I mean, in what universe can you not just go online and buy the dang ND filters you need? Perhaps, like Ulysses Everett McGill in “O Brother, Where Art Thou,” he finds himself in the position of “Well ain’t this place just a geographical oddity. Two weeks from everywhere!”

I’m starting to wonder if this guy is just trolling.

You can either have a big, heavy, stable jib, or you can get a small one that won’t be as stable. Or you could listen to what we’ve all told you over and over again, which is this: if you can’t afford the right gear to make the shot you want, then plan the shot around the options you DO have available.

Keyframe the position and scale of your final animation.

By any chance is your phantom power turned on? That can cause problems for wireless receivers.

Or a jib on a dolly. #hellyeah

Your other option might be to process the final video file through Photoshop’s halftone filter.

Yes, it’s theoretically possible, but your original video will have to be enormous. After Effects will be the better choice for this kind of project.

This was probably shot with a trackless studio dolly on a hard concrete floor; a tracked dolly or slider will not get you moves like this. This is possible because most old movies like this were shot on a sound stage, not on location.
You need to plan out what your scene needs, and then rent or buy exactly the right tool. If you don’t have the budget to work that way, then you need to plan your scenes around the tools you have available. Trying to buy something that will take care of all situations just isn’t possible.

If you’re going to use them exclusively with the FS7, and plan to stay with Super-35 Sony in the future, get the APS-C E-mount lenses. If you’d like them to be usable cross-platform, get the full-frame EF versions; EF is becoming a pretty universal standard mount because it’s easily adaptable to a variety of mounts. E-mount is not adaptable to anything. Then you can get a focal reducer for your FS7 and get a little more speed out of the lenses. Quality-wise, I don’t think you’ll see much of a difference (you theoretically might get a little softness on a focal reducer but not enough to notice). In your case, the more pressing question is the adaptability of the system.
