Film look with the F55 on “Uncommon Enemies”Dennis Hingsberg
DP Dennis Hingsberg talks about shooting with the Sony F55:
For setting exposure I used my light meter religiously along with the waveform monitor built into the ikan D7W. Most of the scenes I was lighting for a max contrast ratio of 5:1 but generally talent was lit between 2:1 and 3:1, or sometimes more depending on where on the set they were or how the light was suppose to be motivated. I kept middle grey in the low 30’s and any bright light sources from exceeding 60-65 IRE.

Stefan Müller is an Independent Film director from Austria who recently purchased a Canon C100 and sent us a link to his "first real life test of the camera," a short film called "The Scent."It's nicely done - especially the dog's performance!
It was shot using the internal AVCHD compression on the C100, using a Canon EF-S 17 - 55 f2.8 lens; a Rode stereo Video Mic Pro; a Manfrotto 055xpro tripod with the 501 head and a Kessler Stealth Traveller Slider.

Looking For a Gig vs Creating Your Own as a Filmmaker | Thaddeus Setla | Zacuto
I had just gotten my feet wet with this documentary and it was clear that if I wasn’t telling the genuine stories of first responded around the world, who would? I had found my niche, and even though I wasn’t the first person to tell the stories of the first ones who responded, I had to be better and I had to do it different! I started following people like Shane Hurlbut, ASC, Den Lennie, and many more people that not only inspired me, but took the time to speak with me.
