What's In The Bag: DSLR w/HD - Full Rig/ Chris Weeks Part 2B

[gIGoN36]

hi, what lens are you using on the dslr(the on on the rig) in this video?

[KlingnerFilms]

can a dslr camera fit in a focus rig when a battery grip is attached to it on a tripod/shoulder mount ?

[magicmike323]

I really hope Canon makes a video camera with their DSLR technology so you don't have to deal with all this bullshit.

[Parmoss1640]

This was awesome!

Thanks!

[alex82304]

im intrested in getting one of those rigs about how much did that all cost?

[4Firearms]

They better put a BAG OF ICE in your DSLR to keep it from overheating. Until DSLR manufactures fix the overheating issue they are good still cameras, but expensive and unreliable TOYS as video recording devices.

And NOT, Canon's FIRMWARE didn't FIX the over heating issue. It only tweaks the WARNING to come up LATER. A poor Band-aid fix.

From Canon

"Extends the timing at which the high temperature warning indicator is displayed"

[sprayframe]

@4Firearms stop trolling all these videos. you're obviously butthurt over a past experience. I'm a Nikon anyway

[CelosTV]

nice. im a follow your updates and suscribtion. is this your channel?

[dakzomo]

holy crap i want that setup though i don't have close to that amount of money nor do i do what half the things you were saying actually meant

[adlibdigitalmedia]

Hi there, great rig! The shoulder mount looks like it has padding and i would imagine it is quite comfortable... do you recommend it? if so where did you get it from? Also, do you think it is ok to have a shoulder mount without a counter weight?

Cheers

[AAAproductionsUSA]

how do you spell it?? Covision?

[SuperBeardeddragon]

THAT RIG SYSTEM LOOKS DELICIOUS

[mangoprojects]

From this interview, I am assuming Chris Weeks is an interesting and fun person to work with. Once again, thank for the production. Thank you. - Behind VFX

[karmanotdogma]

Record both outboard audio and onboard. Then use a certain software to sync them together in post, then mute the onboard track. no more slate or timecode needed. Every waveform is unique like a fingerprint.

[lykhoi96]

hey so where can i buy all of these stuff ? how much is it ?

[SunnyMoonProductions]

Thumbs up. Thanks for sharing.

[TotallyPhotography]

Worst thing about this video was the constant interrupting titles... otherwise great setup!

[aldohodgkinson]

Hi, I have a HVR 1P sony with a LEtus mini, do you think its worth selling it and getting the 5DMII ? Im a bit scared ill regret it or something.

[bluejacker2121]

THANKS CHRIS , U R GOOD MAN, AND GOOD VIDEGRAPHER , . . .

[bionicunit]

Great video thanks for sharing the info I posted it on our website

[philhoyt]

love the rig!

[BuddLightbrain]

It is great to see someone who communicates so naturally and unpretentious, sought of guy to have a beer and a chat with, really enjoyed the video even though not into video production yet. good stuff!

[xStraightEdgexH20]

how exactly do you use a clapper or slate to sync audio?

anyone help please

[RrahimStruja]

@xStraightEdgexH20

Well the way how would I use the slate to sync is someone (director) shouts "action" the camera starts filming the slate, same time you need a good audio recorder (Marantz) to record audio and you actually will use the beep coming from the slate (iphone) to sync audio/video in a nonlinear editing software (Adobe Premiere, final cut, etc). I would say that the camera audio can help to sync a/v, you can delete it after the sync process.



[MichaelFrymus]

Do you recommend the SmallHD Monitor?

[tommiegreen]

Thank you SO MUCH for putting me up on that electric clapper. I own a clapper, but it's just SO cumbersome and I'm not a production level where a clapper-boy is even an option for someone who has to be paid.

[GreisDK]

where is the equipments from..!?

[scaredweepel]

@GreisDK

he explains it all in part 1

[PeteBnJ]

[rubent100]

[rubent100]

[mportillo27]

Is all that equipment for video or is also for photography?

[iCALEBORiCUA]

Video; You pop the Mark ||(camera) out and is used for photography. Thats the awesome part about this camera.

[garyofnyc]

Did your cameraman forget that you have a head? Good, real-world advice! Thanks

[TheunforgivingCam]

What's the monitor?

[733]

I think it's an Ikan screen

[sardo97]

do you have to take off the entire cam to swap the batts

[scaredweepel]

@sardo97

Yes

[Cmac787]

@sardo97 i would imagine there is external power

[Photowebster]

@sardo97 if you had that so called "stupid battery grip thing" like he said in his other vid. (the 1st one) you wouldnt! haha

[1rhett1]

@sardo97 Put a dslr on a tripod.. its very easy to swap batts!!!

