Here's the final version if anyone was curious:

You can see the bags at 7 seconds. And ended up using that RAW still... which I was lucky I had.

Whoa, I lucked out and just realized I shot a RAW still of the costumes before filming. The 7D has lots a motion problems, but it's a hell of a still camera!

I'm still curious for future projects if anyone recommends an anti-moire plugin.

Thanks anyway Jon. I imagine that plugin works great for different/more minor moire applications.

Does anyone have any advice for removing moire in post? I shot these cheap nylon bags and the moire is terrible. I'm not sure if there's a program/technique powerful enough to remove this.

Tried this free fcp plugin http://colorbyjorg.wordpress.com/plugins/ to no avail (sigh).

Also note, this is a static shot, the zoom was created in post. So... I'm considering creating a still and working with it in photoshop, then creating the zoom again.

Thanks!

Killer music video, by Keith Schofield & DP Damian Acevedo. Achieved with a combination of blackface, dark eyeliner and a lotta rotoscoping.

Couldn't find a frame grab, so look at this scene in "Ball of Fire" (1941), shot by Gregg Toland, starting at the 5:20 mark near the end, when Gary Cooper goes into Barbara Stanwyck's hotel room, thinking he's talking to one of the professors:

 

Toland and Hawk wanted her face to be black, because Gary Cooper doesn't realize he's talking to her in the dark, but they wanted to see her eyes, so Toland decided the best thing would be to paint her face black. They called up the make-up room in the morning and told them to paint Barbara Stanwyck in blackface -- she grabbed the phone and said "what in the hell kind of move are you making?"

 

Hey, it worked!

Anyone use these new Arri LED fresnels? http://www.arri.com/l-series/index.html

Saw them at NAB this year. They are dimmable and come in 3 styles; daylight, tungsten, and color controllable and are spot and flood capable.
