Yeah RED would have been good to use, but we shot this Film 2 years ago and the JVC was the only camera suitable at the time...

Hi AJ, did you guys really work with the JVC without any 35mm lens adaptor ? What lenses did you use ? I own the JVC, too, but in case of fiction work, I always used P&S plus HS lenses from Zeiss, which was a great combination...

It's a real testament to the quality of the JVC camera and the filmmakers that the film looked so good. I knew going in that the film had been blown up from 720p to 35mm for distribution - and it looked great.

Unfortunately, IMO the film itself didn't quite work. Which is a shame considering the obvious effort that went into making it. But I suppose that's one of the perils of being so ambitious on such a limited budget.
