CALCIO STORICO FIORENTINO TAKE 2 the spirit of Gladiators is still alive
Two weeks ago I went for a shooting with Francesco Lepori and David Battistella. Three shooters and three pairs of eyes, for a nice sport to watch.  Calcio Storico is a game that has been played in Firenze, Italia for centuries. Four teams; RED, WHITE, BLUE and GREEN, representing different parts of the city. This is my take on that event. All I can say is; the spirit of Gladiators is still alive. Thank you Francesco and David, it’s always a pleasure to work with you guys. Hope you'll enjoy it as much as the chiken skin I had while filming and then editing. Put your helmet and seat belt on, it's going to be a wild ride! Best As a side note, I encourage you to visit the vimeo acount of Francesco and David. Especially Francesco's one who's the real Fiorentino. He has amazing eyes to compose a frame. I wish I could put a Red Epic between his hands to see what's coming up. TECHNICAL DETAILS: A Red M and a canon 5D have been used. We used nikon lens on the red M specially the 80 F1.4 135mm and the Tokina 11*16mm We filtered exclusively with a .6 No polarizer. Shuter speed was at 1/96 Format of shooting are 4,5K-4K 2/1-2K 2/1 for the slowmotion. With the canon 5 D Francesco used a zoom if I remember the max was 170mm. As for the proportions of 5D footages and Red in the edit, it is probably 50/50.
