cameraman/director of photography shooting RED
ONE also available -
Rental price included with camera person labor. RED one DP includes includes
camera assistant, and larger HD crews. A cost effective to alternative
the RED Camera with less capabilities, but still possessing 35mm depth
of field are the Canon EOS 7D and 5D II SLR HD cameras producing a rather
cinematic HD picture at full 1920x1080. The RED camera demands more intensive
post production process and larger video servers to edit the footage without
performance problems. Digital SLR cameras have limitations compared to
RED ONE HD however please call Nick for more information.
Additional
Canon 7D with
level cam stabilizer,
monopod or tripod with flash reader for digital cinema. This can be a
good A camera pending your motion needs, and good B camera for HD video
production. Other camera peripherals are included including external
sound recording equipment, lighting and rig support enabling better usage
of the Canon SLR HD cameras. Canon SLR HD cameras have limitations to
RED One or other higher end cinema cameras, however are cost effective
for producing great high definition footage in 1920x1080 - 24p, 25p or
30fps progressive. Most newer Mac & Mac Book pro systems can handle
full raster digital SLR HD footage without performance problems. A quick
list of details at Google
for camera reference.
Standard Definition Camera Equipment & Reference:
A)
Sony D30 BetaCam SP
is
a videotape format camera still popular and professional.
A)
Firestore:
As a cameraman I and my camera crew often also use the FS100 Firestore
with the HDX900 that records HD or SD in several formats from QuickTime,
AVI, DV, DVCPRO 25 or 50, DVCPRO HD and docks to a DV or DVCPRO HD camera.
It's a great use for the HDX900 camera as a digital download, with a HD
tape backup capability. Why use a FireStore - it currently has a larger
capacity for video than P2 and can also be used with a DVCPRO HD or SD
camera to back up the tape or vise versa.
B) Convergent
Designs NanoFlash recorder - which docks to HDV cameras, or the HDX900
or HDCAM (with upgrade) XDCAM cameras or other cameras with HD
SDI or HDMI
ports ! Making recording HD or SD video to compact flash cards is a breeze.
Pump up your HD video with this little beauty; recording a variety of
high
definition formats and standard definition formats. What are the advantages
of high speed flash cards to record video & HD video - bring your
laptop or external hard drive and take the footage back to your editor
without additional P2 card or SxS card readers - just a compact flash
reader or use your laptop port to download video. Look
at your HD video on your laptop on the plane and start your EDL, ftp
your video to your editors to get a jump. With more flash cards makes
video swapping footage faster + makes more sense as well + no need to
go to lunch for 2 hours either - get your high definition footage. See
some NanoFlash
sample footage in native MXF or QuickTime (same footage shot with
Sony or Panasonic cameras like XDCAM or P2 editing importing easy to NLE
native working in AVID
or Final
Cut Pro). All this mumbo jumbo? - it's easy to bring the footage right
into AVID or Final Cut Pro with no tech support calls.
