They're using a Red Dragon 6K for some of the shots. Here's the finished product:

For starters, two songs I use frequently as wake up ones.

AVCHD is really not a that great codec is what I read. I tried a few Full HD camera's and sometimes it dissapoints on a few areas, especially low light. Not sure if there is a perfect camera? Anybody knows about some hidden gems in video camcorder land? I really want a Full HD camcorder that has also that much reflections as my old cam corder and just has that nice colors and overall great performance.

What people think about the sony rx100 m3 I also like the image reflections in it but it does not focus that good is what I read. But really small and has a new codec? How well that AVC S codec or something like that works??? I can't even edit HD on my old pc.

first size and cost and weight. No one can beat size performance. shape 4:3 perfect for multiaspect.

the shutter 40 for 24p. it was all about cadence and motion blur. To properly emulate certain texture and movement. those topics are already understood and well documented.

But the theory i have is more from the optical/sensor perspective. I said in a previous thread that m4/3 sensors are special for the human eye. You see, the usable human retina is about 21mm diagonal in diameter in a standard adult, The size of the retina is very similar to the m4/3 format sensor which is 22mm diagonal.

For me this is very important, since the lens you use will behave very similar to your eye, if there was a lenses in front of it. there is something about from f2.8 to f3.5 that you can position your self when you use the EVF and connect only one eye to camera and immerse in video mode on your head. The characteristics of this size sensor and the way it behaves on camera is quiet similar on how you see on day to day.

Yes Yes, each focal length at different apertures on different sensors can achieve similar effect. But no the one m4/3 does.

is like the old battle from full frame to smaller sensor, there is some big bokeh to achieve on 5DMKIII or D800 that m4/3 would have to make a trick to achieve but the other way is also doable, but on each part the result always are not only different (they can look similar) but the characteristics are different. The behaviour is the key.

So for me is a special sensor size, maybe i cant explain it very well, but for narrative purpose this format works for me better than super 35mm sensor.

maybe im crazy, but super 16, super 35 look grate full frame excellent, but m4/3 its more real. human retina sensor size and optic characteristics brings an special look and feel not possible withe smaller or bigger sensors.

for me sweet spot.

I'm sure many are aware of this, but thought many may not be, so here it is. Well anyway, guess my GH2 can be considered luxury now.

Looks like it'll be big and deep shit.

I have updated already and experience a problem where all my AF101 AVCHD files rewrapped in Clipwrap and optimised for FCPX playback as a black screen with audio in the viewer,

Its a known issue that seems to be affecting all Panasonic AVCHD camera files - users are reporting it with AC160/130 HMC150 and AF100 - I'm guessing it will affect GH2/3/4 etc also

really big problem, hopefully to be fixed soon

Is there a hack tool available or being developed? Thanks,

The U.S. Department of Defense is developing video-monitoring technology called Mind's Eye to predict crime before it happens, not unlike the 2002 movie "Minority Report," starring Tom Cruise.

Shortly, I'm about to embark on a two up motorcycle journey from Jo'Burg to Swaziland and back. There are two panniers, each 31 litres for all our stuff. I hope to make two off, eight minute episodes about the trip and the places we visit.

I've allowed 10 litres of space, and here's a photo of all the kit, which actually is a bit off because I've realised the chargers are not shown.

Whats here is:

• 5D3 with recent Magic Lantern, 2 Off 64GB 1000x cards, 1 Off 32GB 1000x card, 1 Off 128GB 1066x card
• 24-70 f2.8 lens
• GoPro 4 Black with 4 off 32GB Class 10 cards
• H4N with 32GB Class 10 card
• HHG-01 Gimbal
• AS312 light
• Rode Lavalier Microphone
• Gorilla Pod
• Fishing pole, shorted to 2.7 metres modified with 1/4 inch thread to take a clamp for the gimbal for high shots
• Billingham 255 bag (just out of view)

I'm feeling that I'm going to be wishing I had the 70-200 Lens. I've made tests using the Gorilla pod as a shoulder rest, more practice needed.

I've been out a couple of times with just that lot in the bag, seems like I'll need to get creative!

The report comes from sonyalpharumors, which tells us that at least two “good sources” have informed them of this camera. The camera is said to be similar in design to the current Sony A99, so it may be a top-of-the-line mirrorless camera featuring a DSLR-style body.

Sources are saying that Sony has been showing the camera to certain potential clients, and that the prototype camera may become official and arrive in time for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The company is reportedly telling people to “consider moving to Sony today because in 18-24 months you’ll be wishing your team were already comfortable with it.”

ANALOG / DIGITAL: The Emotional Impact of Film Recording Processes on the Audience

From the Institute for the Performing Arts and Film IPF in Zürich. (The publication is not really brand new - but I didn't see it here or elsewhere before.)

I see the gold on top, white stripes, and a screwed up white balance as if it was shot at 3000K or something. Polls on big sites like Gawker swear by the black and blue. What the hell?
