    For me, most things nowadays are more important than the camera. Because you get amazing image quality from many cameras. The light is more important, the performance is more important, the movement is more important, the ideas are more important.

      @@gtwester no they are not, moving your camera costs money, every slider, jib, gimbal, tripod, cablecam, ect. costs money. and if you look into it the cameras are easily priced out by that gear especially when you need high end gear for heavy cameras or if you need a bigger team because you dolly will not move by itself. And lights. i mean get a few hmis on cranes and you know what i mean same goes for preproduction, ideas and planning costs real money except you work for free. If you can move faster with a smaller team you can invest that into other parts of the project. if your camera ligke the ronin allows to get crane shorts super fast and easywith the flex system and so on without renting or buying extra gear you move faster though production. Your logic is not that realistic " If you can afford the camera you can afford the lights" would mean if you have 1000€ you also have 2000€ that does not make sense imo.

How can anything be more important than the device you're going to record with? Are the other items important? Absolutely but you start with the camera! You can make a bad film without lights, a gimbal or movement but guess what you can't make a film without? That's right a camera.

    i have the dji ronin 4d 6k and 8k and i used them along with the a7siii, a1, red gemini, black magic 6k and it totally delivered but in the scene it seemed to be rather hated and secretly used. One production House i worked with for example shows in their behind the scenes only red cameras and does not want the ronin to be seen (because it is so easy to use and does not look as pro as all that other camera gear). For me the Ronin means pulling off amazing shots in no time, every thing works right away. But i think DJI needs help to get the word out and it totally can be used for everything. It has a learning curve though. Everytime i use a conventional system with either steadycam vests or gimbal plus camera i am quickly reminded of the worth of the ronin.

    @zolafzinhail8412 Місяць тому +11

    It's great to see these cameras being used on larger scale productions. It reminds me of the days of film cameras, where the actual camera body was largely irrelevant. Film stock and lenses were way more important. There was only a handful of 35mm camera bodies and they all did pretty much the same thing, albeit some with higher framerates, less noise etc. As filmmakers I think it's necessary that we understand the relative importance of the camera, as lighting, lens and production design as well as a skilled DP will make even the cheapest of camera systems look brilliant. With this in mind I will say that as a camera assistant some of these newer camera options come with a lot of limitations in terms of practical use on set. I mainly work with Alexas and they're pretty much indestructible when it comes to issues such as overheating. They can be powered all day off a block battery, they don't have issues like SDI surging, they accept dual voltage etc. They also work with accessories most rental houses offer, and they are what most camera crews are comfortable using. Regardless of the job, as long as it is an Alexa I know I can get the camera built, troubleshoot any issues and customise for my operator/DP in pretty much the same way. When I use cheaper Sony cameras (the Venice is fantastic) or any Red systems, I find it much harder to plan ahead for any potential problems or fix issues whilst on the move. If I need multiple SDI outputs for different LUT's, focus monitor, directors monitor and DIT station I am also limited by my choices, and some industry standard accessories aren't fully compatible. For example, Arri's focus systems are pretty standard here in the UK and only have all their features accessible with high end cinema cameras. Arri and Venice cameras are also designed with rigging in mind, with cage systems to accomodate all the crap us assistants have to stick on the camera. Whilst some of these mid-budget cameras are lighter, this often is a disadvantage as handheld operating becomes very shaky with the added rolling shutter making images look cheaper. Saying that, the Creator looked pretty great, as do these clips in the video. I would be interested to know how the crew found the practical side of shooting on these cameras and whether they preferred the workflow after getting accustomed to it.

    Our production used to shoot with larger crew. They filmed mostly interviews/talking heads with the FS5 and cine lenses. When I got hired, we pivoted to shooting tons of b roll in labs, but filmed with only a single camera op. I had to push them to get an A7s iii because the speed we were filming made the FS5 impractical (not to mention hand and back breaking). Now I’m pushing for an Edelkrone Wing and a carbon fiber tripods rather than our massive Dana Dolly.

      Yeah, but the choice of lens makes almost zero difference on the production workflow, whereas your choice of camera greatly affects the number of people you need on-set, how much light you need, and how you handle all the camera movements. The choice of lens is basically "we liked these characteristics" and that's the entirety of the talking points on it. Tbh I think more of the look comes from the locations, vfx, lighting, and color grade... If they shot the whole thing on any other lens it would have cost and looked basically the same tbh.

      @@thatcherfreemanthis is not entirely true. The lens choices do have a gigantic effect on the workflow, and on the “look” as well.
      Where we make these decisions depends usually on the vision and the budget range. If we’re shooting on film for example, it is a big decision which lenses is to be used. It not only affects the look, but the amount of light, flare characteristics, draw, color temperature. Testing is key. For example if we’d shoot something that needs to feel “old and nostalgic” the sharpest and most modern lens might not be the right way to go. It’s all a chain that begins with the vision and ends with projection. And lenses do have a big part in that combination.

    I think we have come to a point that even with a simple cheap dslr camera or an iphone and some cheap accessories like gimbal carriers etc, you can really shoot a film, and enhance it with the current upscaling technologies that are available in very affordable consumer grade computers. It'll only take longer but you're on an ultimately budget tight system and considering the cost decrease, the production time becomes kind of irrelevant.

