Here is a liitle behind the scenes of our camera prep for a short film tilted "Someday Hero" written and Directed By, Darcy Fray. We are using both a Canon5D Mark II and Canon 7D. We are also using Zeiss ZE Primes a Canon 70-200mm and a Tokina 16-50mm. Following focus with an Arri MMF-1 Mini Follow Focus. We are using a mix of Red Rock Micro and Zacuto accessories on the set. I hope they play nice. Marshall monitors for monitoring and a bevy of other gear supplied from Birns and Sawyer, Hollywood. Thanks for all the support. We will try to shoot "BTS dailies" to document our process. Thanks for checking it out.

Here is some BTS from our third day of shooting "Someday Hero" Written and Directed by Darcy Fray. This scene is a fight between a husband and wife interior kitchen set. I wanted a "Magic Hour" feel to the interior lighting so I used two little 200W Kobold HMI's. They were just enough to expose the room and still gave us the hard light we wanted. One of the best features of HDSLR is their low light capability. We were able to match exposure to within one stop from the exterior to the interior with only two 200W lights! The Kobold's are awesome. They stay cool to the touch and can be adjusted without gloves. I found this feature super handy.

Here is a quick take on the Sennheiser MKE 400 mini shotgun microphone. It is a great tool for HDSLR work. We beat the crap out of ours and it always performs. The only downside is no real indication of battery life. There is a small blip when it is turned on but then it goes away. We have to turn it on and off throughout the day to make sure the battery is still good.

Here is a little BTS action from our fist day of shooting "Someday Hero". We used China Balls with 200W bulbs and dimmers to light this fight scene where "Jack" sees his father abuse his mother. This is a pivotal scene in the film, so we used two cameras. A Glidecam in the hallway and handheld inside the room. We shot this BTS video on the iPhone 4 and cut it with the iMovie App on the iPhone 4.

Here is a little BTS from our second day of shooting "Someday Hero" Written and Directed by Darcy Fray. This day the we only really used the 5D Mark II for most of our shots. The 7D played both BTS and "B" cam. I lived all day on the Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS lens with the Light Craft Workshop Variable ND filter. I went with the variable ND to be able to open up as the day progressed into night. Our lead actor Jason Devan was fantastic. The costume drew some major attention when we got on the Venice beach walkway. Thanks to our man Qwiz for hooking up this edit.

Here is a quick take on the new Carl Zeiss Lenses Compact Primes. The new CP.2's are available in either Canon EF, Nikon or PL mounts. They have a small baffle in the rear of the lens that helps control lens flare. They are not cheap at around $3500 each but they are well worth the price. The glass is hand picked in Germany and they are uniform in size. Currently they are some of the few Cinema Style lenses that will cover a full frame digital sensor.

Here is a little quick take on the new Switronix Powerbase 70 for Canon HDSLR's. This battery will last all day and still keep kicking ass. For around $300 you get the battery, charger and Canon LP-E6 adapter. Additional batteries are ony $200. This is a much better deal than getting a bunch of Canon LP-E6 batteries and swapping them throughout the day. This is going to be a potent weapon in my hand held arsenal.
