Very late to this discussion but all I can say is that the demo video must have been shot with the kit lens. A better (and faster) lens should have looked much better than that with the Nex 5N.

I’d like to know who your audience is that you’re trying to captivate. When I first watched it I thought it was just some test footage with some terrible soundtrack bolted on. I’d suggest that if you’re trying to keep viewers on the edge of their seat then you need a different approach, leaving the first shot on screen for over 40 seconds definitely doesn’t achieve this!

Is there any way to conform the 60p footage for use with final cut pro 5.1.4?
Been trying for three days now. Cinema tools says the 59.94 file has a bad framerate.
Any ideas how to handle this footage. Please help.

The Canon FD 35-105mm at f3.5 constant goes for $99 and looks amazing, has better range and opens wider,

I was hoping for a little more creativity in this piece, it simply does not exemplify the true power of the camera… Your little “intro” was full of exposure clipping, rolling shutter and numerous amateur mistakes . Much like your Demo Reel.

Also, all your posts are incredibly tacky… “future of indie filmmaking” in reference to a particular software is naive and silly.

Yawn, Jared Abrams…. yawn.

To a certain extent I have to agree. There’s some weird moire or something going on in the first shot which is very noticeable. Rolling shutter is pretty noticeable as well. Not terrible, but not too great either.

That actually looks quite terrible.

As you know Jared, I also love this camera.

Was going to buy the A77 ..but found out besides the auto focus features which i don’t like anyways (manual man) there wasn’t any difference in specs for video between the 5N and a77.

Here are some of my first test shots with the awesome, little, powerful sony nex5n:

I have a similar Zeiss zoom, the 28-85mm f3.3 – 4, it’s exceptional, about 800grams though so it’s heavy, but looks wonderful. Close focus is only 0.6m though and it’s a big filter diameter. What’s floating iris? Is it like floating element, or the same? One point lighting FTW too. Good post

Try the #Contax lenses. Quite a decent range from 16mm-180mm in primes and a zoom or two as well.
Thanks!
