Hi Folks,
Just looking for a little advice here (and perhaps some piece of mind). Like a lot of you on here I was hoping to get my hands on a 4K last summer. (I know, what was I thinking?! ) Anyway, I was in fairly early with a deposit with leading UK supplier and believing that 'shipping in July' was actually gonna happen I planned to do a few small commercial films with it. I'm not a full time filmmaker but I do a certain amount of product / fashion photography and recently I've started doing video for my clients and plan to move more into this side of things. I also make my own films.
I have to produce a bigger film for a client starting in about 2 weeks and I guess I'll just have to do it on my trusty 60D. But just seeing that some BMCC's are available from the supplier (that I have my deposit with) I'm half tempted to go for one. Especially as the price is dropped quite a bit and I can also claim vat. I'd probably go for the ef mount as I have Canon glass. But then there's the 5D3? which can film raw (not as large or nicely as the BMCC) but that lovely full frame that doesn't crop everything like the BMCC will. Plus I can use it for the photography side of things too. Before you suggest that I've already answered my own question please bear in mind that I love the look of the BMCC and really want to get into the raw workflow as compositing and colour correction is something I love.
So what do you think I should go for?
Hugh
