That's a sweet setup, but did they have to stick a decal on every spare inch, it looks like nascar.

you're right, DCERVENKA to post here nice pictures you like and the pictures ARE definitely nice....
As there was a link to that page in this forum about 3 weeks ago, I just want quit talking about the beauty of that full-cine-equimpent and start thinking serioulsy about it... and THEN it seems to me to expensive for the content but the enterprise seems really to have big intention to rent out the packages.

not impossible - perhaps really the full range for any case? But what besides polarizer, ND and star-effect would you seriously use? - Do you guys use that ugly graduated colorfilters? Or color filters in general? - Isn't it cheaper and easier to do it in post, concentraded and with direct references? - And doesn't a graduated color filter destroy even the best and most expensive Mercedes commercial, only because the trees in the background have sepia tips?
Perhaps it's just a dozen of optical-cleenex....

Some things just can't be done in post adequately. And I'd rather have a collection of filters on hand, especially when you have a matte box, then try to fix it in post.
What I meant (about color filters) was:
- filters will increase the risk of picture faults as reflexions (even with matte box)
- filters are just another part that needs to be 200% clean and free of dust, dirt, limespots from water, dirtspots from water(rain)drops, etc. and cleaning it always will produce inequal microscratchings etc. I'm exagerating, but it just means: TIME during shooting
- not only the care, but also filter installation needs time during shooting
- the filter just has 1 fix temperature - the post-production filter has millions of temperatures!
Concerning the graduated filters:
Even in movies, they use graduated filters and don't care about green trees with sepia-tips! - It just looks CHEAP!! - In post, you can lay a mask over the horizon and so you will have your car-commercial with a purple sky and yet green trees. The Graduated filter has it's use - but I think: only with straight horizons! Either you want to paint the sky, or the whole picture, but no half-sepia trees please!
So, it's cheaper and cleaner to do it in post AND you can lean back in your chair and try different temperatures and compare them to referents (e.g. other scenes, objects).
But the matte-box as a light-shade is certainly a good thing to increase picture's quality as it is a compendium.
The LCD screen is a good accessory too and I'd like to have one.
