Are there noticeable differences in the footage between the production camera and the pre-production model? Or can it be graded out in post?

Both are preproduction units. Production models don't exist yet; if they did, they'd be selling them! :)

We used the SD card to load the scene few and equalize the cameras. Differentlenses can impart a different look to the footage so some CC will always be advisable when using different families of lenses.

Understood - just thought earlier it was mentioned one cam was a production model, and the other wasn't. So many posts - I'm having trouble keeping score.

Then we put on my Canon 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 L IS lens on the camera. (Again see Taylor's photos.) Our mount adapter didn't allow for iris control; so the lens was wide open. Again the ND wheel let us switch quickly between grass in the sun, to trees against the sky, to bushes in the shadows. At f400mm full telephoto (800mm equivalent), it wasn't quite as long as the 600mm Sigma; but the Canon L -series glass was super sharp. Once we focused (with the help of the awesome focus-in-red feature) on part of a tree about a quarter mile away, we could just imagine the Leopard dozing on the branch in the sun. Nature Doc shooters are going to LOVE this camera.

Mikko, would love to see a frame grab or two from the Canon lens, if you've got any from the footage. Sounds incredible.
 
Perhaps if time allows a short sequence showing graded edited shot then show ungraded edited shot. That would be very useful.
 
hey!

here's the first batch of quick-n-dirty edites from my visit to the set. highlights include several lovely shots of my personal hero, Barry, who found my iPhone in a hayfield. . . .and my winning shot of Mikko in our "quick draw" contest.

NIKON RULEZ!

Yes, the link is not working...

COPY & PASTE does work, that's true.

Not any more, though...

. There's a shot I did yesterday that involved me jumping over an actor with the Steadicam ... a stunt move that I last remember doing with the Flyer and a light camera - not something I'd feel so good doing with a big heavy digital cinema or film camera. The size really changed the pace of things, back down to the speed of fast, almost "run and gun" style shooting at times; but still delivering top notch results. - Mikko

Mikko, is the Flyer what you're using here?

And in one of the early interior photos, someone's handholding a Steadicam (no sled), was that a Merlin?

Thanks, can't wait to see your moves!
