Happy to say âHey Viktorâ will be premiering at this years @tribeca film festival. So much heart and soul went into this film and I feel honored to have been apart of such an amazing team of people who brought this film to life. This was truly a dream project to be apart of and Iâm so proud of this film. Canât wait to celebrate with everyone come June! đ
Come #behindthescenes with us and #cinematographer Liam Mitchell (@liammitchell ) on his work on the vibrant docu-series âThe Stories that Made Usâ, from production company @wallop.film . đ¨đŚ
ââThe Stories That Made Usâ is a documentary celebrating the importance of Canadian film and television,â Mitchell tells us. âIt was important for the project to look as cinematic as possible to properly honour the legacy of the shows and filmmakers we were exploring. We wanted a camera package that maximized production value while complimenting the run-and-gun nature of the project. We ended up using #Panavision #Primo 19-90mm zooms, along with a handful of Primo and #UltraSpeed primes. The 19-90mm is one of my favourite lenses. Its clarity perfectly captures real people in the real world while still always feeling smooth and organic, all within a focal range that gives you the flexibility to stay reactive in any environment. Theyâre clean in all the ways you want them to be while still feeling organic and cinematic.
The two main tonal references were Anthony Bourdainâs âParts Unknownâ and the travel documentary âLong Way Homeâ. Those shows succeeded because of the sincerity of their hosts â you get the sense they truly care about the stories theyâre telling. We saw a lot of that in George [Stroumboulopoulos] (@strombo ). We knew his genuine appreciation for Canadian film and television history would be the driving force behind our show, and we wanted a visual language that felt just as real and honest as what those shows captured.
âThe Stories That Made Usâ is rooted in the history and legacy of Canadian film and TV â no other company has a deeper legacy in cinema than Panavision. Theyâve played such an important role in shaping the Canadian film and TV industry from the very beginning, and theyâve supported countless filmmakers and cinematographers like myself along the way. So it just felt fitting to have them come on and help celebrate that history.â
