Juha: “I wanted to share this video I made and submit it to your viewers category. To be honest it is my showcase video on my website but less of a showreel as more of a music video and also a NYC street portrait. It is mixed media – Video, stills and music. So here it is, shot on A7s & A7rII – all Sony Zeiss glass – 50mm 1.8, 35 2.8 and 24-70f 4.
Edited in PP CC, Music made with Ableton Live. https://vimeo.com/157605509”
