Calabash Films delivers a new web video for East London fashion label Hurwundeki. The film, all shot on a Canon 5D SLR, gives visitors to the Hurwundeki site (and social media platforms) a flavour of the brand and a sneak peek at the Spitalfields’ boutique.

On location, we used a range of different lenses with the SLR (a Canon 50mill 1.4 Prime lens and a Canon 17-40 Mill F4 lens), standard lighting and rigged up a track to achieve the gliding motion. Keep in mind you’ve got to re-set lighting and focal lengths for every single shot so the process isn’t as fluid as a standard shoot with say a Sony EX3, but the beautiful pics and really filmic depth of field makes it all worthwhile. Just give yourself a bit longer on set. All in all, can’t wait to use it again.

High five to our super production crew… Siggy Rosen-Rawlings and his team for the beautiful visuals and lighting, Tracy Joss our talented editor, who got just a little too excited by the lovely D5 footage and the icing on the cake, the soundtrack composed by Nick Norton-Smith.
