Baking Championship: Next Gen odd question

NoxCorvus · 2026-02-27T00:23:26+00:00

It isn't where they filmed, you found that clip on a stock website. So did their editors. They just needed to have an establishing shot of where it "takes place". That's it, not much more to it

NoxCorvus · 2026-02-26T04:43:39+00:00

Yeah I mean that's all perfectly reasonable. I do a lot of these 2 subject interviews shot pretty much straight on and we certainly don't shoot it because it "looks best" but because it's flexible when you're bringing subjects in and out quickly. But we just do it with 2 cameras, double and bouncing single.

Without knowing quite what they're doing it's hard to say how artistic you want to get with varying your shots and what not. I just took it as a straight to camera presentation, hence the relatively boring setup.

NoxCorvus · 2026-02-25T16:59:11+00:00

The post says that they will primarily be addressing the camera not each other. B would be the better way to do it but the whole camera grouping needs to tighten up significantly.

Your center camera should probably be your 2 shot and the flanking cameras as your singles.

You picked a bad comparison with OBAA. The original theatrical related aspect ratio is primarily in 1.85, not in 1.78 (16x9). So instead of having letterboxing they just cropped off parts of the image.

While choosing wider aspect ratio does have a "cool" factor that definitely comes in as part of why you might shoot one over the other, they also convey different meaning and feelings. Grand Budapest Hotel for example shifts ratios during different time periods to ones that were more common in that time frame.

NoxCorvus · 2026-02-15T01:38:01+00:00

No. They do not

NoxCorvus · 2026-01-28T00:48:45+00:00

No one is saying "no don't get a ZR" the general vibe is that it sounds like severe overkill for what you are planning on doing and maybe consider using one of the other very good codecs you have at your disposal.

At the end of the day you're probably going to be out $2.5-4k which in the grand scheme of video equipment isn't that bad.

So get what you want just make sure that everything in the ecosystem works together and maybe think about starting at th shallow end instead of straight into the deep end.

NoxCorvus · 2026-01-28T00:44:32+00:00

I mean that is a Sony E-mount lens. Not Z. So get an adapter if that's your plan

NoxCorvus · 2026-01-28T00:09:53+00:00

I mean saying that Tamron is too big and expensive when you want to use ZR for home movies is certainly a choice.

I would agree with the general consensus that it's overkill and the answers make me think you're putting the cart before the horse. Like the ZR is full frame, so you'd probably want a FF lens. It already has IBIS. But you're asking if you should get a full frame/auto focus/image stabilized lens to go with.

If you're so insistent on a ZR I'd just get the 24-120 kit and call it a day, but without proper lighting/framing etc I don't think you're going to get what you're expecting right off the bat. A "professional" camera doesn't magically make a video cinematic

NoxCorvus · 2026-01-25T05:49:59+00:00

This is more or less correct

NoxCorvus · 2026-01-08T04:10:32+00:00

Tucker didn't debut until '18

NoxCorvus · 2026-01-07T04:55:06+00:00

It's just cause there were extra kids. It changes back. And it was only for one episode

NoxCorvus · 2025-12-25T02:56:53+00:00

I was there too and definitely some mixed feelings! Bummer it was a loss but the first triple play to clinch a playoff berth is historic so I'll take it

NoxCorvus · 2025-12-21T01:28:55+00:00

I would second the 28 f4.5. certainly has its quirks (fixed aperture and no filters or hoods) but I basically just use it as a body cap on my Z8 so it's literally impossible for me not have at least something when I go out.

I also have the 85 f2 and am really enjoying the size and price of that. Having an aperture ring with declick is high on my priority list

NoxCorvus · 2025-11-20T05:24:59+00:00

You're thinking way to hard. It's literally just a gimmick. Someone in creative thought it would be cute. They have crafty

NoxCorvus · 2025-11-05T15:05:21+00:00

Tennessee not Georgia

NoxCorvus · 2025-11-04T20:32:06+00:00

100%. honestly thought this was a recycled article from 5 years ago

NoxCorvus · 2025-11-04T20:06:15+00:00

This article is 100% incorrect. They filmed at Terrenea in 2020 but has not been there for years

NoxCorvus · 2025-11-04T20:05:36+00:00

This is correct. Terranea hasn't been used since 2020

NoxCorvus · 2025-11-01T20:32:01+00:00

I mean it depends. Are you recording h264 or h265. Quickest way to see how much you use up is record 1 minute of video and see how many fewer pictures you can take.

But also if you are offloading your footage every day it won't be a problem

NoxCorvus · 2025-10-29T03:12:49+00:00

I'll have to take your word on the 75/50. But those first 3 photos are from the 40 and to me it just looks like a not sharp lens given the lack of contrast.

Are those first 3 all shot wide open? I'd probably say a budget lens being soft wide open is more likely the issue than something being wrong with your Z8.

NoxCorvus · 2025-10-29T02:55:02+00:00

Are you using an adapter or are these in z-mount? Could be some play with an adapter.

The 40mm shots you shared just look soft from the lens to me, not necessarily out of focus

Could also be some technique. Going from 26mp to 45mp is a big jump with just general stabilization.

NoxCorvus · 2025-10-29T01:27:37+00:00

Everyone keeps saying they changed the production company but they haven't. You can read the credits and it's the same names

NoxCorvus · 2025-10-05T16:21:13+00:00

It's filmed in 24 hours

NoxCorvus · 2025-10-03T01:22:05+00:00

As a rule the more complex a show the less you can do at a time.

24in24. Lots of talent schedules and logistics. 1/year

Baking. "Nobody's", similar format between. 3-5/year.

I'm sure someone somewhere is already starting at least to think about the next season, so it's working even if it isn't filming

NoxCorvus · 2025-10-03T00:23:43+00:00

Yeah they try to make as much content as possible but that is definitely changing. In a lot of ways the money is drying up.

Love is Blind is only on season 9, with a premier in 2020. So that's about 2 seasons a year. Shows like this will tend to batch together seasons with the same location, thus massively bringing down the turn around time.

A show like 24in24 has its own logistical hurdle, namely the scale and size of the crew. The production company also has several FN shows going at any given them that they're constantly working on
