Re: Lighting a bunker.
Since the walls are covered with so much white material and papers, you'll probably want to limit indiscriminate spill on them. It's nice to have a couple of hot, nearly burned out areas here and...

Re: Operating without a monitor
I like "counsel of perfection", sounds like Jor-El should be the moderator.
In reality very few operators (I can think of none amongst those I know) master operating on both sides. We pick one and...

Re: Technicolor Cinestyle Initial Tests
Here's a question for everyone: I have often found that while these cameras have that "crushed blacks" look to them, the footage will easily open up in color correction to where it "should be"...

Re: NAB 2011, the Great LED Crusade
Hi Ben:
In looking at the photometrics, the output is somewhere between a Diva 200 and 400.
With the softbox added, I'd guess more like a bare Diva 200. So less than you are used to. In a room...

Re: Gemini 444 F3 and S Log
Nate, do you feel like a lot of folks are going to start waving the 4:4:4 flag as the latest flavor of "must have" who ultimately don't really need it? Having gotten used to the concept of 4:2:2 as...

Need HPX500 or equivalent for 1 day rental
I have a webisode shoot and need a 2/3" camera like the HPX500 (Sony's OK). We have money but not full rental retail, so I'm reaching out for private owners who could probably use the cash. It would...

Re: Favorite prime lens?
I don't have favorites--every job has a different look and feel, and every shot has it's "right" lens for the desired composition. I've got a set of six ZE's (from the 21 up) and if I'm shooting...

Exactly so, Chris, and that was the thrust of why I posted to it here on DVI. I do a fair number of jobs where I have the budget to achieve what is needed with comfort; a full contingent of union...

Re: Social Distortion: "Machine Gun Blues"
Budget was far lower than it looks. Like FAR lower. I laughed when I read the treatment and was told how much we had to make it. Lots of favors and sleight of hand. I can tell you that we shot it in...

Re: Is this a wise move?
Just as food for thought: while a lot of indie people seem to be favoring 5600K lighting, in the conventional industry 3200 is alive and well. Both temps are well-represented and options abound--you...

Re: Lighting advice, time to purchase.
A 6x9 greenscreen is small enough that two 4' four bank flos will provide enough coverage (probably, two bank flos would get the job done also). I don't see a need to have to rig one to come in from...
