  1. yes, just like that, most of the digital cameras don't have anamotphic mode, so the footage needs to be de-squeezed in post, with the ratio of your lens, either 1.33, 1.5, 1.75 or 2x, but those digital cinema cameras that do have anamorphic mode, like Red or Alexa, they do that in camera, but again, only for 1.33 or 2x. but that's not a big deal, cuz you still can see the whole frame and can frame properly, even when considering cropping in post.
  2. he he, i though you might get tricky and just crop it 2x, amazing shots, i'd say Ultrastar, but it's really hard to tell without seeing flare
  3. I can try to guess if you tell if it's 2x or 1,33x
  4. and Century Optics is not a shit advice, lol; ISCO ultrastar is an amazing anamorphic lens, tack sharp, beautiful bokeh, plenty of character; weaker, more settled flares, but this is matter of preferences. my favorite taking lens is FL55mm 1.2, paired with my ISCO ultrastar - pure magic!
  5. don't buy C100, i mean it's OK camera if there is no budget for any better, from your list i would probably go with C300, take a look at 1DXmkII, it was made for one man crew, not as good as A7S in low light but ISO6400 is clean, autofocus is a snap, and 4K files look amazing, i'm gonna do side by side with epic, they are very close. The only thing cfast2 is kinda pricey,
  6. Or Panasonic LA7200, those focus through adapters much easier to film with, but you're not getting the same bokeh that 2X lenses produce
  7. here is kowa 16H on Canon FD 55MM f1.2, wide open, frame from 4K @ 500 Mbps
  8. my copy of Canon FD 55mm f1.2 is very sharp even wide open, and the bokeh @ 1.2 is just sick! but for 5Dmkiii i am afraid 55mm is not wide enough, 85mm f1.4 rokinon is dirt cheap and has very good picture, Nikon AI is a bit more expensive but it's an excellent piece of glass.
  9. in firefox right click on the page >view page info>select media>select file you want> click Save As
  10. mount your Ronin M on steadicam and that's where the fun begins!
  11. Good idea! but if it were me, choosing between two i'd get BM micro cinema
  12. don't make your choice between today (a6300) and yesterday (GH4), at least wait till GH5 comes out

    BM or Red?

    of course no, but i wasn't talking about just shooting whatever you want, i was talking about 60p 1/120th; yeah, it would be nice just to shoot it on Phantom, but we here talking about budget (key word) music video solutions , aren't we? so watch your background, light and expose your shot properly, tell your artist not to make any fast movements, in short - direct your shot , and you'll be fine down to 20% of the speed which is what, 300fps?, this is not just theory, i've done this many times and with very good looking results

    BM or Red?

    BM or Red?

    wait a bit, get a BM micro cinema, it has 60fps, when you need slower use twixtor, shoot raw, well exposed and with OK post, on youtube no one will tell it from Alexa, very cost effective solution for music videos; the only thing it is ridiculously small and most of the 'artists' will not take you seriously, so yeah, shooting on Red adds to your resume you want it or not, but your demo and your price are the two major decision making factors, good luck, and post some music videos!
  16. it's the same sensor as c100, but mk ii has slightly better codec @35Mbps, vs 28Mbps on mk1, slightly better ergonomics and AF included in the price , which is not always 100% reliable, still, for events would be my choice #1; if majority of your work are events and weddings , C100 is very capable camera with fantastic low light performance and you wouldn't need another camera to shoot a music video, but if you seriously thinking to branch out you'll need a camera with lower compression and decent slow mo, take a look at Red, you can get used, ready to shoot Scarlet for around the same money, but that's completely different level of image acquisition. Although you need to be comfortable with the codec - R3D, there are samples in the raw files section of this forum, as well as on the web, but be warned, for me personally, and for many others, opening R3Ds in NLE of your choice becomes a no-return-point after you try it and see how much abuse it can take -:
  17. perfect choice, you would miss it like crazy, i know i do, will never sell any glass again
  18. Andrew, my friend, are these M4/3? I remember you said s35 PL might be coming too, is it still in the plan?
  19. so Zunov is for consumers and p.o.s. cavision for pros? Richard, what are you talking; well, anyways, keep shooting with this WA nonsense
  20. Take GH4, make it full frame, add 4K 60, name it GH5 - i'll take three
  21. Redstan is very good, slightly cheaper, but also very good solution is RaftCamera
