“Nomad” – Cinematographer Kevin Garrison

Shooting an independent movie is not easy, especially if you have a story that spans 25 countries, 7 continents, and your ambition is to shoot all in original locations. Add to that a love for the unique large-format look and the smooth skin tones of Signature Primes, and you can understand how much trouble cinematographer Kevin Garrison is in, currently shooting Taron Lexton’s feature film “Nomad.” Having started their shoot with an ALEXA LF with a spectacular solar eclipse captured in Chile, the production moved onto Australia and Africa, where their pre-production ALEXA Mini LF caught up with them. Kevin Garrison on ALEXA Mini LF: “The Mini LF is the perfect camera for our project: a small-budget independent film that’s shooting for massive, epic imagery. We travel a lot and with the Mini LF we can use a camera in places where a much bigger body just wouldn’t have been possible. Plus, it is very reliable; we’ve been running it all day in some crazy environments out here in Africa – dust and sand blowing with crazy wind 14 hours a day, unreal heat and cold.”
