Cinematicz used the NEX-7 to shoot that commercial! What’s really interesting is to read his story about how it was to work with the NEX-7: http://vimeo.com/40049385. !
P.S.: Whenever Amazon has the NEX-7 in Stock it gets sold out after a few hours. So if you need a NEX-7 grab it now:
NEX-7 body only (Click here).
NEX-7 with 18-55mm kit lens (Click here).
More NEX-7 in Stock status links: [shopcountry 8454].

Thank you Admin for posting this up here….
As it is seen as my responsibility to stay fair, I updated the vimeo discription with the following words:
From the Vimeo-Description:
I used the Sony Nex-7, to see if I can hit the nail on it´s head with this little camera – and oviously….no comment!
(AND HERE COMES THE UPDATE)
My rethorical answer to the question, if the NEX-7 could hit the “nail on the head” was….”no comment” –
now: That sounds a bit too harsh. The reality is, that you have to know the cameras limitations, which are for example the video-processing or the captured colorspace(I don´t know how to call it).
My tip for a NEX-Shooter would be: Don´t go too flat with the picture-profile and try to get the saturation and color as close to the aimed final look, as possible. Recovering the color has about 50% of the FS-100´s capacities –
so please beware in that respect.
Thank you for the support!
Super Arbeit hast du da geleistet! 😉
Vielen Dank!!!
So was hätte ich ehrlich nie von einer Nex-7 erwartet. Hut ab!
Very nice, however a little lacking in terms of the CGI. A couple scenes in The Hunger Games were shot on the NEX-7, those were truly impressive.
I worked on Hunger Games please enlighten me as to what scenes where shot with an NEX 7
Oh wow. I didn’t know professionals will visit a Sony Camera website. 😀
f65 is bad ass and I like nex for having on set since it good and small. Hunger Games was shot on Film FYI
He is incorrectly using the term t stop vs f stop since I doubt he measured the actual transmission VS the F stop of the lens. Looks pretty good for student work shot on a nex 7.
Thanks Randy.
P.S. What do you mean by “He is incorrectly using the term t stop vs f stop since I doubt he measured the actual transmission VS the F stop of the lens.”
THX
f stop is a mathematic equation regardless of efficiency of lens internals T stop is the ACTUAL measurement of transmission of light. so its like the fstop minus some % of loss. Not as big a deal with internal metered cameras but cinema cameras don’t have meters and the number on a calibrated light meter and a t stop are very important. it is possible that t and f are the same but usually differ at list a bit. When shooting film we would still test all our lenses and film stocks vs metering to make sure we are EXACT.
The video is so well produced, well written, well conceived, well executed, directed, seen, captured, edited… that any mention of camera tech talk serves only to degrade the final artwork. I’ve watched the film on my phone, computer, and tv. The message communicates wonderfully on all mediums. No room to worry about what cam was used for this. The art outlives the machine.
Truely nice implementation of VideoCoPilot’s stuff 🙂 Andrew will be pleased…
Hi Clyde,
this was the – COMMENT OF THE CENTURY !!! 63 words of pure motivation!!!
Thank you very much for your kind words – if it wouldn´t be a problem for my wife, I would print out your comment and hang it on my wall 😉
Thank you very much!
With best regards from Germany!
I worked on the hunger games and shot some scenes with the nex 7. Truly amazing camera.
Seems everybody worked on “The Hunger Games” and shot it with a NEX-7. That’s cool. I’m happy to say that I worked on “2001: A space odyssey” and also shot it with a NEX-7 (a preprod no less).
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2325729/ I think thats proof enough.
yeah I worked on Hunger Games too 🙂 but with a NEX-9
Im sorry, this is tooooo funny
just kidding
Cheers,
