I made a new short teaser video for our upcoming acoustic album, Bare-Bones:

Kolton wanted a old-school video look for videos for this project, so I added the VHS effect in post using the Rarevision app.

I shot most of the recording session with multiple cameras, the angle in this video was from a disposable 35mm lens on a Sony A7C.

The disposable lens does provide a cool “film camera” look that I find appealing, but it has several limitations, mainly it’s terrible in low light settings and also looks “low-resolution” straight out of the camera.

It’s easy to fake that grainy film look for footage and photos from a good lens, but it doesn’t work the other way (you can’t make footage from a Dispo lens look “good”).

I’m fond of the look of the disposable lens, although after reviewing the footage, I plan to stick to using my good 35mm lenses (Sony 1.4 GM and Sony Sonnar 2.8) moving forward.
