Our first 4channel thread edition! [Also, something about Christmas?]
>STICKY - https://pastebin.com/74w2aRYi>Helpful guide and additional books - https://pastebin.com/kG0gRmTZHere we discuss techniques, gear and anything else related to capturing video footage. Please don't pretend to be an expert if you don't know what you're talking about. Kindly leave your ego at the door.
Posting short films/scripts or other work you've done is encouraged.
We tend to use and recommend DSLRs/mirrorless cameras because they provide phenomenal picture quality for their price, have large sensors (ie the same size used in high-end cinema cameras and higher) and have interchangeable lenses.
In contrast, consumer camcorders normally have much smaller sensors and a fixed lens.
>NO ONE CARES WHAT AN EXPERT YOU THINK YOU ARE. IF YOU’RE ASKING BASIC-AS-SHIT QUESTIONS, YOU CAN’T BE ALL THAT GREAT. SEE ABOVEPrevious thread
>>3389150So, what are your fondest memories of 4chan? And what are your plans this Christmas/New Year?
FAQS
>what’s the best camera available on a “budget”?The new blackmagic pocket cinema camera 4k, by a considerable margin
>>what’s a good beginner video camera?Buy a used canon 700d
>Can I use a zoom lens for video?Yes
>Do I need cine lenses?No
>Where can I find a good 4k lens?Anywhere. Your stills have a much higher resolution than 4k. 4k lenses are a meme
>Do I need 4k?No. It will make your footage look sharper if it’s in focus, and it gives you breathing room in post. But 1080p is still absolutely fine
