Maxx 1 #1 April 5, 2007 Hey everyone, I'm a film student and interested If anyone has ever taken uncompressed HD (4:4:4) footage in freefall? With cameras like the Thomson Viper, Arriflex D20, Panavision Genesis or equivalent.. Please contact me. Regards, Max Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #2 April 5, 2007 I don't know that anyone has used a Genocide/Genesis in freefall, I know the Viper has never been used in freefall, the Arri D has been in freefall, HDCAM SR has been in freefall, I know a guy that is intending/planning the RED in freefall. The Dalsa Origin has been used in freefall. Electric Entertainment/Dean Devlin wanted to use the Genesis in freefall, but couldn't figure a safe way to do it. All of the movie "Flyboys" was shot with the Genesis, and they did use great imagination in placement/mounting. "Uncompressed HD" also refers to any 22:11:11 color sample with up to 3:1 compression which would encompass a lot of capture devices you're not mentioning. Why do you ask?

LouDiamond 1 #3 April 5, 2007 Is the IMAX camera considered HD? I know they used one for the wing suit footage in the Pure Adrenaline IMAX movie. It required a special set up on the body, similar to a tandem passenger as it is a very large camera. I have pictures of it being jumped at the house somewhere that I can post later."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #4 April 5, 2007 IMAX isn't considered HD, because it's film, but that's of little debate-value. 70mm is essentially 4k (in terms of what we can currently work with in the digital realm). Going by size alone, there are lots of monster camera rigs that have been jumped as chest mounts or other types of floater/separates including Bill Cole's Imax jump. But...for whatever reason, the OP is asking about 4:4:4 digital cams vs film cams. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
