Hey everyone, here's the follow up trailer to my film Sleepwalkers, which I linked here a while back:
https://vimeo.com/105005663
We used many, many cams on this production. Mostly Red Scarlet. Some scenes were shot entirely with the Blackmagic 2.5K + BMCC edition Speedbooster. The Pocket was used for b-roll & second unit shots (and some smaller scenes). I also used the 5D Mark III with Magic Lantern for some scenes, 60p, and b-roll.
During 2nd unit, I tested the BMPC 4K, but it was unacceptable to use at the time. I loved the 2.5K and Pocket, so I'm interested to give it another try now that the FPN has been addressed to some extent.
Scarlet was the clear winner, but the footage still cut seamlessly. I sold my Scarlet right before NAB, as it was very hard to justify the additional money invested into that package. I was considering Scarlet Dragon for the next one, but I don't know at this point...I've shot some pretty gorgeous footage with Blackmagic, the GH4 and A7S. It's definitely a strange period to invest heavily in a high end camera package.
I'll post a version with camera breakdown some time next week.
PS: Massive thanks goes to all of the fine folks on Reduser who helped me with tips, troubleshooting, workflow, etc. during my time with the Scarlet. If anyone has any questions, ask away, I'd love to return the favor.
