How Many Of You Planning A Movie Theater Feature On The 8x Fixed Scarlet?

[Jeffrey Loewe]

Where are you shooting where you wouldn't be able to switch lenses? Also regarding switching lenses regarding actors, how are you supposed to light a scene if taking five seconds to switch a lens messes up their performance?

Well I should say it differently. I have the ability to change lenses but it's inconvenient and would often miss action. I shoot skiing and surfing. Surfing in particular is pretty brutal for lens changes, Salt water and cameras don't mesh. Skiing is a little more doable but it happens pretty quick especially in a competition setting. Now when it comes to lifestyle, b-roll and build up shots thats where the lens interchangeability has me interested. I'd love to pick up a scarlet interchangeable body just for that purpose.

I admire anyone that shoots a feature, no matter what camera they use. It's a big endeavor to shoot that much footage and get it all edited, with a sound track, to a finished movie.

I made fun of Birdemic in an off topic thread, but it was just in light hearted fun. I actually do respect the director for getting his feature made. I wish I could make something that got this much buzz, and shown in a limited theatrical release.

I would love to do a feature one day, but don't know if I'll ever manage it. I think the Scarlet fixed would be a great camera for it.

For Feature film. The best will be the interchangeable lenses version not the fixed. you are too limited. no macro pro lense etc.

This is a discussion of films shot with only a single prime lens:
