Thanks bru!

One of the things i DOP'ed and operated on the Russian Arm ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUlbcuy1ao0

Mighty Canon 1200mm.. only a handful of these in existence from what i know.

Might as well.. :) My EPIC Dragon Setup with Cooke 18-100:

I do agree with you on your point that different lights give different looks, but there is no real point to using a 2.5K HMI, if you can get away with a 1.2K or even 575 by just upping your ISO a bit and not loosing on quality as these sensors are so god damn sensitive. It all depends on what...

That first one looks cool, but you've got me envious with that Aaton Penelope..

I agree with most of your points. A Sony FS100 can be had used for the same price. But yes, a Blackmagic Camera and 16mm lenses, or a MFT Blackmagic with MFT lenses could work too! I think he will shoot a lot in front of a white background, but also a few cutaways of the products (Nutritional...

What camera are you shooting? As NickysFX asked. There's a big difference in lighting depending on how sensitive your sensor is and how high you can push your ISO? Shooting C300? You don't need HMI's. Crank the ISO and use high powered LED's or Tungsten lights gelled with CTB! No need for a...

I'm going to keep out of the audio discussion. Other people like Alcove are more qualified, but I think I can help you a lot on the visual/camera aspect. #6) Yes, the Blackmagic looks better when you resize 2K down to 1080 cause you're squeezing all those pixels into a smaller output format...

I hope you don't mind me chipping in here. I am going off your statement that you'll mostly be shooting interviews/videos with loads of talking about nutrition products (Funnily enough, I've shot similar stuff and got a job coming up, but with a lot higher budget, so I am hiring a sound guy)...

RED EPIC - China shoot Motion Control Setup for Music Festival in Belgium Sony F55 with Arri Alura for a camera test I did for a project later this year My new Kessler Pocket Jib. I replaced the Sachtler ACE head with a new Cine 7+7 head a week ago or so

Buy a Mattebox, get some 4x5.65 Schneider Filters. There are tons of filters available, you just have to research. Schneider Sapphire Blue offer a cold indigo blue look, Storm Blue filters add a little gray and green to blue tones to give a 'stormy' look... Schneider Coral Filters warm overcast...

The stupid H4n didn't want to recognise the SD card, so I couldn't record any audio when I shot it. I didn't put a mic on the FS100 so I did not record any sound at all. Everything you hear, except for the car sound is built from the sound library within FCP X. Most of it is just sound effects...

I've been super busy with corporate work over the last few months (Not complaining :) ), so it felt great to get an hour in the evening from like 6-7pm to film some footage with my brother and his awesome Chevrolet Impala to just test out a new plugin I bought for FCP X which is called Film...

Here's my take on it: Camera sensors aren't made to perform at their peak on profiles like CineStyle or flat dialled in profiles. I shoot my FS100 on standard picture profile, just because it gives me the best results in my opinion. I'd say shoot standard, especially if you wanna get that look...
