One of the first Short movies ever shot on Leica q3 8k

Get this 196 page Ebook Photography Essential for free here: https://www.photo-serge.com/photography-essentials-by-serge-ramelli

When I got the Leica Q3 I knew it shot in 8k, and I wanted to try to shoot videos with it.

I shot most of this short at 1.7 with the Summilux 28 f/1.7. It did not disappoint. My main idea was to shoot in Low light and hope to get a cinematic result.

The only problem is that the Leica Q3 doesn't take sound, so I recorded everything using a DJI mic with my Iphone and synched everything in Davinci resolve, which I use to edit this.

I loved making this and playing around with a fiction short to promote my book.

It was a lot of work, and I hope you enjoy the result.

The only thing I had trouble with is that the Leica Q3 doesn't shoot in Log as far as I could figure out so the color correction was limited.

I shot in 8k but edited in 4k.
