Another question, did you use Lanparte dummy?

Hi marekk,

How has it worked, any issues?

It takes a couple of seconds to turn on and sync'ing delay after you press record is about a 1 sec or 2 tops. It records full 1080 while recording -- there's even an option to shoot at 480p. If I have time this week, I'll make a short video of everything.

Did I get this right, it takes 1 to 2 seconds after pressing record to get the sync? After that there's no delay?

Thank you sir, very helpful link.

Okay so have I got his right:
Take 5D3 you have several CF cards for important shoot.
You know that using KB cards, it's important to keep formatting them regulary.
You have your selected ML version, you format all cards on computer and transfer files into them.
Then go?

Okay, so no need for SD cards anymore?
I need to have that same ML file on every CF card?

Hey Zapiano, did you pick up Atomos Ninja or other solution?
I'm interested to hear about monitoring.

Thanks,
S

I have the same problem!

I haven't installed ML yet. I have the 5D3, KB 64 1066x on it's way and now ordering another, but I can't find (and I've searched) anything about the needed SD card.

Have I got it right:
1) I need the SD card to hold the ML, while I record and switch between CF cards.
2) Someone said that the speed of the SD card effects the performance on the CF cards.
3) What if I go only CF route, when switching between them, I need to have the ML file on all of them? How about formating?

Has anyone used Lexar CFR1 USB 3.0 reader?

It seems that every reader has it's problems, but there's not much about CFR1.

Or is Kingston still the way to go with newer KB cards?

Reading reviews have become a pain. Here's some claims to sum up:

Lexar Dual Slot - fast, but dies and ugly results with KB cards

Transcend - they say it's slow

Sandisk - Poor design, issues with pins, won't last
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/810152-REG/SanDisk_SDDR_289_A20_ImageMate_All_in_One_USB_3_0.html/prm/alsVwDtl

Lexar CFR1 - can't find anything ML or KB related
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1002491-REG/lexar_lrwcfr1rbna_professional_workflow_card_reader.html/prm/alsVwDtl

Kingston - KB recommends, however not UDMA7, corrupted file reports.

Please share your experience!

Tremendously!
It seems simple things are enough when you do it right.

Thank you!
1) On most (if not all) of the shots we didn't use external monitor nor EVF.
2) We had Magiclantern waveform turned on.
3) We used http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=9560.0 for playback, sometimes b&w playback inside camera
4) Actually most of videos was done by Bartek: http://www.hlawka.com/index.php/ . I'll ask him if he got some BTS. Car scenes from Another World short were filmed with BeSteady.

Thank you, that's really helpful!
It seems 5D3ML has all the things you need, compared to rigging something like BMCC.

Thanks!

Sorry it took me while to log back... thank you very much! That was really helpful, got me lot of ideas from your work and answers!

Thanks!
S

First of all thank you for the compliments. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Now to answer your questions.
1) The external monitor I used for most of the shots is the Aputure VS-1  7".
2) Did not use waveform.
3) No playback.
4) I have one lexar 32 gb 1000x

Thanks!!

Really nice!
Great style and the tempo. Amazing audio work. Love the look.

The beginning is just perfect, that's the way to do it. Clever, it sets the rhythm.

One big thing here is, that you have a very difficult idea: guy sits on the computer, stuff happens there...This must be one of the best ways I've seen it done. Nice graphics. Liked the way the older text lines were left blurred. Your editing is really spot on all the way.

Cinematography really really good, cool skin colors, that empty room curtains shot and the next gas station slider shot, just great.
You mentioned that you did all your audio in post, well done! Kitchen scene, keyboard, anger rising, likes counter, gas station background, everything very much in line for the mood. Setting an example.

Would have lot of questions but here's some that I've been asking lately from other great 5D3 Raw filmmakers:

1) Did you use External monitor, or EVF?
2) Do you use waveform? If so, camera, EVF, external monitor?
3) Did you have monitor with playback or did you transfer and check your material some other way right after shooting?

4) What CF cards and transfer devices did you use?

Thanks!
S

Very nice!
I checked the beginning yesterday and scanned quickly some positive feedback. I never want to know too much about any movies. Then late late last night I was showing some newest stuff made with 5D3 Raw to my girlfriend, lights off and all that. Didn't know what genre we were watching before the hint with the... well let's not spoil it for others, but oh man, did it keep us in grip!

Bravo.

This is of course all about some really good cinematography, but have to say that your audio guys really made it too. Also the talent...there's something there... makes me feel there was good acting/directing combination... good work.

Few questions about the camera work:

1) Did you use External monitor, or EVF?
2) Do you use waveform? If so, camera, EVF, external monitor?

3) You mentioned in Vimeo that you used best CF cards, and that you had Digital Wrangel doing the job, do you remember the cards? Lexar and SanDisk have many speeds and versions, and they all seem to work differently.
4) How about the wranglers/yours work flow, did you have monitor with playback or did you check your material right after shooting from computer or other device?
5) What equipment was used for data transfer?

Thanks!

Nice one, enjoyed it very much!
Also the Making Of was very inspiring. Seemed like fun, and respect for the attitude!

Cheers!
