Interesting. I was under the impression that the 4k didn't have an IR cut filter, hence the IR pollution that was often present in the shadows with the 4K, particularly when using NDs. I was careful to specifically get ND filters with IR cut buit-in. I suppose it was because they just didn't use a very good IR cut filter.
@Dale_Campbell25 күн бұрын
Basically that’s it, a lot of Blackmagic cameras have leaned towards having an IR cut filter that lets through more Infrared than a lot of other manufacturers cameras. But trust me running it with no IR cut at all is wayyyy more intense 😅
@romm175225 күн бұрын
Hi i read somewhere that in Dune they replaced the IR filter with a visible light filter.
@Dale_Campbell25 күн бұрын
Absolutely! So at 16:38 I mention the one I’m using. You have a choice when modding as you could fit a filter for visible light back over the sensor. I opted not to as you can also just put one on the lens. This allows you to choose which filtration you want to use / experiment more easily as there are many different ‘sensitivities’ of filtration measured in nanometers.

You question, would I get one of these. I'm now thinking to getting the URSA Cine 12K for that 16 stops of DR. It may be as high as 14 at an SNR of 2. This is equal to the old Arri Alexa amd Ameira. ut still less than to awesome Alexa 35. But curiously t may be above the Red VRaptorVV sensor's DR of 13.5 at an SNR of 2. Then have the PYXIS as a B cam. These will fit with my current canon cn-e full frame Lenses. I'm interested in seeing how much DR Cine D will achieve. I suspect 14 stops at an SNR of 2.
@user-nr5wx7md4dАй бұрын
Dale your spoton right saying that second screen on the new Ursa Cine 12K not making sense. Mostly because the camera moves. Dose BMD think we're going to strap the AC to the camera or something crazy like that. It's been many decades since the AC has pulled focus remotely. I don't think anybody will be returning to the 50's using static camera shot because the AC is attached to the lens. I think have a more comprehensive amount of in and out sockets similar to the Alexa 35 would be a better use of the camera real estate than the second screen.

@11:00, do you think they relied heavily on actual sunlight, or did they use an extra light to shine through the window? @15:45, If you looked at that scene w/ a scope in a video editor, would that hot light be above the 100% limit? @26:15 - Beautiful bokeh! @34:35, By putting a brighter light near the inspector, in real life that might have further blinded him from seeing crucial details on Ripley's face!

Is part of the aesthetic w/ light done w/ hard light? Because it doesn't seem soft to me in some scenes. Also, I'm wondering why they chose to do it in B&W. What did that B&W do that color can't do? BTW, lighting also seemed quite natural, especially on indoor scenes.

Another comment - It felt like an homage to film noir, almost as if the director thought of that genre as the best quality and wanted to emulate it. Certainly, B&W requires expert lighting. And the fact that there weren't digital effects and such brought out the story so much more.

I’ve shot a lot of scenarios like this and competing with direct sun is brutal. I’d say you need at least 600w of output and although this can get close the max mode does spin the fans up. They did announce a new ‘B’ series of lights which may be more suitable but I haven’t used them yet.

The compositions I find intriguing in this series, but the hyper sharpness and brilliant whites turn me off. My eye wants to see this as a film on celluloid and I literally got out of my chair while watching the first episode to figure out what was bugging me about the look. And there it was, hyper realistic lens choice, sharpening, and unnaturally white whites. Maybe they think that helps tell the story? Don’t know. All I can say is the grade pulled me right out of the moment and I haven’t watched since.
@Dale_CampbellАй бұрын
I had a similar feeling, I suppose I’m used to black & white be played for texture, grain and imperfections a lot of the time. This did have a feel of hyped sharp high resolution photography. My wife thought that maybe it was meant to represent more of how the world feels from Ridley’s perspective, (she didn’t like it). Overall I did find I was too aware of the cinematography in all the different ways I’m looking at in this series of videos to be fully immersed. The last one will be a look at Black & White and a discussion around it.
