film out will look softer than direct digital projection…

Hey,

this might seem like an amateur but if the 7d (Video) files are transferred to 35mm film, would the focus sometimes appear softer? Also, is there a way around it.

Say Pete, how are you coming on green screen with Canon DSLR? Watching that myself. The challenge for me is the camera only does up to 12 minutes in HD, not long enough for the interviews I want to do. Looking at MXO2 for budget.

Any luck in the last 5 months?

Question:
For a short narrative film, with 25% action sequences (including glide cam – no sg blade on it for balance reasons), being shot in a third world country, Black and White, mostly natural lighting, which would you recommend a 7d or an ex3 with SG Blade and Zeiss primes? Image resolution is important as it might be transferred to film later.
Thanks,
Bert

Hi, which f-stop were you generally using for the exterior closeups on people’s faces?

Do you know for a fact that 7d>HDMI>MX02>ProRes works for 4:2:2 w/o any problems? that would be a perfect workflow for me here in our green screen studio.

thanks

go into live view settings and make sure it is set to movie display and not exposure simulation

Ah, I was hoping you might have heard someone else mention this. OK well, I’m going to borrow or rent a different lens and see if it’s my lens or the camera.

Well everytime I zoom in or out it’s darkening about a stop maybe 2, and then jumping back to normal. It’s not darkening and then staying dark it’s just fluctuating a lot. I can actually hear the iris closing then opening with every zoom, and we’ve been through the camera thoroughly it’s definitely all in manual settings.

I’ll let you know what happens with the different lens, thanks for responding.
