That does make sense, I suppose I could create a file with the look and then monitor it on set. I have been a little headstrong on doing mostly practical/physical effects work on this video, but there’s no reason not to be open to this idea. Anything to make things easier and less complicated on set right? Appreciate the insight!
This is a good point, and i’m definitely interested in using diffusion in post production on other projects! The flexibility makes a lot of sense, and thanks for the plugin suggestion! For this video I have the freedom to experiment and “bake-in” effects like this, so i’m less concerned with flexibility. I’m curious to use more traditional glass filtration, and make creative decisions in pre-prod and on set rather than make them in post for this project. Thought it would be a good exercise to learn about diffusion choices and do them in-camera!
If you are only looking at cameras in this price range, any camera will do just fine for an indy project like this. Just rent a mirrorless setup. Most important thing is that you make the project!
The other option would be to use that money and hire a cinematographer. Or even find someone in school that knows cameras better, and is eager to work on their cinematography.
I suggest either shooting it with whatever you can get (and focus on the story), or bring people on with more experience. Filmmaking is collaborative!
This is just my 2 cents, I’m not one of the masters on here
