    Let's understand why in 2019 TV cameras are still so massive and expensive ! I rented a complete TV setup to have a week-end of experimentation messing around with the beast. Part of the equipment was not available at the rental house so Blackmagic nicely agreed to lend me the camera, fiber module, monitor and a camera control panel for a few days.
    Special thanks to Claire (Broadcast Camera Op), Marin (Camera Assistant), Matthieu (Paraglider) and Mathieu (Actor) for helping me out with strong commitment throughout this project.

    In auto racing they can film cars going 150mph, slow down the video, and it's so clear you can read the words on the tire. I remember seeing that one time and thinking that's why the cameras cost so much. That's just incredible.

    • @themisir
      @themisir 2 месяца назад

      Technically that’s possible with other cameras as well. You will need to use faster shutter speed to get sharp photos of fast moving objects and big aperture with good sensor to account for the lost light.

      As a cinematographer, its impressive when it come down to convenience to manning the rig alone. Where I need to orchestrate a few people to achieve the same thing with a focus puller or someone racking the f-stops on my old arriflex set up. The thing i wonder is why the camera is still using 2/3? Is there disadvantage moving the camera to larger sensor and lens manufacturers?
      edit: also call me old fashion, but i never trust a servo lens or a lcd screen, I still bust out my light meter and measuring tape when I plan out accuracy which of course can't be done efficiently in broadcast

    I actually shot a couple of college games for ESPN, and here's a fun fact: We didn't control the apertures on our cameras. There was a person in the control room (if we needed them to do something, their call sign over the radio was ISO) who managed the exposure and color balance of the camera. They'd deal with (as their name implied) the gain of the camera, the aperture, color balance, ND, you name it. That way the operators only had to worry about composition (and very occasionally focus).
    Also: lifting one of those $250K box lenses onto a scissor lift was VERY nerve wracking.

      This is very common in a broadcast setup. This, as you indicated, allows the operator to focus on getting the shot. But more importantly, it allows one person in a controlled environment to ensure all the cameras have a consistent look. They have a calibrated monitor for each camera, a vectorscope to check color, and a waveform monitor to check the brightness.

      @MmntechCa 2 года назад +21

      The costs have come down quite a bit though that you can now get cheaper gear that will often outperform the big, bulky ENG cameras from just a few short years ago. Like you're paying tens of thousands for an XDCAM, which still only has a 2/3'' or even a 1/2'' sensor, where as Sony's own FS7 has a full frame sensor that produces some really nice cinema quality video, and costs nearly half as much. But it largely depends on what you're doing with it. I'd still use a proper EFP setup for sports. I don't think those cheaper cameras work with CCUs. Plus the big boys support those monster lenses. But for news and documentaries, those bulky ENG cameras should be relegated to the scrap heap. Camera operators have given enough money to the chiropractic industry. lol

    • @joylox

      @MLWATKK Yes, I have a Canon, and my whole setup, probably would cost around $8K, for camera, both lenses I have, tripod, mic with wind-reduction cover, LED light, extra battery, carry case, etc. Thankfully I got some of that on trade in, and I won a giveaway at a store for some gear, but that would still assume being able to change lenses. And for affordable video, the Sony camcorders are about $1000, but they don't have good depth of field, the lighting often needs to be edited, and they're super sensitive to motion meaning you need a really fancy tripod. I used one on hard wood floor, and a kid ran by it and shook it. My dad was able to wire up a way to be able to control zoom on his Sony camcorder from a greater distance, but most aren't compatible with that, so you also need whatever staging to put the operator into the right position to do everything. It's a lot of post-production work, to get anything under $20K to look anywhere as good as live TV.

And most studios only invest big numbers every 20 years or so. Like my ex employer has upgraded the equipment the last time when broadcast stations switched from SD to HD.

How much does it cost to get a good camera person to operate that and a production manager to manage multiple cameras as well as the assorted technicians that support them? The equipment is part of the whole package. As you saw unless you're doing this every day you rent the equipment and hire the people on a project basis with upfront money for the initial setup and then count on making a profit on the back end. You only buy it when you are big enough to need it for every event you film and produce on a daily or weekly basis or if you're making a dozen films in a studio a month. Its all about scale!

      It might be online but process of learning it is still point of going to college.
      I have a degree in mathematics and in a pub when someone wants to sound intellectual by quoting some element of maths of physics they usually get it wrong and I mean simple things like understanding words like "linear" or using the word "exponential" when something increases rapidly.
      All the knowledge is online and stays there and doesn't enter people's heads unless they go through the difficult process of learning it.

      "they usually get it wrong and I mean simple things... like 'exponential' when something increases rapidly."
      There's a mathematical definition of exponential and there's a layman's definition of exponential, just like the term 'theory' as it relates to science and as it relates colloquially. You are literally wrong about other people being wrong in the pub.

      Well, that’s only if your broadcast is live. If you have the chance to take the footage to post, then you don’t need such a specialized gear. You know, if you are no live you can cut camera, move it closer, avoid in camera zooms, etc. Hence you won’t need that fluid head, that tripod and that lens. Not even that monitor.

      It's deffinitly one of those cases where you just can't shrink everything, it's the same as people wondering why DSLRs still exist, phone cameras are actually pretty terrible in some situations such as long focal lengths, manual controls, long exposure, and so on. I got a Canon Rebel T6 mostly for astrophotography and learned first hand just how much more it can do. Having done that now, the capabilities of those broadcast cameras make a lot of sense.

      I'm pretty sure my local network station just shoots its broadcasts with cell phones and does its audio production through Air-pods with a couple of potentiometers. This is to match both the quality of the content and the quality of the broadcast over the air. If anything more is needed, they just depend on the national network or an independent contractor who has a Wowgo.

      No...because telescopes don’t do near focus...8mm is a crazy wide angle. These lenses don’t have the barrel or pincushion distortion that zoom lenses often suffer from either...or the focus breathing. And the lens has built in neutral density filters...lol so not at all like a telescope! All of this makes for an extremely expensive lens.

    It never occurred to me why the cameras were so big, just took it at face value that they were big just because. Really interesting video, never knew so may components made a broadcasting camera. I can't believe they can zoom so far in whilst maintaining focus, clarity and stability. I learnt something today!
