Like everything else from Zacuto, at least twice as expensive as it should be.
I didn't miss the point at all, I understand Fincher is a perfectionist and does the extra things he deems necessary as an elite A List Director. I lean more toward the Eastwood school of fully prepared actors getting one or 2 takes and moving on. I also believe the shot can actually be framed correctly on the set while shooting, not second guessing in post. Everybody has their own process and all that matters is the end result - Gone Girl is a great movie but it would have been great without 6K, stabilization, green screening exteriors etc. because the script and performances were great. Did I say great too much?
Finally watched Gone Girl last night and really liked it. But the entire time I was thinking what's the big deal about the 6K workflow? He could have shot the movie with an Alexa, it would have looked much nicer and he would have saved a small fortune on the ridiculously absurd 6K workflow which didn't translate into a better movie or one more ticket sold. But hey, great movie, made a boatload of cash, so who am I to talk...
Wow what a nice eulogy Joe - sad story, so young. I would wish all of us have a friend like you standing by that would take the time to remember us with so much love.
Very funny and nice shots! But I still have not seen an FS7 or A7S test with good skin tones! Every test looks like no ones ever been in the sun before.
