Iphone7+ video, HD, w/ film grain

This is a test video I shot on the iPhone 7+.  HD, hand held, no other/new processing programs on phone - phone is straight out of the box, lens is the one straight out of the box - no new lenses added. I added Film Grain effect in Final Cut Pro X in post. Otherwise exposure was adjusted in post, and color saturation was adjusted.  Footage looks pretty good - pretty great HD video for a cell phone camera I think.  Looking forward to trying 4K footage on the iPhone 7+, w/ various programs, lenses, other accessories that can improve the image. * Iphone7+ video, HD, w/ film grain from Sujewa Ekanayake on Vimeo .

How I ended up working with puppets in space for most likely a year or more OR the start of my adventure with Matt Zoller Seitz's movie Space Rabbit

Space Rabbit storyboard panel * Sujewa Ekanayake working on budget for Space Rabbit with Stephen, one of director  Matt Zoller Seitz's puppet friends * Sujewa, Stephen the puppet, and Matt discussing the budget for Space Rabbit * Matt receiving advice from Stephen on how to budget  for the needs of the puppet cast members *** Over 10 years ago a then little known film critic and filmmaker named Matt Zoller Seitz sent me his first feature "Home" to review on one of my blogs .  It was a pretty good first feature, and I kept in touch with Matt a bit over the years - easy to do thanks to Facebook and other social media.  About a year ago I ran into Matt on the subway in Brooklyn.  This was only the second time in real life that we hung out or met up - the first being back in 2007 during a film blogger meet up in NYC.  Anyway, at the subway meeting we briefly and quickly got caught up on news on our various creative projects and made vague p
