Hi!

When using flashes/strobos with epic or alexa or "X" camera, there is a moment when you see the flash, you don't see the flash, or you have a middle straight tinny or "ugly" line of the flash in the frame. Even if you try changing the frequence of the flash you have this problem. We know that is cause of the shutter and the freq of the flash ...

Is there any solution about this? Some equipment that synchronize the flash with the camera?

Impossible to change color... jeje.. well, Ive seen some commercials where the car is white and it doesn't seem so terrible as I thought... Despite I won't have a cool pack shot...

Hi! Im shooting mi first car commercial and the client wants the 4x4 Renault white, and there is no chance to chage the color to a darker one. Im shooting indoor and outdoor. Which problems do you think I will find? Cause I know darker cars are better to have for ex, the sunset/dawn reflection of the sky on it's side and with a white car I think I won't...

Also I'm shooting the car indoor in a kind of garage.

Any recomendation?

Hi! Im shooting mi first car commercial as DoP. Its a 4x4 Renault which the client wants to be a white car! I have to shoot in a parking lot indoor at night and daylight in an airport . Any recommendations? Which problems do you think I will find?

Ok! So I'll go 240 ... Cause I noticed in fast pans, that video-ish look ...

Hi, what is the difference when working with Alexa in 180 ir in 360 degrees? I know that I gain 1 stop of light, so for me that's worth ... but what relly happens with the action? When paning fast y sense kind of video image... What are your sense?

The thing is that we are deciding which camera use for a feature film . The vfx team are asking to go with Epic becasuse of its 5K . The movie has a lot of VFX . Last year they compared epic 5k and alexa logC , and they say its better the 5k of the epic . The thing is I would like to know if the raw of the ALexa plus its aproxametely the same as 5k epic or 6k drgaon . Cause someone told me , Alexa's raw is 3.5K and Epic's 5K is not really 5K ...

If you need to choose a camera not for its "cinematography visual quality" , but for its posibilities when shooting a person in green screen . Which is the best? The raw of the Alexa or the 6K of the Epic? And If you need to crop an image?

Ok ! do you have some footage about : so motion between those two exposures can cause trouble ... what kind of trouble do you mean ?

Hi ! ..

I'm shooting this summer (southamerica) a production on a budget, with Epic & scarlet ... I'm planning to use the HDR process in camera so I can get a natural image , cause we are shooting at midday and need to be fast . I have some doubts , for example what happens with action scenes , fast pans, water-cascade, backlight sun , sun reflections, problems with the hdr, etc ...

I was trying to find in several pages ( here, vimeo, youtube , etc ) more info of this process, but I can't find a very specific info ... somebody uses this process often ? or nobody uses it nowadays? Thanks !

Hi ! In terms of quality ... Which do you think is the best ?

Im shooting in 3 weeks , a movie trailer, for a production company . The story develops in a forest near a mountain . Its an adventure film for kids between 10 and 18 more or less like a The Goonies mix with some Harry potter . There will be a lot of CGI to create volcanoes, eagles, witches, monsters, etc . I need to show some references to the director for us to storyboard the takes for the shooting. I thought in films like, harry potter, lord of the rings, twilight, the village ... I need some names of films shot in the woods .. Can you help me ? thanks !
