Which one? ;)

Its quite the surprise. It always is that the personalities which go on to do substantial things with the camera eschew hacking and are irreverent towards the tech. & the obsessives hit every nail but shoot little. Perhaps if the two could meet somewhere in the middle.

Thing is - Shane & team didn't hack it & they really should've

Time for irony - I hate adobe too! For the aforementioned pricing model that makes it so appealing for those without budget. Until they address this, one cannot condone their product. Technically? Yes, it is a tour de force & I've used them all (no doubt thats what they are counting on) Random...

You can give Premiere CC a shot for free - and when it comes time to edit, you can have it for a month to edit your film at a cost of $20. It really is a revelation on most hardware

It was through Facebook; Originally wanted to know how things were going with the editing this time, because he said that the editing of Primer nearly did him in. Said he went with FCP6, much to my surprise (!)

++ Indeed On the matter of UC, I spoke to Shane, and tried to figure out why he did the grade the way he did, in advance of release. Wanted him to consider going less green, the camera's inherent fault

Really - since we are using the particular phrase 'good enough' - dslrs and quite a few cameras can be good enough. Say we were to use 'match for' - then it could be said the Alexa does not qualify (as a match for film). Say the phrase is 'very close to' - then the list of dslrs and cameras...

Yes - you can use it on your canon with the above pictured adapter. As 8sal notes, you can also opt for sigma to switch out the mount when needed. *I should mention - the speedbooster mount is incredible - both flange and aperture ring (professional quality). The cheap flange adapters are less...

Good points Noam. I'll throw in: - at least 1k of detail (and, imo, no more than 2k) - diffusion through the layers for film crystal/vertical gate softening which leads to a resolved, yet soft/smooth texture - highlight/shadow s-log roll off in the camera's DR, which results in an orange 'halo'...

Nikon lenses can be changed manually, Canon cannot. Nikon lenses can be used on the most cameras; and in the case of current available hardware, the speedbooster/sigma/bmpcc combo is a "no-brainer" when it comes to low cost production in indie narrative. Future cameras that will be best geared...

That was a fun show

Sigma Nikon 18-35 + Nikon Speedbooster + BMPCC That's the way to go. Absolutely Don't throw good money after bad

I thought it was quite good. On the chase scene - plan it out ahead of the shoot and see what you can't accomplish. I bet you can do a great scene if you set your mind to it.

Right there with you on those movies - - and I love (own) Cube... (consider Vincenzo's other films too; Splice, Cypher)

XD ~ Low budget method: Try a partial or complete saturation reduction, followed by a color grade toward the blue. Don't over do it, just a subtle bit will do. This is what I was testing here: https://vimeo.com/8547165 password: blue & used at the start here: https://vimeo.com/13871484 If...

Actually - it may be just the opposite. True geniuses of filmmaking often get into film because they desperately need to communicate using a medium that is time delayed. They are horrible 'in the moment' and cannot take part in the social joys, so film is their way to connect. Thats not to say...

One thought - you could use a Countryman B3 and portable recorder to lav the actor on screen; not nearly as good sound quality as actual mics, but it will save you from Adr and its low profile. (The well placed lav can really pull the voice completely from the background, even more so than a...

Well that keeps it simple. Its an all adr shoot - make sure to record the sound somehow as a reference to the original performances. Adr will be difficult... one of the most imperfect parts of the process that filmmakers do almost anything to avoid. One plus is that the audio can be technically...
