Why isn't he asking about ibis?

XC15 with canon log but not log2 or 3, xlr input and waveform now.

Yeah, I agree. I'm not crazy about the footage I see from the kinemax so I'm interested if this terra will be different. For raw, these images seem thin and the colors have a brownish mush about them.

Shot on supposedly the same sensor as 6k terra:

Call any post house in the US what frame rate you should shoot on for a feature film. I have gone through this process from start to theatrical to tv to downloads. If you live in a country where they use 60hz the post houses will want you to shoot 23.976. I don't know about 50hz countries.

If you're finishing at a post house in the US they will want 23.976. Most countries with 60hz will do post in 23.976.

Footage I see online of um 4.6k has the magenta issue, whether it is an overall tint, in the corners, or splotches. I'm not sure to what degree they have resolved it, but even some of the new footage popping up has shots with one of this issue. They say don't shoot over 5.6 or use the 2k window on the sensor to avoid some of these issues. I asked my dp if he could shoot on a blackmagic camera. He said no. He said he shot a production using their 4k cinema camera and that there was too many issues with it like overall noise and fpn. Besides the pocket cameras, blackmagic has a pretty bad rep with production people in Korea.

A lot of great footage in this thread. Thanks for sharing guys. Is it just me or does the gx85 handle highlights more gracefully than than the g7?

4k 10bit 4:2:2 to SD card?

Maybe one of the people he scammed can get in touch with the police either in their country or in Egypt and start the process of pressing charges. It seems like if he's done this several times there must be some legal grounds to prosecute him.

Hey guys thanks for all the great info here. I'm actually a little surprised so many people are recommending Sony cameras. I'm not sure if it's skin tone is good for a narrative piece focusing on drama and a little comedy. I see people grading the sony raw images online and it looks either hazy or with a color cast like magenta or green. I'm thinking it must be hard to color correct sony slog2-3 and people end up with overall color issues. My DP has shot with the Fs7 and he liked it but even his film looked hazy and kind of lifeless to me, and this was with a proper color correction. Like the image is too flat and they try to add some life in the skin and it ends up magenta. I don't see this issue with Canon or Alexa. I had some green casts on my first film on the Red which was hard to fix in post. We can only budget one week for color correction on our budget, so I was thinking either Canon or Blackmagic. I think Canon 1DC is not made for film production so it might cause issues while I'm hesitant about ending up with a Ursa Mini with a magenta problem. But it seems like most people here trust Sony's workflow. I guess I have to rethink some of my options. Again thanks for all your advice. I appreciate it.

I didn't see it. It was my producer working post on his last project. Maybe he needed to zoom in on some shots. I'm considering between canon 1d, canon 1dx ii, ursa mini or fs7.

The PD said some of the wide shots were soft but overall it looked good. He thinks we should shoot in 4k for more options in post. I'm not the DP but the director so I have some knowledge on camera gear but not a lot. I was thinking of spending around $8000 for just camera and one zoom lens and rent the rest of the camera gear like tripod, monitor, follow focus, mattebox, filters. I shot my first film on the original Red. It looks okay. It was released theatrically here and lives on in cable and internet downloads. I'm assuming there are better and now cheaper options than that.

Did you read the post? Haha I want to but we can't afford the Alexa pkg in Korea for a three week shoot. The DP will try to get one at a discount at the rental shop but the PD and I need to move on as if that is not a guarantee. The last indie feature my PD worked on was shot on a C100 mk ii. He said the wide shots on the big screen looked soft. Again, Alexa, Epic and Canon C300 mk ii would be great but as of now over budget. This is a microbudget shoot for a script designed around a few characters and one location. I was hoping with enough preparation we can get great images without an Alexa.

Hey Guys, I'm about to shoot my second feature film in Korea in September. It's low budget, and I'm considering buying a camera and some lenses instead of renting. Reasoning is the shoot will only be about three weeks and most of it is in an apartment. I want to test and block the scenes with the DP using the camera over a month before the shoot. This way we will move faster during the shoot and get everything we need. Since the used market is active here, I will selling everything after the shoot rather then just renting for three weeks and having little time to design the shots with the DP. I was thinking around $8000 for the camera and possibly one overall zoom lens while renting the other lenses, tripod and accessories otherwise it will make more sense to just rent everything . But even if we rent, with our budget we will not be able to rent an Arri or a high end Red anyway. I am wasting way too much time researching gear when I need to be editing the script and storyboarding! I know there is a lot of good knowledge in this forum, so I thought maybe some of you guys could point me in the right direction. Thanks.

This just came out: http://www.benq.com/product/monitor/pv3200pt/

bm is struggling to fix the magenta issue on the um4.6. The new kine terra with handgrip (which holds batteries) will be like the size of a dslr for 5k and global shutter. And also I don't know why you would have an issue with kinefinty camera images, they are raw and you just grade them the way you want. I think the images look organic and very close to film, moreso than red and blackmagic, near alexa.

4k?

So free version exports 2k or 1080?

So the difference between the free and the studio is that the studio can work with 4k files and the free is limited to 2k?

Does anyone know if this has 1/48 shutter or do you set it at 1/50 for 23.976 and 24fps?
