“Kung Fury 2” – Cinematographer Tom Stern
The success of "Kung Fury", an English-language Swedish martial arts/action/comedy short film written and directed by David Sandberg, has put him in the director’s chair of the big Hollywood feature film “Kung Fury 2,” lensed by Tom Stern ASC, AFC. The crazy action nature of this production called for a small camera. Shooting has commenced with an ALEXA Mini LF and ARRI Signature Primes. “The new Mini LF: Less, much less, in many respects; especially weight and size but not less powerful than its big sister, the ALEXA LF, in image quality. Truly, for a cinematographer, less is now more,” says Tom Stern. On the ARRI Signature Primes he adds: “I really like the Signature Primes. Super MTF, but not too sharp or full of contrast. They are extremely fast and have a great flare resistance!”
