  1. Hengky, At the time when the tape varicam's came out they were the best and stil are and who to say that the varicam is not full HD both 1080 and 720 are FULL HD. I have the Panasonic HPX 300 (Full raster 1920x1080 4:2:2) and are you going to tell me that's not full HD cause it is and does about 95% of all the things that the varicam does. And Pete it would help if you put a link seriously come on bro back up what your going to say with some hard facts and proof. You talk talk talk and have nothing to show it and that can be miss leading to new people. To me FULL HD will always be FILM cause I am the last genx to maybe even load film all every single panavision and arri camera you can think of. But i love the new Arri Alexia for sure but it's just another tool as we all like to say. And as always dave is correct about 720 being HDTV.:) Dave if you ever need a 2nd AC please let me know it would be a honor to work with you.
  2. I don't understand your question as far as what your asking. hvx200 does not have a fimgamma setting like the hpx300,370 and up unless your talking about shooting in 24p.And syncro scan allows to you move your shutter to a specific speed that you want (180 degree for film) is 1/48 for video.
  3. Use your tape measure that is and always will be your best friend on set. Focus pulling is a bit touchy with the red even with a 16mm and just a hair out of focus on one shot I did and then DP/Camera Op saw and and I was like wtf but that's the RED for you, so weither or not you use the DOF cal or not just always use your tape measure just to be safe.

  5. Yes thank you Adrian, that's what I meant to say and really to be honest it will look like crap and really grainny.
  6. It's sad to think that I am the last generation to touch and load a film camera even though I am a wize with HD. And I am sorry but even if your still shooting with the RED you still need a AC no one's that good. And I like how you put in caps (RED ONLY) so I take it he can't shoot with a Panasonic HPX300,2700,3000,3700, Arri D21, or Sony F23? I can get an HVX200 and move you too. It's not the camera it's the person behind it and knowing how to use it. I am not bad mouthing the DP cause he does have a great reel but those are just certin things I saw while reading the other replys.
  7. The first unit will be from either Chi town or LA and the 2nd units will be from Orlando.
  8. That I am not sure of but I have a HPX300 and its a kick but camera. I would rather shoot with the 300 any day over a sony cause at the end of the day I have many different formats that I can shoot and I do not lose any data and keep my 100mb res or what ever format the client wishes or I choose.
  9. Check on google, youtube etc... you can also check out my website as well coreysteib.com. What are you looking for in this camera and are you interested in buying it?
  10. Move to ATL or Tenn for music. Feature films, tv shows, commercials etc.. Move to NY, LA, MIA, ORL, or NO
  11. That is very good to hear Chris, have fun on the job :) and let us know how it goes
  12. Hey Chris yeah if you know all of the Arri camera IE..ArriSR then it's about the same but a few different things other then that you know Arri won't give you that many issues. You right about Pana-v their fuses go out really fast for some reason. But I say prep every camera the same even if you are going to a good and well respected rental house like CSC in NY or Panavision here in Orlando, FL.
  13. Hi Tim, I would love to see a Orlando, FL form and or even a Florida one since the three big film and tv cities in FLA is Orlando, Miami and Tampa.
  14. Hey David, I like the Genesis a lot. I got a chance to play with it 2 years ago when I was with the 600 as a 2nd AC but I am no longer with them since I am now a DP and Camera Op but I still do some AC work. And that reminds me that I have not been up to Panavision here in Orlando, FL in about a year but I am sure they are doing good on rentals but RED has been taken over Orlando as of late and I must say yes I like the RED as well but when I was a 1st AC on a music video we were shooting with the RED and for some reason it would act all crazy and we would have to wait until it started up again and it did it about 2 times. It was not cause of going from outside to inside and the DP Anthony Realmuto was scratching his head as to why it was doing that. Have you ever had the RED do that to you David?
  15. Also about using the Red Rock or Letus etc... with the HVX is that you lose the great color that the Panasonic Camera Captures as well. So I would use the kit lens and do some color correcting either inside the camera or in post. I have the HPX300 and the color 4:2:2 ratio is amazing.
  16. I was curious what does everyone think of the New Panasonic HPX300? I have had it for about 3 weeks now and I must say it kicks but big time and I love it. What do you think? http://catalog2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/s...Model=AG-HPX300
  17. Hey AA, Your welcome this site is great for getting and sharing information to help us all. Me and Chris come from the same boat as you would call it to if you want to work up the old fashion way then loading is the way, but I have done some commercials and films as both the 2ndAC and loader so if you want to you can call your self a 2nd but know how to load mags. And if you want to be a DP and a Camera Op out of the gate then great but I tell you most of what I learned and know now is from being a AC.
  18. Yeah I agree with Chris start a a loader or a camera pa. I started out as a 2nd AC/Loader and I did a few 1st AC jobs before i decided to go full time with being a DP and Camera Op. The key thing is learn as much as you can and ask as many questions but don't hassle the person for info when you are working. It is best done while in between shots.
  19. I feel the same way to you Michael, I was a union member as a 2nd AC for a year and remind you that I live in Orlando, FL where their a a lot of work more commercials and music videos but features have been increasing the past few years and their was a guy who was about 10 hours away from getting full health care and was not able to get it. I am no longer a union member now because I was not getting on union jobs and other bills came first. Now I am a DP and Camera Op (with my own gear)- (which I still do AC work) I have been getting more work. And in order for you to work in LA you have to get on the roster and or make the hug amount of hours to work. I know a lot of union members and only 2 have gotten me on jobs so yes it's who you know and networking but sometimes it does not. It's your choice to join the union but me I feel that they never even helped me out when I asked for it.
  20. Go to JVC.com and their you can find your info.
  21. Thank you fran I know how commercials are done I have done a lot of commercials as a AC and thank you. I have seen my share of two big lighting and grip trucks on both big and small commercials that I have worked on. I have worked on every Arri, panavision and moviecam in both 16mm, 35, and HD that you can think of. Oh also the Sony F23 which is a camera made by panavision. But I thank you for your comments, I wish I had a 10 ton lighting truck but it cost $$$$$ and I made the switch over to DP/Camera Op back on Nov. since I was not getting any AC work because of the economy the way it is I have been able to keep somewhat busy as a camera op.

  22. Hahaha thanks fran that was a funny lol. All this video was just some settings I was playing with and why not try some different things. I know about focus I was a 1st and a 2nd AC for 3 years and I have pulled some fine ass focusing on a few different jobs. So I though I would try a few things different. And here is the video that I was a 1st AC on that was where I had to pull focus and it was a pain in the ass but I got it done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Kdrxeqncbk
