Well since that quarantine got us all... I struggle a lot with inactivity, so i had to make a short film... Almost alone, by my self. The point of this is just to entertain and motivate others to make, create even on this times. PD: I had a Panasonic S1 that was let to me for testing. I used this for the film.

1. Sigma fp + Lomo OKC 4-28-1 (28mm T2, Super 35mm/APS-C). 2. Working as a teacher at a design school + photographer + video maker. 3. Since this site is based in the UK, I'll list my favorite British music: Daphne Oram, Brian Eno, The Pop Group, favorite sport: boxing, with huge nods to Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. Otherwise, privileged that my job is my hobby and vice versa. 4. Hopes for EOSHD: I most appreciate DIY/self-help/community mutual help coverage and discussions. The current thread on the Sigma fp (and how to work around its quirks) is a brilliant example, as is the thread on shooting RAW video on the EOS-M. My hope for the future of EOSHD is to further explore this direction. IMHO, progress in camera technology is slowing down, and we are almost "there". (For example, a mirrorless camera with an s35 sensor, clean 6400 ISO, good IBIS, good video autofocus, good color science, good manual controls, internal 10bit log + RAW recording would basically be "it"; which means that a camera like the Fuji X-T4 is 95% "there".) At some point, it might become more exciting to max out existing, cheaply available technology, than wait for the next great camera to come out. The EOS-M with MagicLantern Raw is a brilliant example. 5. There's better food, better climate, better street manners and now even better public services (transport, health...) in other parts of the world than in the Northern European country where I live; and as the Corona crisis shows, maybe generally smarter societies. (I'm particularly thinking of high-tech Asian countries such as Taiwan and South Korea.) But what I do miss elsewhere is my local arts community, aside from living in a stable part of the world with lower political threats/risks than elsewhere. 6. Must have been in 2013 when MagicLantern's RAW video recording on the Canon EOS 50D was reported here.

NoFilmSchool had descended into trash in recent years, nothing like the early years when it was one of my favorites. PremiumBeat Blog is "ok". Newwshooter and Redshark News are two of my news sites I check out the most! (and here, of course, and some sound & economics sites too) But for learning lighting, I reckon YouTube has some of the best content (just a couple of videos from each, dig deeper with each channel, so much more content there!): Luke Seerveld CookeOpticsTV Cinematography Database Fan Indy Mogul Gaffer & Gear Tom Antos Aputure CineSummit KINETEK Hurlbut Academy Andyax Grip Tips Hillbillygriptruck (a fellow Kiwi!)

Little short I shot on the XT3. Was bored and also suffering heart break so I came up with this. Was just filming myself and edited it that same day. Nice to get some creativity out in this odd time.

So with a used Alexa Classic now going for $5k USD and the Mini LF out, I’m wondering how many years it will take before the mini gets down in the sub $10k range. Right now I see the mini still in the $30-40k USD range on the used market (i.e. eBay). Five more years? Maybe by then someone will finally catch up to the nearly 10 year old ALEV III sensor 😂

Timelapse: Canon 6D for the timelapse Aerial: Mavic Air and helicopter with GH5 and 12-35mm f/2.8 MkI Video: GH5, 12-35mm f/2.8 MkI, 45-150mm f/4-5.6, Crane gimbal, Osmo Pocket 4k Very cool place, must be careful with security...

I saw a used Amira at 10k the other day, they usually go for 20k, probably because of this pandemic though. The classic is 10 years old now, the mini is 5 years old. So if it devalues at the same rate as the Alexa classic you are looking at 5 more years. Hard to say if it will devalue quicker.

No idea if Autel's HDR will beat it... But also for its intrinsic tracking capabilities:

And here's previously resized to 4K @post: And captured @ 4K 60fps: 6K -> 4K output:

Faster yes... lots of people make similar comments about films in this vein too!

Reckon there are toddles who could bash out a similar painting faster

Oh, I don't know... I think it depends on the operator: https://lithub.com/the-painting-that-took-22-years-to-finish/

Unless you include a Foveon camera on a slightly overcast day.

I love that the BTS is a painting. Oil on canvas has the longest exposure time of any visual medium available I think..

Thanks, I honestly don't know zach goodwin work but cheers for the puppets!!!

Well, Sammy the Sock turned into a serious drama.

