    @matt_gh2 Sorry, are you buying or selling? If selling, then I bid $12 for shits and giggles... :-)

  • matt_gh2matt_gh2

    @philiplipetz That's a good idea - we could start a secondary market for people looking to unload...er, I mean "sell" their Kickstarter slots. I'll start the bidding at...uh, what is that Kickstarter slot for a Bolex worth?...hmm....shit, why not, I'll go $10. Any takers?

    this is pure entertainment: "We are getting into a time when we need special equipment to do our work."

    :-) very funny!

  • PiotrJPiotrJ

    Can anyone make out (they're blurred) which AFEs are being used in the design? Can anyone make out the model number of the two Micron DDR chips?

  • tosvustosvus

    well, at least they are not sugarcoating it in their posts! :)

  • philiplipetzphiliplipetz

    Anyone want to sell their Kickstarter slot? I'll take it.

    but why take so long to do so?

    May be they just have nothing else to show.

    @peternap +1 :-))))

    This is my favorite soap opera

  • JimiJimi

    I thought of that..."what if they posted pics taken by another camera", but why take so long to do so?

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Worst thing is that people do not understand that they could make this stills images using same industrial camera they used before. In fact they could show them at any time even more than year ago.

    Someday I'll learn to read before posting. ;)

    (I'd delete my post if I could)

    @eatstoomuchjam

    Yes, if you look few post above you'll find this link :-) And later discussion of hippies post :-)

  • eatstoomuchjameatstoomuchjam

    Looks like they finally got some frames out of Digital Bolex.

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    When the camera work (year 2154) - 32 fps become the new standard. :-)

    OK, Sorry my bad. I forgot that this hippies are real visionaries.

  • MihuelMihuel

    @ Vitaliy 32 fps is the future of cinema. They did research that 24 fps is not enough for record a movement and 48 fps looks too televised. When the camera work (year 2154) - 32 fps become the new standard. :-)

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Yes, as usual it is amazing text.

    This was the first time we could hold the camera and see the display live.

    Hmm.

    While the top screen was working, we couldn’t yet record because the sensor clock and the frame buffer were running out of sync. This was because they were writing new firmware for 24fps instead of 32. They expected to have this completed the next day.

    Why they wrote firmware for 32fps in first hand?

  • CFreakCFreak

    It's a real horror film: http://www.digitalbolex.com/alive/

    -"On day two the clocks were in sync, but something on the hardware had been shorted out. " -"On the third and last day we were there, I walked into the office and Mike said, “It works”. At least to a level I could shoot a few test images. We were ecstatic. The 24fps recording was still not finished, but we could record."

    Directors and DPs should not moonlight as camera designers.

  • JimiJimi

    For anyone interested, they have images off the camera up on their site today.

  • WalkerWalker

    Somebody's browser cache, maybe fooled them into thinking the site was back up?

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    I suggest to check their Facebook and Twitter

    https://twitter.com/digitalbolex

    https://www.facebook.com/DigitalBolex

    Their posts looks very strange, like statements that their server is working now.

  • endotoxicendotoxic

    mmmm...naah

  • WalkerWalker

    Or maybe Digitalbolex could just pay their webmaster...

  • endotoxicendotoxic

    and the scam is officially on. Out site, out money, out believers.
