Vincent Laforet, Episode One: Shooting with EF Lenses

@lmvideo93 we know more about standard vid production cameras than DSLR. DSLR can only do so much. Inconvenient for reality based productions. GH2 better but still has shortcomings compared to vid prod camera

[alanbstard4]

@lmvideo93 I am not employed in the industry. I own a TV production business with a pro director. We know what we are doing

[alanbstard4]

@lmvideo93 because 35mm vid from still camera has DOF too strong. Focus puller's nightmare. I do more reality based stuff for TV and have no need for shallow DOF, and the 4/3 is better and the 14-140 lens is optimized for vid. The gh2 is optimized for vid

My 5D will do wide shots and extreme DOF when required

[alanbstard4]

@lmvideo93 ok lol thanks. I'm thinking of getting two gh2s to compliment my 5D

[alanbstard4]

why are you using 1D's for motion pic? They have the same vid capability as the 5D, but are more expensive due to the features only a pro still photographer would require, such as the 10 fpm continual firing

Could it be you do still as well as motion and require the still features of the 1D?

@alanbstard4 1d KILLS the 5d mark ii in low light capability. thats a videographers dream camera for low light

[alanbstard4]

@StereoBreedMedia AH OK thanks!
