‘Prologue’ — Full film /ˈprōˌlôɡ/ [ An introduction to a character that might play a significant role later in the story. Introducing a key element before the narrative begins. ] This one was special and very personal. An idea I had 3 years ago to create a piece of equipment that would reflect light in a more natural way, in a way that nature and the city bounces and reflects the sun light. Together with my good friend and director Matheo we started to play with ideas on how we could make a film that explores this quality of light. How it reflects in real life and how it reflects from the bounce. Showing the beauty it reflects in the skin tones. This project was only possible with the help of the amazing crew and rental houses who helped and contributed to this film. Thank you all of you! Last week it was also revealed that the film is nominated in two categories at the @filmlight_colour_awards , which will be revealed in two week at the Camerimage Festival. This is the biggest award there is for colourgrading and we are very proud of this nomination @franziska.heinemann Credits Directed by Matheo (@______matheo ) A film by CLIMA® (@clima.film ) & Bluff Bounce (@bluff_bounce ) Co-produced by Pexera (@pexera___ ) Cinematographer - Nicholas Bluff (@nicholasbluff ) 1st Assistant Camera - Juliano Possebon Ferreira (@______soju ) Loader / 2nd Assistant Camera - Arthur Villares (@arthurvillares ) Additional 2nd Assistant Camera - Caio Rodrigues (@caiorodrigues_____ ) Model - Peter Silva (@petersilvv ) Line Producer - Hanna Moura (@hanna_moura ) Production Manager - Délio Santiago (@deliosantiago_ ) 1st Assistant Director - Isa Liporoni (@isabellaliporoni ) Production Designer - Pedro Catellani (@pedrobolo ) Art Assistant - Alice George (@alice.g.eorge ) Editor - Lucas Moesch (@lmoesch ) Additional Editing - Matheo (@______matheo ) Color Grading - Franziska Heinemann (@franziska.heinemann ) Music Composition & Sound Design - IXYXI (@ixyxi.ixyxi ) Gaffer - @hnyerges Best Boy Electric - @rlelis_ 2nd Assistant Electric - Alberto Mariano (Betão) 2nd Assistant Electric - Lucas credits continued in the comments…

PROLOGUE @bluff_bounce | 500T, 250D and 50D 35mm “We chose 35mm because we believed in capturing every subtle detail of the light within each scene. Film offered us a richness of texture, depth, and tonal range that felt inseparable from the feeling we wanted to express.” Tap the link in our bio to watch the full film.
