  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

BRUCE WEBER and his EPIC

Christian Pfeil said:
can anyone point me out the best settings for shooting
fashion on the epic and get the best movie result (for hd internet
vid) and on the extracted stills. (motionblurwise and so on...)

one option is to use HDRx in a different way.... one track for normal motion.. the short exposure track for sharp stills.
 
Thats a great trick! Makes total sense. Is there a way to tell what the shutter angle/time is on the X track vs whatever the A track is set to? is it based on the # of stops chosen AND the A track setting?

I'm hoping / thinking we might actually get some specific control over that as the camera's "still" functionality is enabled.

Is it possible to just extract one stream and not the other, I've only seen talk of combining the two tracks.

cheers

I see that I'm not the only person that's so crazy about his dog! He's a great shooter. Right that he should be using the Epic.
 
Amazing!!!

And now finally Scarlet-X like a replica of Epic-X becoming affordable digital camera of choice for everyone creative in the field of photography and moving images.

Jarred, how would you expose for both? Seriously, curious. I'm FASCINATED by the idea of motion stills together.....

tons of fashion photographers are doing this now because they usually have such control of lighting conditions. They usually do it by a combination of 2 stop HDRX and rating the camera down in ASA to compliment and just keep an eye the top end of exposure... then pushing the footage a stop at the end. The limitation of dynamic range from going down in ASA doesn't really matter much to them as most medium format cameras that they are used to using have a much lower range than the Epic/Scarlet has, those cameras usually land around 11 or 12 stops ( same as most DSLRs ) so they are used to lighting for that range, and the majority of fashion doesn't involve a ton of contrast to begin with. that way they can get 1/48th shutter for motion with normal motion blur, and get 1/192 worth of freezing shutter action.
 
Love it. This is where I'm going....

Just to be clear, you are saying they rate and expose at iso 200? Then use a combination of normal and HDRx for motion and just the HDRx track for the stills?
