40 Minutes on DSLR Filmmaking with Shane Hurlburt (The Christian Bale Freak-Out Guy)

I stumbled across this over on PvC. . .


I haven't watched it yet, but I figured it was totally up our alley; here's the tag from PVC;

Cinematographer Shane Hurlbut and his collaborators at Bandito Brothers in LA have been shaking up the industry as they embrace the DSLR filmmaking revolution. We sat down with Shane, Bandito’s Jacob Rosenberg, and publicist Hesh Rephun at their amazing LA-area facility to talk about DSLR filmmaking. You can watch this 40-minute interview in two parts here.

PS. I love you, Pro-Video Coalition, even if you ARE wrongly skewed in favor of Premier.

EDIT: HA! I knew Shane Sounded familiar. From his Wikipedia article;

In 2008 Hurlbut again worked with director McG, as director of photography on the film Terminator Salvation. During shooting for the film in July 2008, Hurlbut faced an expletive-ridden tirade from actor Christian Bale, who berated Hurlbut for walking into a scene involving Bale and actress Bryce Dallas Howard. Hurlbut responded calmly and apologized several times to Bale, and continued shooting for seven hours after the incident. On February 6, 2009 Bale told KROQ radio that he and Hurlbut talked after the incident and "resolved this completely". Bale acknowledged the two worked together for several hours after the incident, and "at least a month after that", and noted "I've seen a rough cut of the movie and he has done a wonderful job. It looks fantastic".

Here's the recording. . . this thing will NEVER die. . .

Will update my instructions/workflow once it's out.





With so many projects shooting vDSLR, there's been some confusion with how to treat the footage. I usually use THIS workflow when coming back from Canon products. Here's an excerpt from it:

Shoot on 7D (This is the same for ALL Canon vDSLR cameras. -Ed.)1080, shutter 1/50th on 25 fps

Read movies from camera and store on backup HD

Use MPEG StreamClip (freeware) and it’s batch functionality to add all 7D clips to it’s batchlist and convert all these babies to Quicktime Movie : Apple ProRes codec -> convert all and save to project folder or “converted” folder on backup HD. Do NOT enable any scaling or deinterlacing options in this program, just set the Quality slider to 100% if it’s not already at that.

Use FCP to edit as usual, set project/renderer to ProRes or ProRes-HQ (bit over the top maybe…)

The thing to remember is ALL the Canon vDSLRs shoot Quicktime movies in the H.264 Codec. . . Make sure you budget enough time and storage space for your considerably larger Pro-Res files. To save on time, COPY all the files from your CF cards, but only transcode your CIRCLE TAKES from your camera reports. . .


HERE'S THE DOWNLOAD LINK FOR MPEG STREAMCLIP
