on the set of « Celui qui pleure a perdu »

I was on the set of Marion Lefeuvre‘s film, produced by Les Productions 89. The scene took place in a photographer’s studio, so I had over my desk a lot of cameras and lenses that belongs to Marion’s father who used to be a professionnal photographer in his early years.

I found on this desk an EOS-1N (the same I had the chance to use these past 2 months), another EOS-1, both analogue SLR cameras. I found an old 50mm Minolta lens with no body, some old 110mm cameras, and a Kodak Flash with a broken lamp.

 

Among those things, I found some Canon Lenses, which wasn’t odd at all, because the film was shot with a 5D Mark II. But with no cap on, a 20-35mm old lens caught my attention. I decided to try it on my own 550D body. The lens was pretty aged and probably been bought with one of the EOS-1 standing on the desk.

Then I started to shoot pictures with it between takes. The lens was a little damaged on the lens and dirty, I didn’t have anything to clean it enough so the pictures came out blurry, with a foggy effect. It looked analogue although I was shooting with a digital camera. If you add the spirit of the room we were in, it seems the pictures has been taken in the late 70s in a recording studio.
