At the time of shooting this, we only had 3 lenses; The Canon 17-55 2.8, The Tokina 11-16, and the 70-200 2.8 IS2. We has a couple of screw-on ND and polarizer filters to bring the sky down a bit as well.
Everything was lit with natural light and the occasional use of a reflector. The Mysterium-X chip has just enough dynamic range to capture outdoor daylight and shade effectively, and the northern winter sun almost made the whole day feel like golden hour.
We have a lot of experience with natural light, and utilized it the best we could, making sure our scenes were oriented to work with the sun. We also relied on camera moves, framing, locations, and color-grading to stylize the piece.
By the way, the CamTram ladder dolly system is the best experience I've ever had with a dolly. I highly recommend it to everyone!
