Behind-the-scenes

We shot this film on the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro paired with the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8. This was either done handheld or on sticks. For lighting, we had a very minimal package - an ARRI T1, a Godox ML60, and a couple of Wix smart LED bulbs in a Chinaball and DIY skirts (basically black fabrics on garden steel wire) - this is as guerrilla as it gets!

Luckily, we shot this in the winter and all the days were heavily overcast, together with the dual-base ISOs the camera had, the 2 lamps we had were actually enough and we placed them outside of the balcony and pushed them through the window.