Shane Hurlbut ASC is giving away his illumination experience for free right now, his stuff is like gold in the area of lighting, should answer a lot of your questions: https://www.hurlbutacademy.com/illumination-experience-workshop/?mc_cid=cc66b59990&mc_eid=d730f5a46a

Hi all, 1. BMPCC 4K and Oly 12-100, but I also frequently use GH5 and A73. I had a hacked GH1 and footage from it still looks lovely even cameras have improved so much. 2. I am from Finland and now living in the Netherlands. A hobbiest and working with public healthcare. 3. I still enjoy listening songs that I heard when I was a teen (such as It never rains by Dire Straits) 4. I am looking forward to GH6 and A7SIII. Probably I don't need those, but I may want one. 5. I miss Finnish forests and sauna. I used to live in the UK and I miss hiking areas (National Trust) and Sunday roasts in good pubs. 6. I have been following EOSHD every now and then since the GH2.

1. Currently the GH5 and the 10-25 f1.7 (previously the Sigma 18-35 and SB). GH5S and 12-35 2.8 are gaining ground... 2. Scottish/European - grew up between Greece, Cyprus, London and Scotland. Lived in Spain for over 17 years. Work as freelancer video/photo. 1 wife, 1 daughter, 2 cats and presently dealing with the lockdown shit storm that's already hit businesses hard here. 3. Music: Present favourite group is All Them Witches Also like Jimi Hendrix, The Faces, The Black Crowes, Faith No More, Rage Against The Machine, Van Morrison, Funkadelic, James Brown, Bob Marley, Love, The Stooges, Terry Reid, Naxatras, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Mogwai, Spooky Tooth, Slint, Soundgarden to name a few. Sports: Celtic FC Hobbies: gardening in my terrace, camping, day dreaming... 4. In general the content is interesting (minus the rammies!). I hope it continues as a positive space where professionals and enthusiasts can share experiences, knowledge and opinions. Looking forward to the GH6 as I enjoy the video centric design of the GH series along with the reduced weight and costs (although the 10-25 1.7 was pretty pricey!). A slightly more ergonomic BMPCC 4K/6K would interest me. 5. My home town is now Madrid. I miss the openness when I'm away. 6. No idea

1). My current most powered up camera is the Pocket4K but I wouldn't class it as most used as its purely for the development of that project. Not that any camera is really being used at the moment due to the total lockdown we have here so I will go for the one that was the most used, which is the Sigma FP with the 7Artisans 35mm f2. Sadly even that was only briefly as I'd only had it about a week before being locked down and even that period it was only used whilst wearing a mask! 2). The first "real" camera I had of my own was a Nikon EM that I got new in 1979 (yes, I'm that old) which had to be replaced three months later after it was broken when I was by pulled from a crowded city centre street by a Special Branch anti-terrorist snatch squad, held face down in their car and driven at high speed to some sort of warehouse and interrogated on suspicion of taking surveillance pictures of targets for the IRA. I am a survivor of the Hillsborough disaster and at the official enquiry the Police presented doctored CCTV footage of me escaping from the crush to support a fictitious timeline of the events that would absolve them of any culpability. I have some trust issues with the UK Police. 3). Indie/new wave from 77 to 85 with an honourable mention to Kraftwerk who sit outside of that genre but influenced a lot of stuff inside it. Sport as a fan would be Liverpool FC but I've also been fortunate enough to shoot the two greatest players of the recent era (and statistically in any era) in Messi and Ronaldo and you can't help but be a fan of both when you witness it at such close quarters. From other sports, shooting Mark Cavendish at the Tour de France when he explodes out of the pack to win stages was something special and even his sometimes "challenging" demeanour when trying to shoot him post race if he'd lost made him more endearing to me because of the honesty of it. 4). Unfortunately, it seems pretty clear that we will be presented with a new normal after all this and it will likely be one with less money for a lot of people. It could be that in the new normal film making and photography etc will be seen as frivolous but it is as equally likely that creative pursuits will be vital to keep everyone's mind engaged, as an escape from the bleakness but also as a reflection on and documentary of this next period. So for that reason, the forum can and should be a great resource and support network for that. Inevitably, with the expected financial downturn, it should probably have more features about doing more with your current gear than getting more new gear. That should not only call for more articles about DIY projects and lighting/composition tutorials etc but also for retrospective reviews on older gear that is still perfectly serviceable and how to eek everything out of that. So as well as sub-$200 film challenges maybe look at "$2000 camera vs $2000 complete setup" type of comparisons as well. Some stuff about sound design as opposed to just recording sound would be cool as well. 5). Family, obviously. But also that triggering of memories when you walk down particular streets. Mainly, though, I miss having a decent chippy. 6). I think I started contributing at the end of 2016 or early 2017 but was a long time reader before that. I first came across @Andrew Reid at a two day film making conference in London about ten years ago that was mainly devoted to using EOS cameras, where, if memory serves, he was barracking Phil Bloom from the audience about the GH1 being better than the 5DMarkii. I thought he was rude, opinionated and extremely disrespectful. Naturally, after seeing that, I felt sure this was the place for me

