Digital Large Format

shallow depth-of-field and tilt + shitft



Ever since I first saw an image through the ground glass of a medium-format camera, which seemed magical and astoundingly three-dimensional to me, I wanted to use that image for filmmaking.The opportunity came when I had the chance to shoot the film Diorama directed by Vida Skerk.


The theme of the film is the fragility and unreliability of memory, so I conceived a visual concept that would emphasize this with its softness and extremely shallow depth of field. The setting of the film suggests the feeling of a diorama, a miniature, which could be somewhat achieved using a tilt-shift lens, but I wanted a more comprehensive approach.I made a device that acts as an adapter for a digital camera. For filming, I used a large-format Industar 37 lens, and its image is projected onto a ground-glass-like surface, which is then captured by a digital camera. The large-format digital system allows for manual focusing during filming, as well as 'tilt' and 'shift' movements of the lens.
