Re: Social Distortion: "Machine Gun Blues"

Re: Hard case for 10-12 lenses and dividers?

Re: Anybody Worked on a Lady GaGa Video?
It helps when you have some of the largest budgets in the music video industry to work with! We constantly use those as a benchmark when struggling to make "epics" on 1/25th the budget of hers.

Re: Cinestyle vs Neutral vs RAW Test
I'm pretty used to working around hot skies, that has always been an issue with video. What is disconcerting with these cameras is that the specific advantage of extended shadow detail that emerged...

Re: Cinestyle vs Neutral vs RAW Test
While I understand the theory of flat profiles like Cinestyle potentially causing issues in the midrange (as Jon describes it, "stealing bits"), I have yet to see visible proof of this. Anyone have...

Re: Hard case for 10-12 lenses and dividers?
Getting custom foam work done is not outrageous--twelve cutouts for lenses should run around $125-150. Against the value of the lenses, it's a solid investment. I can point you to numerous in LA but...

Need to pass on advice on "personal" camera
Hi gang:
I was asked by a producer I work with regularly to advise his wife on a camera purchase and I just don't keep up with the cameras in this category any more. Would love to hear people's...

Re: The Great Camera Shootout Part 2
Think of it this way: there's always another camera just around the bend. Once something of this magnitude gets scheduled (way in advance), it's not practical to "stop the presses" to wait for an...

Re: F3 with S-Log and Dual Link vs RED

Another factor of course is projection--assuming it will be a 1080 projector, not 4k? It's always better to start with more resolution, but I'll stick to my...

Re: F3 with S-Log and Dual Link vs RED
Consider that you have been watching theatrical features shot on 1080 cameras for 10 years now, and on screens at least 3 times larger than what you are asking about. Very few people can pick out...
