I think it's much better than the original feature-length film, and takes surprisingly bold risks, even for premium-TV. While I won't be copying the content, I will be emulating its cinematic-style.
With two large-format digital-cine cameras in hand and a ton of large-aperture Nikkor lenses, I should be able to get fairly close. All I need are some incredibly good-looking actors and some ridiculously luxurious shooting spaces. The lenses are designed to purposely introduce a controllable amount of spherical-aberration which gives a soft halo-effect to everything you shoot.
It's not heavy-handed like a fog filter; it's subtle, but still there. They're unique in that they imbue a soft-focus character without sacrificing accutance—they're razor-sharp.
Sorry, I couldn't locate the full-resolution wedding photos at the moment, but they're very pretty. I also have two of Nikon's "worst lenses ever," which are great for introducing natural optical lens-flare, with the zoom lens being particularly capable in this regard sorry, no sample images : 1. If you do happen to acquire the mm zoom, beware that it can damage a modern Nikon body.
You either need an old F-body or a Nikon Df, which has a tab to move the potentially damaging prong safely out of the way. No script, no idea, no "elevator-pitch," just some random visual ideas. I made the remnants of the short I keep playing way back in and it lacks in a lot of areas.
