With Guest Filmmaker, Director, Stefan Glidden

Part I

Larry Jordan: Hi. This is Larry Jordan. Welcome to an extra edition of HDFilmtools.Com. Today we're on offer to be looking on the Redrock Micro M2 Cinema Lens Adapter.

I'm at this juncture with my pleasant lonely, filmmaker Stefan Glidden, who's gonna assign us an overview of the outcome. Stefan, appreciation meant for being with us. How long comprise you been using the Redrock adaptor?

Stefan Glidden: I've been using this meant for something like a day right now.

Larry Jordan: And what did you say? Kind of shoots execute you make use of it on?

Stefan Glidden: Well, I'm a director and I make use of this meant for my melody videos. I make use of this on everything everyplace I'm using studio lighting everyplace I'm, you know, getting prepared up.

Larry Jordan: And what did you say? Brought you to it? I've heard a allocation of pleasant things something like it. What does it execute?

Stefan Glidden: Well, I heard something like it for the reason that I knew to I wanted my projects to look a allocation better than they did. Video looked boring. I was using HVX or the Sonys meant for melody videos. There was something missing, so I in progress investigating and I in progress looking up what did you say? The large stem was. Why can't I pick up what did you say? I covet obtainable of only a capture on film camera? And the fixation to set aside appearance up was depth of prevent. That if I wanted the quality of image to I was on offer meant for, I required to make use of 35mm lenses in front of the camera. And the outcome to I in progress examination a allocation something like and in progress getting really awful reviews was the M2.

So, I proverb about clips on it. And meant for what did you say? It did, and the consequences, and only the maneuver of using it, I went with the M2 and there's; I wouldn't become whichever other way. It really makes the difference flanked by, you know, ancestors take a look on it and say, "Oh, you shot to on a capture on film camera," versus, "Jeez, to looks really, really pleasant."

Larry Jordan: Why can't you pick up to depth of prevent obtainable of a stationary capture on film lens?

Stefan Glidden: Well, there's a combine of factors involved with to, but probably the biggest individual is the size of the token in the capture on film camera. Because the cost of making the chips are so expensive. A token is much, much less significant than the size of a frame of 35mm film. And that's the equivalent of shooting on an enormously prohibitive aperture. The privileged your aperture, the more depth of prevent you comprise. The wider range of acceptable focus there's gonna be.

And so after you're shooting on such a small token, it's like you're shooting on like an f/64. Everything's gonna be in focus. So what did you say? The Redrock does is by leasing you make use of 35mm lenses in front of your camera, you're combining the central chunk of the camera's lens with the central chunk of the 35mm lens, and the longer the focus chunk, the shorter the depth of prevent.

Larry Jordan: OK, we've got an HVX200 prepared up with the Redrock adaptor. Walk us through the pieces. Discriminate us what did you say? Everything is.

Stefan Glidden: Well, from front to back, this at this juncture is only a Canon 35mm FD lens. This is what did you say? They used to make use of on Canon still cameras.

Larry Jordan: Sure.

Stefan Glidden: And you've got; this respectable at this juncture, this little ring, that's the mount. And they move toward in numerous mounts. You can pick up a Canon. You can pick up Nikon. They comprise the Canon EOS meant for the newer lenses. All the way up to PL mounts.

Larry Jordan: Arriflex PL mounts.

Stefan Glidden: Yep. You can execute Arriflex. I think Zeiss moving parts on to. Panavison has its own decency mount. But, yeah, you can execute trained lenses on this fixation and to makes a titanic difference.

Larry Jordan: Wow. Great.

Stefan Glidden: And subsequently this is the tangible adaptor. Trendy at this juncture is the Cinescreen, which the image is paying attention on. It houses the battery as well, for the reason that the screen spins. Otherwise you'd think it over the grain on it. So there's a battery to keeps it on a constant hustle. And subsequently this part of the pack respectable at this juncture, this doesn't move toward with the regular kit. This is the MicroX, the flip adaptor.

The way the optics toil is after the light comes in, it flips the image. And so if you don't comprise this part of the pack, your image is upside down. So you'd either need to comprise a camera to can flip or a keep an eye on to can flip or about way to you can think it over the image.

Larry Jordan: Do it in post-production.

Stefan Glidden: Well, in place, yeah; but after you're shooting...

Larry Jordan: You don't covet to be looking on it upside down.

Stefan Glidden: Yeah. You need to think it over it the respectable way. So, Redrock came obtainable with this humbling tool. It's the MicroX flip adaptor. And to takes to step obtainable of post-production and it takes to step obtainable of your dash.

Larry Jordan: Very cool.

Stefan Glidden: Then we comprise the HD achromat, which is an extra sort of like magnifying lens to goes on the camera. And subsequently about of the brutal mount. And subsequently the remnants is the HVX. And with the novel Redrock package it comes with the plate and the mount and subsequently the rails to mount the Redrock on.

Larry Jordan: OK. So, tell me about of the things to I might need to be aware of after shooting with the Redrock adaptor.

Stefan Glidden: Well, the come to individual fixation is the back focus. You need to be selected for dependable to your back focus is prepared accurately. And to whoever's operating the camera, whoever's around the camera, doesn't bump it. Because the slightest little shove bumps it rotten and you're gonna comprise blurry footage. So, you've got to be selected for dependable to you know everyplace your back focus is and you're not screwing with it.

Larry Jordan: Right, but if your back focus is rotten, it will be reflected if you comprise an outer keep an eye on, correct?

Stefan Glidden: Yeah. You can think it over. And that's individual of the large things is you need to make use of an outer keep an eye on in order to pick up paying attention but besides to be selected for dependable to you're getting what did you say? You covet. Because you can think it over it in the little camera keep an eye on, but it really pays to pick up something better.

Larry Jordan: And you comprise the Marshall?

Stefan Glidden: I comprise a Marshall 7-inch HD keep an eye on.

Larry Jordan: Works well?

Stefan Glidden: Fantastic.

Larry Jordan: Great. Affordable?

Stefan Glidden: Well, kinda.

Larry Jordan: What something like vignetting?

Stefan Glidden: Well, that's an extra stem after you need to be selected for dependable to your zoom is prepared accurately so to you're not getting whichever of the shadows from the screen or whichever part of the Cinescreen.

And individual really effective fixation is on the HVX, it has records. You know, it has a come to importance meant for your zoom and a come to importance meant for your focus. And it helps, like, meant for the MicroX my records were 1776, so it was trouble-free to for ever and a day remember. And respectable right now I think it's 8585. And so I only remember folks records and I look on it and I become, "Yeah. I'm respectable. I know respectable everyplace I am."

Larry Jordan: Great. OK, so I understand you besides comprise to watch obtainable meant for a little crumb of light loss through the adaptor.

Stefan Glidden: Um-hmm. You know, you've got all this machinery flanked by your image and your camera, so you execute lose about light. When you're shooting inside you really need to comprise, if not you're in control sunlight, you've got to comprise about lighting.

Larry Jordan: That's pretty conventional meant for making a film anyway.

Stefan Glidden: Yeah. I mean, if you're using a better camera, there's besides, if you're shooting film you're on offer to need more light, so really it makes your production importance become up. But to besides income you execute need a crumb more production and you've got to comprise light; you've got to execute it a little crumb more real.

Larry Jordan: Right. OK. We're on offer to take a break and we're on offer to move toward back with Part II everyplace Stefan's on offer to program us how to assemble, calibrate, and assign us an pattern of what did you say? The Redrock can execute.
