Revenge of the Great Camera Shootout - blind test

[Kholi]

Yeah but it's still entertaining so who cares....oh yeah right Kholi does. Check out "The Raid Redemption", best action film I've seen in years and shot with an AF100. It's funny that 28 days later would look much better if it was shot with an iPhone. We've reached the point now where you can shoot a blockbuster with a $700 camera and even pixel peepers won't moan about it.

LoL. Seems that even when I stop participating on the forum in general (especially tech discussions), I'm still participating.

Said it once, say it again: I don't really care what an audience thinks. I choose to shoot on what I feel comfortable with, so happens that they're also typically the tools that produce the best images. xDDD

Lol...somehow I knew Squig was going to lower you right back in...

I am enjoying reading everyone's predictions on which camera is which. I also think that camera B is viewed to be good, because you can simply see faces and detail in the shadows where others you can not. Because the scene had such a purposfully difficult set to deal with, when you see an even light you view that to be good. If this were a different shot where you didn't need detail in the shadows I think everyone's opinion might change regarding how even the light is, BUT you have to remember that it is an establishing style of shot, that follows an actor through a room. If you cannot see his face or others faces as he passes them, you perceive that to be underexposed and therefore bad.

Again I am speaking to the mindset of those that liked camera B.

I wonder what everyone will say when they find out that B is the Epic. I will have a good laugh if that turns out to be the case. The DP spoke about using HDRx and spoke about pumping in more light to deal with detail in the shadows. I don't know why everyone who thinks the GL2 is camera B forgot that part.

For what it's worth I remember liking B because of the contrast to A [being able to see the set] and at the time there were only two shots to compare. I also liked C, H and A was decent too.

This is why I like B.


It could be the IPhone or Epic or all in between.
I still like it.

B is the winner of the nofilmschool.com poll. I still don't like it.

Looking at the light set-up, I am 95% sure A is F3, so now the list is

D: IPhome
G: 7D
B: GH2
F: Alexa
H: F65
A: F3

Why were FS100 operators using ISO 1600? Unfortunately it looks like FS100 would end up I, leaving C and E for C300 and Epic

Well, I got it perfect 6-22-2012

Thank god for Haskell Wexler. You could delete all the other pat responses to the subject headings and just leave his in as the definitive word.

Hollywood cares too much what the audience thinks. That is the problem.
