    2k raw or prores 4k?

    ​it was harsh and much of his advice wasn't terribly helpful anyways (but he's right about media... it's dirt cheap especially if you're considering shooting on an f55, you can afford hard drives). do you need to master at 4k for distribution purposes? what type of shoot is it? int, ext, etc? lot's of factors could go into what I would choose. Jimmy probably had the closest advice to how I feel about shooting, so +1 for that.

    as for the aspect ratio, i always feel that 2.35:1 is much more cinematic, and certainly adds a lot to a productions feel especially if you're already working on a limited budget.

    ​Most of the film is int, that's why I'm leaning towards 4k prores. I have two short ext scenes, one day and one night.

    I'd be worried if you were my DP............

     

    Also the Director will tell you what aspect and settings the film should be in, you as a DP should only give suggestion and explain why if it differs. Without knowing anything about the film I would shoot 4k ProRes and any scenes that you need the extra Dynamic Range I would shoot in 2/4K Raw. Hard Drives are cheap, VERY CHEAP so make sure that's factored into the budget of the film. You don't want media to be a reason to slow you down, even if shooting on a low budget....

    ​Then good thing I'm not your DP.
    I'm pretty confident in my skills, so thank you, I don't need your opinion about that - especially without you seeing any of my work.
    The film is a graduate film in film school, and I've shot a few already.

    I asked about aspect ratio just because there isn't a lot of awareness here to that subject. Most of the cinematheque's screens here are 1.85. We hope the film will be screened in festivals around the world as well though, and I'm wondering what's the best format for it. My main problem with 2.35 is the major crop it gets if we broadcast the movie on T.V.
    Regarding the F55, we might be able to lend it for free, I wouldn't rent an F55 if I don't have the budget for HDDs.

    I'm in the process of checking if I need a master in 4k, for the meanwhile the main benefit is the extra detail.

    Hey all,
    I'm the DP of a short narrative film that is to be shot in about one month,
    I'll probably shoot using sony FS700+odyssey7q and a set of zeiss CP.2 (there might be an option for sony F55, but then I won't be able to use the e-mount lenses),
    I need to decide if I want to shoot 2k raw or 4k prores (can't shoot 4k raw due to storage shortage).
    Plus, haven't decided yet if I should shoot 1.85 or 2.35 aspect ratio,

    any thoughts?
