We shot this commercial for the "Stuttgarter Wohnungsbaugenossenschaften" completely on an A7s with an Atomos Shogun recorder. Various Canon-mount Lenses were used over a Metabones-Adapter. Our source material was 4K, 24p, but we did the editing offline (1080p) on an Avid media composer. We shot a little over 500 GB. For onlining and grading we went on to a baselight system. After the color correction, we put out the final dcp in 2K flat. The shooting took place in Munich in early April during two exiting days. In the first scene our location was the infamous "Schwabinger Sieben". To keep the original mood of that "cave", we used nearly no lights but candles. The A7s did a fantastic job at ISO 12800. The Youtube-file doesn´t quite represent the information that is in there (in the shadows), but the dcp for cinema sure does. The Senior Colorist at Das Werk in Munich was really impressed with the low-light capabilities of the A7s. Filming with a small and light camera like this added also great flexibility and speed to the production. We actually used a very simple slider for the dolly shots. Hope you enjoy our little thriller, which stresses a problem for German tenants: The fact that the landlord can arbitrarily claim his property for personal needs - even if you just made your home sweeter
