    Ive searched and searched for answers on the resolution drop issue...and the only answer i get is confirmation that it happens and confirmation that the only canon dslr that it DOESNT happen on is the 7d cc

    Just a heads up to anyone reading this...searching for a 4k camera at a reasonable price... i was just studying up on the Sony AX100 which is nicely priced at 2000 dollars... HOWEVER... DO NOT BUY THIS DEVICE FOR PUPPETRY! According the the review i watched... when filming in 4k any external...

    To explain the whole panning/autofocus thing a bit more... i would like to be able to track a walking puppet across a 16 foot set and maintain focus on them whether they fall out of my line of focus or not... the more we talk about it ...the more i realize i will probably have to use some form...

    hahahhaha yeah... i would be using the kit lens for the autofocus.... and yes i realize any kit lens would not be fast to match the rokinon either...lol... the thing i dont like about the "auto" focus on the canon is that u have to physically touch the camera by hitting the shutter button to...

    Your set up sounds sweet!! I do have a konova slider that i like... but i really dont want all my stuff teetering up on boxes and and looking all makeshift.. especially since i allready own the jib and really dig the shots its given us so far... the issue isnt really the jib itself... its the...

    ps- yeah when my 60d overheated the screen went black and it wouldnt turn on until we turned it off and let it cool... the weirdest part is... it hadnt even been on for very long (i always shut it down for breaks and lighting changes) I really wish i had a cinematographer to take care of...

    I definitely agree about the lighting... I am actually planning to install permanent lighting via a ceiling rig in each of our 3 studio rooms... but i really really want to stick with the LED units... i am going to mount 3 of them permanently on the green screen... along with a hair light... and...

    I keep hearing alot of talk about the 4k... but i am curious if it even matters when our main outlet for displaying it is youtube. I figured their compression would ruin it? My 60d which is brand new heated up on us and had to be shut down for a couple hours....so thats my driving force to move...

    Thanks for all the tips! I am not actually the one who does the visual effects so i will let him know.... The room we shoot our green screen in is set up a bit weird... we shoot from an adjacent room over a little balcony and our subjects have about 5 feet or so of space to stand in front of the...

    Yeah... we filmed with a canon 60d and later found out in post productions that DSLR's are not ideal for chroma key due to an issue with the sensor ...so i now hope to invest in a Sony FS100 (full frame 35mm sensor) ...and if that doesnt get us the results we want then i dont know what will...
