Stills from Motion

October 06, 2019 / Brendan McGinty

There are many reasons for shooting Raw, high resolution motion... from the substantial image benefits that come with downsampling, shot stabilising and reframing options, the future proofing of rushes, the rich grading depth of 16 bit colour, the extended exposure latitude, the 'softer' rendering that added resolution affords and last but not least the camera's potential to generate stills from motion.

Elizabeth I

June 24, 2017 / Brendan McGinty

In pre-production for the Elizabeth I series, starring Lily Cole, I discussed using a small degree of 'base layer' diffusion with maestro director Chris Holt. After extensive testing I settled on one of the Kipper Tie diffused Optical Low Pass Filters. These replace the existing Red OLPF and sit directly in front of the sensor for a light touch of softness and some highlight halation.
