Alright, so I've been searching and reading through this forum much of the day for an answer to my question and haven't been able to find anything.
Basically, I'm really interested in the Blackmagic Production Camera 4K and its potential use for live events. I like the idea of being able to use it in combination with the ATEM 4K switcher for live purposes. But, also the potential of using it for interviews or other cinematic like jobs as well. Here is where I'm a little confused. I've only ever used EF mount detachable lenses in a dslr setting (like shooting theatrical like trailers or short interview videos with my 5d).
So, the question is what type of lens and gear set up would you need for the BMPC4K that would allow you to zoom and follow a speaking subject, instrumentalist, dancer, actor or what have you, for a live event. Is this possible? Is it going to make the total cost of the camera and gear go up significantly?
I called B&H to ask them and the customer service rep seemed to think I was crazy for thinking this camera could be used in such a way and didn't even attempt to answer my question. However, it's been mentioned multiple times in interviews and across the web (including the "uses" section on the product page of blackmagic's website itself). Perhaps, one of you fine folk could point me in the appropriate direction?
