The Quiet Island

I love the sense of mystery you can discover in the quieter and less traveled corners of a city. The sidestreets and alleys. The doorways and the storefronts. And of course, the graffiti and looming skyscrapers that seem to appear no matter how far you drift off the beaten path. Even in Manhattan, you can still find these quiet, little spots, especially after dark when there are less bodies to cross your frame. Despite the title, there were actually TWO islands in the video, since I the opening daylight shots were done in Williamsburg. Everything else was filmed in Manhattan over several days in late August and early September.

Filmed on GH4 in Cinema 4K, in tweaked version of Matt Mosher's M-log settings (same as those found here http://blog.planet5d.com/2015/05/frustrated-with-no-v-log-l-for-your-gh4-try-matthew-moshers-m-log-cinematic-look-instead/, except I left Master Pedestal at 0).

Only lens used was Canon 35mm USM f2 IS lens (IS turned off),
