Here are four frame grabs from my Avid timeline from "PINK". These are flashback shots of "young Nate". Used a warm wash, slightly contrasty look to depict a past era in time. These were all shot on my Canon XH-A1 in HDV at 1/48 shutter using the Letus35 FE 35mm adapter. Nikon lenses were used - 24mm, 50mm and 85mm. Color correction was done in Avid using three-way corrector, Magic Bullet Colorista, and Boris Continuum.
I think they have a very filmic quality. Remember, the show premieres online Tuesday September 4th!!!

Who Am I?
I also created the Streamy and Webby award-winning web series PINK, which to date has been viewed online around 10 MILLION times at places like YouTube, Hulu, Koldcast and TheWB.com. And speaking of TheWB.com, I also produced and directed an online thriller for them called EXPOSED. It was released summer 2010. And most recently I created a new online sci-fi series called CONTINUUM, which is part of the online indie TV network JTS.tv - Just The Story and NOW available via VOD through indie platform Distrify.
Oh, and I don't shoot weddings. Thanks for asking though.

very nice stills! i'm going to upgrade my dvx for a xha1 soon. do you use the letus with rails or without? trying to decide between that, brevis, or sgpro.
Blake Calhoun says:
No rails. Nice thing about the Letus is you don't need rails. You can use them of course, but the 72mm screw on mount works well. Just make sure to use a UV filter in between the lens and the Letus to protect the camera's optics. It's easy to scratch if you're not careful. I have to vote for the Letus over the others. They all do pretty much the same thing, but for $700 the Letus gets you great bang for the buck - flips the image AND gives you Nikon or Canon mounts. You really won't go wrong with any of those adapater though.
Good luck,
Blake
