Vimeo vid of the Day, "Oan and his vanilla ice-cream" by Laurent Perret

Oan, our son...and his vanilla ice-cream.

I love the way this looks. Laurent Perret uses a DVX-100 with a depth of field adaptor (35mm adaptor), which gives it its own unique and surreal look to it. The dark edges and the out of focus background just makes the real world seem a million times more beautiful. It almost lookss as if it were all shot on a set. And I couldn't imagine a better look for this video, what should be old 8mm reels is now replaced with an equally warm but much more clear picture that looks amazing. The music choice is perfect and the flow of the shots is illuminating. It's very motivating to know that making a video this charming and attractive can be done with just a little bit of saving up.

    Beautiful photography - great camera work. Would love to see what you could do with one of these adaptors, Justin.
