IWYM - A few frame grabs

[Stuart Brereton]

Just finished a low budget movie, with a director I like working with a lot. It was my first movie in a while shooting with Sony F55s, and I was reminded just how much I like the pictures from them. Great cameras, easy to use. Here's a few stills from dailies.

Looks great.. Tyler et el.. please give these frame grabs a look.. yes the f55 can look very nice.. in the hands of those who know the camera and post workflow.. and have the talent to make it shine..and haven't spent millions in post.. that other myth.. I think we can put that one to bed..

I still want to know what it is called. And who the girl is in the first pic.

 

But mostly, I would like to know if the general audience can catch any differences in image quality between the F55 and the Ursa Mini Pro. I think it may have been Tyler who couldn't get usable images out of Sony cameras. I hate Sony so I didn't look into it further.

They look fine, but I don't shoot this way. This is pretty much the only type of cinematography where the Sony's shine. Quite a few of the shows from the UK I've seen using the F55, have a similar style of cinematography.

[Stuart Brereton]

We actually considered shooting with Ursa Mini Pros, but in the end I managed to get an F55 package at a price that worked for us. I don't know how the two systems compare against each other. I find the Sony cameras very straightforward in Cine EI mode, and have gradually developed my own LUTs for them over the course of the 6 movies I've shot with them.

Interesting comment. Perhaps I should point out that the movie is not all low key and moody.

 

 

 

[Justin Hayward]

Very nice...

[Samuel Berger]

So who's the Brooke Shields lookalike?

[Rudy Velez Jr]

Naaa its the more natural style you light. Its a good look for sure.

[Mark Kenfield]

Looks great (as always) Stuart. You hide the budget beautifully!

[Justin Hayward]

I really like the compositions.

[Stuart Brereton]

Thank you guys. The budget was small, and the schedule was crazy, but I think we got some good stuff. I'm looking forward to color-timing it, even though most of the look was achieved in camera. It's always nice to give it that final polish.

[Samuel Berger]

I think I saw you there somewhere.

 

[Stuart Brereton]

That is indeed me in the check shirt. We shot a couple of days at a high school in Simi Valley, and some of their students interned for us.

[Miguel Angel]

I hope Phil doesn't watch the video because he will believe that it is not real.. so many c-stands!!!! :D :D :D

[Samuel Berger]

What's that Worrall-like geared head?

[Stuart Brereton]

It's a Mitchell geared head. We also had a Mini Worrall

[Gregg MacPherson]

Stuart, I really enjoyed your frames, the light.

 

Miguel, that joke goes further, Phil found some or bought some and has seen the like I think, like some repentant sinner......

[Samuel Berger]

Stuart, I really enjoyed your frames

 

I enjoyed that first frame a bit too much.

 

[Stuart Brereton]

That's actually kinda creepy. These frames were posted for the purpose of cinematography discussion. Please don't make me regret it.
