A couple of months ago I was the DP for a music video for singer Raquel Martinez. The video for the song Heaven In My Heart was directed and edited by David Bermejo.
I shot this with a Canon XH-A1, Redrock M2 adapter, and some Canon FD lenses. The most commonly used lens was a 50mm f/1.4. The 28mm was used in a couple of shots, but very minimally. This was mainly because we shot with a small crew and just didn’t have the time to change lenses.
Lighting for the indoor scene was done with a small Arri kit. Exterior lighting was done using a shiny board where needed. We also had a dolly rolling on PVC for the moves. All pretty basic.
Check out the video in HD on Vimeo, or see it below.

Looks outstanding… Seriously.

Thanks Unk. Much appreciated.
Congratulations for a very well done job. Good edit. Good camera moves.
I have an A1 myself and I’d like to ask you about the lenses you used. Are they regular photo lenses? I haven’t decided for the adapter yet. The only one I know is Letus. How is yours?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
I shot a documentary with 2 A1s… using nothing fancy like your adapter and lenses. Only the cameras.

Thank you Petre.
The adapter that I used on this shoot is the Redrock Micro M2 adapter. I use the Brevis 35 now. Each has its strengths and weaknesses, but overall I like the Brevis more. I have not used the Letus, but I have read many good things about it. The lenses that I use are Canon FD lenses. They are manual photographic lenses that I purchased used from eBay.
I like the documentary on your website. Very well done. And an interesting story. I would like to see more of it.
A friend urged me to check out this site, nice post, fascinating read… keep up the nice work!
