Letterpress Process Video
I love this video for so many reasons. The cinematography is gorgeous and it was all done with Canon 7D video DSLR Camera. I love the fact that this level of quality video production is now available to a wider user group via the new generation of video DSLRs. The videographer really utilized the camera with most shots having focus pulls and a shallow depth of field. I’ve had my eye on the Canon 60D for awhile and this just sold it for me. This video also focuses on the subject of typography and letterpress printmaking, which is very dear to my heart. This takes me back to my college printmaking classes at UTK, where I learned to appreciate the subtle nuances of letterforms and became slightly addicted to the smell of ink and fine art paper. The graphic overlays and music really complement the overall experience of this video without overpowering the images. I’m posting this on my blog but I wish it was in my portfolio. Major kudos to Naomie Ross for producing one of my favorite short videos on Vimeo.
