Betrieb einer Varicam mit anamorphen Format-Erfassungs- und Objektivadapterbeschränkungen für eine Filmproduktion.
22 Jahre alt. Geräte und Preise können sich seitdem geändert haben.
Was die Diskussion ergab
- Die Verwendung eines Angenieux-Konverterlinsenadapters an einer Varicam bewirkt, dass Gimbal-Korrekturen gleichzeitig Tracking- oder Hebebewegungen erzeugen, da das Objektiv weit vom Kamerakörper entfernt liegt.
- Aufnahmen im anamorphen Letterbox-Format, die in 16:9 gequetscht werden, führen zu einer vertikalen Auflösung, die unter der Standarddefinition liegt, wenn sie auf einen 35-mm-Film übertragen werden, was zu Qualitätsbedenken führt.
- A long lens adapter with significant distance from the camera body extends the physical movement required before frame corrections become visible, complicating timing of camera movements.
- Equipment availability in Thailand is limited to items already present locally or available from nearby regions like Singapore or Hong Kong, affecting choice of gear.
- Preston focus motors with long fiberglass support bars can disengage their gears due to flex if not taped toward the lens for stabilization.
- An electronic level unit can be constructed from older camera components and repurposed on modern rigs.
- A gimbal post extension made from a simple aluminum rod with appropriate mounting holes provides height flexibility and allows angled gimbal positioning relative to the crane arm.
- Inverting a gimbal post handle assembly by rotating the stainless steel stud allows accessing an additional lower operating height without a separate post.
Hängt ab von
- Discussion centers on one specific production with particular creative and logistical constraints.
- The filmmaker expresses uncertainty about image quality after film transfer but acknowledges production leadership considered results acceptable.
- No technical measurements or objective data comparing equipment combinations are provided.
- Access to specialized equipment like PS Technik anamorphic adapters was unavailable in the shooting location.
- The setup difficulty may not reflect typical productions with different format requirements or equipment availability.
