To do gonzo with this camera would require a rig with a dedicated big focus adjustment and you would spend every millisecond constantly refocusing (which would of course by it's definition mean that there would be split seconds of UN-focus happening).
Naw...it's not really made for that at all. But as long as you stay the same distance back once you focus in..it won't be a problem.
And I have to tell you...as I said earlier, I did it it full auto. Just aimed it, hit the auto focus button, it focused in. And I shot. So I could definitely imagine that you could move about a bit and use the auto focus each time you moved without "stopping and starting" and just edit out the unfocused footage during the seconds that you were actually moving with the camera.
But cinema movies don't do that anyway. Their cams are all on cranes and move VERY slowly with their shots (99% of movie shots...the camera never moves, they just use multiple cameras and lots of editing work of course).
So to really achieve that cinema look...I think you wouldn't want to be moving and focusing. And since I'm a one-man show...I'll just move from place to place with it and reset.
It should work great like that.
Of course, I'm only gonna shoot movies with this VERY rarely. I'll stick to my vid cam and the style that brought me to the dance for 99.9%.
But when I do use it...it's just amazing what I saw it do on full auto with no lighting. And I'll prove it this coming week.
I'm going to shoot with it on full auto with NO pro lighting. I think you guys are gonna really be shocked and impressed with what this thing does.
If I were a freelance shooter and wanted to shoot for X Art, Met Art, ~insert name here~ Art...I'd buy one of these immediately. Then I'd move to Russia. I'd film those incredibly beautiful skinny teen girls there for a few rubles, use no lighting, no other cam. Just me, a tripod, and Russian teen whores.
Then I'd tell the company that hired me how difficult it is to shoot this stuff and laugh all the way to the bank.
