Recording Format Question - multiple camera shoot
Hi,
I have an event this weekend where there'll be four cameras used: Sony EA50 Sony EX3 Panasonic GH3 Canon 600d Will be fun matching the footage in the edit... My question regards the recording formats: Am I better to record at the best quality on each camera, or should I try to match them prior to filming? Any pointers appreciated! |
Re: Recording Format Question - multiple camera shoot
By all means, try to get them as close as possible BEFORE you shoot! You have a real diverse bunch of gear there and trying to match them in post later could cost you your sanity.
While you might not be able to make a 100% perfect match before the job if you can them the camera close, you'll save an enormous amount of time in the edit! Always try to match before!!! |

Thanks Don - that's what I was thinking but didn't initially want to lose the quality of the higher spec cameras to match with the lower.

Ryan,
I think the 2 Sonys will be close of course. The others, well you might be better off trying to get them to match as close as possible while still keeping as high a quality as possible but in post choose your cuts carefully. IOW I don't think I d put a shot from the GH3 next to a clip from the EX3 unless I could get them really close color wise or if you were going to use some sort of SFX. It's a hard decision when using 4 different cameras and 3 different mfgs. Good luck! |
