A quick video I made while on an Airboat Tour in the Everglades. Shot on the 5D Mark III using RAW, had a ND filter on to protect from the water and stabilized with the HD2000. NO stabilization in post. It was hard to properly control the exposure and focus in such rapidly changing conditions and especially to reduce shake by not touching the rig.

Roundtrip from Resolve to Premiere, graded in Resolve. BMD Film.

Hey,

Very new to the amazing RAW recording on the 5DIII. The first set of footage seems rather underexposed in Davinci after being processed into cdng for example. I'm filming in MLV_RAW, not RAW_REC (does that make a difference apart from lower I/O speeds due to sound being recorded? I only care if it makes a difference to visual quality / data).

Do you guys use the ETTR tool to let it automatically expose while filming, or do you naturally just overexpose by 1 or 2 stops? The liveview isn't giving me a great representation of exposure, so I'd guess I'll always need to over expose?

Thanks for any tips.

Hi Guys,

I'll be flying to the states from Europe to film my first music video. Currently I have most the equipment I need but, I'm missing something to stabilize the frame and give the impression of overall smooth footage. As you may know, the 24-70mm II doesn't have IS, so this is pretty important.

Do you think I should go for the steadycam HD-2000 for example? Total weight of the equipment is around 3.8lbs. Or, should I go for some sort of shoulder rig? If so, can anyone recommend a good retailer for this stuff with quick turn around while I'm over there in the states?

Just generally looking for smooth footage, have had my eye son the glidecam HD-2000 for a long time, but I understand there are newer solutions out there!

Thanks a lot for any help.
