35mm in the digital-videoworld stands for filmlook. Everyone thinks that mounting a 35mm-adapter to his cam will make the filmlook. But it doesn`t. It gives the camera-operator a lot more ways to design the filmed image. You can separate foreground and background, or play with focuslevels while filming a discussion. But to do this you have to operate the lens mounted to this 35mm-adapter. And that’s a lot to do.

The Guys at FreshDV have produced some videos to show the 35mm amateur like me what to do with a 35mm adapter, a follow-focus and all this technical stuff that we all geek out for.

• The Art of Pulling Focus (Part 1)
• The Art of Pulling Focus (Part 2)
• The Art of Pulling Focus (Part 3)
• The Art of Pulling Focus (Part 3 in 720p)

In addition to this they reviewed 5 follow-focus-systems and showed how to setup one of the 35mm adapters available out there.

• Review of Five Follow Focus Systems
• Setup and Configure the Brevis 35mm adapter

With this Videos you should be able to chose the right system, buy it and go out testing it to master it eventually. If you want it. It’s your choice, but now you have the knowledge to choose. I will wait. my next one will be done fully with software to produce the look.
