Additional material from the filming of the TV series "Pirates of the 21st century" for the REN TV channel about Somali pirates. Filming took place near Novorossiysk.

On the way to the filming of the series in Novorossiysk.

It all starts with an idea, then the story appears on a piece of paper.
Then painstaking and long work to create a world in which the heroes live.
Every detail that creates an atmosphere is important, and then the age of reality disappears
and the viewer gets inside the story.
My showreel consists of footage taken on a Huawei p40 Pro phone.
+2 frames not from the phone.
Shooting through the Micro 24fps app

Cameraman on the Pirates of the 21st Century project (REN-TV series)
In between filming, we rest and photograph the beauty.











Sunrise at 7:00 over the sea and ships on the horizon. A special atmosphere.
Taken on a Huawei p40 Pro phone.
We continue to work on the series.
I take beauty shots on my phone in passing. These are the sketches you get.
Today, from a survey of filming locations on the shore, I saw a stranded Katran shark. A species of shark that lives in the temperate waters of the basins of all oceans. It occurs at depths up to 1,460 m. The maximum recorded length is 160 cm (according to other sources - 208 cm). One of the most common shark species in the world. It was a pity, apparently, there was no one to throw her back into the sea.









It's night, nature is sleeping. And the caravan is all in motion. Active preparations for filming are underway.

Preparing for the night shift. Cars get stuck in the sand. Lighting devices with a total capacity of 25.2 kW are installed on the skylift.
It turned out to be cool, atmospheric shots, the shooting went great.




Lunch at the film site is everyone's personal time. It is an island of tranquility and relaxation. During this time, you regain your strength. This is the "vacation" of the day.

Sleep for 3 hours. There is still a road, preparation. The shift with the camera is 12 hours. It's an hour's drive to the apartment. The fees after the shift are a couple of hours. It turns out to be 18 hours of work. I arrived, took a shower and had 3-4 hours to sleep. And again at 3:30 a.m. get up and run.

We work on DZOFILM film optics, I appreciated the difference in size and weight with Ultra Prime, especially when balancing on Ronin.
For myself, I decided on a line of film optics that is suitable for a full-frame camera for shooting advertisements and movies. I'll start putting together a kit to work on my projects. The picture will become much more interesting.
Since I'm on Sony cameras and need both autofocus and manual in one bottle, the choice fell on the first autofocus film optics samyang M-FA. According to the drawing, it's decent for your money. Everything that is more interesting is already in the range of 170-250 thousand for one glass, and it is without autofocus and purely for working with a focus puller. Optics with a cool cookie-type pattern is already 10-11 thousand dollars for manual glass. And the optics kit is already 12 million rubles. It is reasonable to rent such optics with a full camera team for large projects.

Snow, heat, rain, water, fire, chases on vehicles and watercraft, explosions, shooting, smoke, heavy steadicam, difficult terrain, physically difficult shooting points in which you have to balance and hover so as not to fall. In all conditions, the operator must produce high-quality footage. It only comes with experience and practice.

Morning shots are always beautiful
Video contests of incredible beauty
And we're making a movie.

Nothing is visible in the BMPCC screen. Is it familiar?

Great. I love teleoptics. The overall plan is 125 mm. Beauty!!!!











Making Of our cool 21st Century pirate project! A huge rescue for all those who arrived at the precinct. We did it!
