Why will them choose to shoot with an FX3 instead for a massive CGI movie instead of a Venice, or FX6/9, etc?; The fx3 hasn´t enough latitude, and has an active electronic denoise filter that makes the image looks totally video and probably its causes some issues with led dome. Maybe they used it in some shots, but the entire movie?... Is it possible? For sure, but seems risky even is well know that Greig Frasers has a strong indie background, and for example in The Batman shots with vintage lenses... But, I´m sorry but i can´t believe it without checking this info. I´m sure if this was true Sony´s PR would come out with a featurette about this, maybe in the future, or maybe not, but i´ll put this info on hold until further confirmation.

Surprising or innovative. There are thousands of movies where we know well in advance that they are shooting Arri, or iMAX, or red, etc. So why the secrecy? I hear everything you're saying, and as stated in the video, things could have changed. But I'm fairly certain Fraser was talking about this film when discussing "shooting the entire movie on an FX3" in Thailand. I am curious why IMDb says Sony raw 4.2k. who knows. Maybe it's inaccurate, or Maybe they used a modded version of the FX3 with unreleased firmware, and they have some partnership w Sony that will come out closer to the film. It's still really early days, I'm sure. I guess we'll all find out. It's worth noting too, that at the time that Oren Soffer said the above quote, the specs were still Arri 65 and FX3. So it's possible that the Arri 65 is the inaccurate part.

@@raquetamalvada Form the little inside info I have with the crew, the whole thing was shot on the FX3. There are probably some inserts that where shot with other cameras - just like with any film - the same camera is never used for the entire production, 2 or 3 shots from other cameras will sneak in there, but the FX3 seems like the best choice for the film. 1) Fraser said that he wanted low light capability, the FX3 has 12800 iso, and the FX9 doesn't, so that rules the FX9 out. The FX6 is pretty much the same sensor, but is a horrible camera to rig out if you want a more custom build, so as an AC I'd prefer the FX3 if I'm doing any advanced rigging.

Personally I love when prosumer cameras are used for big Hollywood films. Something about it feels like an underdog story to me. I think back to when Gareth used the Sony EX3 coupled with a Letus 35 to make monsters and it looked pretty great, and then I look back to 28 days later shot on a Canon Xl1 and it gives you that inspiration to take your inexpensive camera and go shoot amazing films.

4 years on Panasonic cameras, I made the switch over to Sony after getting hired by a few production companies in my area for B-Cam/BTS. Started with the A7IV which almost felt like a step back for me, aside from usable autofocus(rolling shutter was rough) One day, I noticed my local camera shop was selling an FX3 with 3 Sony batteries for $2900 so I decided to pick it up. Really thankful and it was Money well spent, as it really opened up my chances to get on sets as a proper B-Cam to FX6s and even the Venice which have matched up with it nicely.

I love it. In 2023, specs-wise you can get more bang for buck out of something like a Lumix s52 x, which just released. In terms of camera sensitivity with the ISOs, I think the sony's are the only ones in this class. In general, there are lots of cameras that are just as good as the FX3. It's just a fun little camera, with a really nice form, factor and body, and great specs for a good image. Came right after the A7S3 which was when Sony finally embraced internal 10-bit 422, and new color science, which allowed you to actually take full use of the dynamic range. Before that you really couldn't. So I would say before the A7S3 and FX3, Sony cameras really were lacking in features. And other camera systems were way ahead, those two cameras mark a delineation point for actual professional functionality

Today I have to set aside my Nikon F2a for my Sony digital cameras. What I like about this move to shooting with less expensive, yet professional quality cameras is it is a challenge to us to make movies, shorts, etc. with far less expensive cameras like Sony's tiny ZV-E10. I've seen many videos on YT done by a number of people using the E10. Unbelievable the quality of something that costs $700.

I'll keep on tweaking and think about how to light the scene to achieve the desired look I have in my head. But more often than not I don't have enough time to achieve the look. Close but not the one I wanted. And I think, color grading is the saviour of these lacks. I blame myself for that.

It’s weird how we select tools. I nearly got an FX3/FX6 but ProRes Raw cannot work with Davinci natively without some possible conversions with potential drawbacks. Ended up with a Komodo and have been very happy with it for three years now. We need to stop obsessing over brands. Steve Yedlin correctly points out how futile brand allegiance is when most cameras now can capture enough data to create identical looks in the color pipeline. I would have been just as happy with Sony ProRes raw, or Fuji XH2, or canon c70. They all produce fantastic images. Now let’s go make great films.

Yeah, I think brands mattered until about 2ish years ago when every camera got at least 10bit log. Once DaVinci got Color Space Transform it all really stopped mattering. The one thing that was flawed in Steve Yedlin's argument at the time was that you couldn't change color science. Not without advanced tetra math, coding and nuke. Now DaVinci has CST and DCTLS, so the sky is the limit in terms of a cameras inherent photographic look being manipulated. But to my knowledge, prior to Yedlin, every DP including Deakin's was just building LUTs on top of the existing color science of the cameras, so despite LUTs and grades, cameras really did have "looks". When it comes to red vs arri though, the choice more often came down to workflow and ease of use. Especially in that 2010 - 2016 era. Yedlin gets real nerdy on this on the Masters of Color podcast. And he even conceded that DPs were stuck w inherent color science of the cameras in the early days of digital

