"I've come to realize the public at large does not have my educational attainment" The internet never fails to entertain me for all the wrong reasons.

You don't show it.

Can someone point me to data/studies about how much impact humans have on climate change vs natural changes that are occurring naturally? I'd love to see some statistics.

If you want to fix dead/hot pixels in your footage, you can do so in most NLEs. First, make a duplicate track of your footage. Then, make a mask that is transparent, except for the dead/hot pixels. Attach that mask to the top video track, so that the hot/dead pixels are the only part top track that covers identical track below. Then, Gaussian blur the footage in the top track (but not the attached mask), so that the values/color from the adjacent pixels seep into the masked hot/dead pixels.

Raw (ML Raw or anything else) in general is overkill for a doco in 97% of situations! Say what?! You lumped Left and Libertarianism into the same thing??

Freeman Dyson is a giant in the world of math and physics. As for myself, I'm not Freeman Dyson, but I know a little about it from my science degree in mathematics (with almost a 2nd major in physics, plus I taught mathematical modeling to undergraduates at university for many years). Thus I know more than enough to be highly skeptical about mathematical models being pushed for a political purpose! I suppose many of heard of the famous saying: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics!"" Well mathematical models can be misused and abused even worse than statistics can be! However, I loved mathematical modeling, and it is an extremely important area of study, that has many very useful applications. Just don't be ever taking them immediately at face value! Especially not in highly politically charged situations.

the wild places i grew up exploring have burnt. Some of the loveliest places in american wine country are burning and people are dying. Puerto Rico has been destroyed. New Orleans is half the size it was. Climate change is entirely real. People in my country are living it and dying it. There is no debate about it. I don't need a lecture from some ancient austrian economist in a dumb suit to know that the glacier i can see from my house is shrinking. i don't need a fucking documentary liberal or conservative to tell me what i can feel when i step outside, what 99% of scientists agree upon. this doc can go twist for all i care. and so can all these "debaters" enjoy your doom, you made it.

All these examples have been great and inspired me to get a compact 40 for my newly acquired GH5. I also noticed another film on YouTube using the Samyang 21 & 50 cine lenses. I really like the feel of these lenses anyway but combined with the anamorphot they look like another great combo. What are the settings in the GH5 for the Anamorphot? Please be patient with me as I'm extremely new to this format (although I have used Moondogs on my iPhone and iPad). I realise the Anamorphic setting needs to be off but what are the key changes to set up to film with? I will be doing a lot of interviews for a future documentary on English education and so light won't be a problem.

Thanks guys! So if it doesn't say "MC," it might be single coated or it might be multicoated. That ebay listing looks nice, and definitely looks single coated. The price seems a little crazy though, compared to other lenses I have seen being sold.

I've been offered a pretty decent deal on a d500 and this thread is making pushing me to pull the trigger

The science is far from settled, for example on the topic of renewables and the management of food, land and the agricultural economy. Further research is needed there to gauge the impact losing all that land to wind farms will have on food supply. Furthermore, it's interesting to hear what Freeman Dyson says in the film about the computer models - that they are a good tool for understanding the climate but a bad tool for predicting it. I'm no climate change denier but the discussion is getting way too dogmatic on both sides of the fence.

I signed the petition about a year ago. I am happy to hear they got a response from Samsung. My question is would you guys be willing to trust Samsung again after leaving us hanging like this? and if not what kind of commitment would be needed from Samsung for you to trust them. For me, I would need to see a 2-3 year lens release roadmap schedule similar to what Sony did. It's not that I need a lot of lenses I just need to know they are committed to developing the line and that an NX3 would follow after the NX2. Actually, who am I kidding I like my NX1 so much I would probably buy an NX2 no matter what lol. I can only imagine if they made the NX2 today it would probably have some ridiculous specs like 4k 120p and 1080 @ 480

Oh come on. If you're really doing medium to high budget video projects, you are most certainly not rocking up on set with a mirrorless camera. Nor is it so easy to justify a switch between the two. The GH5 footage has the potential to be cleaner, sharper, punchier - for sure. But the difference between the two cameras is not night and day, and I'm sure a lot of clients won't be able to spot the difference. This doesn't even take into account glass, or lighting or crew size which have a much larger effect. Really, you're just perpetuating this camera myth where people like to think a new camera with flashier specs will elevate their projects, and in turn make them feel like they're a better filmmaker by owning the latest piece of gear.
