Hello,
I am building a system to edit and grade 5d Mk3 Raw with davinci,premiere...

I am currently looking for a sub $ 300 monitor to buy for color correcting. I know

that at this price range it is almost ridiculous to ask for any objective color correction but

well, is the money I have.

My options so far are:

--Asus MX239H 23"

--Asus PA238Q 23" 

Which monitor do you use? What are your recommendations?

Thanks!

Thank you very much!

I´ve changed some things:

What do you think?

Whats your take on the storage?

Thanks

Hello, I am sort of a beginner in pc building and so far I´ve come up with this:

http://es.pcpartpicker.com/user/Nicogw/saved/1TFu

We plan to film a feature film with this rig. What do you think? Will it hold?

I need a powerful video card because I want to edit in at least 1080p in two monitor fluent. I would love if this setup could afford (when I have the money for monitors) the capacity for 1440p.

I went for 16gb of ram thinking on doubling it in near future for use of rendering and stuff.

I bought a SSD for Windows and the software and for the moment a 3tb hard drive for video files etc... AND HERE is my biggest doubt. I know that for fluent editing I will need a RAID system, the thing is I don't know anything about RAID. Which would be the cheapest way of having a RAID system that can back me up at least one copy of everything and having at least 3tb of space (excluding the backup). Which kind of RAID should I use?

Also, would you happen to have any recommendations that could lower the price for the same performance?

Also, what screen do you recommend me.

Thank you very much.

Hello there!
Im looking forward to buying a pc rig in order to heavy raw editing

with a 5d mk3. Resolve, premiere etc... My budget is around 1400

euros and so far I´ve come to this:

Anyone knows, have tested or seen tests of an anamorphic resolution (1440x1080 or higher maybe) on the 5D mk2 for use with a 2x adapter? What I´ve read so far is that 5d wont go bigger than 1880x840 but what about other resolutions considering anamorphics. 

Hello there,

Anyone knows, have tested or seen tests of an anamorphic resolution (1440x1080) on the 5D mk2 for use with a 2x adapter? What I´ve read so far is that 5d wont go bigger than 1880x840 but what about other resolutions considering anamorphics. From what you´ve seen so far, would you recommend switching back to the mk2 from a hacked gh2 in terms of image quality, colors, low light etc...?

Thanks

Any new on the 5d MK2 being able to shoot some decent resolution for 2x anamorphic owners like 1440x1080 maybe?

What is the situation with RAW Video in the MK2? Is it capable? If so what sizes/modes? How is it compared with mk3?

Should I run and sell my gh2 for a MK2?

Would you recommend me a good 35mm taking lens that can go wide open but still sharp enough for use with a Kowa 8z on a gh2. 

What would be the sharpest lens possible for that combination?

What would be the best/reasonably cheap option?

Any recommendations accepted.

What hack would you use for sharpest image. Sedna Aq1?

Thanks!

As new. Really good anamorphic. Very sharp!

this was the exact technique I used for this video.  4k uprez and blur/sharpen, 4k overlay export at 1080x1920.  this is with sony nex5n which is about 1/2 as sharp as the gh2.  it was a lot darker than it looks but i was shooting wide open at f1.8

Awesome! Any grain you could recommend me? Preferably cheap or free? or easy to get if you know what I mean.

with the limitations of 2k projection I'd change my suggestion to not include the nesting and squeezing to 4:3. but the actual desqueeze and framing of the image I mention prior to that I still stand by. work in a timeline with your full height of 1080 (maybe even work in a 4k timeline and scale up. the gh2 is pretty detailed for 1080p, and with a bit of 4k grain overlay and delicate sharpening might pass for 4k capture, downscaled to 2k) and then export out at the desired frame height of around 800px.. what a shame!140px off the top and bottom from your original 1080p footage. that's a lot of waste!, especially since you'll have lost a fair bit of horizontal resolution during your de squeeze and cropping from 3.55 to 2.39.

