what happened to that post where you harped on a bunch of the well known filmmakers for there obsessions? i never got around to reading it and now its gone…

have you been censored?

Haha, I think you got me confused with Stu Maschwitz. That guy has a lot more cred than I ever will in the blogosphere, and the post is still active if you’re interested. He’s taken some shit for what he said, but that’s mainly because people didn’t actually read the post properly. A gentle ribbing is all well and good for the guys he talks about, including himself. I regularly call myself a moron, because I am one most of the time. The wonder is I get anything made at all the number of stupid things I do.

something about canon glass that i don’t like. too warm, redish etc. I can’t wait to see this graded.

To be fair there’s a lot of red in those locations as well, but I know what you’re saying. Hurlbut calls it a ‘creamy’ and having shot on the Zeiss lenses I have noticed a more clinical representation of the image. It’s also down to the white balance as well of course. Grading will be very interesting I’m sure, as it always is. Normally we do a one light grade to even out the images then work from there, but you don’t have a huge amount of room to move with DSLR footage so we’re going to have to be quite careful about protecting our image. It’s all low budget though so we have to take the rough with the smooth. The 5D is great but it’s no miracle worker, at least not yet anyway!
