Afterlife - Equipment

We will be using the Blackmagic Mini Ursa Pro cameras for Hope (tech dem can be found here). Here are some numbers;

I have decided to film the project in 2k Pro Res HQ. It's better quality than HD and looks better. I chose against 4K due to offline editing, space and it will have to be spot on. I think 2k is more than enough for what the director envisions. Shutter angle and ISO will be default unless we are filming in slow motion. Doing a few tests, the best were at 90fps (normal will be 24fps as it's the norm and more cinematic). Slow mo tests can be found here.

Lens use will be various depending on the shot, most of it will be close ups so the 50mm will be used the most. We will also be using the 100mm macro from photography for the XCU of Hope's eyes.

We would have loved to use the jib for the opening shot but can't due to space. But we do have the addition to a portable lighting kit. We will also be using the studio LEDs for portability, slider/studio tripod, tripods, quick release plate, and shoulder rigs. Fig rig and the monopod may also be used for more stable handheld shots. We are not using red heads due to the electric consumption and lack of portability.
