Thank you! I missed your post:blush:

Thank you all for your advice. I think I will go RAW. On a related note, should I shoot it in black and white or in colors then desaturate in post?

Hi all, this is my first attempt shooting a short with ML RAW video on 5D Mark3. It will be in black and white with professional sound recording on set, and I have one nagging question: Should I shoot it with ML Raw video? Production is in a month and I just install ML on my camera. At first...

Thank you Lucky and AD. The two lenses (24-70 and 70-200) will cost me over 2 grand, that's a bit more than I budget for but it makes sense to have all focal lengths cover in two lenses. I might go with Blackmagic camera instead of 5D3 to save me 1 grand for other stuff. Need to do more reading...

Thank you for the tips, AD! If I ultimately have to live with two lenses for this project, what would you recommend? I read up all the lenses mentioned in this thread and really like the Sigma 35mm. If I get that the Tamron 24-70 will overlap. I really like wide angle shots and closeups (and...

Thank you all! So this is what I'm looking at: Canon 5D3 $2999 Sigma 50mm F1.4 $399 Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8L $1299 Samyang 14mm $359 Glidecam HD2000 $494 Zoom H4n $270 It comes right under 6K as I budgeted. Please give some opinions! All my choices for lenses are from different makers, would...

As far as lenses go, I'm looking at: Cannon EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro Lens $269 Canon EF EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS $649 Cannon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Lens $839 Samyang 14mm T3.1 Cine Lens for Canon EF-Mount $419

I work with 6K, including the camera. I have some low budget lighting kit, worked well for me so far, a great fluidhead tripod, a RODE shotgun mic and lav mic. I'm looking to purchase Zoom H4n or equivalent, and boom pole. I do believe the glass are just as or more important than the camera...

What would be equivalent to my list? Pricing is important factor. Thanks.

AH! Thank you! I'm glad I asked the expert.

Thank you! I'm not an expert on lenses but I do know the difference between prime and zoom lenses. And I know I can get by with one type instead of both. But I do want to have both. These are the lenses I'm looking at: EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro Lens $269 Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Zoom...

Lenses for 5D3 Thank you all for your posts! After all the readings and reflections on what I really want to do for the next 3-5 years I think the 5D3 will be right for me for the time being. I like its look and it's the right price. Now I have to select lenses and would like to have at least...

So I should never use shotgun mic for indoor?

No one has any suggestion? I thought every independent filmmaker has looked into this camera, lol. Guess I'm wrong.

I stil have those mic but rented the zoom.

You might have missed my answer to your question: I used RODE NTG1 and a lav mic Sennheiser ew100 g2, in two different recording sessions. The boom guy supposed to be a professional. The Rode provided very low volume and echo-y in enclosed space like the bathroom. The lav mic picked up a lot of...

Please give me a list of equipments that would produce acceptable sounds from professional view. Of course I have no budget but if it's reasonable I could set a goal. Thanks.

The recorder and the mic you mentioned are way out of my range. But if I know for sure I will capture fantastic sound I would sell my left arm:)

I used RODE NTG1 and a lav mic Sennheiser ew100 g2, in two different recording sessions. The boom guy supposed to be a professional. The Rode provided very low volume and echo-y in enclosed space like the bathroom. The lav mic picked up a lot of noise from body movements.

I tried the Zoom H4n for the first time and wasn't impressed. Anything comparable in this price range, or even a step up that won't break the bank?
