Raw Video / What are these files?

« on: February 17, 2015, 09:00:44 PM »

Hi all,

Just arrived back from a shoot and about to begin the conversion process. In the folders there are other files other than the .MLV's. I don't think it's metadata due to the file size, anyone got any ideas? The MLV files themselves seem to be completely fine - however, each take spanned for around 5 minutes which makes me think it has been split up in some way. If this is the case, is there anyway to re join them?

The files themselves have a .M00 extension which goes in chronological order up to around 5, and are all around 4.9gb. Im shooting on a 5d mark iii, MLV, 1920x1080 at 24fps overide.

Many thanks in advance.

Raw Video / Best exposure for high contrast scenes

« on: February 15, 2015, 09:08:48 PM »

I have a shoot coming up next week which will take place in a construction site. I'd like to retain the detail in the clouds while still picking up a great amount of detail in the subjects.

What you suggest ETTR or simply slightly underexposing with HTP on and an ISO of 80?

I am shooting on a 5d iii with 4 64gb Komputerbay 1000x cards and an on site DIT to offload and convert. I will be using a reflector to even out the light for the close ups.

Many thanks in advance.
