Sometimes the conventional wisdom only takes you so far. We’re reminded of this every time we hear someone say, “Gear doesn’t matter.” Gear backed by experience makes all the difference. Here’s what’s in kit at 24Frames — and why.

​

2 X CANON EOS C200B

The Canon EOS C200B is a professional video camera that shoots in 4K resolution. It supports RAW Light, H.264, and JPEG formats, and sports dual SD card slots. With a maximum 60 fps frame rate, we can shoot silky slow-motion video, and our Canon L Series lenses are the perfect optical complement to the APS-C format CMOS sensor.

​

SONY A7R II / SONY A7S

The Sony A7R II and Sony A7S look like traditional SLRs, but these mirrorless cameras pack quite a punch. Their full-frame sensors offer great dynamic range and high-ISO performance, and they also support a wide range of video formats and resolutions. With support for near field communication and Dolby Digital AC-3 Surround Sound recording, their capabilities are bigger than their diminutive size would suggest. 

 

Why so much gear? We believe in backups, so that a body or lens malfunction won’t bring your production to a grinding halt. We’ve also learned from experience. Using the right tools for the job, in tandem with careful planning, shot setups, and storyboarding, means much less time spent on post-production. Taking a little extra time to get it right saves us time — and controls your costs — much better than trying to “fix it in post” later.
