Awesome. I'll have to check it out! Thanks for the suggestion.

For one scene I used a Glidecam but didn't like it so I stopped using it (I owned the Smooth Shooter). Other than that, just a basic shoulder rig. It's pretty light with the C100mkII so no need for Easy Rigs or anything.

re: focusing. It depends. If I was on the 24-105mm I tended to use the auto focus feature if I could because we'd be so run and gun. Of course, the only problem with it is that you have to keep the subjects centered, so if I were following two people I would right the AF On/Off switch depending on what was going on.

If I were on the Rokinon lenses, I'd be manually focusing.

Hey Chris. Thanks for checking out Layover. For the helmet shot, I basically cut off half of the visor and then attached a GoPro to the helmet and fitted it in that space. I wish I could have used a camera with better for focusing capabilities (she's a little soft) but I had to go with what I had. Here's a pic of the setup:

Dude. Thanks for the heads up. Frickin' algorithms...

We used the Shogun to get ProRes HQ 4:2:2 at (sort of) 10-bit vs the 4:2:0 8-bit you get with internal recording.

Re: lens. The burning stuff scene at the beginning, the fight scene and the final shootout scene were all shot using the Canon CN-E primes. For the rest of the movie, we shot on the Rokinon cine primes and the Canon 24-105mm. Any scene where we're running around on the street or in a car, we're probably using the Canon 24-105mm because of its image stabilization. I also used a Sigma 70-200mm for a couple shot. But the bulk of it was on the Rokinon cine primes.

For the LUT, I used the one of Resolve's built in Film Look LUTs, the Kodak D60.

Thanks for the kind words!

Hey Kelly,

So, 1) yes, if we would've had to rent a camera over the course of those six months it would have been A) expensive and 2) a pain (because sometimes we would decide to just go and shoot something). Hard to say but honestly, cameras are becoming so inexpensive these days, it's more and more likely that either you or someone you know owns a decent camera.

2) I don't own a studio, I just have editing software and have resources for post. So, we edited this on FCP 7 (the last project I will edit on that system). All post crew were paid (thought a a favor rate, rather than their full rate, but the favor rate is something I've earned from them over years of doing projects). Our post budget on this film was $25,000. So, we shot the film for $75,000 and then post costs were $25K. Color correction was done via DaVinci Resolve (a free program, though we paid the colorist). We paid our editor. Our biggest costs were sound and music but they're so important to the end product, it's worth it.

So, yes, post can cost money but we did factor that into the budget.
