I think there is a lot of fetish in the "I love 35mm film" community. It seems to me more a subject to impress girls than to make movies... Of course everybody can love what they want, we are in a free world, are we?? ;-D

I want every camera with 2 bits more than what they already have!!! And double the fps!!!

A little bit of light, placed in the right place, can make a really big difference!!! ;-D

To the OP, I have a couple of Yongnou YN300 daylight. I am very happy with them. They may not be the most colour accurate lights in the world, but they can work. You will probably put a film emulation or CC anyway. If you want the purest skin tones, you should better work outdoors. I also have a soft box with Ikea LED lamps. I work for a meat company and meat needs to be cold or it change colours. But the soft box is a PITA to move, transport, etc. The couple of YN300 with some serious batteries (than seem to last forever) just take like 20% of a normal backpack. To JazzBox, lamps produce lumens, not watts. It also depends what you must do with the light. When they use a lamp to fake the sun, they put a 5-10KW HMI. That's a lot of light!

In LOTR a hobbit was a hobbit. In The Hobbit a hobbit is an actor dressed with make-up to look like a hobbit.

Looking to improve gh2/gh4 user wedding videos
Xavier Plagaro Mussard replied to rc2727's topic in Cameras
Rc, you are not making wedding videos for us, you are doing them for your clients. You are showing some progression in those links you posted. I liked you used more live audio, you edited better (in the first one you cut a lot of times to a similar frame, in the second the fades "fade away" the attention) and you are improving. One recommendation, don't get too fixed on flares, color correction or a cool wipe. A plug-in won't make you a better videomaker!!! Those are just the icing. I don't do wedding videos, so take my advice with a grain of salt! ;-D -
Surprise! Sony Alpha A6000 video mode huge improvement
Xavier Plagaro Mussard replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
But the a6000 is that different from the a5100?? -
If you had 1000$ what would you buy?
Xavier Plagaro Mussard replied to Daniel Acuña's topic in Cameras
If you don't need too much zoom Panasonic LX100. If you are more into nature or other subjects which need a long lens, then a FZ1000. Both are 4K and give more IQ than any HD camera can... -
Hi! I live in Rome, but have no m43 cameras nor lenses. I googled and got this (it seems they have one on stock and can pick it up), you should better call before: http://pixellphoto.it/fotocamere-compatte-a-obiettivi-intercambiabili/2843-panasonic-lumix-dmc-g6-eg-k-body.html Via Eurialo, 41/A - 00181 Roma Tel. 06 97 61 57 49 - Email info@pixellphoto.it

A big rig will probably do it for the "bigger is better" clients. If it's not enough, the Sony FS100 is a very nice camera!

Panasonic GH4 user films, tests, reviews and opinions
Xavier Plagaro Mussard replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Is there an alternative to the expensive 12-25mm f2.8 lens?? Not manual lenses, something with autofocus. I never had a GHx camera, the autofocus is more about focus points like Canon or face-detection like Sony?? Thanks! -
AVCHD and movement are really enemies!

Samsung U28D590 review - Ultra HD 4K 28" monitor for $599
Xavier Plagaro Mussard replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
I have had computers for a loooong time now and I have invested in just two good monitors. A Sony 19" CRT (like nearly 20 years ago) and a Dell 23" LCD (from 2005). I am writing this on the Dell, it's very hard on video, you have to work to make things look good on it. The nice thing is that if I get things to look good on it, they look good everywhere else!!! -
SLR Magic 2x Anamorphic - my footage and first impressions
Xavier Plagaro Mussard replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
The 4K Photo Mode seems oriented to get good pictures from the video stream, not so much to have good video. My doubt about the LX100 was more a weight over the lens concern... -
SLR Magic 2x Anamorphic - my footage and first impressions
Xavier Plagaro Mussard replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
That question is good, is the LX100 up to have an anamorphic adapter attached or it's not strong enough?? If the GH4 goes multiformat, it is THE camera to go anamorphic though! -
Experiments in Super Wide Anamorphic CinemaScope 2.35:1
Xavier Plagaro Mussard replied to JohnBarlow's topic in Cameras
The Century Optics I have works a lot better with wide-angles than with normal lenses, on a big sensor camera. I would love to try it on the new LX100 at 4K... Never had a 7200!
