Julian Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Funny, although it's hard to see anything at all... Just makes me wonder, why would a DoP mix Canon C500 with Alexa, why not choose one system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Cunningham Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hurlbut explained that he liked the C500's response to electric light at night. In his tests it just looked more video-like to me than the Alexa but that's what they responded to. Julian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Different cameras do different things well. Notice the GoPro shot in that trailer? I did, and the EOS 1D C too. I can imagine why the GoPro and 1DC are used because of the form factor, that's why I just mentioned the C500 and Alexa, both big cinema camera's. BurnetRhoades answer makes sense though, the C500 for lowlight and the Alexa during the day. I didn't think of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmMan Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Take note of the lenses used too - referring to the lens size for each shot, ie. 27 mm, 21 mm, 15 mm, etc. Lot's of info in the clips. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucian Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I saw the explanation video too, it sounded more like an infomercial for canon because I don't know how anyone with eyeballs could advocate the c500 over the alexa for a theatrical release with a straight face. Esp considering the footage shown in the tests looked like a wedding video. I love Shane's posts though, full of insights.
