Thank you Phil, I'll try that.

Thank you Adrian !!

Thanks Matthew,

That's exactly what I need, take the glossy away, any tricks?

Hi John,

I have the Ex1, what lenses do you use with the Ex3? how about crop factor?

Thanks,

Hi Guys,

I'm using Sony EX1, I shoot 1080P.

Any advice in post (sony vegas 10) to get some film texture?

I'm not talking about lightning or DOP, just need some matte texture for some shots. Is there a plug in out there? maybe some tricks with what I already have?

Thanks !!

Great short Frank

Hi guys,

I just got an used Letus extreme. I have an Ex1. When I try to align it zooming out I can only align it with the paralel lines of the viewfinder, but the GG is not in the center of the viewfinder, is off to the right, so when I zoom in to avoid vignette it seems that I have to zoom in more to compensate. Any help ?

Thanks !!

Hi Jon,

I'm thinking about getting the JVC, I have a Nikon D 300 for photos, would I be able to use my Nikon lenses with the JVC ?

Thanks in advance,

Ramiro

I started my search for a camera around 3 months ago. It came down to the Sony ex3, the panasonic 300 and the jvc 700.

I liked the image of the Sony ex3 and a 1/2" chip is great. I didn't like the way it sits on the shoulder. Very front heavy. Plus the sxs cards are pricey.

The panasonic 300 was tempting with a full 1920x1080 chip. By the time I buy the camera with lens, batteries and p2 cards the price was getting pretty high.

So I landed on the jvc 700 with the fuji 17x lens. I love how it sits on my shoulder. Everything is laid out well. The LCD is big and clear. The 1280x720 images are very crisp. Much better than the 1920x1080 interlaced. The media is cheap. Especially an off brand like Transcend. My only complaint so far is the blacks are a touch noisy. For the price it is a pretty incedible camera.

I hope to try the PL mount with prime lenses in the future.

Well done !! Nice work.Lighting, nice shoots, camera movements.

Except for one thing, this is very personal, the father doesn't do it for me, I don't mean as an actor, only his "look" just takes me somewhere else.

Great job !!

Nice work !!

Great info David, Thanks !!

Ramiro,

 

Please do not take this the wrong way, but I am amazed at how many Lighting, Film Stock, Camera Choice, Lens & Filter questions are posted without any detail as to the 'Look' that is trying to be achieved. It seems to me the first sentence should be.. "I am trying to get a look like...." "here is what I am using or here is what is available".. from there you can really get some assistance.

 

Maybe beginners are simply after a clean normally exposed, great looking image.. and will play with various looks in telecine or in post... or they are having difficulty describing the look.. they should state that. It all starts with .. What do you want it to look, feel like? Everything else is meaningless and you are not furthering your craft without addressing that first. After all, we are to previsualize.. then paint with our tools that which we wanted.. to the closest of our ability. Sometime we nail it.. sometimes we learn a hard lesson.. either way we learn and begin to master or craft instead of being a slave to it. Ramiro, you are not alone... I see this all the time and many times when asked "what do you want it to look, feel like?'... there is no answer.

 

I just thought I would express my observation.

David,

You are absolutely right, forgot to answer that, and is actually the point.It's also not easy to respond, since I think I would need some knowledge in order to explain the look I

want.

I'm an actor and work in soapoperas. well that's exactly what I don't want, perfect light.

I'd like to get somehow film look, not to much light,i like shadows, the house is big, so I can play a lot with DOF.

I'd like to get as close as possible to the final look, trying to avoid manipulating digital files in post,I use Vegas 8.0(same principle with digital audio(I use protools),when you record try to get as close as you can to final mix,eq and comp before convertion)

But I have the chance to go to the house one whole day before the shooting and try different lighting situations.

So if I get the gels and put them on the lights they would somehow get close to daylight right?

Thanks for your time David !!

Ramiro

..or gel the windows with CTO or a combo of NDCTO and shoot tungsten... or mix a variation of each.. putting gels on one or the other... or both.

 

The real question is what do you want it to look, feel like? That is your starting point.

Thanks David !

The windows are too high, so I'll gel the lights.

Than you Steve!, I'll do that

Hello guys,

I'm pretty new on this, i'm learning.

I'll be shooting in a house that has a lot oh daylight, and I only have tungsten lights, soft boxes etc.

How do you think it'll look if i mix them?

If I can get away with it I'll do it, if is gonna look bad rather not.

I'll be shooting with Sony pmw ex1 1920.1080 24fps

Thanks in advance !

Ramiro
