Buy your camera. Get the lens adapter. Go to a good camera rental store. Tell them that you want to try a bunch of lenses to see what accomplishes your goals.
We have a 4.7 Canon lens on our 2/3″ HD camera. Zeiss has a conversion chart for their primes and it goes like this.
(HD) (Academy 35) (Super 16)
5mm = 12.5 mm = 6.4 mm
7 mm = 17.5 mm = 9.0 mm
20 mm = 50 mm = 25.6 mm
70 mm = 175 mm = 89.6 mmYou would have to figure out what your chip size would do but I would start with asking the fine people who make the adapters.

[Todd at Fantastic Plastic] “Your question is a bit like asking “I need to find out what the difference is in a paint brush and a paint roller because I’m planning to copy the Sistine Chapel ceiling.””
My analogy is the guy who wants to set a new “Land World Speed Record” but he only has a Pinto and $187 that he stole from Aunt Minnie’s purse, but, he knows it can be done because Bob said so.

Craig, Did you have a chance to put hands on the EX1? We are interested in getting a few of these and we’re looking forward to testing one soon. I am holding a project back that is perfect fr this camera.
I have spoken out against the HVX200 because of the inability to effectivly store the original files but the BluRay backup makes sense to me.

The following year, 1986, we produced a more vigorous program and a lot of companies asked how their logos could be seen more often. It seems like sporting events are a different breed and have to be separated from other catagories.

With all that has happened, there has to have been a court case that established some sort of guidelines. We produced a video on an off-raod racing event in 1985 and titled the tape The Mint 400. We got a cease and desist letter from the Dell Webb Corporation. Went to see the lawyer and we sat down to watch our 2 hour epic. After 20 minutes, they asked if we slammed them in any way or had any negative content. We replied “No” and they gave us a legal document granting us the rights to use their “Marks”. They also gave us a disclaimer to put on the front of the program. I asked them about the hundreds of logos appearing in the video and their reply was “We can’t control the world. What’s in the public view is in the public view”. Granted, this is only their opinion but this was their top attorney for trademark and copyright infringement, two terms that I had very little knowledge of 22 years ago. Like many others, I considered it free advertising. We now charge for that when possible.

Short is good. I can see what I need to see in 90 seconds or less.
I also like to know what tools a person has experience with, but, a small discrete, text in a corner is all I need, like FCP, Combustion, AE, ProTools. Some put up a slate before starting with Name, Title, and Tools listed.
As for “Overqualified”, I am usually concerned that someone will be bored with 50% of what we actually do. Bored is bad.

And he probably is. Be cautious of taking advice from a news person or an employee of some kind. They have nothing to lose by their actions. Again, think about the difference between things intentionally placed in the public vs. everything else.
News has an entirely different set of rules.

Some people think that you need to block out everything. In the real world, why would you have to?
We see brand names on everything. I have shot several times in Times Square and how could one possibly get an OK from every corporation represented. If something is put out into the public for public display, you have to be reasonable about seeing it in the shot. When a feature film or tv show has a scene in a grocery store, do you think that they have to turn every bottle around? If you have a close up and there is product right next to somone’s face, you’ll want to disguise that a bit but common sense has to prevail somewhere. How many Harley’s have you ever seen in a movie with tape over the brand name.
If your project is not negative or demeaning (porn), why would anyone care?
I am simpy raising issues and questions and by no means am I attempting to give anyone legal advice.
