Outdoors, low f-stop, while maintaining 1/50th shutter

I was wondering if anyone figured out how to shoot outdoors in bright sunlight with a low f-stop (1.4~3.2) , 24p, and 1/50th shutter. The ISO cannot go lower so there's nothing to do there.

The only thing I can think of is stacking a bunch of ND filters on there but that sounds pretty costly...

You don't have to "stack a bunch" of filters...

Just get one that cuts the light the number of stops you want (or else get a variable ND filter)

If you don't want to stack ND filters, get a variable ND filter as FlyingPhotog said. The LCW ND Fader is a popular one. I personally have the Genus ND Fader and I think it's great.

Single, variable ND filter should do the trick for you.

• The newer LCWs are getting a decent show; but if you go that route make sure to get the MkII version.
  
• Never heard of Genus until ^^^he mentioned them.
  
• The Singh Ray is my personal choice, although you will pay for those. No color cast is added to your shots that need be corrected during processing. The cheaper options may/may not have a cast.
  

Get one really really good 77mm variable ND, and a set of step down rings so you can use it on your other smaller lenses. It seems expensive at first but once you have it you'll never need to use another ND filter for light control.

This is the one I would recommend as the "really really good" variable ND filter, it's a German company and they source the glass from Zeiss, so there is little to no Vignette and non color changes.

Additionally, you may want to look into getting a polarizing filter as well, it will cut anywhere from 1.5~2 stops of light and has the bonus effect of removing reflections from non-metallic objects and clearing up the sky.

It will let do things like being able to see fish swimming in a pond from above the water, for example, or removing the reflection on a window, assuming you're at a 45 degree angle to it.

It's one of the few in-camera effects you can't replicate in Photoshop, so anyone who is serious about video/photography should have one, and as per Kento's advice, get the best one you are willing to afford (Hoya, B+W, Rodenstock) and use step-down rings.

Good call Kolor, Polarizing Filter and Vario ND filter are two must-haves for video!

thanks guys, that was a lot of help!

Look like the Heliopan Variable ND is sold out in most places in the U.S., they also jacked up the price to $450 to match demand, sorry guys.. may want to grab one when you can because the price of this thing seems to be shooting through the roof in the U.S. or take a trip to Europe, I just picked another one up for 180 euros

Go wrangle your gaffer and tell him to stop slacking and turn down the sun!

Right, and smack him upside the head if you detect two suns

Clearly someone wasn't paying attention when they shot War Horse, or perhaps that was a poor attempt at humor too.
