Hi everyone,
this little commercial is my final work as a student here in Germany.
First of - I want to thank all people who gave me their time and skills to make this little video happen...is was a small crew...believe me.
I used the Sony Nex-7, to see if I can hit the nail on it´s head with this little camera - and oviously....no comment!
It was meant as a challenge...U know?
I wish used for example the FS100....but as the word says: "Learning by doing" or "learning by mistakes!!!
Why was it a mistake to use a camera like the Sony NEX-7 for such a project, where lowlight holds the letters "A" and "O" and you have to key out the greenscreen under such circumstances?
1. Lowlight is not the best
2. Codec (compared to the FS100) - breaks up pretty quickly
Why was it used?
1. Challange
2. 1080p@50fps
3 Too fast - too furious!
Andrew from SLR-Magic kindly provided me with the excellent 50mm T0,95 CINEPRIME which arrived with a PERFECT timing for the shoot....thank you for the serious service and fast shipping Andrew!
It is clear, that the Hyper-Prime couldn´t be used for the wideangle-shots....but you will clearly see where the Slr-Magic T0.95 was used, as it is an incredibly fast lens with extreme shapness even-wide open (the grain-less picture will tell you)....BUT....during the shoot, I hoped more than one time, that it would have a bigger focus-ring...there are still people out there, who don´t use a follow-focus and can´t effort an arri-one...
When it comes to wide-angle-shots:
at f2.8 the maximum aperture is reached with lenses who are wider than 20mm (x 1.5 on APS= 30mm). I had the SONY G 16-50mm f2.8 and the TOKINA 11-16mm f2.8 on the SONY LA-EA2 adapter.
Nice combo - but not for low-light on the NEX-7....
The camera provides you the maximum ISO of 3200 with the sacrafice of an unhealthy amount of digital noise.
Well...at first I saw the "flat picture-profiles" and thought: WOW - this looks like a nice fresh piece of meat to work with...
As Andrew from EOSHD.com noticed, the color-sampling is definately NOT video-optimized - so hmmmm....let´s fix this in post...with a stylized color-grading.
Let´s see the tons of noise as an element of "video-art" and take the view from an independent artist...
Please try to not pixel-peep...you will find a looooot of dead pixels...
therefore I clearly mark this work as a "CONCEPT-FILM" where the idea is in the foreground - with the technical aspects in the background.
The human learns until his last breath - he/she at least could learn...
the lessons I learned from this project are:
1. Check your setup before shooting!
2. Preperation will be my second name!
3. Not every 8bit 4:2:0 signal-processing holds the same quality!
4. I need the SONY FS700!!!!!
To give you some specifications:
Camera: SONY NEX-7
Lenses: Tokina 11-16mm 2.8, SONY 16-50mm f2.8, SLR-Magic
50mm T0.95 CINE (pre-production), Walimex 35mm f1.4
Equipment:
- ZION-Slider - 1m
A real one-take slider with the option to mount a magic-arm on the side - veeeeery practical and I really enjoyed to use it for this project.
Great service and BIG THANKS to Siegfried Friesen for the FAST and flexible shipping!!!
zionmaster.de
- Glidecam HD-2000: I love this steadycam!
- Omnitracker Slim-Line Pro omni-tracker.com
- Edelkrone Rig + Indian Parts (the follow-focus was simply a piece of ....this is why I preferred to focus without it.
Sound: Olympus LS-5 but I found the onboard mic of the NEX-7 seems pretty useful...am I wrong?
Software: Premiere Pro - MBL - AE
Music:
1. Track: Unknown...but very dynamic
(if you now the artist, please let me know)
2. Tito & Tarantula: After Dark
Long words - short message:
I hope you enjoyed the "CONCEPT"
Thank you for watching!
