This is a spoof cinema commercial that I shot whilst in Venice on another job.

I Directed/shot/edited/graded/sound mixed the film and co-wrote the script.

Huge thanks to the absolutely amazing impressionist Pete Walsh who did the voice and co wrote the script with me. Many thanks also to the razor sharp Dr. Andrew Hempleman for the initial VO idea.

]]>Mosaic Anti Aliasing/Moire filter. Just upgraded my 5Ds. Breathtakinghttp://www.stewartread.co.uk/blog/2011/10/12/mosaic-anti-aliasingmoire-filter-just-upgraded-my-5ds-breath.htmlStewart Read2011-10-12T11:50:50Z2011-10-12T11:50:50Z

Just received my Mosaic Anti Aliasing/Moire filter this morning. This product is a revolution. We all love the 5D film look, short depth of field charactersitics, great super fast L lenses and form factor. Uptil now Moire and Aliasing occasionaly reared their ugly heads - not an issue unique to the 5D - the brilliant £20k Sony F3 has some moire issues of it's own.

This product seems to perform a miracle, greatly improving the perceived resolution and Moire/Aliasing evident in the standard 5D. This product will bring great benefits to my future 5D projects.

Using my two 5D's in the iconic Metropolis Studios building in West London. Joe recorded this vocal live as we shot - he has a very powerful voice in the flesh !
