  1. US based production companies (indie or otherwise) are encouraged to contact www.Movieinsure.com for quotes and consultation.

    Respect!

    Dave K.

     

    Dave,

     

    Can you offer any insurance advice or suggestions based on what you've read in this conversation?

     

    For example, if both the equipment owner and the renter (production company) have insurance, does it benefit the owner to have the equipment covered by the renter's insurance during the rental term?

    I suppose this should go in the Panavision sub-forum, but... (Maybe I'll move it later...)

     

    Congrats to RED!

  3. This informative PDF from Panavision describes how to ship lithium ion batteries or travel with them on passenger aircraft.

     

    As of April 1, 2016, lithium ion batteries must now be shipped as Class 9 Dangerous Goods, and a restriction has been implemented on the bulk (three or more) shipment of UN3480 lithium ion batteries as cargo, including checked luggage, on passenger aircraft

  4. Lytro Cinema captures all the rays of light within a scene, providing a rich amount of Light Field data. Every pixel has color properties, directional properties, and its exact placement in space.

     

    Lytro Cinema is defying the traditional physics of on set capture by virtualizing creative camera decisions. Infinite creative choices can be generated in post-production including unprecedented control over focus, perspective, aperture and shutter angle – recreating impossible shots.

     

    755 RAW Megapixels

    Up to 300 fps

    Up to 16 stops of Dynamic Range

    Integrated High Res Active Scanning Systems

  5. Well there's only one guaranteed way to deal with this Justin, separate categories for black actors, and a separate category for best female director. Then everyone will be happy.

     

    R,

     

    There's a line in this forum's Guidelines: Avoid sarcasm. It is nearly impossible to recognize sarcasm in print, and often it is interpreted as rudeness.

     

    Please change the topic or discuss it clearly without sarcasm.

  7. Designed specifically for Canon’s latest Cinema EOS cameras, ARRI PCA introduces a new cine plate for film set environments, an adjustable broadcast plate for documentary-style filming and a handy top-mounted support plate.

     

    ARRI’s range of Pro Camera Accessories (PCA) makes the benefits of ARRI-designed accessories available to cameras from other manufacturers. It comprises rugged, versatile and user-friendly tools that endow almost any third-party camera with film-style functionality, aligning it to universal industry working practices and giving it the durability to be used efficiently and effectively on professional sets everywhere.

     

    Complementing the multi-component ARRI PCA shooting kits already available for Canon’s Cinema EOS cameras, three new accessories are being introduced that will allow the C300, C300 Mk II and C500 to be used in an even wider variety of professional shooting situations. First deliveries of these new items will commence in August 2015.

     

    Broadcast Plate for Canon C300 / C300 Mk II / C500
    Broadcast environments demand quick changes from tripod to shoulder and perfect balance when handheld. The Broadcast Plate for Canon C300 / C300 Mk II / C500 is compatible with VCT-style plates such as the ARRI QRP-1; it also offers a wide range of shoulder adjustments without affecting the placement of accessories fitted to the integrated 15 mm LWS rod system, making last-minute balance adjustments straightforward and comfortable.

     

    Cine Plate for Canon C300 / C300 Mk II / C500
    Keeping the same lightweight simplicity as the original plate for C300, the Cine Plate for Canon C300 / C300 Mk II / C500 offers front and rear 15 mm LWS integrated rod consoles, a pair of sturdy ARRI rosettes and direct compatibility with studio bridge plates such as the ARRI BP-8 and BP-9.

     

    Top Plate for Canon C300 Mk II
    A low-mode plate fitted with an integrated 15 mm LWS rod console that provides room for handle and accessories.

  8. ARRI continued its annual presence at the Cannes Film Festival this year, strengthening its partnership with Director's Fortnight and hosting social events that brought together cinematographers, directors and producers from all over the world. At the beachside ARRI hospitality space, five cinematographers spoke on camera about the films they had in competition and about their experiences working with ALEXA on those productions. Overall, more than half of the festival's films that were shot digitally used ALEXA as their main camera. http://www.arri.com/news/news/cannes-2015-video-interviews-with-dps/

  9. The image looks like it been graded heavily so I can't guess at color temp, It's possible the entire shot was lit with a couple of 60W bulbs plus the practical light.

     

    Might be a small Kino source in the foreground but I'd guess a diffused fresnel or even just a soft bare bulb with some diffusion.

     

    Why do you ask?
