Paul Bartok Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I'm shooting a low budget short film and I think we can only afford DSLR's but the director wants to finish to DCP 1.85:1 The project will be most likely be shot on the Canon 6D's any one have experience with Canon 6D or similar projected at 1998x1080 which is something like a 4% upscale, but we are talking about H.264 files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oron Cohen Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 The footage from the 6D will look a bit soft and the colour will be a bit washed out, and black usually wouldn't look black enough etc. I'm not sure where you located, but do yourself a favour and try to push for a normal cine camera. For ultra low budget, you could probably get a good deal now days on a RED Scarlet. They are not so popular with the rental houses as oppose to C300/Epic/Alexa etc, so if you're renting for 4 weeks it will make it easier on the rental house to give you a good deal. Try to remind the director that for an extra 2000$ he/she will have a much better footage to work with. Usually they get convinced at the end. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
