Brazil: Sometimes it sinks
I read this as "Brazil: Sometimes it stinks" now that the pre-Olympics report came out on the quality of their water supply and its high level of poop.

GoPro Hero4 cameras official topic
I just have to say now, I hope that these other "inexpensive" but higher quality options, like from Blackmagic, replaces the GoPro as a choice for filmmakers where *ANYTHING* other than color correction is planned in post production. The…

Hah hah, yeah, you like that one, eh? I love how weird and a little creepy it is. I don't even mind the hipster angel. It's beautifully done as well. The only thing I'd have done differently was maybe try and work out a method so…

When in doubt, Impact. For everything else there's Futura.

14 Camera Moire Shootout
The scaling could influence this, true, but you can still filter moire without blurring details, since the moire is generally going to be in the color signal and your detail is in the luma signal. This is a good indicator of the baseline issue you …

I'm still looking for a wide that will work nicely with my Biotar and Biometar and there doesn't seem to be anything that vintage wider than the "Hollywood" 28mm that's not super soft.

And I'm hoping this is the case, because I'm looking forward to getting one and the BMPCC SB plus the standard MFT SB I have means every lens is like having three lenses on these little guys, which is pretty cool.

Windows 10 aka Windows Total Horror!
If you are up to the task of installing and managing a Linux system and then dealing with your now limited options for some kinds of software you can handle running and operating Windows, any version, in a way that makes you feel secure. http://bgr…

There could be issues with non-sensor related clearance. The model-specific BMPCC versions of the SpeedBooster don't work with all MFT cameras. They were tailor designed for how much space was available in that camera that may or may not be…

It's not just about the sensor, it's about physical space.

I'm looking at it instead of a Pocket. The Micro rigged up with a SmallHD on my Velbon SP-1 will make for a fairly light and flexible kit.

When you shoot and edit 4K video or 3D video how do you deliver it to your clients?
> MKV is much more potent and widely used Might want to let Samsung know that.

When you shoot and edit 4K video or 3D video how do you deliver it to your clients?
For compressed delivery I'd suggest using .MP4 since compatibility with MKV isn't guaranteed across devices. An MP4 on a flash drive can just be plugged into the USB port on most any smart TV, provided it can handle the encoding options (…

When you shoot and edit 4K video or 3D video how do you deliver it to your clients?
Video, regardless of resolution, isn't delivered to clients on BD, at least not in professional situations. Clients will ask for specific deliverable specs generally in one or more of the following: ProRes Quicktime, DNxHD, EXR frame sequence …

SoderbergFilms Lens Shootout Round I
Not surprisingly, to myself, I liked the look of the Zeiss, then Cooke as far as spherical goes. A-D-F-E in order of preference based on rendering and bokeh. The ugly bokeh killed it for me with the Prominar and Lomo.

Build help for 4k editing
If you're doing stuff for broadcast or Bluray this would likely be a good option. You have to spend a lot of money for a computer monitor that can really do rec709, ironically.

Build help for 4k editing
And whether a board could output 10bit over HDMI 2.0 or Display Port is kinda moot if you aren't driving a monitor with a true 10bit panel. There's a lot of them that claim to be 10bit that are really 8bit with interpolation (just like, I…

Needs at least 32Gb. The PS isn't overkill if they think they might want to SLI at a later date or if they switch to an OpenCL favoring build, which would mean going AMD. Currently their cards are more power hungry. I couldn't get by wi…

The King (Life of Pi) incident is sensationalism and not actual cruelty. It also begs the question of the AHA rep who was let go even has a basic understanding of tigers with respect to water. Likewise, the three horses that died during the shooti…

Choosing the GPU for my new rig
I'm deciding between an R9 295X2 or dual 290X for similar power, slightly more PITA but roughly $100 cheaper. I've got more software that will take advantage of OpenCL than CUDA.
