He may be gone but his soul and vision will live on forever preserved in all his films.
I personally find my generation been blessed with great master storytellers and visionaries.
Something to write and tell the grandkids about one day.
May he rest in peace.

Yeah,
It’s called hire a qualified DIT or video controller along with the necessary gear (ie paintbox and HDSDI waveform monitor) and you are all set to do it the proper way.
Even if you cannot afford to hire the talent then at least rent a portable HDSDI waveform monitor and mount that to your jib or crane for exposure decisions.

The all work for some but not for all.
Your best bet is to rent them and try before you buy.
Your specific needs and requirements are unique to you and not others.
On that note I recommend the fRed camera it does everything and anything, is real cheap and will change your life overnight.

Hey Lil Bobby,
You must comply with the broadcasters standards and deliverables and not make up your own which will suit your budgetary needs.
Call or write for the specific deliverable spec’s from the station or broadcast outlet.
Seek out a facility where you can dub the material to the necessary tape format for delivery.
Who said HD was going to be cheap?
Oh yeah some brainwashed producer who believed all the marketing hype and BS.

I think Walter has unofficially become the beta test project for FT on the new Intel Mac’s.
Walter have you considered going straight back to your “older” more reliable system which worked and allowed you to create a solid “workflow” without losing time,money and manpower?
I personally would never upgrade any project to a new workflow unless it had been tested and proven to work in advance of a “real world” deadline.
What drove you to switch over to the new Intel’s in the first place besides all the marketing hype of how much faster they claim to be?
Sometimes less is more when a pending deadline is looming.

If dvcam is ok for you and you need 24P then consider the dsr -450 camcorder which is the replacement for the 570.
It can do 16×9 or 4×3, 24P as well as 60i.
It will only record dvcam.

You will need to use and external laptop or computer to do the capture. With software programmed to determine when to shoot and how many frames to capture.
The camera will only be used as the image capture.
FYI for long term shooting you have to avoid touching the camera itself to avoid change the perspective etc.
Do a search in the digital photography forum or on the internet for timelapse with an external computer setup.
Good luck,

Yes sadly it is true that you need to secure the proper rights to videotape a copyrighted play or performance.
However who is going to go after you if you are small potatoes in a french fry town. Stay below the radar and fly low.

Siew the majority of DSLR and even compact digital still cameras exceed the spacial resolution of HD crapcorders I mean camcorders.
Time lapse is nothing more than a series of still images played back as a movie.
So yes indeed a dlsr would be an ideal way to go.
The issues to deal with are the proper environmental housing and power source for a longer project.

You need not go any deeper than look at what has happened with the older series of Panasonic camera models (ie SDX-900) and the reduction in pricing prior to the release of a newer model HDX-900.
Time, newer technology and supply and demand are all linked to price reductions or increases.
If you need it now and can benefit from the savings then buy it.
