  1. Was going for the Deakins type warm look he has in his work.
  2. Wasn’t shooting wrong. As for the colorist I am just concerned I am not seeing something wrong that he is catching.
  3. By base color temperature setting do you meaning setting in camera?
  4. David The look was what I was looking . Unfortunately my colorist felt the skin tones weren’t right by the lighting. You see anything wrong?
  5. Hello members: So after experimenting with a lot of techniques I have come up with a lighting method that has gotten me results I thought were good. Basically using a FORZA 500 i attach it to a big umbrella diffusor which I then light through a 6 foot rag of unbleached muslin. It gets me a nice soft look on the talent. Unfortunately someone has put doubt into my method. I took the footage to a colorist and he indicated that the skin tones were strange and he had to do a lot of work to correct them. As you may or may not know the Forza 500 is a daylight balanced 5600 kelvin light. Am I wrong to be blasting that light through a warm diffusion such as the unbleached muslin?
  6. Hello group: So I just upgraded from the Arri Alexa classic to the XT PLUS and for some reason I am having issues using my ODYSSEY 7Q with it. I connect it the same as the classic but I am unable to get any image out of it. Any help would be appreciated.. O.R
  7. Thank you David Your expertise is always appreciated in these forums. Funny I just listened to the Deakins podcast episode in which they interviewed you. It was a really great listen. thanks O.R
  8. Hello group: I am debating whether to pull the trigger on a Arri Alexa XT. I currently own a Classic and use the odyssey 7Q to shoot arri raw 2.8. Just wondering whether it is worth the expense to upgrade to 3.2 resolution. Besides that I know the XT has 4:3 option however I dont shoot anamorphic. Any help would be appreciated O.R
  9. Just wondering what everyones thoughts was on shooting a feature on the Arri Alexa XT. A partner of mine is concerned shooting on it will limit our options for distribution, thinking 4k is the the more viable option. The thing is I love the look of ARRI and I prefer it over all the other affordable 4k and higher options out there. I tell him that Skyfall was only 2.8 resolution and Blade Runner was 3.2 and that didn't hinder those films in anyways(I realize they had a master DP behind them). What do you think of this issue? Is shooting on a non LF Arri Alexa a lost cause?
  10. So I am currently shooting with the Arri Alexa CLASSIC and I am interested in shooting anamorphic. The issue is despite my camera having anamorphic license it is still not the best option for shooting anamorphic. I am considering purchasing a ARRI ALEX PLUS 4:3 to shoot anamorphic, I am just confused by the full frame thing. The lenses currently out say FULL FRAME and the Alexa plus is not,, can I still use lenses like the Viltrex or the Orion lenses? Thanks in advance O.R
  11. Hello members: I am in the market for a Cooke Speed Panchros 25mm. Would prefer a TLS one with a PL mount but I know those usually are sold only in kits. Would prefer to buy locally here in Los Angeles but open to other places. O.R
  12. Hello group: I rented and tested a TLS house Cooke Speed Panchros and was blown away by it. And since those lenses are sold (from what I have seen) just in kits and I can only afford one lens at the moment I want to purchase a 25mm. From my research I see that Cooke released the Cooke Panchros classics which are advertised as having the same look. A buddy of mine sent me a video and claimed the classics look is off from the vintage, to my eye they look the same. Just wondering what the group thinks. O.R
  13. Hello group: Just wondering if anyone has experience shooting anamorphic on the Arri Alexa classic? With anamorphic lenses becoming more affordable I am thinking of getting into shooting widescreen. I realize my camera isn't 4:3 but it does have the anamorphic license. So my question is does anyone have experience shooting anamorphic on the classic? What affordable lenses would you recommend? I have my eye on the siriu. thanks O.R
  14. Hello Group: My buddy is selling me a 32mm COOKE SPEED PANCHROS. The problem is he said it has some fungus on it. He thinks he can clean it but isn't sure. His fear is damaging the coating on the cooke lens. Is this a job that a average person can do or does it require a specialist? Does hydrogen peroxide or vinegar work?
  15. Hello group: I am curious if anyone in the group has had any experience shooting with Cooke minis s4? I realize at 2.8 their not the fastest lens but besides that are there any negatives to them? I have found surprisingly little feedback on their performance.
