*So refreshing to know there's still directors and DP's who believe in the continued relevancy of motion picture film principal photography. I shoot mostly digital these days, but I'm an old film shooter.*
At first I thought it seemed overkill with the entire car rig and trailer, but it really adds super flexibility and control to adapt to changing lighting conditions. Nice work team!
I had the opportunity to work with Midwest Camera Car on a feature down here near Brandon Florida called Dark My Light. They have some immaculate gear. We also shot on 16mm film too! Great BTS, keep it up!
Really awesome insight! You give inspiration and hope that a career as a Cinematographer can happen and will happen, if you put the work in and your mind to it. I am so proud of you Nkosi, I hope we can meet soon!
So refreshing content, really! Would love to see more. Maybe, only if possible of course, you could include some more „through-the-lens“ footage. When you looked through the viewfinder, I was always keen to know what you saw ;-)
Super interesting watch, thanks so much Nkosi! I'm curious if you have any advice when it comes to building relationship with director's to collaborate on narrative projects like this?
This job was a little different, because most of the relationship was built after I was hired. Regardless, I try to be myself while matching the director’s energy, meeting them where they’re at experience wise, and providing options to help inform their decisions while maintaining the initial vision. I could probably make a whole video on this haha.
Glad you enjoyed it! I’d say it depends on what you’re planning to shoot. I’ve shot anywhere from 1-5 rolls a day depending on the complexity of the scene(s)!

Love seeing something as niche as a 16mm car shoot as someone that never works with film!
Yeah it’s a rare one, had a blast shooting it!
Enjoy seeing how the sets flow, and all the people coming together to make it happen!
I'm following!
It's nice to see that you all are in Chicago. I thoroughly enjoyed this!
Super cool to see the process! Great insights, Nkosi 🔥
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool to see the Z-Cam E1 in the wild. I own a ZCam E2 but really wanting to get into film. Super great info nuggets here. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you liked the video, and yeah I’m a huge fan of film. It’s a whole different world.

The biggest thing it adds is safety for the actors and consistency for the entire production!

Saw my home girl Kemi! You local to Chicago? Film takes me back to when I started.
Kemi was great! Didn’t get to chat with her much, but she absolutely killed it. I’m Denver based but work all over. Chicago was a great stop!
so im like daang, whats this budget ! nice
What kind of adapter are you using for the lenses? It's PL to PL?
The Digiprimes are B4 lenses, so B4 to PL!
Thanks much.
what kinda haircut is that? looks fire
Thank you for sharing this! Cool camera setup. Are you using any filters to shoot through the car windshield? CPL or something.
CPL!
My goodness, I’d be stressed to strap my career lifeline to the hood of a moving car on a rainy day.
there were nerve wracking moments, but an experienced and thoughtful crew wash the worries away :)
Hey brother, love the channel. Love this video. ❤ How much film would you recommend having for a one day shoot? Love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤ #filmmaker
