I'm about 6 weeks out from production on my next film, a short, about 12 to 15 minutes in length. The entire film is set inside a dimly lit fallout/bomb shelter, so we'll be using candles and dim light bulbs (practicals) as most of the lighting with some key light thrown on the talent. Our original plan had been to shoot on a Red, but both my producer and cinematographer have either experienced personally or heard the horror stories about the workflow. The difficulty in finding an editor who can handle the files, problems with conversion codecs, etc... So they are both strongly discouraging me from shooting on it. Option #2 would be one of the varicam models, maybe the HPX2700. The upside is the known workflow (DVCHD Pro to P2), the downside is they are harder to find for rental and in some cases are more expensive to rent than a Red. Option #3 would be shooting on the same HVX200A we shot on last time. The upside, it's free saving me over $500 in budget, known workflow (DVCHD Pro to P2). The downside, with the redrock it's probably really going to struggle in those low light situations. Anybody know a good option #4?
