Great to hear.

So basically I could se the HMI to light the actors and their table in the night rest and use warmer lights to light up the backgrounds and create a warm background ambiance.

In post I will collor correct focussing on the faces.

Would love to get some more feedback on what you think of going about this in this way?

[Ali Quintana]

Thank you, very interesting, but I dont think I will try vasoline.

What about trying lens blur in post? any Idea?

[Ali Quintana]

Thanks for the reply. Yes I do know about the depth of field etc etc.

and that DOP knows I know that, so he was refering to something else.

I think the soft focus. I do not want to try vasoline….. just
dont feel like trying that on my lenses.

What about post? any Idea?

[Ali Quintana]

What about the Mac Labtop screne through the thunderbold connection?

Could that be used as a good field monitor?

[Ali Quintana]

Thanks for all the tips.

Will the ND filters work good combined with Circular Polorising filters?

Using both together in the Mattbox (so not the vari Duo?

Also can with the heavy ND the color of the blacks being brown can that be fixed in post color correction instead of buying an aditional
Schneider IR CUT 680.

[Ali Quintana]

Thank you for the good tips.

Would it make sence to wait for full moon?

Is the night sky being black (as you explain) a bad thing?

[Ali Quintana]

I would like to shoot at 23.97, at 180 shutter angle.

later in post to be
converted for NTSC to 29.97 for TV.

But basically I am open for other framerates.

[Ali Quintana]

Thank you, how ever I am in Curacao (Dutch Caribbean) so returning would not be an option… Shipping will be to hifgh and I would have alreay paid import duties and taxes.

Was hoping some one had tried it.

Ort any other suggestions in this price range?

[Ali Quintana]

Yes, when properly lit and exoposed definitly.

I cant wait till the RAW update for the 4k will be released. That will be the bomb for that price. and then the 2.5K will be a nice B cam…. I guess.

I also feel that the prores 4K is really fantastic. I was not doubting. Just I do love the RAW so much.

[Ali Quintana]

Hi Sumesh, I wanted the 4K, but it was taking tooo long for the release so I settled for the 2.5 K.

I am very happy with it. Will upload my first commercial shoot next week or so. Even with cheaper EF lenses you get amazing footage if you film raw and its very filmic.

One thing, I believe if you are planning to shoot RAW this is awesome cam. If you just going to shoot proress then I would just get a proress cam, For me its all in the RAW.

I bought the camera and two ssd cards, borrowed some lenses, did my first commercial shoot like that.

You will need to spend some good time on post though.
