Apertus Project: Opinions, discussion, etc.

irregularME — Thu, 17 May 2012 14:58:51 +0000

I thought in this section there should be a discussion about the Apertus Project. ( http://www.apertus.org/ )

It sounds, at least for me, very promising and down to the ground and not too hipster like the digtial bloex, (which is, with all respect, beautyful).

However, what are your opinions on it? After all, there is a lot going in the 4k sector and raw cinema development.

5D2 (non raw) For short film project, Need advice please

So I have a web project coming up that would really benefit from using a full frame sensor. I own a Canon 5d2 (w/ml/non raw), and a set of Samyang Cinema lenses. I know all to well about the moiré issues on the 5d2, which actually isn't a big deal for this shoot as it's a controlled environment. Raw is out of the question as the motion cadence looks choppy and horrible, at least it did a few weeks ago. Ideally I would normally grab the gh2 or g6 and go wide. But it still wouldn't have the full frame look that I have in mind. It's low budget, which means if I were to rent, it would be coming out of my pocket, as I figured my day rate with my bought and paid for camera package. However, It's been a long while since using my canons for paid work.

After shooting mostly with Panasonic cameras, and so use to a super sharp image, I'm not sure what people think about the 5d2 these days for web delivery? A few years back, it seems like everyone was requesting the 5d2, but things have changed, is it still an acceptable image today? Should I shoot a test for the client, or am I overly critical of the softer image compared to the gh2? I can drive myself crazy with this shit. Just looking for opinions and advice from my peers thanks

Hey guys, I'm doing a project for my design class at UNI where we have to design a magazine spread. I was going to design one about cinema cameras and was wondering if any of you had and high-res pictures I could use? anything of cameras, preferably higher end stuff like alexa, red, sony f55 etc. Or if you happen to own one of those cameras if you could just take a picture for me you'd be awesome.

thanks guys!

Basicly he is putting a color filter in front of the lense to move the exposure of red and blue channel up some stops. Then in post he is trying to fix the tint. Does this make sense? Wouldn´t setting a "wrong" white balance have the same effect?
