Editing workflow

I just returned from two weeks of taping in the Palestinian territories of the West Bank. I left my EX1 at home and went with a less conspicuous, tourist-camera-geek-looking rig. I used a Panny...

The color artifacting could be from the two recompressions required to get it online. The original footage really looks great. Yes, the Letus softened things quite a bit, but my complaint about the...

Yes, it could use some more variation in speakers, but too many of my interviewees are German speakers! Subtitles wouldn't make for a sexy trailer, methinks. This trailer will be developing over...

Yes, the bands are there in the viewfinder and in the video the camera creates- thus the frame I posted above.

Then it sounds as though a 2.8 lens is the upper limit. I'll try my 50mm f1.4 and see what other large-aperture wonders eBay holds.
