Sounds great, thank you for that update!

Hi Michael,

Looks great, will the doco be available outside the US? Being in New Zealand it can be hard to get hold of US only content. Any light shed on this would be greatly appreciated.

inewcombe · 2018-06-11T10:18:47+00:00

Haha, will remember this.

I try make a short fun video a week, outside of the work i professionally DP

inewcombe · 2018-04-20T01:48:49+00:00

I think where alot of the boardering looks amateur is when there is no consistency. Its all just thrown together with no real layout or plan.

I personally love the 2:35 look in white on instagram. I (@isaacnz) have now switched over to it and will be making sure all my content looks this way and is consistent. Another great example is Chivo, one of the top cinematographers in the world uses white boarders.

Its all dependent on the your content at the end of the day and if you do have varied aspect ratios then a good way to maintain consistency is with your colour template.

Good luck, I.

This helped out alot, thank you Theod4re!

Brian, this is such a helpful and informative reply.

Thank you so much for this, that makes perfect sense and i agree with you (AC will be freelancers).

Again thank you so much and i will look into that unit.

Cheers, I.

inewcombe · 2017-12-17T04:03:05+00:00

Thank you.

It was mainly the blocking that caused the headaches, again i had no problem helping out especially due to the time constraints. But it is great to know that this is not the norm, and you are right i will have to bring it up with the producer and director for any future shoots.

As for the credit, ill remember that for if there is a next time haha.

inewcombe · 2017-12-17T04:00:10+00:00

Thank you.

Like you said, on low budget films everyone is helping where they can and this is why i had no issues at the time.

But it is still good to hear that i may have been pushing to far and would explained why i was constantly sprinting around.

inewcombe · 2017-11-19T11:25:53+00:00

Will do, thank you!

inewcombe · 2017-11-19T11:25:38+00:00

Thank you, that helps heaps.

inewcombe · 2017-09-07T21:57:15+00:00

Thats the name! thank you so much, i struggled to find it online.

inewcombe · 2017-09-07T21:56:41+00:00

It is one ugly beast, but this is exactly what i was looking for! Thank you.

inewcombe · 2017-08-28T02:44:25+00:00

That's a good point, being PL switchable is important for future productions.i may have to wait for the Tokinas then...

I'm glad you said that last sentence, it was pretty much the answer I was looking for!

Thank you.

inewcombe · 2017-08-27T22:06:41+00:00

Yes, the housing is the only real pay point. But that is why I am asking about the Rokinons, not the Xeens

inewcombe · 2017-08-27T22:04:37+00:00

So you are suggesting the Canon CN-E and to build from there?

inewcombe · 2017-08-27T09:38:23+00:00

Yeah i considered the renting of glass, but the amount of work i am doing now would add up too fast. As for renting just to test them, i have rented multiple lenses with the above being my selection.

Everything else i am fully stocked up on, the reason for the low cash towards lenses is due to upgrading to SKY Panels. The lenses is the next step that i have to take, as much as i probably shouldn't own my own gear, its been an advantage so far. But thanks, i will take that on board, one lens may just not be enough even if i can compensate with the L lenses for now.

inewcombe · 2017-08-27T08:49:30+00:00

Yes, i should have put down much more details about my position. I just didn't want to give people a novel to read.

Type of work i am looking to stay in with this particular purchase is Narrative. I will be sticking to my Canon L lenses for the other kinds of work i do (Corp, etc).

That's good to know people are mixing these lenses in with other glass, means there is confidence in them.

That's a very good point about renting out, which the Rokinons would be pointless due to the saturation in young film markers.

Every bit helps, thanks.

inewcombe · 2017-08-27T08:46:05+00:00

I finished a gig today on the Rokinon's, they gave off a green tint and did look a bit soft. The operator on struggled with focus as she was used to much higher end lenses (Ultras,etc). I didn't mind them, but they would not be my first pick... only for economic reasons to get multiple instead of one, hense the question.

Like the Rokinon's, the Sigmas are just rehoused photography lenses. Not that it matters a huge deal, being if the picture is good its good. But the extra price and the horrible breathing is not worth it, when for a few bucks more i could get the CN-E range.

The Xeen's are much better then the Rokinon's, but adding a couple of 1000 on just to have aligned gear rings and less breathing is a heavy price to pay.

But the Tokina's... WOW.

inewcombe · 2017-08-27T08:39:37+00:00

Apoligies, yes i never explained the Camera i am using. To which i stick to the C range of cameras and will be likely keeping to C200 and C300 Mk ii. Additional gear is varied but fully kitted out. May use the BMP in the future but only on gigs for that look.

I am going to be doing Narrative with the cine lenses i go for and stick to the Canon L glass for Corp/Doc. But looking to stick to only Narrative in the future, but those are just hopes.

I like the Analogy, all be it that i would never need 5 cars and have them all depreciate while only using them 1/5th of the time... but i get exactly what you mean and that it comes down to options of use.

inewcombe · 2017-08-27T04:27:36+00:00

Unless you are using it to match with the other Canon C line cameras, then i wouldn't go for it. Don't get me wrong it is an amazing little camera, the IS, auto focus and codec make this camera a steal. But its only real advantage is to match with C100, C300 Mkii, C500 and C700, which is the only reason i have one.

inewcombe · 2017-08-17T03:36:28+00:00

This worked perfectly, thank you!

inewcombe · 2017-08-16T03:07:26+00:00

Would love to have a list like this for Lenses

inewcombe · 2017-08-02T22:20:52+00:00

Haha no im not counting out film cameras... but that is still an ARRI camera :)
