Thank you. I actually like your answer. Indeed, good cinematography from a learned person and the right techniques are so important to get great images with almost any camera.

We live and we learn. Thanks for these insights. They indeed shed some light (no pun intended) into my understanding (limited) of ISO.

The Blackmagic Production Camera 4K and Ursa Mini 4K both have a maximum ISO of 800. Can either of these cameras make a good feature film? When I say 'good' I am not referring to the story of the film etc. but I am referring to the images. It is a pity that 800 is the maximum ISO on these two...

Do you know of any theatrically released feature film(s) that used the below Rokinon Cine lenses? http://www.rokinon.com/lenses/cine-ds-lenses Also, regarding the swivel type lens hood that says 'Rokinon', is this detachable from the lens?

Thanks jax_rox. This is understandable. Can you recommend any further reading in terms of a chart that shows anamorphic lens ratios matched to a sensor and the resultant aspect ratio? Something like the below: 1.3x => 16:9 => 2.39:1 2x => 4:3 => 2.39:1 2x =>4:3 => 3.55:1 etc.

Thanks for the reply and the link. Interesting video. However I have read elsewhere that 1.3x or 1.33x (I think) is the recommended anamorphic ratio for an intended 2.39:1 aspect ratio, however you have said that 1.3x gives less an effect. 2x ratio gives a much wider (greater than 2.39:1 aspect...

Let us consider an 18mm wide angle lens (spherical) and a 35mm anamorphic lens with a 1.3x squeeze ratio. I understand the principle of the anamorphic lens, in that it squeezes the image onto the sensor horizontally and one can desqueeze the image in post, resulting in a wide image. I also note...

Thanks for your reply! I think it was myself, in that, I misheard the word 'ways' for 'waste'. Appreciated!

Please have a look and listen to the below clip especially from position 2:42. Can you figure out what the speaker has said? It sounded like he said one of the below: The phrase: "Less ways to hide" or "Less waste to hide" After listening to what he said please comment on what you think he...

Wow jax_rox, I have learnt a lot from this; thank you!. It is good when a pair of experienced eyes can offer their input, so others can learn. In terms of bit-rate and compression, I assume these are unique to a camera and cannot be adjusted and therefore they are fixed values? Hence, the only...

Good perspective you gave there Sweetie, thanks!

Thanks FilmmakerJ! Glad you see what I see also, in that, it just doesn't look right as it is. Good points to note which you raised.

Please have a look at the first 5 seconds of the below video in full 1080p HD repeatedly. Regarding that 1st five seconds with the character walking, I have taken that clip and using After Effects, did different color correction applications and film grain application etc. and still cannot seem...

Interesting breakdown there. Yes, anologue into digital have really come a long way.

Nice to know. Good examples. Also to clarify, I said 'digital' in my thread's title but I meant any sampler digital or analogue that was connected and played through DAW software and composed in the DAW software.

Interesting, yes you are correct. The Wikipedia page on the film also says so!

Hello and congrats on your graduation! I wish you a very great career ahead - don't be discouraged by any bumps along the way as we all have ups and downs. I am curious to know about here in the UK, do you think newly graduated actors offer their services for free as well so they can gain...

When I say digital score I mean an orchestral score that was created for music for the entire film (i.e. where music is required), using VST orchestral instruments etc. e.g. the EastWest Symphonic orchestra.

So I searched here first for a discussion about this and found none similar. Do you know of any famous film(s) that had its entire score created by computer music (i.e. DAW and virtual instruments/plugins)? Therefore the score was the final music composed in and rendered in the DAW and used in...
