DOP Zhenya Mantulin on the lens of his choice:
This music was shot in the center of Kyiv during curfew in July 2022, the 5th month of the war. In this case for me the architecture is captured very organically by the Anamorphic characteristic. The Anamorphic lends to the size of the environment in which the dancers are moving. The 65mm macro is beautiful for portraits and details without the need of diopters. And we used 40mm for most of the other shots both wide and close ups. We have a dark mood and I love how sharp they can be wide open without too much distortion. Cooke Anamorphics give us a cinematic and natural look at the same time.
