Hello! I'm a director on a studio film and I'm interested in the MKV (or similar solution) as a tool on the production. I will ultimately discuss with my DP - but I'd love to hear an operator's POV to better understand the tool and what can make the best shots. Thanks!
Overall I'm looking for great shot variety and speed.
I love the ability to go from low to high mode within a shot.
I love the rolling 360 dutch shots.
Are there alternate / better tools. Drawbacks?
Can you use a short zoom with it? Like Optimo 15-40mm?
What about weight? What's the ideal camera/lens weight? Is there a preferred combo among operators? I don't want to request something that kills my operator. :)
Space constraints? Height / width?
Anything else I should know?
