Personal statement
Director Mark Hemmings says:
"This film was shot by myself and Lauchlan Ough, and our goal was to
see if DSLR video technology would work with commercial video. We shot the b-roll sequences with a Nikon D90, and even though it is not full HD it works
perfectly (Full HD is not always necessary for most non-TV commercial videos).
The story is a heartwarming journey of loss and hope, and we wanted the filming
to be as emotive as possible. We utilized selective focusing with Nikon lenses,
color balance changes for mood, and contrast options for a "film look". The main
soundtrack song "Where I Belong" by Matt Gilman and Cory Asbury fit the story
perfectly.
We loved the results of the camera experimentation, and hopefully our
viewers will as well."
