48 hours before shoot Producer (Jay Toezan) presented the cinematographer on the job with a problem they had. They, he and the director (Eif Rivera) needed to pull together the infrastructure to shoot out french Montana, Kanye West and NAS at a Mojave airplane bone yard with dirt bikes jumping 5+ story’s off of ramps and over there heads. and… 48 hours later they were doing it. They brought out the BIG guns with two Ari Alexa mini’s the ultimate arm camera car (angenieux 12-1 equipped) and a decision he made last minute, renting two sets of GL Optics rehoused Lieca R’s from Rent Cinema Glass. @ the time. They were looking for a vintage, stylish creamy look but still needed that tack sharp front end. “They reached for this set of Leica R’s and never looked back” Feel Free to ask any questions you may have below.