Forgot to add my pic... XT3 with Meike battery grip. I would prefer not to use a grip but it does transform the handling and triples the battery power and when shooting 4K... Sirui freestanding monopod about 3 years old because I still can’t find anything better. 16-80mm f4 lens which is a bit slower than I’d ideally like (have some f2 primes if I need them) mainly for the range and OIS for handheld stuff. It’s also got a Gobe variable ND on it that is controlled with a marked up rotating Nikon lens hood I glued on. Good old Rode Micro for a better audio to sync to from up to 3x Sony pocket recorders and lav mics. Fluffy for outdoor use. For dancing stuff at weddings it’s just a case of whip off the mic and put an LED on the hotshoe.

1) A7s and Canon 17 f4 L TS-E (other most used lenses FD 24 1.4 L, Sony Zeiss 55 1.8 and Sigma 150 2.8 APO macro) See below. 2) Barely functional human. I have had a VERY "Homer Simpson" life ...EG do not drive but managed a Motor Registry (DMV office), EG, qualified as an aircraft maintenance engineer (instruments and electrical) as well as a powerhouse watch keeper but can barely change a light bulb . 3) Love most types of music and my main interest has been photographing live bands and artists and despite being very average have gotten the best seat in the house for some wonderful (mostly Australian but a few from overseas) bands and had some very good bands have used my pics (videos less often but did not really do any until a couple of years ago but have been shooting stills since 35mm film days). Have been the/A official photographer at many festivals including Jazz/Blues, rock, pop, metal and others. Sports nut when younger (again some Homer moments)...the worlds worst Rugby player (both types) but I played with and against people who played for Australia at times (including some who beat the All Blacks at Eden park....yes they could once or twice). Competitive weight lifter (silver medal state championships) in school but have friends who's DAUGTHERS are stronger than I EVER was. 4) Just glad EOSHD is a thing....Thanks Andrew! 5) Not planning on leaving much (and currently can not due to you know what). 6) Can not remember but a lot earlier than I joined.

Hello from the USA! Current camera Fuji X-T3, with my latest lens acquisition AF-n Nikkor 28-85mm f/3.5-4.5, And DIY lens support rails built with old chem lab hardware. I’m married with two boys in high school, retired. Favorite music: classical (Bach & Beethoven), and British ’70’s rock (Yes, ELP, Who, Tull, etc) Hobbies: playing an old grand piano, Hammond M3, Minimoog, Prophet, Rhodes 73, Peavey DPM-C8. Recording Multi-track (used to be Tascam 38, now Macintosh). Lionel train layout & miniature village, Old movie film production equipment & projectors in 16 & 35mm, Tinkering with various hardware & old equipment parts to do something new. EOSHD coverage: looking forward to new tips & tricks for mirrorless video, best vintage lenses, and comparisons of the new cameras. I found EOSHD early 2019 after getting the Fuji X-T3. My 1st DSLR was Fuji S1 Pro (great color! https://***URL removed***/reviews/fujis1pro, pictured with the same Nikon lens I used.) Next was the Canon T2i. But I did not use these for video and never looked at photography forums online. But Fuji X-T3 is a completely different animal!

1. Show us a picture of your current most used camera and lens EVA1 and Sigma 18-35mm. 2. Tell us a few facts about yourself! As a child, I was haunted by a ghost called Linford Pickle. 😂 I come from a family of artists and musicians. I was forced to go to church then realised it was all bollocks. My first ever video was called "Demon Boy". It was shite. I'm scared of baked beans and peas. I've starred in 2 televised music videos, once as the lead. I've got eczema and I hate it. I have 2 daughters. 3. What's your favourite music, favourite sport / team, other hobbies Manchester United - although I've got very disinterested in sport for the past few years. Music - As a teen was obsessed with Radiohead and Muse. Now I'll listen form anything from jazz to classical to synth-pop. Other hobbies - nothing. Filming and being a Dad takes up EVERYTHING. 4. What your hopes are for the future of EOSHD, what would you like me to cover - and the camera you are looking forward to most? Do more episodic video stuff. Do less on cameras and more on lighting! More interesting. Cover vintage lenses and weird shit that they do. Modified lenses. RED Komodo looks neat. Canon R5 and 6 I hope will live up to hype. 5. Tell me what you miss about your country and home town when you are not there Seeing people. Working with artists. My family. Having a pint and a laugh. Making shit. 6. The year you first started reading EOSHD I knew barely anything. Got a Canon 60d DSLR and started reading all this "complex" stuff people said like "10 bit 422". Read it over and over until I understood. Liked the way EOSHD focused on experimental stuff, cheap cameras and weird as fuck lenses. Think it was GH2 time.

