It ’s not the camera ’s still photography performance that Laforet says is a game - auto-changer , as punctually telling as it is - he says it matches what your “ raw eye in can see the worst illumination ” which is “ a adult deal . ” It ’s the telecasting , which he enunciate — only half - jokingly — make him “ never want to shoot another still photo . ”

You ’re only get a dilute taste of it here . Laforet noted that this DSLR obliterates the video calibre of Canon ’s consecrated HDXH - A1 , especially in lowly - light . Laforet say that for the first time ever , using a DSLR or any other camera was “ not a struggle at all , ” even “ at night , outside , in a city ” which can be the among the most intriguing lighting state of affairs of all . ( Compare these stillframes screencapped from his site to Nikon’sfirst D700 shots here . )

Last Of Us 7 Ellie Crash

It ’s the price that build it a rotation , and a boon for indie filmmakers . With $ 25,000 worth of SLR lenses , Laforet and his minor work party were able to do comparably to what would take at least several hundred thousand one dollar bill deserving of motion depiction camera lenses ( and some of those you ca n’t even buy ) . He even said some of the most expensive ones were unnecessary . Here ’s a summing up of the crystalline lens they used ( with rough price estimation ):

• 7.5 mm lens ( custom )

• 15 mm fisheye ( $ 650 )

Mission Impossible 8 Underwater

• 16 - 35 mm f/2.8 ( $ 1600 )

• 50 mm f/1.2 ( $ 1100 )

• 85 millimetre f/1.2 ( $ 2000 )

Lesdilley

• 135 mm f/2 ( $ 1000 )

• 200 mm f/1.8 ( $ 4500 )

• 400 millimetre f/2.8 ( $ 7000 )

Mission Impossible 8 Tom Cruise Hang

• 500 mm f/4 ( $ 7000 )

That and a $ 2700 DSLR body . A testament to its ease of use of goods and services is that Laforet is a lensman ; he has no professional celluloid experience and had never used the 5D Mark II before , yet was capable to storyboard , cast , fool and edit out the clip in just two Day , with less than 12 hour notice . In particular he noted that dumping the MPEG-4 video takes way less time than it would with an actual HD camera . The only issue that would finish a person from hit a TV pilot program exclusively with this camera is sound matching , he says . If that ’s extend , you ’re gilt .

The video he shoot , “ Reverie ” will be available presently , though not before long enough . [ Vincent Laforet – Thanks so much , Vincent ! ]
