We had the opportunity to visit the Digital Motion Picture Center at Sony Pictures in Culver City.

The DMPC offers weekly hands-on training on Sony’s full range of Super 35mm cameras, including the F65 CineAlta™ digital motion picture camera and the F55 4K digital camera.

Today’s training was for the Sony F55. When we arrived in the morning we were seated in the theater section fitted with the latest Sony 4K projector. Spent a couple hours going through the Sony F55 features and recording formats.

UCLA EXTENSION – CINEMATOGRAPHY

POSTED ON January 28th  - POSTED IN Info, Photography

UCLA Extension

Hollywood Camera Inc is currently hosting a series of classes that are part of the UCLA Extension certificate program in cinematography taught by DP Charles Rose AIC.

The certificate program in cinematography is offered by the department of entertainment studies of UCLA Extension and it requires approximately one and a half years for its completion.

Students from all over the world attend the program and Hollywood Camera Inc is very excited to be a selected vendor of this 100 years old educational institution by providing camera equipment and a production stage for tomorrow’s filmmakers.

Today we had students get hands on with the Arri C2 35mm film camera. It was first released back in 1937 and was one of the first film cameras used in the early years of Hollywood. Instructor Charles Rose covered the theory of film and the mechanical parts of this camera, then students all had a chance to set up tripod, load film and shoot some test shots with the Arri C2.

Sony FS7

POSTED ON January 21st  - POSTED IN Info, Photography

The Sony pxw FS7 records in XAVC codec on internal XQD media cards in UHDTV 4K resolution (3840×2160), and with a firm update some time this quarter it will also capture full 4K (4096×2160). It can also acquire 12 bit 4K RAW footage when it is paired with the Sony AXS-R5 recorder and the HXR-IFR5 deck. Alternatively, it is also possible to capture RAW using the Convergent Design monitor and recorder Odyssey 7Q. If its promo work or run and gun shooting the Sony FS7 also captures HD in 10bit 4:2:2, which is an amazing format for a super 35mm senor in this price range. Slow motion is capable at 60fps in 4K and 180fps at HD resolution.

Our package can include the new Sony Zoom lens 28-135mm F4 which is fully integrated with the ergonomic handgrip (Start/Stop & Zoom Control) for those that are using the camera in ENG / Broadcast mode.
