I never should have sent you away.

The law's not all there is. There's right n' there's wrong. And then there's all thet in-between.

And outside of right n' wrong? Well, there lie places that the law don't reach.

Hi Cary,

We managed to get a look and feel test going the other evening. This test footage was shot wild (no audio):

Here's what it looks and feels like with some audio:

It was shot in 4K on a Red Gemini with an Angeneiux 25-250mm lens in available sunset light. I noticed some slight vignetting, which isn't always there when I go through the focal length range of the lens. It doesn't bother me. It'll completely go away if our final delivery file is 2K, which will most likely be the case.

The aspect ratio is 2.39:1, which, curiously enough, is the same aspect ratio that the westerns The Outlaw Josey Wales and Django Unchained were shot in. Fistful of Dollars and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly were shot 2.35:1 - close enough.

It looks pretty cinematic to me but let me know your thoughts.

Lisa handled the hair / makeup, costuming, props, and audio.

Talk soon!
