@arri Indian director and DP Setu (Satyajit Pande) shares insights about working with ARRI Signature Zooms on their new short film, “Across Windows.” The idea came from the title of John Scofield and Pat Metheny’s album, “I can see your house from here.” Set during a COVID lockdown, the film is about a young boy and girl who live across from each other in a conservative neighborhood.
“The ARRI Signature Zooms fill a long-standing void. The quality of the image across the range and being able to shoot at 500 mm with ALEXA Mini LF with just the in-frame sources at night was quite amazing,” says Setu.
“Most of the sequences were conceived with testing the zooms in mind, using deep focus shifts. In the sequence where the kids play, the idea was to follow the action from a single vantage point, using the zoom range. At the flower market I intended to push the lens against flaring bulbs. I was quite amazed at how the lenses held up, including with the 1.7x extender. I was shooting at 300 mm and T2.8 across buildings which were 20 m apart with absolutely no additional lighting. The results are there to see.”
