    Correct, the shots required should be of busy hours, with lots of people. So lots of wide shots. To light things properly i would need big light setup I feel.

    See the photo attached, there is a lot of daylight shinning in. But I am worried about the evening shots for the
    white balance.

    thank you for the advice, Actually the owners of the mall commissioned us to do the filming, but we can not set up lights we heard later….

    besides, the place is so big that I would have to fill up the place with JOKER lights or similar lights as many shots will be wide angle shots. Wisj I could bring in the light sets though. Im stuck trying to plan this.

    We did reside on the Sony A7sii with an external ninja to film in proress.
    color correction we will do in davinci.

    Still, any more advice will really be appreciated…

    yes, we have an EF speedbooster, so we will be using the 24 – 70 canon 2.8 lens for all shots.

    We actually have the sony a7 sii

    And we will use the ninja to film at 1080p in proress. 24 fps , shutterspeed 45 and aperture at 2.8. We found that
    iso at around 5000 does the nightshoots.

    we do color correction in Davinci resolve.

    But its a new cam for us and will be the first time shooting with it, so any suggestions are very welcome.

    I agree, get the MASTER as I call it, uncompressed (that is not RAW), will be big file though.

    Then you make the conversions, later in time you can always go back to the MASTER and make more conversions when you need them.

    By the way, if its filmed already, it is basically done, you can not decide if you want RAW any more, it is filmed….

    Just ask her the footage that came out of the camera, the original. Then you have the best source. If you editing can not
    handle that, make the conversions yourself.

    I prefer editing uncompressed, the highest quality available.

  • if the question is what is better then there is a big discussion because people have different perceptions of BETTER.

    But if you want to know what looks more like film then its 24p, because most films in the cinema theaters are shot like that, now if you want to have that same feel (with all its short comings).

    and if you use the same conversion technique (as a 24p feature movie does) to convert to NTSC your frame feel will be close to the cinema movie shown on TV.

    So its in my opinion not what is the best for TV, or which has more flaws, if u want to have the same look as the feature movie it makes sense to me to film at the same frame rate and use the same conversion technique.

    By the way, this is just my humble opinion, please don’t burn me…..

  • Well, use it for cameras that can not rec in proress or raw or formats like that.

    As soon a a camera records H264, I use my ninja blade. That would almost cover all DSLRs as well as gh4 and sony a7.

    Personally I dont use it with red, red can film raw and proxies at the same time, I dont use it with BM and I dont use it with ARRI.

    Well I do have a blue ray player in my Asus labtop, how ever I dont have any blue ray movies….

    I do have some HDMOV files, some one gave them to me some years ago, but somehow neither davinci nor AE nor media encoder will open them…

    Would HD trailers from youtube be to deteriorated?

    There seems to be no clips in the end, still there is a whole black piece rendering every time.

    I know I can put outpoint at delivery, but there should be a better way in the edit page….?
