The Pagan in His Youth (13 images)

I've put a Quicktime of the entire short up, we'll see how long this lasts before my bandwidth is gone. The music is Bap Kennedy, “Drunk on the Blood of Christ”.

I had to return Drew's Redrock Micro M2 35mm adapter on Sunday, so on Saturday I called my nephew and we went out and shot for an afternoon, no script, just for kicks. The only lens I had was a 135mm, the only support for the DVX100 was a beanbag. Everything was shot at f.35.

There are some interesting distortions and flares associated with this kind of rough-and-tumble use of the 35mm adapter, weird chromatic rainbows, odd barrel distortions, edge focus effects, and some vignetting in the underscan area when the adapter slipped on its support rods and I didn't catch it. It was fun to pick these out and use them in the edit.
