I'm a physician documentary filmmaker in the middle of a shoot at a group home for the brain injured. It's very difficult to start and stop shooting with our subjects.
In the middle of the shoot someone apparently reset the nanoflash and it would not record on receipt of timecode. I called Dan Keaton who got us back on track immediately.
We've captured about 20 hours of footage over the past month , and the quality is excellent. The workflow is also greatly simplified, going straight to QT.
We are using long GOP, 1080p 24 psf, at 100 mb and the image is stunning. It allows us to greatly modify images in post. We've found that we can be far less demanding to our subjects during production when it comes to framing, when we can blow-up and crop images at ease later.
Tommy Schell also called us back as soon as he got in the office in response to our service call (within a couple of hours).
Thanks, Guys. We're more doctors than filmmakers, and this kind of response is incredibly helpful.
