So as this is the 300th post on this website in its current format (hosted it like this for the past 2 years) I’ve decided to do something a bit special!

Firstly, the comedy/musical I shot about a year ago called Spex and the City is now available online at the film’s page!

I’m glad how it turned out, and now that the DVD sales are no longer the only way to get the film, it’s fun to be able to present it online for everyone to watch for free! Of course, the film will still be available in its DVD format (which can be ordered from www.petrispexet.com) featuring LOADS of special features. The film is in Swedish without subtitles mind you – but it could be a fun watch, especially as it’s a bit different than other films I’ve done. So head on over to the film’s page to watch it in mindblowingly good Vimeo HD quality!

But that’s not all, far from it.

I’ve remastered and re-encoded most of my films on the website, and uploaded a streaming Vimeo HD version to their respective pages. Among these are Showoff and 16 – now available for the first time in true high definition due to both some hefty upscaling work using Apple Shake 4.1 in Showoff‘s case, and a brand new 1080p encode when it comes to 16. All the other films below have been remastered using their original 1080p versions – it’s taken a few weeks to get it all together, but it’s fun to finally be able to present most of my films the way they were meant to be seen! The full list of re-encoded HD films are:

Showoff
Cell
16
Zombie Exterminator
Energy (Commercial)
Campsite

EDIT: The new Vimeo HD version of Campsite is now up and running on the film’s page!

But head on over and watch some of the older films I’ve made right now in glourious HD, along with Spex and the City, which is for the first time available to view on the internet for free!

Speak to you more soon, and here’s for another 300 posts! Take care.

The third in the Redrock M2 Adapter test series – trying to film a lot of different things, so I’ve got knowledge concerning how best to prepare for a specific scene, when I eventually move on to make a film using 35mm lenses. I tagged along with Fredrik and Amanda during a photoshoot on the top of the World Trade Center in Malmö yesterday and shot a bunch of footage – edited it in about an hour and added some music – the final result can be viewed right here:

Still gearing up towards my next proper film which I am still working on the script for – thought it’d be good to have some more experience with the Redrock adapter and get used to manual focusing, especially in improvised situations.

Until next time, take care! Going to a meeting to talk about a new film job tomorrow evening which should be fun Speak soon!

EDIT: Currently seems to be some interlacing issues with the new HD version I just uploaded – I’m on it, currently fixing it.

EDIT 2: Problem solved, which means the film above is now available in Vimeo HD!

Shot another test using the Redrock adapter yesterday outside with a bunch of friends! Worked on it a bit today with grading and adding a 2.35 aspect ratio and other neat and neccesary stuff. Oh, and stay after the end for an outtake of the acting genius Mattias who goes just a tad overboard.

Shot on a Sony HDR-FX1 with a Redrock M2 Cinema adapter, using a Sigma 28mm/1.8 lens (Nikon mount) as well as a 35mm/1.4 and 50mm/1.8 lens from Nikkor. Also, the quite great music is by none other than Redhawk Productions local film composer Nils Bülow! I decided to add some music to it and just name it a follow-up to the Summer Spirit film I did a couple of years ago, which was also mainly shot as an equipment test. Can’t wait to make a proper film using the above equipment!

I don’t think I’ll upload this into the “Movies” section of the website, as it’s mainly a test. Perhaps I should differentiate movies and tests on the website and create a new category? Decisions, decisions…

Until next time, take care everyone!

Hey everyone! Just uploaded a whole bunch of new banner images to the website, featuring more images from both earlier films I’ve made to the latest ones, including Campsite, Spex and the City and the Energy commercial. In total, instead of there being a mere 5 different banner images, there are now 33! So it’s a pretty cool upgrade, and will hopefully make the website a bit more colourful and fun to visit

Until next time, take care!

Hey everyone – been trying out a Redrock M2 Encore adapter today with a bunch of friends who just bought it. The M2 allows you to use 35mm lenses (same lenses used on still photography) for shooting film. It was a pretty cool experience, and even though I didn’t have much time to try it out today, I will try to give it another whirl soon and shoot some footage outside. Even without a lot of grading, except for some minor contrast changes, the production value and film-look the adapter grants is quite impressive – check out the embedded test right here:

Sorry about the slight shaky-cam tendency – didn’t really have time to set up proper lightning or even use a tripod on some shots – but it became pretty cool, and is a technique I’m hoping to use on my new short film, which is still in the script-writing process (more specifically, rewrites right now). Speak to you more soon!

Take care!
