I’m shooting and editing more RxPrep lectures. Nothing too fancy; just some standard def academic material for web subscription. Instead of using a second DVX this time (for board writing CUs), I thought I’d mix formats by shooting my DVX at 30P and my 7D in standard def, at 60 frames per second, since that’s the only setting for 640 pixels across. Despite the excess fps, that gives me way more card space – about an hour and a half on a 16GB card. The 4 GB individual file size limit is around 26 minutes at 60/640, as opposed to 12 minutes at 1920×1080. And it’s four or five hours of lectures, so I’ll have enough CF memory (64 GB) without needing to clear anything. The 7D may need a cooldown after a few hours, no biggie. This test, from a 29.97 timeline, tells me it’ll work just fine.

30P on DVX, 5600K
60/640 on 7D, 5600K
Ikan LED, 5600K – Figured I’d horse around with the light to see how the three daylight balances look, and to compare temps when dimming.

I have never/always wanted to mess with IMDb. Now I’ve at least managed to get my NBC credits on there.