I am a bit curious about the anamorphic look here. Especially thinking back on Rogue One. In Rogue One, they used refurbished 1.25x anamorphic lenses (they resurfaced thanks to Hateful Eight). But it was a regular 2.4:1 scope release instead of the full 2.76:1 that the lenses was originally made for on 65mm cameras. My guess has been that they used the 1.9:1 standard crop of the camera instead of the full 2.20:1 (I think that particular Arri camera was 65mm equivalent in sensor size). Because that way the resulting image is so close to 2.40:1 that the crop is insignificant. But here. The trailer and the IMDB specs lists it as 2.76:1. This makes me curious. The bokeh is very oval. Maybe even 2x anamorph ovality (probably not a word). The IMDB page doesn't say yet what kind of anamorphics are used. Quick math says that a 1.5x anamorph on a 1.9:1 sensor gets an image very close to 2.76:1. They are easier to find on prosumer levels as well. But then again. Maybe I'm overthinking it. Maybe they are regular 2x anamorphs and they shot in 4:3 sensor. That gives a 2.67:1 image. Close to the final crop of 2.76:1. Anyone knows more? I'm just guessing wildly here.

Can't say I agree with your view on long vs wide lenses. Long lenses compress stuff and make them look flat, wide makes it expansive.
@ScottJeschke
Жыл бұрын
I agree w compression, but compression from a great distance makes background look huge next to mid and foreground. There's a shot of Paul in the Dune 2 trailer that really demonstrates this. Or the ET flying across the moon shoot for instance. Moon looks massive compared to the way that it would versus on a wide lens. I agree that wide lenses do a good job capturing scope. Wide lenses from a good distance w the right foreground placement do a good job capturing scale though

@Scott Jeschke I find it can work if you make sure there's some good midground, or ideally a good ground plane in the shot. Otherwise it can look like a cheesy A over B carrldboard cut out comp. If an object in the background is so massive that it still dominates with a wide angle lens, then it looks MASSIVE. To me anyway.

But it’s way they use the long lenses. The relationship between the subject the object or background and the subject’s proximity to camera. It makes us feel we are there experiencing the scale of the situation. The wide often disconnects us from that experience. It can achieve a certain scope but the feeling is different.

The rest of it was very beige and smeary. Super indistinct and could have been shot pretty much anywhere due to the super shallow depth of field. Throw some sand down on a parking lot, set the lens to T1.3 and have at it. Why bother shooting in Jordan if you can't ever see anything?

The FX3 is a capable camera no doubt. But let’s not forget, this movie is a “big budget” Hollywood production… on average, big budget productions are working with more than $100,000,000… The camera is but a single element within the production. In a project of this scope every element of the shoot is controlled. And when that footage goes into post, professional colorists and VFX teams are working with it. It’s not so much about the camera, but more about the overall production. Just watch the credits roll till the end to understand how many people come together to make a project like this come to life.

Plenty of examples of big budget films shot on low cost cameras for various reasons if you really look hard. And plenty shot on the most expensive format Film. But I need to point out that the intermediate budget is why the high end “Venice” LF etc exist. When you need to work fast the Venice having built in 1 stop ND’s saves time, the reliable workflow and forgivingness of the latitude gives you comfort in many situations. I agree you can used any modern camera to make a big budget film and sup it up to support large Pany anamoric lenses and wireless video and FF. But when you have an intermediate budget the things built into the Venice or LF save you time and money. It’s a mistake to shoot a movie you have 9 days to make on a camera that’s not reliable fast and easy to use and many pro-sumer cameras are just that, unreliable slower to use and more difficult Those bells and whistles aren’t just there for show on high end cameras - they are worth every penny

IMDB no longer shows the ARRI Alexa 65 in the specs. Nor does it show the FX3, but it still shows 4.2K in Sony Raw. This would indicate that it was in fact shot on the FX3. Maybe they are hesitant about admitting a Hollywood Blockbuster was shot on a $3900 camera.

The Mercury's 1.5x squeeze combined with the FX3 sensor would produce something close to that odd 2.76:1 ratio they are showing. If they can't talk about it yet could that mean that the specs are somewhat controversial, like maybe FX3s and Atlas Mercury lenses? Here's hoping. Thanks for posting the video, Scott.

“Black Swan” was filmed with a Canon 7D. “Captain America 1” was filmed with a Canon 5D Mark II.

@@ScottJeschke Yes you are correct, the subway shots, some of the tracking shots, and some of the shots that included green screen work in “Black Swan” was shot in the Canon 7D and the post production team literally had to degrade the 7D footage to match 16mm, then send it into a 2k master. With Cap America a lot of the motorcycle scenes in the forest fight were on the 5D Mark II but unless you’re a trained professional most audiences cannot actually tell which shot was from the Alexa and which was the 5D. If your post processing execution is good enough, and with the correct lighting you can do wonders with cameras that you can go out and buy at Best Buy. Production setup is more important than camera sensor and most of ALL prosumer available cameras in the $800-$2000 range are more powerful than what pros had to use up to the year 2010 Keep up the good work I like your videos a lot 👍👍👍

"For by him were all things created..." - Colossians 1:16 KJV "In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace" - Ephesians 1:7 KJV The Holy Bible says that you are a sinner, and without Jesus Christ, you will die in your sins and spend eternity burning in Hell. There is no sin that can enter Heaven. You must have your sins washed in the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ; he shed his blood for you on the cross of Calvary. Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven - you must turn to him, trust him, believe on him and him alone for the salvation of your soul. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law." - Romans 3:23-28 KJV
