Wouldn't worry about the noise either. Plenty of time to adjust SNR before release date. I've got a prototype of a certain yet-to-be-released large sensor camera right now in my hands and it was explicitly stated not to bother shooting above a certain ISO or in certain circumstances because...

Just got a confirmation directly from John that all footage was CinemaDNG. So, ideally, whatever happened there will be sorted, or is explainable otherwise.

Caught a glimpse of the shot too. Curiously, it also doesn't look like it's the 2.5K cinemaDNG. It may or may not be, but it would make sense that it isn't the full range from the camera if it's ProRes. That may be the culprit, or just early camera image development. We went through similar...

I made half of a short before jumping into a feature. Which is true, but misleading at the same time: I worked on SEVERAL shorts and commercials in a key position, under the director, learned a ton over the span of a handful'a years, then stepped into a feature blindly. The point: it's...

Yeah, you had me confused for a bit there. haha. for LOG ProRes or DNxHD, yes, then it becomes important. CinemaDNG, it shouldn't make any difference. However, I did forget that a lot of people would be shooting ProRes with a lut applied, etc, so yeah it does make a difference how the...

It does look to drop images of a coked-out-GH2 nature, to my eyes as well. Or, it looks really similar to actual S16, just cleaner stock. What you might be seeing is color depth, or the actual real resolution being put to screen without aliasing, over-sharpening, etc. Resolution is definitely...

It's less about comparing it to Alexa, and more about where a company designs the camera to fit. BMD's mission statement is very very clear, you can kind of gauge that by who their beta tester(s) were, and it wasn't the usual no-budget heros. ISO isn't that important, or even useful when...

While I would've termed it a bit more friendly, I do agree with you. The sensor size thing is pretty interesting to read. The same people who say, in a nut shell, that you don't need this and that just a good story are the same ones that refuse to use anything less than Full Frame or APS-C...

I was going to write a long explanation but I'll just sum it up: none of these major companies care about this. BMD isn't taking money out of their pockets. The people who want or actually need this will buy it and already probably own a Canon or Panasonic or Sony camera. LIke Canon doesn't...

I think I've said it before, but I am a major fan of your posts, Paul. Resounding hell yeah to this.

For those that aren't familiar with it, here is a very quick, but barely surface scratching example of what raw is about. Epic 5K screen caps, me quickly illustrating in about 3 minutes : original bad a little better No Colorist = detrimental. John did his best, but he openly...

1.2 HMI + 216 in an underlit room. That's the ONLY light in that room, being chopped to hell by 216 and probably far back. The other side is bounce and there's neg. This situation isn't enough to bring up room level to broad daylight, that window would be gone on anything with less than 10...

http://johnbrawley.wordpress.com/2012/04/19/another-blackmagic-clip/ Another clip... ...for me, it's officially a coked-out GH2. Everything down to the rendering of motion is right... and that back window, that's stuff you only see in 15K+ cameras.

Good info, Paul. Wish I could be there! Just glad I got into the preorder line before it opened up.

Black Magic Design doesn't do test prototypes, and they are not a beta company. I expect the next iteration to be double the price with scarlet like specs, and it will still be incredible.

It's not global.

I also stand corrected, though.. It's closer to M4/3 than S16 by far. Which is good.

EF mount intially.

Echoing this experience. We casted three or four months in advance and didn't have any issue keeping actors interested and involved. Especially the two leads. In fact, we're doing reshoots and pickups to finish up... and we started in october 2012. Only had one issue from one actor out of a...
