It's not every day that you get the call to remake the a scene from one of the greatest movies ever made, the Godfather. The original scene was shot on a dolly with super baltar lenses and 35mm film. We took a more modern approach for this swamp themed recreation while trying to honor the original style of the film. We had a gimbal operator carrying a Movi Pro on a Ready Rig and I was operating the camera remotely with alpha wheels. We shot on a RED Epic Dragon and Contax Zeiss cinemoded prime lenses. The vintage lenses and diffusion filter combinations helped create a look similar to the original film.
