AJA KONA 3 FOR FILM EDITING ..OR

[Bob Zelin]

Answer – RED (I just want to cause trouble).

Are you that out of touch with new products ?

ps – if you respond “what is the RED camera”, then you are living in a cave, never read Creative Cow, and either have arrived from another planet, or have 11 kids you are raising. If you dare to day “I have a life, I don’t keep up with this stuff” – never post on Creative Cow ever again.

Considering that Thomson Viper is available now,without a wait and a number of major films has been done on them. Zodiac for one.

Hi,
Sorry for trouble I have caused you guys.Let us forget the Cinewave part…Is Kona 3 good enough for a film project on HD?If yes why?What camera is best for a film project on HD?

Thanks in advance.

your questions may be innocent, but I can’t resist these type of comments –

If the Kona 3 isn’t good enough for an HD “film” project, than what is? What are you expecting ? Would you prefer to work with an Autodesk Discreet Inferno ? I am not sure what you are asking here – is the Kona 3 a toy ?

Same for the camera for an HD project question. Exactly what are you asking. If you have ever glanced at any trade magazine, you already know that the Panasonic Varicam, Sony CineAlta, and Thompson/GVG Viper are widely used in the professional motion picture industry. Are you asking “which of these is the best” – are you asking “can I use an HDV camera to make a film” – are you asking “should I wait for the RED camera? So I ask you a question – are you making a professional film – what is your budget, who is sponsoring your film, or is this a student film, on a tiny budget?

Hi,
Its a small film with a tiny budget where we may not be able to afford the cameras u mentioned but we can afford a HD camera which wont be ‘red’…ie any HDV camcorder.
Thanks

Since that discreet product (actually all of the Autodesk hardware including Lustre) runs on the OEM version of the Kona 3, one can hardly call it a toy…
