You have to put down your camera every few minutes to recover.

    • @CurrenSheldon
      @CurrenSheldon 14 дней назад

      Totally. I wanted to focus specifically on handheld, doc verité techniques, but if you're going to be running a gimbal, you almost have to have something like a vest and arm. Thanks for watching!

But it didn't distract from the story. And what was your idea behind certain scenes. Cause I loved the non-linear editing in them to convey a feeling. Questions like did you just scout for nice locations and prompt the girls to do certain things. I've done that in two of my docs. After a while I find myself trying to make a narrative from someone's real story with them playing themselves, similar to The Rider. Thanks for reading. Have an awesome day.

But the vest/monopod setup would be good to go into more detail and see if I can find some similar alternatives.

      It's a pretty new lens (released in 2018/19, I believe), so I don't think there are any thoughts on lens variation in the way older, vintage lenses have. I have seen it on sale for around $600-700 fairly often, so I would wait until you see that. Currently on sale, I believe. I have also seen some like-new used versions on MPB for $400-500 - I don't think it has been hugely popular, so you can find some good prices if you just check every now and again.

    Yeah but my last Helios cost me 20 bucks - and that had a camera attached 🤷‍♂️

      The Helios is great, but the Voigtlander is a very different look.
