    nothing new?

    I really love what I'm seeing from this camera....global shutter, RAW DNG and sensor size

     

    I miss S16 in this age of digital cinema cameras. My only wish....that we could get a higher resolution than 1080.

    Miles, that set had a number of fluorescent tubes behind the diffusion pannels. In groups of six they could be individually switched on/off. This was wired to a manual switchboard, so to get the effect of the ceiling lighting up back to front two or three people would trigger the switches manually in the order we wanted.

     

     

    Thanks for the info!

    Great stuff Felix!

     

    So many well lit shots. I really loved where the overhead fluorescent turned on (ca. halfway through the reel).

     

    The pacing felt just fine, enough time to really see the lighting and composure. While still being short enough to keep me wanting more.

     

    Care to elaborate on any of the lighting set-ups?

    Books on 16mm film technique

    I remember this book...

    However, I don't remember it being so expensive. 66 dollars USED? Jeez.

     

    It is a great book.....

     

    But you're right that is expensive! I don't remember paying that much. Maybe it's out of print now.

     

    You could check your local library. It's a long shot, but you never know.

    DSLR grading tips

    I played around with it, and during my tests discovered that the Technicolor style boosts black up to 16 from where it should be (0). This discards precision. Interestingly, it does not do this to the highlights (they're still at 255). I don't think this is a good idea with 8 bit data, especially with such a flat curve. We need every bit of data we can get.

     

    I'm curious about that myself. With my (very limited) tests so far, it has held up quite well. I'm not sure if that's due to the Technicolor style itself or due to the fact that I've used 5DtoRGB.

     

    One thing that I have noticed, I find myself second guessing my choice for exposure. Since there aren't any true blacks, I feel like I'm overexposing.

    Something I did recently for B&H has just been published:

     

    Thanks Phil, very informative.

     

    I wonder if you've had time to test the new Technicolor CineStyle? And your opinion of its potential.

    Hi, I thought I'd interject some information regarding use of the KOWA 16-H/8-Z lens, since I have shot quite a bit using this lens in both still and movie formats. Hopefully this will shed some useful light on the topic...........

     

    Fantastic information, thank you.

    Problem with HPX 500

    Hi Philip,

     

    I'm not sure if it does or doesn't. We have one at the office but I'm on holiday now and won't be back for at least a week. I could also be getting it confused with one of our other cams.

     

    You could try posting on the dvx site (dvxuser). They have a forum for the HPX500.

     

    Let us know what you find out.

    Suspected eBay fraud

    This looks like another scam... same graphic used?

     

    ebay scam?

     

    Item number: 320166505922

     

    That has got to be a scam. In fact it looks like a pic from an older sale from a member of this forum. Tim Carroll if I'm not mistaken. Ebay really needs to do something about this.

    I'll keep a look out for information and let you know if I run across anything. If you get it working I'd love to see some photos and hear about your experiences.

     

    Thanks,

    ntsc or pal on xl1

    in Canon

    Posted

    Well now here's an interesting thought. If my market is both US and abroad am I better off shooting PAL, knowing that PAL is a bit better in resolution and that I can convert to NTSC later on?

     

    Back when I lived in the US, I knew of a few freelancers that would offer PAL as their main shooting platform (beta, SP & Digi). It was a better resolution (as you stated) and it was closer to 24fps. This was before 24fps cameras.

     

    Of course they would transfer over to NTSC for final output. If you have time for the conversion it's not a bad idea.
