Tom, Dino, and all--
I'm feeling a bit nervous and a little excited --so I know change is about to happen.
I'm leaving in a week to go to PA to work on a Hi-Def doc for 10-12 days. We're using rented Sony 900's (two crews), shooting in widescreen, 24p. The doc is going straight to conversion to 35mm for(hopeful)film release.
I, like most of us, am used to the 4:3 world. I'll be leaving my V59 behind and altho' it is switchable, along with two lenses, I've never been asked to shoot in 16:9. (4:3 is not a concern on this shoot).
Tom, I just re-read your post back in February on tips and thoughts about Hi-Def shoots. Thanks for the great insight. This will be my "first date" with both Hi-Def and the sony 900. Do you, or others, have other tips, advice, or web-sites where I can find info/manuals on this camera? I won't get the camera in-hand until the morning of our first day. (Not my call). We will have two monitors, only one is an HD monitor. We'll be fairly mobile, often handheld, wide-angle lenses, and small lighting kits, including tungsten and hmi's. Any thoughts?
