Shot colour even if going black and white - will help out the DI/grading process at the end.
If that's your list then shoot RED. The other chromas are not 4:4:4. Which makes everything look better but a just if your going to do any grading/green screen or just want this to look good.
That said this will slow your production down somewhat, so bar in mind the shots. It will be hard to cut together between cameras BUT shot what you can with what you can and that is a good list to have access too!
I only say no red as their colour pipeline and pipeline as a whole sucks balls (IMAO)!
Let me know if you need anything else.
- if you have a choice and budget - go Arri Alexamugwart
- as my experience ... I best not say as I work in film VFX and don't want to get into too much trouble again this week ;-)mugwart
- Awesome man - thanks for the tips! - This will be my first filmed short with a crew - usually do animated type stuff or just creative direction...antimotion
- Definitely no to low budget, but I believe in the script and way we'll shoot will make up for that - big believer in use what you have to the fullest for sure.antimotion
- will you be keying?mugwart
- if you have the time shot red.
if your budget/time is limited and you have more rigs equipment (jibs/dollyetc) go small cameras. Reds are fucking heavymugwart - good luck - let me know if you need a hand with anything.mugwart
- There may be a couple shots for keying... I was hoping to do everything in cam, but we'll see... Love to stay connected - any way to stay in touch?antimotion

Do try to shot all in cam. Even if it adds in a few days on the shoot. Post is hell!mugwart - Thanks again man - I'll pop over a note...antimotion
