Re: Freelancer work flow as an owner/operator of a HVX.

Toki,

No arguement from me on D0F. there is no way that you'll get similar DoF with the HVX, but with carefull planning and lighting I think it will be possible to get very acceptable results with the HVX. It seems that if they went to this extent to match the 900 that it must be a pretty important component to their workflow. And it was so important that it was nessesary to degrade the quality of the image from the better camera's so that they would have the freedom to use the tools they wanted to use.

That is smart film making. They took all of the tools they wanted to use and made them work together to make the film. It's great that they had so many options and so many choices to make. Going back to my orginal point. It will be interesting to see if people go with a Varicam and an HVX or maybe just two HVX's or Two Varicams. All of this depends, to a certain degree on budget of course, but I might go for the camera that records 1080 and then work take a lot of care with making that 1080 image look as good as it can with the tools and budget I have to work with.
