Cinema Verite' 08

This sounds very interesting in theory, so how does one go about this in practice? It is clear that an A-Minima is an ideal but VERY EXPENSIVE solution. If one can believe all the hype regarding the RED cameras, the may make a 'break even' solution. The A-Cam is an afordable solution that may be easilly modified, but how does one prove the system at a 'grass roots' level?

Where I am going with this?


Well you can see how the system I have described works, you will also observe that the performance of the sound recording, slating & synchronization is likely to be very good. You will also observe that the performance of the VISUAL aspect of the system may 'frame up' accurately with a camera of a suitable focal length & a coupler. The quality of the image will depend greatly on the condition of the reflex system in the particular camera used, in an ACL it will not be flicker free.

This is a primary requirement for this application, so I will leave you to develop the 'lite' version if you wish, on an SR it will be flicker free. So why persevere with the ACL? Well you will begin to see in later postings that there is a solution and an early ACL may be picked up quite inexpensively, unlike SR!
