Hi you guys!
I know this is the sort of question newbies like me post out of insecurity all the time, and it's probs the kind of question you guys hate to see up here, but I can't find a better way to figure it out based on my research and I figured I'd bother you guys with this. I'm sorry in advance.
I'm working on a thesis feature film next year, projected 1h45m, and we're getting a BMCC 2.5k as our A-Cam. We'd been pretty set on using ProRes HQ as our go-to format during filming, but we just worked on a short all shot RAW, and like any blind-sided fool who didn't realize how good RAW turned out to be in post, we started to wonder if we'd like to shoot RAW instead for the feature.
The system we'll have to edit has the following specs.
Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-4510U @ 2.00 - 2.600 GHz
RAM - 16 Gb
Graphics Card - GeForce GTX 850M (4 GB)
We're running windows 8.1, and we're planning on using Premiere / AfterEffects > SpeedGrade as our workflow.
For storage, we're hoping to use a RAID0, 3 x 5TB for the primary storage to edit off of, and a JBOD 2x5TB as backup storage. Adding more space to either storage system is a definite possibility.
Do you think our humble unit will be able to pull off doing the entire feature shooting RAW or should we stay realistic and shoot ProsRes HQ, using RAW only in select scenes (low-light, vfx, etc)?