Yep I guess thats it. The actual desqueeze and framing of the image you mentioned before are alright and I guess (correct me if I´m wrong) that if I don´t use the entire 3.55 than I can use a wider lens which vignettes less than 2.39. I say this because the minimum lens to use with the Kowa 16-D is a 50mm.

 (maybe even work in a 4k timeline and scale up. the gh2 is pretty detailed for 1080p, and with a bit of 4k grain overlay and delicate sharpening might pass for 4k capture, downscaled to 2k) 

Could you recommend me any workflow for this. Where do you get your 4k grain from?

I´ve read the gh2 hold good up to 2.5k. Has anyone dcp projected or seen dcp projected gh2 material?

Thanks richg101

 

Ignore my last comment:)  I guess they must scale the projected image to fill the full height of the screen.  this method removes all reasons for anamorphic in the first place.  losing 1/3 of the projector area and brightness too.  I guess when I have seen the 2x projection lenses in action it has been during film projection?

Yep, the reasons for anamorphic use is avoiding to upscale the height from 1920 to 2048 and because of esthetic anamorphic appeal.

i'd try de-squeezing a little more if i were you. the samples you show are still a little too squeezed. make your frame 1080tall x 2580wide (2.39:1), import your footage and scale to fill the frame, adjust the L/R position to best make use of your frame (you have a few hundred pixels which will be out of frame on each side so you can play with framing to get the most out of each shot. certain shots will allow you to de squeeze more and others less. a landscape or woodland setting which requires more detail can be less stretched out while a close up of a face or a side on view of a car will need to be more accurately de squeezed (closer to the 2x) so they look right.

Based on your DCP suggestion, I would assume it would be best to now export the entire project out as a 4:3 format squeezed export, ready to be de-squeezed by the picture house (who will be using a 2x anamorphic projector lens for anamorphic stuff).

Get everything arranged and nest it all together in your current 2.39:1 frame but now apply a 2x squeeze to the nested project. This will result in a 4:3 image area which is 1080x1440. once put through the picture houses projector your film will take up the full height of the screen but will stretch out to the correct 2.39:1 and fill the width too. if you just make your frame 800 or so pixels tall it will letter box and you will lose 1/3 of your screen area and projector brightness when projected.

Hope this makes sense. I have never done this, but it makes sense from what I have seen in smaller picture houses. i think the loss of pixels on the width is worth it when you consider your picture will properly fill the entire 2.39:1 screen in the cinema, instead of just filling a letterboxed portion of the 1.85:1(or 16:9) part of their screen.

Great, thanks! The only thing is, from what I´ve read and been told there are no more anamorphic projections left so squeezing everything to a final 4:3 won´t work :S Check this links:

The question is, what would be the balance to get the best out of the GH2 + the Kowa 2x anamorphic taking in consideration that the final file should fit the 2k dcp (2048x1080)? Taking in consideration that we prefer and want an anamorphic look.

Hello everyone,

We are planning to shoot a very low budget feature film this summer and I have some questions on the camera set we will use and I hope you can help me on some of the following:

1.  The 16:9 sensor on the GH2 + a 2x anamorphic adapter produces a final stretched anamorphic aspect of 3.55. Which would result in (1920x1080)*(2)= 3840x1080. Instead of doing the decompression from 2x, I want to interpret the shot as if pixels would be 1.333 or 1.4587. I know it keeps the image still a little deform but I think I like the look. Whats your technical and/or creative take on it?         (SEE IMAGES BELOW)

2. We would project it on standard 2k (2048×1080) DCP cinemas and the final cut would fit into it with a 2048x858 (2.39:1) size movie. Am I right? or does it work in another way?

3. I am currently using Sedna AQ1 for max detail against anamorphic softening against big screen projection. Do you think it will hold enough? Would you sharpen in post? Whats you recommend any other hack?

Given this 3 points which would be your opinion on this process? Have any of you seen any gh2 anamorphic content projected in 2k dcp? How does it stand?

Thanks for your help!

P.D. Anyone selling a Kowa 16-h (8z) In order not to be so limited with the 16D in lens minimum mm´s?
