Hi
I'm sorry if this sounds familiar. I've just stumbled on your site this evening after typing in 'Hotel Babylon shooting format' into google. A brief background, I'm a commercials director shooting out of London. I've just got a job in with a budget that won't allow me to shoot on film as usual. Having said that I just shot a viral on digi beta with the pro 35 lens adaptor, it looks okay, but I'm sure could have looked better. So my production company have asked me what tape formatt I want to use this time. I'm an HD virgin so would appreciate any help and advise, as you can guess I thought Hotel babylon looked quite nice.
Thanks in advance Stephen:)
Hotel Babylon was shot on Sony HDW750 HDCAM using Zeiss digiprime lenses. Cameras were set up to the BBC settings for 35mm negative and a comprehensive grade was used. I was the consultant called in to set the project up as far as the "look" is concerned. the same settings were used for Hyperdrive, Waste of Shame, Bleak House, Last of the Summer Wine (not shown yet) and dozens more. Send me a Personal Message with your email address if you want to talk more about this, I do this as a consultant now that I've retired from BBC R&D (i.e. give me enough money and I can sort you out :)).
