Media Accumulation: Falling Lessons: Erasure One - A Short Film Direct by Anh Vu about Alzheimers Based on the Poem by Beth Copeland about her experience with the onset of her dad’s Alzheimers Disease . To learn more about Alzheimers go here please - http://bit.ly/1dinkDw To read an interview with Beth Copeland please go here - http://bit.ly/1BDAJSc TRT: 2 min We used only three Ultra primes lenses, 16, 40, and 85mm - and a Red One MX camera - used hollywoodblack magic ¼ and 1/8 for filtration and minimal lighting - mostly a joker 800 bounced and just a 1x1 lite panel. We had a really beautiful house to shoot in. Added film grain in post - gorilla grain - just to take some of the digital edge off. Why not shoot on the Sony F35? Because we wanted to shoot up to 100 FPS. And why not the Alexa or Amira? - Because, wait maybe I could have scrounged one up from someone - oh well - we still got out of the old red one mx some really nice stuff and I don’t think people will be commenting that in the comment section - but maybe they will - so let’s see! Anyway in my testing perhaps the only camera would have made more of a difference for this would have been to shoot on film (but cost prohibitive for something of this scale), or maybe we should have shot f35 and just red one for the overcranked 100 FPS stuff but there would have been a possibility that the look would have not synced perfectly. Anyway! Anh was a really amazing director to work with - and the whole production was really great. Anh has a special certain sensitivity to actor’s performances that was refreshing and also has a really great visual eye and knack for visual design. I was honored to work on this film.
