Shooting with the EX-1, Canon 7D, and AJA KiPro

Canon 7D on set.

Just finished the second 16 hour day on a music video shoot here in San Francisco.  Lots of green screen, set pieces, and waves of red satin.  I’m finally getting to shoot with our AJA KiPro. This morning I shot with the EX-1 using 35mm Nikon glass on a CineVate adapter.  It was feeding the  1080p video via HD-SDI.  Later on in the afternoon (and into the night), I had it hooked it up to the Canon 7D, acquiring picture via HDMI.  I can’t wait to see the images.

More details later, when I’m sure it’s OK to talk about. :)

Latest project: “CONFINED”, a horror short shot on the Canon 7D

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

The weekend before last, David and I worked on our next project in the pipeline, the horror short “CONFINED”.    It was a two camera shoot, using the new Canon 7D HD-DSLR.  David was Second Unit Director, and I was DIT for the single day shoot, as well as Post/VFX Supervisor for the project.  I also got a chance to work with a beta of Red Giant Software’s Grinder, which does a great job of transcoding the heavily compressed H264 QuickTime clips into Apple ProRes 422. For ease of editing, and to give us a bit more to work with when doing VFX and Grading.

The project is currently in the edit stage, I’ll post a bit more when it’s back in-house for finishing. Until then, you can catch up with the news and watch the brand-spanking new trailer here:  CONFINED Blog & Trailer
