Here's my situation:
I'm coming up on a few short weeks till I shoot my senior film here at the Savannah College of Art & Design. My DP is great...at 35mm. The plan has been to shoot 35mm, as we had a connection to get about 14000ft for free. We were rockin'.
Of course, as it happens, our 14000 ft quickly became "a few rolls" and now we're shooting CineAlta. The problem? My DP, while trained on the CineAlta, doesn't like the camera. He'll shoot it, because he's my DP and he has faith in the project, but he's a film snob, and really has no passion for video. Unless it's the ridiculously expensive ViperCam.
One of the things I've been searching for are good lens kits that I can rent for the week we shoot, and an adapter to make that possible. If you know anything about that sort thing, feel free to reply.
However, what I'm really looking for are some Scene Files for the CineAlta. Honestly, if I could find the look I wanted, before we head out to set, then I'd be pleased as punch. Specifically, I'd love something that shot a "fat negative" sort of image, that would allow room for manipulation in post-production.
But, I'm not adverse to shooting "in camera," and have been scouring the web for Scene Files for the CineAlta. Alas, I've found such for VariCam or JVC cameras and others, but I've had no luck for the CineAlta yet.
Anyone have any ideas?
