Best Camera for Shooting Reality TV

Hello fellow filmmakers ...i would like your opinios on the best camera for shooting reality TV

Andrew Sobkovich

Different exhibitors have different Production and Post-Production requirements. Yes, Netflix is 4K. But not just any 4K. These are their requirements.

Of course its always best to start high and be able to downgrade from there. No argument from me.

Anamorphic Adapters

Hi I've been toying with the idea of shooting a short film with the C300 Mark ii and an anamorphic adapter - like the lotus 35or SLR magics. Has anyone had experience with them? Thoughts, suggestions, ideas & opinions appreciated.

David Timber

Sounds interesting. I haven't had the opportunity to experience that combination, but I would like to find out.

Royce Allen Dudley

Because you like oval bokeh, or ? Serious question; what benefit do you expect over a mere crop-shoot 2:35/2:40? No need to explain anamorphic, I am curious why you want to stack optics.

Sigma Cine Zooms Lens

Hi: I'm thinking of picking up the Sigma Cine Zooms for a low budget horror shoot because of the T2 & because we are planning on using a gimbal (so less balancing time) along with the Canon C300 Mark ii (at 4k raw). Has anyone had any experience with this combination and thoughts on how the tonality...

Found a link to this yesterday. Knowledgeable DP testing the lenses. Interesting results. As always testing by someone else is always prone to being questioned. Read carefully and think about the impl...

Directing for the first time for a horror?

What advise would you give a first time director for a horror short?

Lindbergh E Hollingsworth

Go watch a few horror shorts or feature films. Pay attention to how tension is built. Then have at it!

Mark Vadik

Get a Good DP - let him/her focus on the look and you focus on performance

Aaron Avalon

Pay attention to lighting, especially if you're filming a lot of night scenes. Learned that the hard way on our first horror short film lol.
