Ikonoskop A-cam dII test film

This is a test film for the Ikonoskop A-cam dII digital 16mm camera. It demonstrates the use of indoor and outdoor lighting, handheld use and color processing. All images were loaded into After Effects CS 5.5 where the RAW editor was used to process the footage. They files were then output to Quicktime ProRes and edited in Premiere Pro CS 5.5.

Thanks to Kaskade & Skrillex for the awesome mix of "Lick It."

is it useful to use warp stabilizer (cs5.5 ae) for a ccd cam like this one???

@BoHoTheGoatSage hmmm, haven't tried that yet.

looks great, where are you based out of?

Stunning skin tone. How are you liking the A-cam? Thinking of getting one because I have no use for 4k and HATE DSLR jello. Red Scarlet costs a ton when you add everything you need anyway. Love how small the A-cam is.

Best wishes!

@JillAnderson - I like the form factor and the control over the image I have in post. The RAW file format is really great for dialing in whatever look you desire.

@BoHoTheGoatSage - wouldn't be needed much. I got a chance to try one and the global shutter prevents wobble (CMOS DSLRs have).  Jerkiness will obviously show up and the camera is very light but this means it is easy to use a Glidecam HD4000 or the newer XR4000.

@snehalmp well, let me know when you do do do...

@photodevoto Thanks! I didn't use any monitors as I didn't have the cable for HD-SDI. So all focus and framing was done through the viewfinder. Having the RAW helped as I could re-expose if needed. I will post a blog about the workflow that might give you some useful tips.
