Nikon D-Movie Screening room with artistic video from Harris Savides

Savides created this short film, which reflects his life on the road away from his family, using the Nikon D5000 along with two NIKKOR telephoto lenses, the AF 80-200mm f/2.8D and the AF 28-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IF.

“Aside from the size, what I like about working with the D5000 is the quality of the image,” said Savides. “I found that this camera creates a special film-like texture unlike a regular movie camera. The image has a finish that has a still photo quality, which for me felt right for this short film – a series of moving stills.”

Savides, a director of photography for more than 25 years, began his career as a photographer in the fashion industry but made the natural transition from still photography to cinematography. In addition to Milk and American Gangster, for which received a BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) nomination, Savides has worked with some of the top names in film and entertainment, such as David Fincher and Noah Baumbach.
