your first thing to record in 4k?

[luis bustamante]

i've been thinking what will be my first subject to shoot in 4k. It sure will be a big moment for me!

Anybody given a thought to this? It'd be great to find about other people's plans!

cheers!

"...press record."
"Is it going?"
"I think - yeah, it's going. Holy shit. I'm shooting 4K right now."
"This is so cool! Think about it... 28MB... 28MB... 28MB..."
"Yeah man... oh geez, look at the depth of field."
"Focus on that lamp."
"...there. That's fantastic."
"Bring the exposure down a little?"
"Yeah... there we go. Hold on, let me pull up the histogram."
"..."
"Ok, got it. I remember Graeme said to expose to the right... like this."
"Sweet!"
"Ooo! Where's the focus assist?"

...

 

[ChristopherKenworthy]

Human skin, close up, with available light. Then lots of other things, with available light. Then I'll get my DP to come around and let him get his lights out...

 

[Rick Darge]

Hahahaha yes

funny enough... this was pretty close to what really happened the first time we turned on Franky.

 

[Tom Lowe]

If it's like all my other cameras, probably my dog or my balcony or something.

 

[Don Woods]

That is awesome. Just ad yelling in the back ground... "Don't break it" "Do You even know what you are doing"

 

[Learvis Templeton jr.]

I'm going to shoot the box it came in nothing like cardboard in 4k!

 

[IAN SUN]

My monitor displaying an image of my bank's website, and my empty account.

 

[IAN SUN]

Oh yeah and my massive indebtedness.

 

[Ace]

Word of advice. Dont go trying to shoot any of those "special" home videos in 4k.

Porn?


Er... Anyway, my first subjects will probably be kids, dogs, cat, the neighborhood... Trees, bushes, cars, random people...

 

[Jochen Schmidt-Hambrock]

Yep, should be big fun spray-make-up-ing an entire porn cast for a 4K shoot.

 

[Milan Nikolic]

In my case it will be a mass of people walking down the busy shopping street - with my 300mm RED lens!

 

[Phil Becque]

I'm very lucky - I live on a hill overlooking the Thames Valley - assumming it isn't hissing it down with rain I'll go to a local beauty spot - Winter Hill - you often get really nice clouds over the valley.

I have no idea what type of lens I'll need for that ? Any thoughts? What is anyone's opinion of Cokin filters? I purchased some for my other DV cameras and they seemed to work OK - but would they be good enough with a PRO lens of some sort?

All suggestions welcome.

Thanks, Phil

The real question is; can 4k as a distribution medium catch on in the marketplace if it doesn't make porn more accessible, more exciting, etc. Every other recent market penetration story includes a real push from the mega-billion dollar porn industry.

For 4k porn the casting may take longer than the shooting and the make-up crew may outnumber all the other departments. Of course I always seem to fall for the makeup girls anyway...
