The Migration from ENG to Cine Style Production


  It wasn’t long ago that when you thought about production you were left with two choices…  Video or Film?

Four years ago at NAB, I came face to face with the RED camera.  Since that time, I, along with much of the production world, has been on a path where the worlds of video and film are colliding.  This year saw those worlds come closer than ever.  The HDSLR movement really caught momentum as third-party vendors brought more and more gear to the market striving to bridge the gap between amazing images and an impractical form factor.  At Ohio HD Video, we brought together gear from Zacuto, Red Rock, Cinevate, Chrosziel, Black Magic, Small HD, Zeiss, Arri, MYT Works, O’Connor, Sound Devices, and View Factor to find the best solutions to the HDSLR challenges.

On New Year’s Eve 2010, we took our last delivery of new equipment.  We unpacked two new Panasonic AF-100s, which I believe will usher in the next industry trend, the hybrid HDSLR/Video Camera.  A HDSLR Sensor inside a traditional video camera body with XLR inputs and time code that uses cine style prime lenses like our set of new Carl Zeiss Compact Primes.

As 2011 unfolds, Ohio HD Video remains committed to being your production resource.
