Is is possible to create a beam splitter Infrared setup with FX 3 ?

[Yoshua Gerry Sanjaya]

Hi Guys, I was wondering if it is possible to create a beam splitter rig with FX 3 like Hoyte Van Hoytema did for Ad Astra and Nope ?

I saw the BTS of nope and Ad Astra he's using some sort of infrared camera setup in a beam splitter rig to get the black of the sky and shadow of the image.

'

I wonder if it possible to use this kind of setup with 2 an FX 3. One of those will be modified to be a full spectrum camera so it can capture the infrared footage.

I found a company in german who make a stereoscopic rig for smaller camera.

Any possible issued that you guys see might happen ? I need some research first if I want to convince my producer to convert FX3 to a full spectrum camera.

You can do this setup with any camera that will fit into a beam splitter (which should be pretty much any camera)

 

the trickier part other then all the hardships of shooting with a beam splitter is the post work to composite the images and get the color to work right

You will need two FX3s, one regular and one full spectrum.

I have some stereotec rigs just like above and would be happy to sell one, but it’s huge and heavy

You might need to have genlock between cameras

What about the lenses? Do I have to change the lenses on both cameras each time I change the lens and focus?
