Showtime's "The Franchise" Using AF100

[groveChuck]

Showtime's BTS look at the Miami Marlins baseball team debuts on July 11 (Wednesdays).
Looks like he needs a Z finder or DP4 on the shoulder mount (which mount is it?)- that's a tough shooting position on the neck... but has a Marshall for interviews and tripod.

This preview has a scene in post asking if a shot "is Varicam or DSLR?", so they use a variety of cameras, including the AF100.
They shoot "100s and 100s of hours per episode".

Thanks for the heads up. I will check it out.

But you do realize we'll have to treat it like Zacuto's Revenge of the Great Camera Shootout and pick which shot is DSLR, Varicam and AF100, don't you?

Yikes! I don't know if I have the required sleuthing capacity to deconstruct the setup and shots of some of the early guessers at Zacuto. Hell, I had to watch it twice to find the iPhone!

No, I was expecting Showtime to put "AF-100" or "5D" in the bottom right corner as each scene changed... Is that not going to happen?

As if sleuthing ability is actually required???

I thought we'd get "The following segment is brought to you by Panasonic AF100..."

1 hour premiere tonight (Wed), 10pm Showtime (which I don't get- a friend's DVRing for me, hopefully).

7 half-hour episodes to follow...

The Marlins are slumping/sliding, so perhaps that will provide some drama? Well, that, and Ozzie Guillen praising Castro in Miami...

With the very different cameras, it will be interesting to see how consistent the grade is.

That guy needs an a DP4 or something because he does not look comfortable with his head like that. Sheesh.