Nothin ther is obstructin the batterry door.. look closely!!!!!!!

[AcuraWay]

@sardo97 no there is a space under the battery cover

[mfuller33]

What's the name of that iPhone app?

[damonwebster]

iSlate

[negrozn2]

When I watch him videos? I want to see any film with this devices.

[scaredweepel]

you don't want to..i've seen one of his documentaries and it was utter rubbish!

I understand creativity is in the eye of the beholder but come on! Some people need to be seriously woken up!

[NewvideoAZ]

It's great that still shooters now have a capable DSLR that can do outstanding HD video. OTOH, I'm a video guy with 20 years experience in field production. And now with my recent purchase of a 5dMkii I can now do STILL WORK as well as video! I've already got a full studio and decades into understanding video lighting, sound, blocking and directing live talent. Welcome "DSLR videographers" into my world!

[scaredweepel]

The 5DmkII was never designed for filmmaking any, it was AP and Reuters wanting web-video content that their photographers could record. It's specs clearly demonstrate that. Regardless of what people buy video wise, it's a high end and creative business. The whole point of the Dslr - video feature was to cut costs. So newspapers don't need to hire vid-camera operators they couldn't afford. Photographers are doing 2x more work now for the same money! However most production standards show that!

[scaredweepel]

The market is getting completely flooded with photographers and videographers now anyway. Same happens in many creative industries!

People offer to work for free, then more and more 'companies' take on people who will only work for free - or at most expenses, but they can gain experience as a bonus. Companies start to under cut each other, and it dies. The strong might survive, who knows!

Look at web-design started so strong now someone knows someone who can do it, and do it for free!

[CreativeOutletHobbie]

Good stuff. It looks like it takes forever to setup though.

[AllAmericanGuy01]

Wouldn't it be easier to buy a professional grade camcorder that has better qualities?

[arkenstone]

That would be much much more expensive. To get 35mm film look you have to spend 10.000 of Dollars on the camera and next to that you need another set of lenses.

[AllAmericanGuy01]

The price wouldn't be too far from what he paid for all this equipment. I just don't see a point in buying all of this stuff and spending this much money on a DSLR that does videoing. With a camcorder, half the features that he purchased for the DSLR is already equiped and built in. And nevertheless, a camcorder is made for videoing, so the quality is going to be 10x as better as a DSLR which is made to take photos.

[arkenstone]

That's the thing. Quality isn't as good with a camcorder then with a 5dMKII. If you get a camcorder, you have a fixed zoom lens and a small sensor. With a 5DMKII you can chance lenses (wide, tele, prime->use wide open aperture), you have a large sensor and therefor a small depth of field.

You can go ahead, get a camcorder that might be specificly designed for video which cost less, but then you don't get that cinematic feel and look. If you want that you have to pay bigbig money or use a DSLR.

[AllAmericanGuy01]

Ok, you sound like a photographer. SO let me ask you...How many times have clients came to you and said, I want you to film an event of mine and I want it to have that cinematic look and feel; oh! Don't forget, I want the dept of field to look nice also!...Honestly, how many times have you gotten that? And how many times will you actually use all of that equipment? Think about supply and demand.

[arkenstone]

I'm only doing stills and that in a completely different field... :o)

On the other hand the question... if you are selling video and want it to look different, more catchy and Intriguing, you use something like this. Wouldn't you agree, that a look like this makes you stand out, ergo makes you sell more?

I guess a guy who uses a lot of manuell focusing lenses on his DSLRs and a Rangefinder next to it, knows what and why he is doing that and is more into the look then into the handling.

[AllAmericanGuy01]

Yeah, thats my point. If you're a still photographer, why are you gonna go out and purchase all of this equipment unless you're in the videographer world, and if that was the case, you should spend your money on professional grade camcorders (I'm not saying you in particular, I'm just speaking in general). But looks does sell and I admit that alot of people feel very "important" when you arrive with alot of professional looking equipment.

[arkenstone]

Again, a digital "professional grade camcorders" costs up to multiple $10.000 to get a filmgrade look. The Gear he is presenting is all in all maybe at 10.000 and he can use most of it for stills as well, so he doesn't have to buy double.

The 5dMkII was franaticly recieved in the amateur/semipro market, because you don't have to spend 100.000 on gear. It was used on the set of Iron Man 2 etc.

So why not offer video in film grade quality with stuff that you already got and not extra 100.000

[CrazyJimKU]

aww, I wanted to see him carry it.

[jahanzebk91]

WOW tyat was really cool :)

[jahanzebk91]
