Stills - Stratton Leopold

We recently spoke with Stratton Leopold at a screening of his film The Mosquito Coast (1986) starring Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, and River Phoenix.

We asked Stratton about any tips he may have for producing your first feature film, something that Moon Rabbit Media is currently laying the groundwork to do. Stratton was a wealth of knowledge and an inspiration.

Stratton is a living legend here in Savannah and has produced films like Mission Impossible III (2006), The Sum of All Fears (2002), The General’s Daughter (1999) and has worked as a production manager for films like Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), The Wolfman (2010), and Star Trek (2009).

Gear - Sony Alpha 7R III & 7III

These two Sony Alpha cameras make a fantastic A and B camera. The A7R III is an amazing camera and with its 42MP Full-Frame Exmor R BSI CMOS Sensor, it is the perfect camera to use for video as well as breakaway photoshoots on set. The A7 III has a 693-Point Hybrid AF System which is seriously impressive. Both cameras shoot a 4K30p Video with HLG & S-Log3 Gammas. We also use a custom Cine 3 profile that We have been very happy with over the years.

Seen pictured are the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens (white) and the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM Lens. Both lenses are extremely fast and are able to shoot at a f/2.8 which is perfect for low light situations. In the G Master series, we also have the Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM Lens which is the perfect lens for shooting establishing shots and anything Architectural. All three of these lenses have zero chromatic aberration and handle lens flaring in a way that is truly impressive.

On top of the cameras are two of the SmallHD Focus monitors. These monitors come equipped with lots of amazing features like focus peaking, histograms, and can even power the cameras. These monitors help us to ensure that our footage is razor-sharp and perfectly exposed every time.

Both cameras are kept safe in the Small Rig QR Half Cage. This is our favorite cage for the Alpha cameras and is super convenient also how can you not love those beautiful wooden side handles.

This is just a small peek at some of the equipment Moon Rabbit Media has to offer. We also have lens kits, tripods, lighting kits, grip equipment, drones, Ronins, 4K Editing Bay, and much more.
