The Cinematographer's best kept secrets. Director/Cinematographer Matthew Rosen explains how to test your camera to find out its strengths and weaknesses.
very happy to find this channel with such great information given straight forward, really dislike how everything needs to be a vlog here and vlog there. just straight to the point.
I get asked this a lot. Many of these films are comprised of material from workshops that I conduct for students, cinematographer’s, TV stations, and production houses. Some of the materials end up in other films, in other workshops and even on the syllabus of some film schools. Many groups contact me and ask me for permission to show them and often I will send the high-resolution film. When uploading to RU-vid I often use a low-resolution version as a way to protect the IP. Hope this does not bother you too much, and I hope the content outweighs the low quality.
+KINETEK For me it works! You really know how to get your point across and to be precise. So far I've never had the problem of you trying to show something be me not being able to see it in the image. Thanks for making these videos!
The content surely outweughts the low quality, thank you for sharing all these techniques and tricks, your videos are very informative and mind-opening!
Have to agree - I went to switch to 1080 and saw that the resolution threshold was 480! Is this fear of having people steal your material? What a shame, as it's impossible to see "quality differences" when the video examples are basically all "low quality." Thanks for your work nonetheless.
What about the lenses that you have used in this comparison? Did you actually use the same lens on all cameras to give us a better insight about the quality of the footage or there were used different lenses?
What was you iso on the blackmagic during 5 stops under? my experience with my pocket cinema cam was i shot in lowlight at 1600 then i adjusted th brightness,contrats. i got good results but the blacks is grainy
Which format was used on blackmagic? I owned it earlier, and in all formats it was completely truncated shadows with lots of noise near them. Even if I underexpose it on 1 stop, the shadow area of faces was grainy. Very strange results you've got...
BMPC4k's real native ISO is 400 not 800. If you shoot at 400 you'll be safe. otherwise the signal is amplified on the hardware end and you have to force it back down otherwise the noise will kill a lot of shots.
Does anyone has some lectures to do about all of cinematography? I just start to watch videos on this Chanel and they are amazing but I don't quite follow everything. Sorry for the English by the way, isn't my mother tongue.
