Approximately £2800, I think.
Not bad, I've seen that a lot of people use this camera, I was at a wedding and the the video Grapher was using it handheld with a prime lens
Honestly, it is unparalleled as a bang for your buck camera. You're getting the performance of much larger and expensive cameras in a really manageable body. I use a Canon 80D for other work (personal branding, social media, fast turnaround stuff) and it blows my mind that the BMPCC4K is only around £250/£300 more for the body.
I want to upgrade up I suppose I'm just waiting until they announce the next bug thing, whatever it may be
I suppose I see the logic, but if you take that mentality far enough you'll be waiting forever. There's always something new and shiny around the corner, and at some point you need to pull the trigger.
I have a crane v2 and barely use it. I decided yesterday actually to take it out and have it set up for smooth time-lapse movement and try to use it more.
Yeah those guys are nice, but definitely needed only for specific shoots. I got rid of mine and picked up a pistol grip gimbal and have been using it for everything.
I just did a job for someone where I had a pretty kitted out fs7, shooting pride. We walk past another production team where they have like an a7s on a cheapo easyrig maybe a few other dohickies and the client turns to me and goes "damn now *thats* a nice rig.
That's close to what I have as my other tripod (fsb 8), if you don't need the weight, definitely get that (assuming it performs similarly), just as smooth but the variable counterbalance is so much nicer than constantly being pushed towards horizon if you don't have the exact right weight.
Haven't tried it out but have used the Ronin S a little with my Pocket 4k. It definitely tests the weight limit with a heavier lens (like Sigma 18-35mm) and counterweights. I feel like if you know the type of camera rigs you'll be building and are sure the SC can handle it, go with that. Otherwise, the S is a pretty safe choice and works flawlessly with those cams, as I understand.
Shooting with a Bolex is absolutely dreadful. The viewfinder is atrocious making it near impossible to figure out what your shooting. But having just received the scans I'm absolutely in love. It's the most beautiful format I've ever seen and I'm going to try and find an excuse to shoot every future project on 16mm.
On one of my rolls I probably messed something up, causing transporting issues. But it honestly created one of the most beautiful images I've ever shot. So I would love to know if there is a way to force this error. Does anyone know how to do this?
Truly think they're pulling a Canon and just sitting on the next release until something like this. They already have the market share, so all they have to do is respond in a somewhat timely fashion and people aren't going to want to switch models when they can just wait a few months for an a7siii
Stumbled in to check this thread out, found this post!
We were screening 6 short films in our local theater, between 5 and 30 minutes. At the end the projectionists interceded for us, since they also do a lot of student films there, I think they already had a way to screen a wider variety of files, we just handed him ProRes files.
$500 a day (roughly $50/hr, depending on your days) is pretty fair. I got an editing gig with a local studio and that's what they're paying me.
Yeah those are similar to the rates I'm working with and proposing for editing, good to know I'm not completely off the mark here re: editing rates. Guess it makes sense, dping I wind up doing a lot of 'free' work before the shoot and they're generally way more intense days than a (hopefully) chill day of editing. Just newer to it in a professional sense, so lacking frame of reference.
