Kinda general question but anyone know of examples of shots that stitch between the inside of a car and pull out to an exterior in movement? I know specifically Extraction 2 does this quite a bit but can you help me find more examples? Thanks to all!

Bump and price drop to $5500 OBO

Perfect working condition. Sensor replacement was performed at about 2900 hours by Arri Blauvelt in 2015. Camera has 3883 hours total. Will provide work order for anyone interested. SENSOR HAS NO MORE THAN 1000 HOURS ON IT. Some damage to external pieces SEE PICTURES: The Arri dovetail no longer has a safety 2 of the SxS cards have broken lock mechanisms The AC power supply was damaged and repaired, in working order and never had a problem with it since. The 2 tie down screws for the BP-12 are stripped. BP-12 still removable Other than the above all other wear is cosmetic.

The roof can't be movable, as it'd end up around 70' tall. These other questions have been brought up Christopher but as the DP, I can't make those calls. I'm trying to best suggest solutions within my scope of influence.

I am on a show that is shut down due to Covid and we are coming up to monsoon season. We have a number of weeks worth of exterior work left and production is floating the idea of building a roof over our neighborhood set so once lockdown is lifted we can continue to shoot into the rains. The set is a large neighborhood, consists of a 3 story building and other fronts, streets, alleys etc and measures about 300' x 450' or over 140,000 square feet, about 2x the size of a standard soccer field. The proposed roof is planned as steel, and translucent tarp above without sides. My general thoughts are that I need to soften and probably supplement overhead ambiance and have a number of units as sunlight effects, depending on the shot. Ambiance- I am not yet sure how translucent or diffused the tarp will be but figure I could always hang diffusion below it if necessary, because I'm concerned about shadows from the frame if sunlight peeks through. I feel like adding units to supplement and soften out transitions, if the sun is going in and out is probably wise. Although I'd love to have the flexibility of color and wireless, I don't think S60s above diffusion is realistic because I'd need about 1400 of them. Tungsten space lights probably out as well because we'll have proper daylight bleeding through on the sides. I could go Muslin on the diffusion and then set up a ton of Dinos/Maxis on the ground and put them through blue gel and bounce, which seems most practical. Ideally run everything through dimmers and have some that are un-gelled on a different channel to have some color control. Sunlight- A couple 18Ks for clean shadows and smaller scenes. 100k (or 2) soft sun for larger wides? How do these compare to HMI? I've heard they can be unimpressive as a hard source. Or maybe an array of HMIs and Maxi's might be better when clean single shadows aren't necessary. Obviously, will discus with my gaffer but curious if anyone out there has any advice or thoughts on doing large exteriors, now inside.

Perfect working order, cosmetic nicks https://www.ebay.com/itm/Arri-FF5-follow-focus-kit-perfect-working-condition-whip-crank-19mm-base/333381221852#shpCntId

I have an otherwise simple shot that requires a 180 degree tilt (maybe a bit more) that takes the camera from upside down, tilting towards the ground and back up the other direction right side up. We'll boom up and push on track in to a CU. Is this doable with a Jimmy Jib? Why is it that you mainly see Jimmys on TV events and the low budget stuff more than feature films, more than a jib from fisher or chapman? I realize it's not a stabilized head and operating on wheels even on a power pod head would be more repeatable but assume an experienced Jib operator shouldn't have a problem with such a shot. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks

Attached is a picture of the full package $990 before tax. Best deal in NYC.

ALEX! How are you Buddy!?? Thanks for the kind words. The last zoom was indeed to mimic TV style. Although you probably wouldn't ever see it on a broadcast like that. It came from the idea that he's now the one to watch, how he's essentially become what he disliked before, by no fault of his own. I will tell Htat hi for you and keep in touch man! Ciao!

Thanks Kieran, The interiors are mainly small units dimmed way down, one was a overhead globe with a muslin droop and a duve skirt and the other was a 300 rigged high and then adjusted for the close ups. Brought the sources in closer and softer for the close work. Really just supplemented the practicals and let the faces go dark and edgy. Took as much off the walls by skirts, teasers, and flags whenever possible. Some negative fill here and there.

Sharing a short film we just posted online, just in time for the NCAA tournament. I shot Alexa 4444 2k, superspeeds wide open most of the time. Some of our influences were a little Savides meets Soderbergh with a dash of Fincher. My friend Andrew Lewis Directed, Nice Dissolve in Brooklyn did the Color. Kyle Fasanella on steadicam. A confrontation with an old rival makes Zack Woods a media sensation hours before leading his underdog team into Game One of March Madness. Let me know what you think and enjoy!
