Thanks for the info on the red with the filters in post.

Im glad you got the matte box thing of your chest…

[John Alexander]

Thanks for that!

Now they have changed and want to shoot with an all white back drop. would FX soft filters (half or 1) give a good effect here, as it not a chroma key. ie to soften the look?? or would you recommend in post?

thanks?

[John Alexander]

Thanks both for your answers!

Its a tough one. i’ve ordered the filters now so the clients will not be too happy if there not used! i’ll have to do a test. capture into final cut and have a look at the result.

With the pro 35 through, my one time using it in a studio environment i noticed it need so much light, i felt like i was over lighting the scene. it looses 1.5 stops through the adaptor i think? and then the HVX 200 panasonic p2 needs allot of light. i was always on f2 more or less?

So your not both not saying its a never do situations with the add on filters? its a personal preference, just be careful and do tests with playback before final shooting?

Thanks again..

Thanks!

yes sorry it would be a Mini35 adapter.

The talent would be 10 meters away (fixed, sitting down) at f2 on a 50mm lenses.

and then 3 meter away at f4 (fixed, sitting down) on a 50mm lense.

would there be enough depth of field??

cheers

Yep sure does, thanks..

but is 1080 25p a better format in visual quality in progressive, than the 720p 25p?

thanks..
