I found this one digital-cinematography.netSeems quite good. I agree the ablecine one is good.

Don't know if anyone has seen this yet but Deakins is confirmed. Deakins to Shoot Bond 23 ...Digitally?

Thanks Adrian, i've got some unbleached muslin and some foam board. I wasn't entirely sure how to impliment them into this set-up. I often just end up with softlight bouncing everywhere and I lose definition. I will have to try next time. Thanks Josh

Thanks Adrian, I had a quick go at changing it. Still not quite right though. Couldn't bring the bg down anymore too many windows not enough material to block them.

Hi All, I recently did a test interview setup, just trying to improve my skills. I'm looking for your advice and critiques. I have attached two grabs and a plan of my set up. My inital thoughts were firstly the background, I would have love to get a shallower depth of field to throw it out of focus and make it less distracting. I had the camera as far back as I could so this had to do. I'm torn between soft key or hard key. The colour shift is due to changing colour balance only. Thanks in advance for all your advice. Josh

Thanks Lance, Obviously the project is still in early development and budgets are wanting to be ironed out before the distributor will have a look. The DP and crew that is chosen will be chosen for their knowledge in the route we take. What we are initially trying to find out is the cost benefits of one or other of the formats. or if they work out about even. As we are going to a DI anyway is it a benefit to go straight to digital.

Well that helps, thanks Paul

Hi All, I am trying to put together some information for an independent production company planning to shoot a feature next year in the UK. The director wants to know what is more cost efficient, shooting with the new Arri D-21 or shooting 35mm 3 or 2 perf and going through a DI. With a shooting ratio of 8:1, 2 cameras on set with the need for more for a few large crowd scenes and a planned 6 week shoot time. There is also some VFX work needed and some quite considerable grading will be required. Is there any information which gives a side by side comparison of the 2 workflows and their price implications? Or if anyone has sample budgets for both. All help will be great appreciated. Thanks Josh
