Summary

▶ Find Inspiration and develop your ideas with Frame Set: https://go.frameset.app/4q1EJoA ▶ About This Episode: Cinematographer Oren Soffer joins Dylan Hahn to break down the first narrative project shot on Fujifilm’s new GFX Eterna 55. Instead of showcasing the camera's abilities in ideal conditions, the team embraced harsh light, tight spaces, minimal crew, and a production pipeline designed to truly stress-test the camera. They dive into large sensor techniques, lens coverage, mixing spherical and anamorphic formats, shaping light through subtraction, and how a 70mm close-up can feel both intimate and epic. Along the way, Oren shares his philosophy on lens testing, working fast without losing control, and why, despite all the tech, cameras themselves might be the most overrated part of filmmaking.
