| | | | DP Colt Seman Takes Cine Xenar III Lenses Through Extremes
 Director of Photography Colt Seman is always looking for the latest tools to enhance the variety of high-profile projects that come to his Long Beach, California based company, Sweatpants Media. When Seman and partner, Director Jonny Zeller, heard about Schneider’s new line of Cine Xenar III lenses, they had to put them through their paces. “We chose a variety of projects, with a variety of challenges,” says Seman. “We did a 30-second spot for NBC and “The X-Games” in LA. We also do an ongoing series for Red Bull, where the lenses have to keep pace with a racecar driver. We also did a spot for mophie juice pack PRO, where they went one-on-one with a machinist’s sparks. And, when we went to Nicaragua for a Panasonic launch they had to endure the endless rainforest. In every case, the results were outstanding.
