Hi Red,
This sunday and a week forward I have a DP client, that shoots a lot, he just did his first Hollywood feature etc. Now I talked him into shooting his next job of on epic instead of using a alexa studio with codec recorder (what he normally uses). He came by the office last week and I gave him the guided tour of the camera and as he shoots a lot of steady cam he very much see the benefits of the epic small size, etc.
Now all that is good and today he sent me an email, stating that the client, producer and all agree, that they want to do the epic thing. Great... Then his next question "So if we shoot 5kAna what compression rate should we use if we shoot it all in 100fps"....
Hmm, you can not shoot 100fps in that format, you need to go to 4k then you can shoot 120, 5kANA is only 96fps and then you really need to watch out for flicker as it's not dividable by 50hz....
The above reply to his question is not what I want to give him....
So please.... RED if possible, can we have 100fps on 5kAna?
I have the same little issue with another project shot with MP's down here in Thailand (german DP), they want to shoot high fps... but as the light will flicker at 96fps the biggest sensor option is 4k (works quite well as they use spherical lenses) or we could go down to 75fps at 5k (and hopefully get away from flicker. something I will need to test) But 100fps 5K would offcourse be ideal.
So (as you probably allready know) over here in pal/50hz land it's really hurting that the camera goes 4 fps slow from 100fps.
So please if you fix 100fps before the weekend I will have two quite major european DP's (both coming from alexa feature work) that will say "Whow, red really listen..." These 2 guys are all ready very happy with the camera, but if you would give them 100fps that would very much push them over the tipping point.
Thanx in advance :yesnod:
