Hi!
The first time I write on the forum! – now I really need help…The idea is to film a miniature city from different angles with a moving camera – and then shoot greenscreen plates in full scale with actors – and composite them together into a final movie.
The plan is to use the Sony PMW-f3 camera on a Kessler ShuttlePod with a motor and probably the BasicControler (easier to replicate the move later on). The camera will only move sideways on the SP – just one axis.
However, the angle of the SP will be changed in some shots – so that a jib-like move achieved (the SP is upright). I will also in some cases put the camera under the SP to come really close to my miniature model.My problem and my question now is how do I scale up all my values from miniature shooting to green screen shooting.
What values should I raise and what should I leave to remain?
As the height of the camera, the length of the ShuttelPod, the lens, the focal length, the tilt, the speed and so on.The best would be if I could use a motorized head too on the SP- but then I will have two more axis to calculate.
Al my test has so far been mostly unsuccessful..
Grateful for quick reply, thanks!

I hope the shooting went well as this was posted a year ago. Shooting with the F3 handheld and on the Shuttlepod is great fun! Grading the S-Log footage is so nice. I’ve been used to DSLR footage in color grading for about two years now and having all these opportunities with log-Footage and 4:2:2 10-bit is simply amazing.
My only concerns were the lack of the S-Log option when shooting in 720p50, and the lack of a viewing LUT when recording onto the KiPro Mini. Everything is so dull and grey until you move the footage into color correction. I hope that my Gemini 444 will arrive soon as this recorder is going to have a monitoring LUT option. In addition to uncompressed 444 recording.
Hope that helps 🙂
