Yes; on a given film, someone who knows how to use the gear (and brings higher quality gear of their own) is worth their weight in gold. If you're to buy to learn, the NTG-2 is not exactly expensive at ~$230 on Ebay. Its a quality mic, and if you're going to spend money on equipment - make it...

Interesting solution. I hear the ART has a high noise floor; how do you find it?

:) Well I wanted to say I thought it was ridiculous that VK banned you. If he wanted to have a forum for ideas, kicking someone who had really good ideas off the site was probably not an ideal course of action(!) Though, I think he had to carry the government line; he would be considered a...

Al - I agree. Huge fan of working within the limitations of tech at hand (as opposed to the money hose) & wrath is more so intended for the ubiquitous h4n (shiver while typing) They do perform differently - with the 100m2 you have significantly lower noise floor/higher gain/more headroom &...

Were you on PV?

Here's a cool way to slam dunk a scene: do a technical on-location rehearsal, apart from the dramatic rehearsal. Thus, you shoot the scene in advance with non actors, testing out every technical factor (light combos, mic positions, focal lengths, exposure, cam motions) to ensure that the real...

Yes; it will be slightly more resolved, and in this case be free of aliasing (but not color moire). If you crop a 1920x1080 from the 2.5k output, that will be identical to the Pocket

Oh, ok. So by 2k you are literally referring to 2048 lines across. My Bad. As far as image, it is the exact same as if you cropped the 2.5k output of the BMCC to 1920x1080.

The BMPCC is 2k

lol For yall, here is a relevant anecdote I shared via PM recently: "At my work now (film & graphics for a radio show), we recently asked for resumes to fill two positions: an IT/web position, and a videographer position. In response to the IT posting, we received one (1) person's resume, whom...

As AcousticAl notes, those recorders - while most common - are incredibad. If you want the best, you might do: NTG-3 into SD MM-1 into Sony PCM-D10 line in To do decent, you might run that NTG-2 into something like, say, this. Don't forget - you'll want a hyper for indoors, and good mic...

The relevant model today is to do it for fun

the classic 720p of the lower end Canon's (for slo mo) The slo mo is unusable for narratives; another cam (like the GH2/3) is ideal for slo mo'ers (like me)

Saw this covered in another thread - at the price, you can't really beat this. Same exact imaging system as in any other standard issue Canon

Fwiw... coding apps can be somewhat... involved Not many can do it; Been get into it lately as a (sigh) supplemental source of revenue for my indie moviemaking habit

++ @ rawfooty Do you have access to a free camera? (iphone, galaxy) If so, use that first. You'll need to rig a thingy to get the phone on a tripod, but those top end phones do have legitimate video If you must invest a chunk of change on a camera, make it count. T5i and ilk have decrepit...

I love Children of Men - and by extension, Gravity (what happens when that same team is no longer tethered to a physical real world camera) That [Gravity] has to be a first for relativistic camera work
