I like the light and atmosphere. Good job with a c100. It is shot in AVCHD or Apple ProRes ?

Hi, I did for most of it yeah. But for any pick ups... after looking at the footage side by side on the computer... I just didn't bother with ninja anymore. Infact I sold it. gladly!!!
For the climax shot, the ninja actually made it worse. I didn't notice that somehow the hdmi had been bumped, so it lost its pull down or something like that, the atomos guys couldnt understand it
either and told me I must have bumped it loose, but I told them, if I did that, I would know since i daisy chained my evf pro after it... so it wasn't me!
Either way, that experience has really burnt me with hdmi pro res. Never again! c300 next time, I just keep using the c100 without it.

So for my climax shot, I had field lines!! Like, I bumped it sometimes too and it completely stopped... which is 'fine' cos you can just put it back in... oh and btw that was with
those secure hdmi cables you can buy, perfect path i think its called. Even with that, it lost signal sometimes. Very annoying.
So yeah for that climax shot I ended up using the avchd. Then I realised, i would only ever need that pro res if i was shooting really high iso or not lighting properly anyway
(im talking 12800 or more). So, rather than fix a **** shot in post, I went with avchd and no joke the pickups looked so much better with a few more lights instead of
pissing around with that ninja, they looked so good I had to grade them worse to match the surrounding shots!!!!

As it turns out, I went and reshot the whole climax scene anyway, and to me they are the best looking shots. All avchd. I know im repeating myself alot here :) just trying to make my point.
