any warnings or advices or tricks on shooting several sequences on a discotheque inlcuding LASER LIGHTS coming straight to the lenses in some cases???

I am getting some magenta tint on faces, shooting interior with Sony F55 and Venice. It appears when checking image with 709. I am using 3.200K led panels as a main source, bounced on big blankets how to avoid that slight magenta tint (what is that? blood reminiscence?) what gel would you recomend on main source to make faces look more "Young and Golden look"?

thanks so so much, David. amazing explanation gimme 100 Mullens and I will change the cinematography school's education in this world hehehe thankx from Spain

yes, the frame will have change... but I am interested here in depth of field to get the sense of the video I posted... and to get that sense of depth of field with no renouncing to c-log dynamic range of 1D-C... (my thought is that I am not sure if I a right assuming that 1D-c on 1080 APS-H mode will get me the full frame depth of field only with the image or angle of view cropped you see my point? I need the narrowest depth of field possible with the maximun dynamic range... and have to choose among medium cameras (can's afford the big big ones) thankx

David, sorry... I quite don't get it... if the 1D is a native full frame camera... Even if I shoot on 1080 (wich is suposed to be APS-H size, not APS-C size)... that should mean that I crop the image formed on the chip, but not affect the depth of field... isn't it the same situation that if I would use a 35mm lens on a 16mm camera? wouldn't that produce a big picture on the focal plane with narrow depth of field, but cropped by the 16mm window size???? Am I wrong???? is there any picture that explain in black and white why the cropping affect the depth of field...??? Do you understand my point??? tricky issue... hmmmm

oh, sorry. it was just because I wanted to resolve my doubt as soon as possible. SORRY. I understand. can you help me with my doubt? or do you know someone who could solve it? thankx in advance

wich camera should I choose for a commercial where I need portaits with critical focus on the eye and minimun depth of field? I am inclined to full frame... but wanted the maximun latitude possible... so ... what about 1d-C versus 5D? do I get quite more latitude with canon log... am I right? and one doubt: I I use the 1D-C on APS-H wich is not full frame... what is really happening? do I lost the critical depth of field or I just crop the image? in the beginning I was thinking of the C-300 but because I want that sense of tilt&shift focus on the portrait...I thought about depth of field with full frame and compact primes 1.4 this is the kind of look I am searching for, but with the maximun dynamic range possible because I will be shooting exterior and I haven't got nice experiences on the white clipping with 5D THANKS IN ADVANCE

I am facing a shooting where the director wants that "night swimming" R.E.M videoclip look it seems it was shoot withy infrared lighting and camera underwater... but... wich camera is best for this? does infrared lighting behaves normally underwater at night, with no more light??? wich camera and case is better so the camera´s infrared light is not blocked by the undewater case??? THANKS IN ADVANCE

what would you say is better choice for a TV docu series similar to typical discoverychannel docs? or TV series Dog Whisperer? * no chances for hi postproduction or color correction * no filtering on camera... wich one is more sensitive? better quality? best latitude in hard light situations? noise...? THANKS IN ADVANCE

and I stil think that going to 2/3 lens adaptor will get us more cinema looking depth of field... at least more than a 1/2 inch one... am I wrong?

THANKS so so so much, friend it was very usefull by the way... do you know the ex3 in deep? is it a good choice to set the detail setting OFF when planning to film for movie theaters? THANKS IN ADVANCE

Where can I find information for getting the best results out from the EX3 to record a new TV series here in Spain? * lenses, 2/3 adpators, tests * external hard disks, wire settings... * remote control over signal, iris, etc... * hand held configuration...with all that stuff...

I'VE JUST RECEIVED the wide lens adapter 0,6 for my ex3 and I can't get focus in any configuration... nor macro, nor infinite... What could be the problem? Is there any trick or Key????

but... if I decide to shoot 1080... it can be both pal or ntsc? I thought that 1080 was a universal format itself... I can't understand how 1080 can be at the same time PAL 575 lines (or NTSC) so confused
