[@sdiorldn4112]

these images are breathtaking, as a film student this has really inspired me to invest more in to locations

[@finnbenischek3170]

Thank you so much! Very glad to have inspired you, location is everything!

Fantastic location. Nothing beats being out there, and shooting on film. Well done; very enjoyable.

Very impressive. From the style to the sound. Everything is very precise. A very difficult task to pull off indeed. Kudos!

Amazing work! The shot at 0:52 is absolutely mesmerizing.

That was great! 16mm is such a gorgeous way to capture the feeling created here. You clearly know how to use the medium well. I love the idea of the digital switch at the end...very inspired trick...

Восхитительная работа! Отличные ракурсы, от них захватывает дух. Всё же ничто не сравнится с плёнкой, такая тут восхитительная цветовая гамма и цветопередача. Успехов в дальнейшем! Буду ждать более длительную короткометражку. Кстати, что думаете о советской кинокамере Красногорск-3 (так же и красногорск-2, они похожи), возможно пробовали снимать? Привет из России!

[@finnbenischek3170]

привет! спасибо за добрые слова. я действительно пробовал стрелять на Красногорске-3. я только что снял музыкальное видео на эту камеру. мне очень понравился опыт его использования. я доволен кадрами, которые он создал. Единственное, что мне в нем не понравилось, это сильное дрожание ворот. Кадры получились немного шаткими, но в целом камера потрясающая.

what was your budget for the film stocks and development?

[@finnbenischek3170]

This was shot with two rolls of film, costing me about 200 USD in total. Including processing and scanning.

[@grim4733]

Dude this is a huge inspiration to me. I've been wanting to shoot on film so bad but I got scammed out of a KG-3 on eBay almost a year ago lol but when I get either a KG or a Bolex I hope what I make is even a quarter as good. Maybe an unexpected question but how do I go about making costumes look realistic? I plan on making a cyberpunk type short film soon and I need a similar utilitarian look to your main character

[@finnbenischek3170]

Thank you so much man that really means a lot! I'm sorry to hear about you getting scammed out of a camera thats awful!! For the costumes I would say always start out by looking for used clothing to start filling out the costume. For this particular costume all of the cloth and such that he is wearing were purchased at a goodwill, including the box "backpack" on his back. The backpack straps were made of belts from goodwill as well. Once you have everything, if you want to make a gritty costume like this, I'd recommend further weathering everything by dying all of the bright colored components in a mixture of very dark instant coffee and black tea, soak everything for a couple hours and it should get a nice weather tinge to it. The only thing that was brand new in this costume were the goggles which i purchased off of temu for 4 bucks, which were also weathered in the coffee tea mixture and scratched up with a razor a bit to add scratches and weathering. Just think of ways you can add depth to a costume and have different layers!

[@ryan_wiik]

Great job! The locations are fantastic, and the lighting wonderful. How many rolls did you go through to capture this? And how many days?

[@finnbenischek3170]

Thank you! I went through 2 rolls. Arrived to the location around sunset, walked up the dune for the sunset/night shots before dark. Got up the next day at about 4AM and walked to the top, shot all the day time shots during sunrise and before noon. We were back down at about 11AM to our cars. So in total it could have been done in one day, but we shot on two separate days. I switched from the 50D roll to an Ektacrhome 100D roll on top of the dune on the second day.

[@rustyshackleford4728]

That's nuts that you got all of this on just two rolls. You must have really nailed the preparation!

Dude this might be the sickest thing I’ve seen shot on 16mm on youtube. You perfectly captured the vibe from the original Mad Max. This just proves to me that a feature film would look incredible shot like this. Did you shoot sound speed on this? Or was it all added in post?

[@finnbenischek3170]

Thank you so much!! All sound was added completely in post, although we did record a few wild sound effects on location.
