Conclusions - Studio Test #2


Camera
  • 120 degree shutter seems to provide the best balance between minimizing motion blur and maximizing depth of field
  • f4 seems to be the best possible iris indoors without adding more lights
  • wider lens was better > could go even wider?
  • no gain greatly improved channel noise
  • depth of field is acceptable...wish it was better
  • watch out for iris shifts w/ auto iris
Studio
  • two scoops full on plus overhead kinos was acceptable...would love more light
  • white studio w/ green cloth greatly reduced spill
  • will need painted foamcore panels
Keying
  • will still be work w/ moving train
  • mo-blur better
  • noise better
  • spill better
All things considered, a successful baseline is now established for an item of this size, moving at this particular rate, in our studio with the existing resources. A small relief!

  1. Relief is good.

    Do you have new test shots of this setup /
    test of the key pull of your prop. That's
    got to be tough if the train has any amount
    of reflective / metallic surface. Might want
    to consider this when selecting your props.
    Don't pick that shiny chrome huffy.

    How about a lime green powerwheels (driven
    by a rapper of course).
