Delorme Jean-Marie Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 hi all i wanted to share a camera test a saw yesterday at an AFC conference in Paris. The panavision team in Paris did 3 days ago a test shoot, an exterior/night in paris, a bridge on the Seine river and a cross road at the opera (with a bus, cars and traffic lights, under sodium vapors). the test was done with an optimisation of gain, shutter and no additional light. it's been graded on a luster incinarator and projected on a Kinothon 2K on a 21ft screen. the result is crisp, no noise you can even see a plane light verry far away. this is an extreme test that goes in the direction of the "apocalypto" scene of the tribe around the fire in the forest.

Francesco Bonomo Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I'd love to see the test footage, but even if he posted anything, it'd be quite hard to tell from the compressed video file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delorme Jean-Marie Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 yes it make sens to whatch this test on a digital or regular projection or both. the size of the screen is important when it comes to digital projection. the test had the look of a crisp 50D neg stock ! but for night and with practical lighting !!

Francesco Bonomo Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Jean-Marie, can you comment on the kind of subjects shot for the test and the camera settings? the thing I like the least about some of the Genesis footage seen to this day has been the obvious "video" motion smear when the shutter was set at >180°.

The genesis can have this video look when you open the shutter for an additional stop or a motion blur effect, like in "apocalypto" ext/day in the rain forest, the chase scene with the pig. This isn't the case in test i saw, they had to stop the lens down a bit because the lights on the bridge were to hot ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Satsuki Murashige Posted March 19, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted March 19, 2007 the test was done with an optimisation of gain, shutter and no additional light. Hi, thanks for posting this. I have a few questions about the test: What was the shutter set at, 180? What lenses were used and at what stop? Did they happen to mention what the gain settings were? Were there any motion blur artifacts if the shutter was not set at 180? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delorme Jean-Marie Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 hi on both tests the cam was steady test 1 : from the middle of a bridge, the seine river with flyboats and a bridge enlighted they told me they had to stop down the lens a bit test 2 : nearby "the louvre" aera on the opera district (downtowne), camera is fix and buses and cars are passing by. i don't know enougth about the conditions of this test but i'm doing a camera prep next week at panavision i'll ask them more questions about the test and a still or two.