    Cool vid, but I do find that this democratisation of digital filmmaking does lend itself to a rather homogeneous look across the board. With regard to “Civil War” and the DJI Ronin 4D the key phrase here is “certain scenes/scenarios” as they used the Sony Venice and others for many scenes.

      you're correct they didn't choose it for certain scenes however it could have been used for the entire movie The only reason that they didn't is because they had the ability to shoot on something like a Venice which is a better sensor in terms of stuff like it's rolling shutter performance now you can work around that with the camera like the Ronin 4D and if they really wanted to they could have shot the entire movie on that one camera but that would have brought an opposite challenge the Venice is much easier to rig out with heavier Cinema glass which is what they were mostly using and to Riga Ronin 4D out with heavier Cinema glass takes time and is a little bit of a headache sometimes it is for that exact reason that they went with something like a Venice because it has a better sensor and it is able to be rigged out much easier in certain circumstances that's the same reason they chose the ronin 4D to begin with because you don't have to worry about rigging a camera like a Venice to a Steadicam or a gimbal so it's not that it couldn't have been done they just chose to do it this way because the amount of money spent renting of Venice was going to be less than the amount of time that they would have had to spend trying to make the Ronin work for everything now that's not saying it can't because it can it's just a b**** to do so especially if we're talking about a shooting scenario like we have on this movie where a lot of it is shot during sunrise or Sunset so you have a very tight window to work within and you want to be rigging as far in advance as possible and as little as possible so for a production like this where they are trying to keep their costs relatively low in comparison to the rest of the industry while maintaining quality it would be smarter for them to use a Venice for some of the more traditional static shots or car rolling shocks that you see in the movie again a lot of the reasons why the Ronin 4D wasn't used for everything isn't because it couldn't have been because it could have been it's because it was more convenient to use a camera that was able to be rigged out in such a manner that it could be done more efficiently throughout a day's shooting for example I could butcher my cow with a butcher's knife which is thin and flexible and very sharp and that would do the job perfectly making my life easier or I could butcher my cow with a kitchen knife still sharp but thicker and far more rigid which would slow me down throughout the day as I'd be striking bones I could normally bend my knife to avoid now I could still get it done it would just be a pain and Slow Me Down but once I've already butchered the cow and now it comes into the preparation of the food and all of the ingredients a more rigid chef's knife would benefit me more in that scenario so that's when I would use that not saying either one can't be used for either job because both can be used interchangeably it's just you lose Effectiveness when doing so and when you have access to the amount of money to allow you to get multiple cameras systems you should of course use the proper one for the job though at the same time if you don't you shouldn't let it limit you because the truth is most camera systems in this day and age are phenomenal

    So in essence, you can do a scene that used to take 5 hours to set up and shoot, in lets say 3-4 hours. Hence you can do the same amount that you used to be able to do in 12 hours, but in 8-10 hours. This means one of two things; either the production day will shorten to allow crew and cast to be able to have more family/friends/leisure time or more under-thought shit with an over worked crew and cast will be spewed out since you can now do more in less time. Which will it be? ;)

    It’s all about the story and none of the tech matters - until it does. The most innovative filmmakers have always exploited developments in new technology. From stedicam, fast lenses, SI-2K (Slumdog Millionaire), you name it at some point a film-maker with a vision has gone ohh I can do this now..
    The thing is, the tech matters for diddly squat if the writer , the actors and the director don’t have clue what they are doing.

    “ ….without the need for complex track setups like the Ronin 4d, makes a lot of sense “. This is so confusing grammatically: the words ‘like the Ronin 4d’ should be earlier in the sentence…this makes it sound like Ronin 4d creates need for complex track setups. I head this sentence 4 times to realise what the meaning and the grammar is. Just food for thought !

    What do you want form the "image quality" of a video camera for "cinema"? You want 14 stops of dynamic range, 12bit raw files IN 4K resolution or higher. There are literally DOZENS of "cheap" cameras today that easily give you that. The cat is out of the bag. Pandora's box is now open. There are maybe two dozen super cheap cameras that can give you a "cinema quality" image now. It's too late,...we are never going back. Any poor, TALENTED kid with an FX3, Atomos Ninja and Adobe Premiere can make a "cinema-quality" film...in his mom and dad's basement today.

    I'm not a fan of the term "democratizing filmmaking" which I've also heard elsewhere. Sure the equipment has become dirt cheap compared to just a few years ago, but if you're making traditional narrative films most of the other things you're going to need have actually become more expensive. Actors, costumers, production staff, etc. All things you need to make a movie and all of them expensive. Which is probably why you see so little of that type of filmmaking on platforms like this.

    Cheap and convenient is why nobody goes to theaters or buys films anymore. It's why consumers only use streaming services for $10/month. And Netflix slashes crew rates in half and why ROI on equipment purchases is unlivable. This downward trajectory started in the 2010's. Almost all of the industry wiped out their retirement funds this last year or so.

    But it is infuriating because, why? You gatekeep and keep all the money, don't hog all the tools we have to approximate what you did with all your money! The 4D isn't new. Neither is the FX3. These systems have always been some of our A-Cameras! We have been killing ourselves working and perfecting our craft with these tools, and now you all want to use them, they can be considered A-Cam material?
