ABOUT

Sony got in touch and asked if we could create a short film shot entirely on their G Master 50mm f1.2 lens.

‘Zapper’ is a colourful short film set in two different locations, an amusement arcade, and a multi story car park. The concept came from a simple image of an array of flashing lights set in the background of a scene, a frame that would really highlight the bokeh of this stunning f1.2 Master Prime.

The main character in the arcade scene is a gamer who is unimpressed with the amusement selection, until he finds a retro game he enjoys a little too much. His enthusiasm causes unwanted distraction and annoyance to the arcade's janitor, someone you really don't want to get on the wrong side of, resulting in an unexpected turn of events.

The arcade scene was shot on our Sony FX6, and the car park scene on our A7SIII.
