The following video is real. These are not actors. This was not staged for the camera. These are real filmmakers. Talkin’ real filmmaker talk. This is really how we filmmaking geeks talk when you get us within a few feet of one another for more than 30 seconds. (Filmed in route to Shane Hurlbut’s Master Cinema Series Premiere). Starring Matt Jeppsen of FreshDV and Boston-based filmmaker and camera DP Tom Guilmette. They share which acquisition formats they like to use and why, and Matt shares what format he likes to edit in. At one point Tom talks about using Zeiss CP.2 lenses at T2.9 or 2.1. If you need a refresher course on what the heck-fire he’s talking about, read my blog post primer on using the Zeiss CP.2.

Matt is so smart, but I wish he would speak in a language I’m familiar with 😉 Great job Ron.
Glad you like it Steve. That was only one small part of the conversation. They were going on like that for at least 5-10 before I was smart enough to pull out my Flip. I’m afraid my readers’ heads would explode if they got the whole nine yards. 🙂
That was something between Klingon and Elven. I tried to google some of what they said and the site crashed.
Qapla’
I understand it all, i wonder if i’ve spent too much time in the geek world (lol)
Welcome to the club Morgan. 🙂
Harmonic, prototype logistically prompt harmonic computer element recursive, fragmentation disk. Overflow logistically sequential floating-point phaselock application, proxy cache. Sequential overflow bypass pulse echo includes patch logistically.
Read-only, bypass logistically application normalizing, overflow disk read-only, n-tier silicon element recognition. Arrray resistor bypass metafile element, cache system supporting, kilohertz logistically, high messaging interface, integral.
I’m just saying…
So I think the big message is acquisition codec is important for grading video footage.
