Hey,
I'm still waiting to get my BMCC, but in the meantime I still hasn't decided on the rig/setup how I could, and want to use it. I want to use this setup for a fiction film, so not for corporate videos or interviews. So the visual aesthetics of the setup should not be immaculate as it would be required in the previously mentioned types of shooting. So for my feature film I thought...
1, I would use the BMCC directly attached to the Manfrotto quickrelease plate, and thus on the video head and the tripod. I would fix my SWIT battery on the tripod somehow.
2, For handheld use I would unplug the battery from the camera, and detach the camera from the tripod, so basically I would have the bare camera body + lens for a mobile handheld setup.
What do you think of this solution?
I saw John Brawley's handheld demo of the BMCC on vimeo (http://johnbrawley.wordpress.com/2012/1 ... rty-blues/), and really loved the look he could get with the bare camera.
I feel that a shoulder rig restricts me, while a handheld setup like this, or a simple one like "mancam", would not.
So, tell me what you think!
Thanks!
