LETS TALK ABOUT ALL THESE ORISIRISI CAMERAS

I wanna talk about one of the most challenging decisions you will have to make as a filmmaker in Nigeria. We love effizy and we usually get led astray by them. Contrastingly, we also love to cut corners and end up suffering for it. On Saturday, I will help you make smart decisions about which camera to buy/rent and why Big cameras do not always make big movies.

But to make this detailed enough, I want you all to send me questions on camera choices you want to make. Also let me know what you have been told so I can help clarify them technically and from experience.

Producers and directors home and in diaspora will find the post very very useful. 80% of the time, our camera choices are wrong.

Hit me up with questions and rumors you’ve heard and I’ll prepare for Friday night’s post on cameras.

I love cameras quite alright, and if i were to get a camera, an affordable one. Three things come to mind. 1. The dynamic range 2. The frame size (full frame, APS-C or Micro 4 third) 3. Performance in low light (This one is the most important of the three) Right now my dream camera is Canon C300 Mark II. Its packs with it all i need for an awesome shoot. But as a poor boy weh i be, i use this principle... its not about the body, its about making use of the right lenses. Its worked for me in many ways. The real magic happens in post if you execute your shoot with precision.

Another great topic of intention, will you be including the choice of whether to hire or buy camera or filming equipments? I think this is also an area to explore.

I use a Canon 5D Mark 3 with some lenses. I made a music Video for a client who later said that it was turned down because it did not meet up to their requirements. I wonder what I did wrong though I shot at 24 frames before he sent the sheet from MTV Base saying 25fps. Since then I have been shooting 25fps but I wonder what else i might be doing wrong. Would also like to know the best Render settings to achieve best quality after shooting with the 5D Mark 3. Lastly, is my Camera still good for the market when making a top notch film for Cinema view? Thanks
