WWII documentary on FS100

[Postmaster]

Are you also the Executive Producer (aka footing the bill) as well? If so, nice job on the costumes and vehicles.


Quick tech question. Do you place the IR filter in front of the Variable ND? Can you post a link to which IR filter you use?

Thanks!

Yeah, I'm producer, director, DP and editor - typical one man show

The filter is called HELIOPAN - Digitalfilter, BLF 1x, LW -0

It also doubles as a UV filter and sits on top of the ND.

This filter has been especially designed for imaging with digital sensors since
they have a significantly higher sensitivity in the IR area then film material it
blocks both disturbing UV and IR light. The result is improved color separation
and sharpness.
The UV protection blocks UV radiation in daylight. In addition colors are
improved especially in the blue and red channels. Since artificial light contains
especially high IR radiation the filter ensures better control of the blue
channel. This dichroic coated specialty filter should not be used with extreme
wide angle lenses.

Here is the only English link I found: http://www.heliopan.de/Heliopan-Filters.pdf

Normal hot mirrors (tru cut) are made for film and are useless on digital video cameras, since they start to cut at 720 nm.
Most sensors already have a filter wit that specs anyway.
What you want is a filter that starts in the "far red" spectrum at 680

Here is some BTS and yeah, that's me riding the bumper of a pretty darn fast Jeep without any safety - but hey, it was war

Yes the Sony NEX FS100 is an amazing camera.

Yes.
In your opinion, the FS100 with an atomos ninja 2 will be a good solution ?

Yes.

I don't have that. Just the camera, a mic and some Canon FD and EF lenses. No rigging.
I record to SD cards and FCPX has to do the rest.
