That was legitimately a 27" computer monitor. I had a Teradek Bolt transmitter on the camera, and a receiver connected to the monitor via HDMI in this case. The Bolt allows you to remotely monitor with 0.1ms of latency at upto 750 feet line of sight. You need this level of latency for wirelessly pulling focus. For director of client viewing, lower end transmitters are totally fine.

Thanks! These are a combination of URSA Mini Pro 4.6k G1 and G2, A variety of Sony cameras, both mirrorless and cine line, and maybe a few RED shots in there as well. Just as a little reminder, the camera really shouldn't matter. What's in the frame, the lighting, and the glass are way way more important. Hope that helps!

In this video you're seeing a literal 27" computer monitor sitting on the cart. The one the 1st AC is pulling focus off is the usual one we carry around. It's a Small HD 702 Bright monitor (I've had it for years). Signal gets from the camera to the monitor via a Teredek Bolt 750 LT. If you're going to be pulling focus off it, you need the zero latency of the Teredek, if you're just going to be viewing, any wireless system will do. Both of those are housed in the Wooden Camera Director's Cage v3, and powered with a gold mount battery. There are several options for viewing LUTs. We could send a LUT loaded into the camera out the SDI to the wireless transmitter, or just a LOG image. The SmallHD can also house LUTs to cycle through that can be sent out it's HDMI or SDI out. Let me know if you have any more questions!

I'm guessing you're totally fine. Mine are 739xxx, 725xxx, 738xxx, and 693xxx (that's the 28mm) - you can use the footage here to judge if those are too far away for you. These are vintage so they aren't going to perfectly match anyways - I've noticed the tint/ca varies depending on if I'm wide open or stopped down, and is different from lens to lens. Nothing I haven't been able to correct in post super quickly though.

These are from Simmod Lenses. I customized them to what I wanted.

Most of the narrative stuff is on the URSA Mini Pro, some on the G1, some on the G2. The beach footage was on the original Pocket 6k.

@@NickHouchin Thank you for the reply. All the footage is lovely, I was just curious about what looked like personal/fun footage and if you lugged around the Ursa to do that!

Glad it was helpful!

I didn't. Just the contax zeiss glass.

Sennheiser mkh50. Another similar style of mic at around half the price that I commonly see recommended is the Audio Technica 4053b. Curtis Judd has several videos comparing these indoor dialogue mics.

thanks appreciate it!@@NickHouchin

Actual budget vs what the budget could/should/would have been are massively different on this project. We didn't have to rent any gear since my production company provided it. We called in favors from the filmmaking homies - we've been working on each other's stuff for years. In the end we paid the actors, the location, crafty and meals, 3 Airbnb's for the actors, hard drive space, and a few costume and production design odds and ends. The out of pocket amount was between $1-2k. This is how we've "hacked" making stuff for a lot less than it should cost over the years.

Wow that's amazing. Well, great job as producer. I know that was a hell of a feat. I ran into a similar situation with actors not showing at the last minute and that drove me crazy and I had no one else to call.@@NickHouchin
