I’m doing steadicam operating on a TV show. My new (to me) 2DS is keeping me entertained when waiting for the next shot.

I didn’t choose the camera… believe me it’s not my first choice.

Story of my life. What’s your ideal?

[–] LazaroFilm 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

ARRI Alexa35, with a set of Atlas Orion anamorphics. Amazing image, great weight, strong as a rock. Flies like butter. This Red camera is too light for me. I want the weight for extra inertia and balance. Second choice would be Sony Venice2 with some Cooke series.

You shoot HDE files on the Alexa35? My post team recently got back a mag that Premiere (even Beta) absolutely refused to read even after trying it run it through Arri's HDE decoder software. Couldn't get it to load on Avid either, but could just be lacking some weird extension. Had to make ProRes transcodes through Resolve which was painful af to toss all that quality out.

I have no idea. I like the A35 because it’s the perfect size and weight for Steadicam (although the 24v+ power is annoying).
