Quoteserious pro work"
I think I meant professional standards really. Just bad word choice. I don't think its a diverse enough cam for me. And yeah I know it gets used a lot by pros. But its used in a limited fashion for sure. Moding the lens is probably what a lot of people do.
I got my wife to sew together a bunch of bed sheets. And I am putting together a PVC piping rig to make a portable (very large green screen) to take on location. I need it to be very back packable. So I can take it to the wisconsin river, and to some very nice cliffs on the glasial trails.
I dont know if it will work or not, but I wanted to do this since first learning of Terragen. I want to composite real foregrounds of some pretty great places with some TG backgrounds. On the river for example, it is an all sandstone geology. So when the water is low (with a green screen) it may as well be a desert... We even have native cactus that grow here believe it or not. Well, I did not believe it until I saw it the first time.
Anyway, The go pro is most definitely portable. And the water tight rig is very cheap. My only concern is the lens. Fish eye is too wide. And I also worry about resolution. I do have a good DSLR, but my camera does not do video. I can't afford a camera upgrade yet. I guess I could just use two cameras like a normal person. My DSLR for any still composites I want to make, and the GP for video... I am not sure the GP will work for me or not. I need to be flexible.
So thats what Im playing with.
All advice is welcome!
