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!
