I have written a short script for a zombie film. I will begin shooting this summer (Aug) 2005. Now I have never used a pro-grade camera before, and I was gonna pick up a new GL2 but the prices were outrageous.
I picked up a low use GL1 from an older guy in WI. He seemed to not know what the camera could do and used it once then packed it away for 5 years. When it arrived ... all the accessories were still in the original wrap and sealed from the factory. So I know I got a good deal.
I picked up 5 lenses
.45X Wide Angle
.50X Wide Angle
.70X Wide Angel (Canon WD-58)
2x Telephoto
3x Telephoto
I figured those should be enough to get me the shots I need. I may grab a .65x Wideangle just so i have some different wide shot depths.
No my questions is....
How the hell do I achieve that film look with this camera. I have done some test shots and captured the video to my home PC, no matter what I do it has that crappy surreal Camcorder look. I have set the camera to frame mode... but I mean how do I dull down the color a bit on this thing. The manual doesn't tell you nothing, and I must have visited over 50 different sites and no one can answer the question with getting into 50 billion technical comments.
Anyway... any help would be appreciated.