I'm guessing the c500 will keep fullframe and the other models will maintain s35.

Not being defensive, even though seems to you and I bet for 66% others over here if so : D BTW majorities don't break my heart anyway, I confess I have a weakness for minorities... ; ) The point is we live in a selfish society. People go to YT but mind you they post their findings here? I just see many of people today coming everywhere and collect to their own benefit. It's sick. Wanna know my opinion? I write it anyway... LOL I didn't take as offense (hence my disclaimer up there), I address it merely as a point. People are too lazy to scroll the page down. Reason why many videos to worth your time as you say or bother your curiosity are always better to pretend you're not aware of their existence... LMAO People prefer to jump and comment on YT among strangers more often than I like to see. I still fuel these type of forum communities to flourish so I'd rather bring the discussions to here for some good reason. Take a look on my posting activity, my friend, I am even ashamed for the time spent so I don't see the need for words when I can avoid them. BTW "recommended" by AI, you mean? ; ) It is not the same as coming from my scrutiny, trust me, I rarely post anything randomly, well, I even take my time to choose them yet ; -) In a line: YT is a mess.

I have always found Emanuel's selection fairly thoughtful.

I figure out your point and obviously respect that but, the same way I won't comment if I subscribe or not the way you or anyone here introduces your content or the color you choose to wear and rule your choices or daily life, I believe we must be tolerant with the difference. To begin with. Words or declarations of will are not enough. People reveal their guts along their deeds, above all. Even because I think you're used to already see me to write dozens of lines over here, isn't it? Then, I guess the fact I second that venerable premise of a picture is worth a thousand words, it should be sufficient to also fit your turn trying to understand the other side. Comes to my mind when people don't make a single effort to learn the foreign idiom but are expecting we have to be fluent on theirs... LOL ; ) On the other hand, search button didn't orient me to any thread you or any other here had remembered to open on such interesting topic well expressed through a couple of words as thread's title coming from 1st video posted BTW... can you answer me why? My turn to add my two cents now : ) In my native land, we're used to resume the whole thing in a couple of words. To resume my point: sofa coach. I am eager to see your contribution to be straightforward with you as well. I am not paid as much as everyone of us guests here, but I'd sincerely appreciate to see more people to find and select content outside and address it to this community. Really. Rather than criticize who spends a few of his time, even short, to do it. Because if you don't care, you always have the option to ignore it. Don't feel too bored or constrained to do it please : -) Maybe my habit to invariably post not only one or two videos as 99% of people usually do when bother to contribute, to follow my customary deep research (I only found 13 videos this time, I'm sorry : P), may have produced your reaction? If so, I invite you to read again the 1st paragraph of this post and show a bit more recognition or even gratitude once you arrived in this page after all. Pardon my lack of modesty now, but when I perform anything I am used to leave it complete, despite the form chosen. You know what? I normally start to look for coming to these boards and only when I see none of you had the generosity to add anything substantial on subject or organized in a thread, I decide to share the product of my search. For the sake of promoting discussion in addition. As index applies besides. Disclaimer: I sincerely appreciate and don't mind at all about your words, Snowfun. I take them as useful add-on anyway. My response is more prone to be addressed to some other ones who may concur on that, though :- D

Very true : ) And here's another set of tips:

Photographing London is neat.

Indeed... https://www.flickr.com/photos/39362065@N05/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/skorver1/albums/72157629729447982/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/bomaye65/galleries/72157624929039693/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/cartierb/ There is even one group inspired by his work: https://www.flickr.com/groups/cartier-bresson/pool Cartier-Bresson's work inspired by surrealism and fine arts on the other hand : -) http://www.meetyourmood.com/2017/11/HENRI-Cartier-Bresson-icon-street-photography.html https://loeildelaphotographie.com/en/henri-cartier-bresson-china-1948-1949-i-1958-bb/

I reviewed the EVO I for fstoppers. Bottom line: good hardware, some nice features but the gimbal performance was horrible with constant and severe horizon drift (roll axis). I still see some drift on the video posted above. It also suffers from multiple glitches. The colors were a bit "flashy". It had some potential but they need to fix that. As for the EVO2, I'm curious about the quality if 8k on such a small sensor with a very limited bitrate (120mps). There is much sensor an h265 can do and the lens won't exactly be Sigma art... Looks like a useless gimmick to me. It's advertise as a digital zoom feature. Perhaps because they can't mount a proper optical zoom or don't have a good gimbal tech to stabilize it? I'll try to get my hand on the EVO2 for review. We really need more competition on this field. PS: the support chat is very good and responsive with Autel. Big difference compared to DJI...
