DP Gadget is proud and humbled to have been a part of the production of “Lubuk,” a gripping psycho thriller that delves into the dark and disturbing world of human organ harvesting. This landmark film marks the first Malaysian movie shot entirely on the Kinefinity Mavo Edge 8K camera, paired with the vintage IronGlass rehoused prime and Dulens Vintage Series APO prime lenses.
The Advantage of Kinefinity Mavo Edge 8K and Vintage Lenses
The combination of the Kinefinity Mavo Edge 8K camera and these vintage lenses creates a surreal aesthetic, adding a beautiful softness to the highlights and an overall unique look to the film. The camera’s ability to capture clean images at high ISO settings (ISO 5120) allows the filmmakers to achieve raw, unfiltered visuals with minimal lighting setups, primarily using practical lighting.
Shooting Location and Benefits
Shot entirely in the confined, eerie spaces of an old folks home, the full-frame sensor of the Mavo Edge 8K provides the filmmakers with the flexibility to create wide perspectives and depth, enhancing the visual storytelling in tight interiors. The compact form factor of the camera allows for versatile shooting, enabling smooth transitions between gimbal and handheld modes.
