Except that that's only a starting point.

All failures aren't equal. An hour you don't sell at any rate is a bigger failure than an hour sold at half your overhead rate. Taking on a low budget...

I use pluraleyes which doesn't stretch the audio at all - it just determines the sync between camera and the external audio and lines them up. You can get bad drift in FCP if you get the sequence...

Have you actually experienced any drift recording dual system with these cameras? Remember you're never shooting more than 12 minutes of video in a single take - I've never seen a clip up to that...

Low light, too, of course. Also, I forgot to mention time lapse - that's one area where there's simply no comparison to any current video cameras. With an inexpensive intervalometer remote you can...

Tim - everything you mention is correct. It's a trade off though of certain image characteristics for other ones - and it really comes down to your preference, and your audience's.

Yeah I haven't used mine a lot since I got it because I don't have a solid mounting system. I just went ahead and ordered one of the LCD hoods to do my own mount, looks like a good solid solution.

"A Better Place" - 48 Hour Film shot on 5DmkII

We did this in December for the 48HFP International Shootout - theme was "End of the World" and there weren't any other required elements.

This was our 12th film in timed competition, and one of...

ProRes uses less resources to play back, so you get smoother playback in FCP when you convert, as well as RT transitions & effects. I've had some issues with FCP locking up and crashing if I'm...

Poetic, almost, but inaccurate. The 5/7D don't use 1920x1080 in just the center of the chip - they use the entire chip area, but skip some of the lines. With a chip of this size and resolution I...

I never added the Hoodeye because I felt the eyecup wasn't deep enough to really be comfortable, the new one is definitely much better. And you're right - the magnification isn't so much that the...

Except that I don't think Tramm's talking about full screen, full res output over hdmi - just the equivalent of what you can get when you're not recording. Much better for focusing, certainly, but...

2.1Mp wouldn't be enough because you need to divide the photosites up between red green and blue. So to get a 1:1 sampling (4:4:4) for all three colors at 1920x1080 you'd need 5760x3240 or 18.7mp. Or...

Not if you let pluraleyes do the work for you. Throw everything on a timeline, one track per camera, and let it sync and generate multicam clips while you get coffee.
