Scary acting with the Canon 550D

This was an unusual post. It is a video i did a month ago for an acting student in Edinburgh. she needed a simple video of her acting as 5-9 different people and all having the slight scary, creapy twist.

K is such a lovely girl but when she acts it is kinda scary. 

The video was shot with the Canon 550D at the video settings of 1080p, 25fps, 1/30th of a second, f4 iso 400 

Shot in her bathroom with only the onboard mic, 

Sound effects are from the room and are just her breathing and slowed down or reversed and slowed down, all done in imovie.

Shot with the Nikon 20mm f2.8 ais lens and lit by a mobile phone

Nikon 20mm f2.8 AIS manual focus lens Sharpness testing

The Nikon lens in this blog is not a new lens, it is super old and oldschool, it has no auto focus, no in camera aperture control,  no zoom or auto conformation.  Its not nearly as sharp as modern day lenses but for some reason I love it.
