Wow that was nice.

 

[Sttratos]

Looks very similar to Cafe Society. If you liked that look...

 

[DLD]

Well, the same DP as in "Cafe Society".

 

[Sttratos]

Yes I'm aware both are shot by Storaro.

 

[fatman]

both used f65? I'd like to know why the choice unless that's his preferred or go-to cam.

Regarding his choice of F65 for Cafe Society:

Storaro, who has long been examining digital production technology, decided to take the plunge with Cafe Society, using Sony's top-of-the-line F65 4K camera (along with its sister, the lighter F55, for use on a Steadicam). "A few years ago, it was film or digital; it was a difficult choice," he says. "Producers thought [digital] was cheaper — not true. Or it's faster — not true. [But] when Woody called me (this was also Allen's first digital feature), I said, 'You can't stop progress.' When I met the Sony F65, I said, 'This is the camera we are supposed to use.'"

Describing the F65 as “the best quality today in the market" for a digital cinematography camera, he continues: “I always thought the minimum quality should be 4K 16-bit color. Companies should deliver equipment so that we can record the largest amount of information possible, [and cinematographers can then decide what we want to use] according to the story."

No question the Sony CineAlta line delivers beautiful footage...after the F35, the F65 is probably the next logical step....and becoming "affordable" on the used market.

Why doesn't Storaro think digital is cheaper?

Looks great! The F65 is a fantastic camera, delivers true 4K downsampled from "8K" (ish). Ever since Lucy, I've been a big fan of this camera for top-of-the-line color and real, actual detail (I shoot on C300 II and 1DX II and similar (sold A7S, A7SII: re:skintones), however F35 & F65 have fantastic color science, very competitive to ARRI (perhaps even better) for color (ARRI probably has edge on DR and maybe highlights), and delivering actual 4K vs. Alexa SXT and below (ARRI 65 can deliver real 4K (unlike even the new 4.4K ARRI LF (need at least 5.7K Bayer sensor to get True 4K (deBayer, Nyquist))).

Wonder what impact Venice will have on the 2ndhand market, might push down the price of the F65 even further.
