SONY EX1 shots with and without 35mm adapter

[Gareththedrummer]

I still don't see why I need an adaptor if my TM900 video camera has shallow DOF using f1.5 and some telephoto. ??

[sundance37]

Although I get why the images are so different I would say that this is not a good comparison if you were only showcasing the adapters ability to shallow the DoF however, if your camera has no white balance on it than orange filters could make another argument for getting an adapter.

[Huxleyhere]

I can get this w/o an adapter

[Artoflifefilms]

@Huxleyhere yes if you have a camera with interchangeable lenses, you can have different depths of field, but surely you can't have shallow depth of field like that with an EX1 without an adapter. If you can, please show me how you manage to do that. Cheers!

[jamesbondaygee]

2nd shot was also bigger close up which always looks better anyways

[conewells]

Do you think...maybe...a little color correction could have gotten the same results...?

Just asking.

[Artoflifefilms]

@conewells with colour correction you cannot create a more shallow depth of field though

[ndfilter]

Worst comparison ever!

[leofilm]

hey, chrissy. would you happen to also know what music that was in the background?? it's very familiar to me, but i can't quite place it.

[poemred]

You said Edilberto Restino? He won 8 Film Festivals as DoP and Director, now I can understand the difference. It is not only the adapter, he does magic.

Good stuff.

[laphold]

bad comparison!

used in different light conditions, different angles...

[Chrissybrighton]

Lights were the same, just added a table lamp on background and orange filter on lens. Lens was 100mm prime nikon. Edilberto Restino - DP.

[laphold]

@Chrissybrighton

well, thirst thing i noticed was the hard light on her face in first scene, and soft light in second scene.

thats y i said different conditions. i dont believe that the 35mm adapter did this...

[laphold]

@Chrissybrighton

oh sorry, maybe ur point was just the soft background, and i started some nonsense :P

[rivercraig]

@Chrissybrighton Why put the filter on one shot and not the other, it's a completely different look.

[KaiChippi]

@Chrissybrighton if you are testing a 35 mm adapter, you really wanna keep the other stuff the same...

[YungJoc87]

Haha that girl looks like a mix between Drew Barrymore and Kate Winslet !

[Chrissybrighton]

And she is a better actress than both of them combined! And that is really true!

[intrigid]

@YungJoc87 Holy shit this is EXACTLY what I thought.

[DjangoMr]

@YungJoc87 Heather Graham.

[TheSpeedCube]

@YungJoc87 I'd add a little bit of Amanda Seyfried ! 8D

[conewells]

@YungJoc87 Exactly what I was thinking. lol.

[ashwyn]

@YungJoc87 lol u hit the nail on the head

[CharlsWorld]

hI! Great DP, which 35 mm adapter and lense did you use? thanks.

[Chrissybrighton]

Shoot35 SGpro adapter and I believe 100mm Nikon still lense. I will soon be putting up the trailer of the feature I shot with this setup (and with Letus one)... Will link to this. Amazing footage.

[blitzkrieg969]

@Chrissybrighton Does 35 mm adaptor work in dslrs like 7d or 550d?

[casablancamicasa]

why don't you do it with the same lighting,same setting in the same position so we can tell what's really make it different? because obviously you didn't do it that way.

[Chrissybrighton]

lighting exactly the same believe it or not. You do presume things without asking me first.

[casablancamicasa]

did you do something extra to the one with adapter? like filter or post effect? it looks like the magic bullet effect.

[Chrissybrighton]

I will ask my DP and get back to you. As far as I remember, the only thing we did was stick the tube on.

[edstradling]

@casablancamicasa yeah - gopod idea to show them side by side butwithout showing the exact same shot with the same Depth of Field, it's not much of a comparison.

[HisNameWasRobin]

woww,

and the lighting remained the same for both shots, im presuming?

[Chrissybrighton]

wasn't comparing the shots - just generally showing the difference between working with and without adapter. thanks

[spazyx]

not really a good comparison as the shot has changed dramatically. Keep lighting the same and subject same length from lens. 35mm adapter really looks good though!

[Chrissybrighton]

am just changing video format for better quality - bear with me...
