Re: Act of Valor movie shot on 5D
Well to be honest Chris, that is far more of a transgression than what I experienced. As you were the sole DP working for free under the duress of 48 hour filmmaking (I know it well, having directed...

Re: how to shoot this close-up
Using a shiny reflector (mylar-type finish) delivers good results on black skin. Large softboxes or white bounces can result in a flat, patchy look as the skin will reflect those as the white sources...

Re: Act of Valor movie shot on 5D
Tim...everyone can have their own opinion. I've heard a few about the movie and they range from enthusiastic to, well, Dylan! As far as the acting goes--I don't think it's really accurate to say that...

Re: Act of Valor movie shot on 5D
I've probably already said it but I'll say it again: today's production schedules are so relentless that the filmmaking process has been all but uprooted. Used to be, there was such a thing as a...

Re: Act of Valor movie shot on 5D
Dylan, I wasn't there for that scene, so I can't comment on it.
What I can say is this: soft takes happen. They are noted, we do another one. There's no such thing as non-printed takes these days,...

Re: Act of Valor movie shot on 5D
Well, in a sense it was EVERYONE's first day on a 5DMKII--remember, this was like three years ago; the guys were making it up as they went. At that time there were no loupes, no outboard monitors, no...

Re: What kind of lenses are you planing to use
I have the 21 through 100 in ZE and have been using them on my 1D and 5D for the past couple of years. Optically they are essentially the same as the CP2's. They are neutral to cool compared to the...

Re: 5D in the "bigtime"
I think there are a few clips around like that--there's definitely tons of footage. After the screening we saw a solid 30 minutes of behind-the-scenes tomfoolery. I saw something on the web last...

Re: Does S-Log need to be graded all the time?
Can't speak to what you shoot, but as far as what you see in prime-time and on the big screen; we are going to have to agree to disagree on that end. Things are simply not what they seem. Any given...

Re: Does S-Log need to be graded all the time?
Duke, that's all assuming that you are able to use the camera itself as the meter--doesn't help much if you have to light one set while shooting on another.
I'll admit that I use my meters far...

It's been a confusing couple of years with the DSLR's and their different target sizes, but we are getting back to some semblance of order again with the new cameras...

Thank you Nigel for not only great imagery but ID'ing each shot with ISO, something I sorely missed from the videos made for the rollout event, which rendered them all but useless for me.
