Thanks again for the guidance. I kind of got thrown to the wolves on this one.

David, I understand that the blur would be "correct" with a 180 shutter, however, the post guys are concerned that they want as clean of an image as possible for keying/tracking purposes. I will definitely do a pass at 180 as per your recommendation. We are also using an Arri-III, which makes me a little nervous about it's registration. However, the thought is that the under cranking would make the registration less important than say over cranking. Any thoughts? Thanks for your speedy response! Nick, thanks for your response as well. We aren't looking to copy the Jedi shot, it is just a visual reference...miniatures would be great. Then we could use the money for steadicam on a Frasier...

I'm looking for any advice/guidance for a VFX plate that I'm shooting on Friday. We are shooting a steadicam shot through a forest and the idea is to recreate the effect as seen in the chase in Jedi. This plate will be composited with a woman running on a treadmill. The idea is that she is running very quickly through the woods... We are mainly concerned with motion blur as a result of our going down to 6fps. Any tips/experience in this realm would be excellent! thanks, Dustin

You should be able to get by just fine with the "pup" tent, but you're safer with the standard (36x) so you have plenty of room to load a 1000' mag of 35mm just in case... The biggest down side of the larger bag is that it doesn't fit on top of a camera cart for loading very easily.

If that is the case (as it seems to be), then I pray that the compression and artifacts will become less apparent! I don't know about you, but my head spins and I get nauseous watching things on YouTube for that very reason...

Call your nearest Panavision location. I looked into the program back in 2004 after an alumnus of the program highly recommended it as a boot camp for learning the gear/making contacts. The following is some OUTDATED information: (Winter 2004 - Hollywood) $8/hr + $1 raise/8months + Full benefits Full time M-Fri 8-6:30 (overtime after) Expect to lift heavy cases - up to 80 lbs.
