Commercial Feature: Pepsi - âBetter With Mealsâ (DC)
âWe shot on a Scorpio 45â with a skater scope and a Laowa 12mm to get us over the edge of the piano and really close focus to that Pepsi. The AC pulled, this is crazy, from infinity to like, one inch away from the lens. We were pretty stoked that we got that in one take. Meji and myself both definitely wanted to try to get it in-camera. All those bubbles were shot for real at like 800-900 frames on the Phantom.â - Thomas Revington, cinematographer

Meji Alabi and Thomas Revington on combining a 45â crane with a 12mm lens on a skater scope for a shot in the Pepsi ad, âBetter with Mealsâ.
âThis is probably one of my favorite shots that Iâve done, but coming up with the shot was challenging because everything had to be smoothly choreographed: the light coming on, our waiter walking by and the camera landing at the perfect spot.â - Meji Alabi, director

First roll back from the mamiya 7. I havent shot 120 in so long. The big negative is so rich. Great dev and scanning by the only @midwestfilmcompany best of the best x
