Hey man. I liked this a lot and it got me interested in the whole story, so the trailer's main goal succeeds with me :-) It also showcases a lot of technical skill and polish (aerial shots, editing, grading and varied camera work/movements). If there's anything to critique, I'd second @mercer's point. The antagonist / danger is somewhat unclear at the moment we see her hiding (0:47-0:51) so perhaps a slight reorder might be even more effective. Another thing I realized when I watched it again, is that we only hear the score. Some ambient sound could elevate tension even more (running footsteps, breathing, screaming etcetera). But I realize that adds a bunch of work... Keep us posted on your progress, looks great!

F3 seems to tick the most of your boxes. 10-bit 4:4:4, insane DR, excellent in low light, 60p, great motion cadence, impressive battery life, XLRs, and can be had for ~$1500. 
Otherwise, the Kinemini with 4K upgrade will fulfill most of your wish list, although its low light performance isn't up to the F3's standard.

Shot in 2 weeks on a Blackmagic 4.6K and a Sony A7r 2 with Voigtlander Lenses. Aerial video on a DJI Phantom 3. Rip it to shreds!

You might just be able to get a FS700 + Odyssey 07Q at around £4k.
That checks a hell of alot of boxes, and with raw or raw to prores, you can get past the sony colour issues pretty easily.
4K, 120fps, decent low light, raw, 12+ stops DR... much smaller than Red ONE.

Looks good. Great job. The slog, g-film, settings you cooked up matched perfectly with the Ursa.

Shot with my 20, 28, 40, 58, and 90mm Voigtlander Lenses with the Blackmagic 4.6K and Sony A7r 2.
 
 

Yeah I felt the same, I didn't have final say in the trailer cut. Was responsible for the visuals only, not anything else

My first video review, shot on the X-T2
 

I voted for the EM1.2 since its the first serious entry into the video world from Olympus, being a new player like the XT2, that's most interesting to me. The a6500 video is identical to the a6300, there's no difference from an imaging standpoint, and we've seen the IBIS in the a7rII for a year and a half. The Panasonic is a known commodity as well since the GX80/85 has been around for awhile. M5 is a mirrorless 80d, yawn. 5d4 is only meh.
Just my opinion.

I have the lens and it is great when you want that soft cinema look, but it is terrible with light sources in the frame. Good for commercial work it is not.

Wanted to show everyone this. Recorded a interview entirely with a Voigtlander 40mm and SLR Magic Anamorphot. Think at least visually it turned out well, used stabilization a bit to excessively.
 
 

I am impressed with how little rolling shutter it seems to have in 4K.
A much better option than a Sony A6500 for handheld shooting, I think.

Hey guys Keh.com has an insane deal going on right now on old lenses 25% off everything.

The opposite of Canon, you want to expose the image as much as possible before you clip the highlights. In my experience you HAVE to lower dark areas. Never raise them or you will get noise. 1600 has a large amount of fixed pattern noise. The URSA has a lot of space to play with the highlights, very little for shadows.

The magic word you are looking for is PDAF - a7SII only has CDAF

well the a7sii isn't known to be very good at af even with native lenses is it? I think the mc-11 only works good with a7ii, a7rii and 16300

I have been filming weddings for 10 years. Ask yourself:
Am I beauty or am I documentary?
If you are beauty then go with full frame (doesn't matter by whom, get shallow DOF).
If you are doc, then get a c100.
Develop an instinct for schedule changes. eg. When everyone is going to the next room, and when. Even if on paper,, it always changes. Ask people where they are going and why.
Coordinate with the bride's best friend. Groom knows nothing and his friends are there to get wasted.
Develop a signal so your. B cam can. Go wide when u go telephoto eg. Ring on finger
Everything on slider, tripod or gimbal. Go hand held at your own peril.
Seek perfection.
Oh, and don't fuck up the dance by being embarrassed to light it.
 

I use to use Music Bed all of the time, but this year I had an employee contact me. She was asking me if I could help out by telling her more about the project that I was working on. The musician that wrote the track I used wanted more pieces to show their music with. So I told her about the project. She started investigating into employee counts etc... Anyhow, it turned out that I had the count wrong so I owed another 100 or so dollars. It was my mistake, but I found it very sinister and devious the way she approached the whole thing. It left a bad taste... 
So that being said, here are the places that I have been using every since:
https://www.pond5.com
http://www.art-list.io/
http://www.premiumbeat.com/
http://freemusicarchive.org/
http://www.epidemicsound.com/
And I also hire musicians to create custom tracks or contact people directly about licenses.
 

FS5 if you need 4K, use Shogun to get 10-bit compressed version of the raw stream. Main option unless you go $10,000+ for a complete package.

He has $100k and he thinks my C-LOG profile is too expensive at $15.
And then he expects help from my forum.

Idk, if I had that kind of money and needed/wanted 4K, I would probably go with one of the Blackmagic Cameras... probably the BM 4K Production camera... or maybe the new Terra and then I would put the rest of my camera budget into my short/feature production budget because you'll always need more...
or maybe even rent the camera for the narrative and commercial work and then buy a C100ii for your bread and butter work. But to be honest, if you can't make a good narrative short on the C100ii, you probably can't make a good short.
Have you considered 5D mk iii ml raw for a short? Honestly one of the most beautiful images I have ever seen.

Joining a forum and lying about your intentions is a really a shitty way to market your product.
If you want to get the word out about your products in a forum, do a Q&A in a thread or something - and BE HONEST about your intentions.
