So many of us are absolutely obsessed with talking about VL and PB on this forum.   Its as though people forget how may other filmmakers are out there actually making amazing films, all accessible within a few mouse clicks or fingertip touches.    The world is bigger than you think. 

I'd never actually watched Reverie & having just done so, it looks like a slick 80s cosmetic product ad - nothing wrong with that & kinda makes sense when you consider LF is a photographer. And after all its all about personal taste, which is different for each of us. The whole PB vs LF debate is just funny cause i'd never heard of them before researching DSLRs & quite frankly i'm still not impressed. The dark horse that no one mentions is the one person i had heard of, Shane Hurlbut, & it was his info, posts & advice that showed me the way (still the most interesting/informative blog out there, by a proper jobbing DP). So, what really convinced me to get a DSLR was this little offering & it really shows off what you can really do with this type of camera when you take a little time, effort & know how: http://vimeo.com/10570139     Also, anyone considering a BM product should take a look at this article, as it really does represent what these cameras are all about & how to test them/think about them with just a little bit of objectivity:   http://www.hurlbutvisuals.com/blog/2013/08/blackmagic-cinema-camera-tests/     Personally, i'm getting a pocket & think it will be a great little cheap camera & way better than any DSLR in its price range.

I don't care about what Vincent Laforet is doing or has done. Nor do I find an issue with the absolutely rubbish footage released for the Pocket Camera. I only care about what I CAN do with a camera. Seeing what these cameras can achieve is cool, but its much cooler having the thing in our hands and looking at ways to be creative with it.
