After some immobile arts, photos and pixel art, time is for the movement. Introducing “BESPLA”, English named “For Free”. I talked with the author, a 31 years old Marko Butraković cameraman, who explained me the details.

BESPLA is very important for me since it was very first thing I’ve shot on my 5D MK2′s and at that moment no one actually belived that such a tiny thing could get in the mainstream production in less than a year time.

5D‘s in America are the mainstream now, they are the next new thing, a new revolution, there are thousands of phrases that are explaining what’s happening in production studios right now! Marko said, we in Croatia are sleeping, as always and no one takes DSLRs seriously. Sadly! Eventually they will penetrate the market and make their mark.

In the mean time I will keep shooting with primes, I’ll keep wrestling with extreme shallow DOFs and yes, I will continue to manual set Kelvins and to fill TB’s with tons of PRORES422 files.

Now watch, you will not regret it. Enjoy, and do not stop giving free hugs, people needs you.

Making of BESPLA

Here you can see the behind scenes, guys had trouble with the Police at the first scene. If you don’t understand, police officer told them to turn off the light. Please leave them alone, they are just doing something creative.

Marko also made several TVC’s, music videos, industrial movies, educational movies and equiped his studio with additional gadgets like steadicam, dolly system, different light sets, sound recording kits and more. You can find his work at butrakovic.com (his Vimeo profile). Also visit the official BESPLA web site, bespla.org.

Thank you Marko, I’m looking forward to share your future works.
