I'm a producer, not a cinematographer.

Expand postI'm a producer, not a cinematographer. When I choose the camera for my production, I have to take into account a number of factors that a cinematographer doesn't have to consider--cost, ease-of-use, manpower, post workflow, cost (yes, twice!), etc. I attended an excellent seminar a few months ago in Los Angeles by the DP of all those great SNL shorts, Alex Buono. He gave an incredible lecture called "Demystifying The Camera," designed for micro-budget producers like me. It was so terrific, I boiled it down into a blog article. Before you make your next feature, give this a read! http://nobudgetfilmschool.com/demystifying_the_camera.html

Expand commentRoyce, we're really on the same page. I totally agree with you on a "logical" approach to choosing a camera. You're right, tools are just tools. More experience and knowledge (of tools) increases the filmmaker's ability to make an informed decision that is right for their film. That being said, I believe that many filmmakers give their tool selection too high a priority thinking that it will make or break their film. IMO, they would be much better off putting more energy into choosing the best cast and crew, rehearsing with actors, getting great locations, and honing their scripts and visual language. Instead of "fixing it in post," why not fix it in pre-production? BTW, I'm not completely against 4K capture as it does offer advantages. But in some cases (especially with very low budgets), choosing those tools can hamper the film more than help. It's overkill that saps money and energy away from more important decisions.

Expand commentAs you are not a cinematographer, heres how it is. I have been for 30 years. Producers would come to us, ask for camera order, no issue. Then we would select film stock based on what would most suit the look and parameters of the project. With digital, the cameras are like film stocks, and the cameras vary greatly, many just don't look that good. Yes, producers think they know what we need, but it's based on budget not a decision based on the many layers of what a cinematographer bases his camera choice on. So for cinematographers it's so frustrating when producers who think they know select a camera or us. Mostly they don't.

Expand commentI own my camera's such as they are and most indie projects just don't have the budget to run out and buy or rent any camera they want . now days people are posting adds looking for cinematographers who own a specific camera or camera's yet their budgets for said cinematographer doesn't make it realistic. I mean if I owned 4 Red Cameras and all The accessories it takes o run them? I couldn't justify showing up for a shoot that pays only 60.00 an hour or a couple hundred dollars a day but I can show up with a Panasonic AG-HVX200ap or a good DSLR rig while its a good topic in my experience it becomes moot the second they determined the budget
