#Cinematographer Andre Myers Washington (@dp.drete ) takes us #behindthescenes of GREEN: Meet the Greens, the third and final chapter in the ambitious & vibrant anthology film ‘Three Colors: Pan-African’, supported by Panavision’s #NewFilmmaker Program. Each chapter was directed and shot by different filmmakers, highlighting the dynamicism of the culture it endeavors to capture.
“With this being my first time ever working with Panavision in any capacity, from being there to actually using their equipment, I did not want to overthink my decisions,” Washington tells us. “So I kept it simple: I wanted a lens that was a happy medium between characterized and clean. Nothing too stylized or clinical. Thus, #director Tyler Ocasio Holmes (@bytyholmes ) and I landed on the #Primo70 lenses as a perfect fit for the story.
The [chapter] is broken up into two visually distinct ‘worlds’ that we knew each needed their own instantly recognizable visual character: the ‘sitcom world’ shot on old-style broadcast cameras and the ‘real world’. The Primo 70’s allowed us to find a happy medium between the distinct sitcom look with the more modern narrative film look.”

I had to beg them for 5 days straight just to get 15 seconds worth of footage, but this will last forever.

Wanted to get some shots up, brush up on my editing skills after 5 years of not touching an editing program. So I decided to shoot a short film inspired by a guy I saw one day on my way home who smacked his face on the concrete doing tricks. He kicked his bike, looked around, got right back on it, and kept it pushing.
Thanks to my dawgs @oliverhaeden and @_hiphopfiend for helping out by taking 2 hours out of their day to do this random ass impulsive exercise. Yes, this is my Bike.
