Panasonic AJ-HDC27F

[Maurizio Tiella]

Hi there,

 

I am about to shoot a short movie and, considering budgetary reason, and inspired by the amazing images of "Pornografia" shot by Krsyztof Ptak in 2003, I was going to test HD for the project. The short will be output to 35mm release print.

The rental house in Roma has a Panasonic AJ-HDC27F which has 1280x720 lines against 1920x1080 of a Cinealta. Before I even start to test it for printing to 35mm as the final medium of release, I was wondering if anyone has seen anything blown to 35mm from this camera and if it is worth considering it.

Renting a SONY Cinealta for the 12 days of shooting would instead not be any more convenient than going 35mm all the way through. So It would either be the Panasonic or 35mm.

 

Thank you,

 

Maurizio Tiella

Since Ptak shot "Pornografia" on 35mm film, and you really liked the look, why not use film as well?:

You've already seen the high cost of renting a Sony kit for 12 days. Have you really explored all the ways you can economize on a film shoot? Contact the Roma office of Kodak:

Thank you,

I will keep investigating the matter, and will contact Mr Giordani.

It is though strange that the film end titles in Italy didn't show any 35mm camera equipment nor film stock, but just the Cinealta log, but both imdb.com and the url you included list the film as shot on 35mm. In an encounter with Jan Jakub Kolski right after the movie screening, he spoke of the film being shot entirely on CineAlta. For that reason I was impressed on how beautiful HD looked in that film.
