    cinematography SLR Films

    Scarlett will be far from 'Cheap' It will cost $16,000-$22,000 once you buy all the parts. OP: The video was a bad example, it's focus way all over the place, and its DOF was way too shallow. DSLRs are the cheapest solution to getting that shallow DOF. They arn't ready for mainstream film...

    As mike said, this cracks me up as well. I'd rather shoot Genesis then RED.

    archived-videos CARDIO - Short film shot on 7D.

    I enjoyed the film. The story, acting, dialouge was all key for the success of this film. I didn't enjoy the cinematography too much, nor the lighting which seemed all natural to me. I wish it was much cleaner, because it would have been a home run for me.

    cinematography Feels like a Film

    I think what the OP was seeing was the difference in DOF. With a 35mm Camera, even though it's digital, is shooting through 35mm lenses. This will give a sharp image with soft foreground/background. Besides that, Will nailed it. Lighting, cinematography, SOUND, framing, etc.

    Is this a good price for a EX-3 package?

    Yes, a very good one at that. $7,000 is the going rate for a Used EX3, in good condition. If it was handled by pros, then it seems like a great deal, just make sure its in good shape.

    I have mixed emotions. I think the Cinematography, the acting, the lighting, the sound, is all very well done. The trailer and title sequences are also very well done. I just didn't get anything out of that trailer besides it's a murder/mystery drama. It didn't bring anything new to the table...

    cinematography TOO high quality of a picture?

    Did you shoot with a 35mm adapter? That usually adds a lot of grain.

    Just a simple question...

    Having great quality in Everything but camera is a hard pill to swallow.... Why would your production not have the means to a quality camera but everything else? Usually quality = Money because Money = Time, time to find a great talented crew, time to plan and perfect, to get quality...

    cinematography TOO high quality of a picture?

    We already have 2+ years ago. RED One Shoots 2K & 4K res (4520 X 2540 pixels) And RED's new Epic will shoot 5K-8K and is said to shoot up to 28K res (28X the res of 1080p)

    cinematography TOO high quality of a picture?

    I know a lot of people who add grain to 1080 and 2k/4k images to give it a more filmy look. Yes, it can be too high, and You'll probably see a hault in image res in the future. High Res can make the picture look un-organic and fake.

    Never even heard of it. But looks like it will possibly take over the DVX standard.
