Creative Block - A Short Film | Episode 1 | Fujifilm X-Pro3 | Vintage 35mm Cameras | Vintage Lenses
This is a short film on how creative block can affect us. This is the first episode of a series of short films I will be doing.
I've shot this whole project on my Fujifilm X-Pro3, which is actually quite underrated for video. The lenses used were my set of vintage Nikkors, all attached to a speedbooster.
Regardless of the camera system you shoot or which lenses you may have access to, you can still make art if you rely on your set of skills and knowledge.
If you want to find out more about Night Crawlers, let me know in the coments below. Enjoy!

      @CaraDees here in Cape Town most street photographers who actually hit the streets regularly can hold their own. To the people who are concerned for safety reasons, there's a solution haha. We have a creative community here called Night Crawlers and we actually do photo walks sometimes past midnight even. There's safety in numbers, but you also feel safer when you have people around you who know the streets. Different game out here💯

    The drawback with the instant cameras has already been the small shot capacity of the film cartridges so you have to be selective with your shots years ago I used a Polaroid 600 series that was probably which was at the time one of the best instant cameras made as it was cheap but good quality But in their newer models Polaroid have become stingy with their film size and reduced it to 8 shots per cartridge I've always liked instant cameras and think if I am going to get a modern up to date one even though I grew up with Polaroid Fuji is now the way to as their films are cheaper and the cameras like the mini 40 with the vintage style look a lot less than a kids camera which the mini 11 12 and pal look like
