Film aperture would be the physical size of exposed area of the film OR in video camera terms the physical size of the used area of the ccd in the camera. That combined with focal length gives you the angle of view.

i could swear this was covered before, but i cant find any infos in the archives.

a project is coming up where we will do some serious et enheancements. i know the camera which will be used
on set and i will be there too. i would like to replicate the camera as close as possible beofre the shoot,
so i can work out a good animatic that will match the view angles and FoV of the real world.
the camera is a Sony DVW 970WSP,
http://bssc.sel.sony.com/BroadcastandBusiness/DisplayModel?m=0&p=2&sp=11&id=79174

the lenses will be a Fujinon 7.8x22 and a Fujinon 4,8x10

i dont really know for sure how to replicate the camera in xsi. i know all the properties of a xsi camera
and guess that the focal length is equal to the one that will be set on the lens, but whats with the film
aperture? has this anything to do with the CCD chip and its size? and if so, how the numbers relate to each
other?

thanks a lot folks

ciao
franky
