Spring editionAll video related questions and discussion is intended for this thread. Here we discuss techniques, gear and anything else related to capturing video footage. Please don't pretend to be an expert if you don't know what you're talking about. Kindly leave your ego at the door.Posting short films/scripts or other work you've done is encouraged.We tend to use and recommend DSLRs/mirrorless cameras because they provide phenomenal picture quality for their price, have large sensors (ie the same size used in high-end cinema cameras, and larger) and have interchangeable lenses.In contrast, consumer camcorders often have much smaller sensors and a fixed lens.>STICKY - https://text.is/QZ1J>Helpful guide, additional books and more in-depth FAQs - https://web.archive.org/web/20200926115310/https://pastebin.com/kG0gRmTZ>NO ONE CARES WHAT AN EXPERT YOU THINK YOU ARE.

You all, there is no perfect anamorphic solution. Every anamorphic solution has flaws.
Nikon ZR, Panasonic S9 or Sony ZVE1?
>>4499512Literally any camera now is good. Like if it can do 1080p and above and look decent, you're good to go. I got a duct-taped partially broken Canon T2i I use with vintage lenses, and still have managed to get good images out of it. Any camera is useful now.
>>4499512lights and audio
>>4499504Anamorphic is way too expensive to buy. They are so many options now. Renting for anamorphic makes much more sense than buying.
>>4499512>ZRImpractical joke camera. The irony is that anyone it appeals to due its cheap price probably can't afford to utilise its actual qualities (needing a decent computer, expensive software etc).>S9Decent but basically a toy. At least it has 6k opengate.>ZVE1Decent but limited by the sony cripple hammer. Also prone to overheating.>tldr; just shell out an extra couple of hundred for a non-meme camera
So since arri's phone camera will inevitably flop, how long until they start licensing "official" arri log luts for every major camera brand (ie, an official phantom luts release)?
