Philip Bloom’s videos always put me in a state of awe. His workshop in New York showed off the Sony A7S and how it’s capable sensor will make any shot a reality. It’s videos such as this that make me want to break out my camera and shoot a film.
Lens whacking is when you disconnect your lens from the camera mount and shift the lens around to create interesting planes of focus and allow light to bleed onto the sensor. I have never actually used this in practice, but Philip’s video is truly so awe inspiring that I might just have to go out and shoot some lens whacking footage right now!
