It shoots Motion JPEGs which is a bigger format than H.264, plus the frame size is 4096×2160 so probably 4x bigger.

Well the Mark III is a 1080p camera, unless you install MagicLantern then you can shoot actual RAW CinemaDNG. Also there is a version that shoots 4K cropped.

The Mark 4 is an excellent camera that shoots 4K cropped. So your lenses will have an increased apparent FOV. It’s a good camera. Also take a look at the BlackMagic Ursa Mini Pro 4.6K

Makes shooting on film still advantageous as it is archivable. I’m not making that argument, but since the shift to purely digital acquisition, archiving has become a nightmare as there is no standard.

I can always rescan 35mm to 1080, 4K, 6K, 8k, 12K? But if I shoot 4K and 12K becomes standard, there is no future proof…

I’ve been working on and designing a slider bundle for three years. It’s about to see the light of day after various stages of development and manufacturing. It will be considerably more than the one you posted, but you will be able to use mine for almost every possibility you can think– on and off the track. It is also 100% made here in the U.S.A.

I do it with my EF-70-200. It just takes practice, because the throw or travel distance on a still lens is much shorter than a cine lens.

Good luck!

The easiest way to follow an actor and keep them in focus is to pull focus. I have a baseplate for my 5DMKIII that I attach a follow focus unit. I have geared all my Canon EF lenses. You turn the dial on the follow focus and it turns the lens. It’s better to have a focus puller/ 1st A.C. doing this for you.

Otherwise the constrains of the depth of field of the lens will limit your creativity and your shot.

Take your time when shooting, adjusting the composition. You have a limited number of frames when shooting film per roll and it costs money to develop and print.

I have always used Canons and still have my collection of AE-1 Program, A-1, F-1n, and EOS 1V-HS. Learn to use a light meter.

Have fun.

I guess the difference come to tools. We use Fricker free lights in Hollywood. I’ve shot tons of footage and haven’t encountered flicker. But again, right tool for the job. Sure even shooting with Panavision 35mm cameras and a bad blast we’ve gotten flicker but that was due to faulty equipment.

I don’t shoot under household fluorescents. I’ve shot at 1/60 and I don’t like the motion blur. It’s personal taste.

I work with in the norms of narrative in Hollywood.

I won’t beat a dead horse. Never experienced flicker. It might be the lighting units you use.

“The 180° Shutter Rule

The 180-degree rule is a standard in the film industry, and it explains the relationship between shutter speed and frame rate when recording motion in video. To mimic motion the same way the human eye experiences it in real life, the 180-degree rule states that shutter speed should be set to double your frame rate. When you hear people talk about “cinematic shutter speeds” they are referring to this standard where shutter speed is set at double frame rate, or as close as is possible. (Most DSLR’s have the option to shoot at 1/50th but not 1/48th, so if shooting 24 fps, set shutter speed to 1/50th).

The 180° rule can be broken to emulate a specific film era, or used to make video purposefully shaky, or outright jarring. The wider the shutter angle, from 270° up to 360° the more motion blur, and the narrower the shutter angle, (less than 180°), the less motion blur is perceived from one frame to the next.

Since most digital cameras have a curtain shutter and not the film style rotary shutter, a 180° shutter angle equates to shooting with a shutter speed that’s twice that of your frame rate, or technically, 1/[2xfps]. In digital terms, shutter angle is the camera’s shutter speed relative to the frame rate. On DSLRs and other digital cameras, common 180° shutter angles include 1/50th of a second at 24 fps, or 1/60th of a second at 30 fps.

Remember, a fast shutter speed will produce a darker picture with little to no motion blur (depending on the speed of the subject), while a slow shutter speed will produce a lighter image with more pronounced motion blur. ”

I don’t know what you shoot but in Los Angeles when we use Canon Dslr cameras for features adn TV the shutter speed is set to 1/50. If you want a video look and 30p shoot 1/60.

This is how it’s done to emulate a180 degree shutter. 1/50 is 178 degrees. It’s as close to 180 degrees and 1/48 as you can get.
