I want some advise in order to use ramping on post phase. I am going to shoot with a 1500 Sony Camera, but I am not sure if I should shoot just 30 fps with standard shutter angle or it is better to use a faster shutter angle. One of our post manager/HD Nitris artist said that is better for the plug in to go on standard and deal with the ramps on the Nitris. Somebody has any info about this. Thanks JC

Thanks a lot for your comments, I will shoot next two weeks so I will let you know how everything goes...

Some additional info, we cannot shoot with Anamorphic adapters and lenses because the costs versus our budget, besides in our country we do not have them. The idea is to make de upconversion to 35 but looking for the 2.35 aspect on final release. Here we have some ideas about how to shoot on HDCAM 1.78 keeping all the info inside safe zone for 2.35, but any additional advises, could be great Thanks

Hi, I am going to shoot with the F23 camera, using the Cinestyle zoom and Digiprimes for a final release on cinema theaters. We would like to have a final projection aspect that emulates a 2.35 look. There are some advices around this subject? We are going to shoot everything with the S-log setting all the time and some shutter and ramping alterations on the native HD Cam frame aspect. We know that we are going to use just a part of the entire 16:9 original frame, but please let us know your comments around this. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your information, I will check with the post house about the monitor calibration. Bye JC

Recently I shot a tv commercial using the HDV Sony Z1, We transfer to SD the rough material and it seems darker in the black zones than the image seen at the video monitor at location. Then we transfer all HD to the computer using HD conversion, and the problem solved a little. What could happen, and how I can control this in next ocassion? Thanks JC

Hi every one: We are going to shoot a short movie using day for night technique with DFN Monochrome filter cause one of the actor is a little child. We shot in 35mm another story with this technique, but we ask for some help or advise when we use a MiniDV 24p camera (Panasonic 100). Thanks in advance for your replies. Bye JuanCajiao

Hi! Right know I must make a budget for a project involving 3D shooting and projection. At my country there is no information or rental houses to supply all the stuff needed. Please, I need some recomendations about shooting a 3 dimension movie. Could be taped or only exist the film camera adapted for that? Where is located the cheaper rental house for that kind of equipment? Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot! As always you are a great helpers clearing my ideas! Sincerely Jua Cajiao
