I find being out in the land, experiencing the breathtaking beauty inspires me to communicate it and similarly inspire the viewer. There are almost no boring landscapes, whether its prairie or the Rocky Mountains. The challenge is getting into it and effectively communicating it to the viewer. "my biggest one is guilt at spending more time away from my family." I hear you there and it's probably my biggest one too, unfortunately it seems unavoidable at times.

“my biggest one is guilt at spending more time away from my family.”

I hear you there and it’s probably my biggest one too, unfortunately it seems unavoidable at times.

Stay at 160 ISO for all your day ext. work and then ND down to achieve your desired f-stop. The highlight tone priority seems to only work with Canon Lenses for some reason. No I do not use it. I think you have to apply it to what you are shooting. If you want to hold more detail in the highlight than I would use the native ISO's. A new thread is great. Let me work on that.

Thanks...btw, I didn't know where to post this subject...perhaps we can start a new thread regarding these issues? Thanks again Ken Glassing Shane…you mention in you newsletter that you get more video noise while using iso 200 vs 160, and 400 vs 320 and so on…
1) Does this mean that iso 100 is noisier than iso 160?
2) Do you use the “highlight tone priority” setting?

I feel that the red channel on HD is so sensitive, this take it down a notch. We tried a raw LUT that I created in the picture style on my computer but when it came to shooting you could not gauge contrast with the LCD screen during the day. I ended up underexposing a lot of footage because it looked so washed out on the LCD. So the Neutral Picture Styles eemed to work the best. I then twixtored all of the 5D footage to convert from 30p to 24p, and then doing a film out with a 2K res at Company 3 in Santa Monica with Stefan Sonnefeld.

Great site. I have really enjoyed reading all your posts. Just 2 quick question. 1.Did you do anything special in the camera setup (picture profile) and i assume your latest project is going to be a filmout. 2.If so, could you already describe the workflow you intend on using. Thanks Adrian Cranage Hey, Shane.

I love giving back and collaborating with all of you filmmakers. In the past 5 days I have learned so much from all of you. Keep it coming and I will continue to bring you cutting edge imagery. softdistortion, I would love to see what you are doing with this camera VFX wise.

Bookmarked! If you ever do a 5D project you need a guerrilla CG/VFX sup on, let me know. ;) It’s great to see more and more pros like yourself stepping onto the web and being cool about collaborating on smaller projects.

Once I get on a feature it is difficult to keep other things going. I created this website and blog to stay in touch and to create the wave of this new technology. It is so inspiring that it is uniting the world of still photographers with cinematographers. It is so exciting and anything that I can do to embrace out of the box thinking I am in. After Terminator:Salvation I wanted to strip everything away, get back on the camera, make it more personal and be apart of a movement. softdistortion, I feel the same way, I always try to keep many irons in the fire.
