My vote is with @webrunner5 but for me a product can reach a point to where it is so undependable that it is actually unusable. Pulsing is impossible to get rid of in post and it was also impossible to predict ahead of time when it would happen so to me that's the definition of both unusable and undependable. TBH IMO most AF is somewhat undependable, but the GH5's and S5's CAF were at the point to where for me they were so undependable that they did fall into the unusable category. My C70 on the other hand its AF is also somewhat undependable (just like every other CAF system that I've tried), but it is predictable enough for me to still consider it usable.

My friend's new GH6 just arrived!

It's not unusable it's undependable, big difference.

if u wanna actually do this, you need a great script which ppl LOVE, something brilliant, and you need to determine a budget if u wanna produce it asap what's your projected budget? and you want to write a BOOK first? a NOVEL? sure, but this'll take a while and you may lose a lot of your [long] novel when you get to boil it down to a screenplay... I don't write anything without a budget. am I writing a $100 mil film or a $1 mil film? there's a big difference! and you're going to crowdfund the budget? tell me more

ticoraw can support non-bayer CFA sensors too (X-trans too?) unlike prores raw compression ratios offered @12bit are 6:1 and 12:1. Intopix has nothing to lose unlike RED, rather they will gain more if they expand their services to all other camera companies. My prediction is the days of ATOMOS and RED willl be over soon. Cinema cameras will be less enthusiastic and more hybrid versions will pop up from every camera company. RED trying auto-focus, and partnering with canon for RF mount seems like they understood they are losing their checkpoint (compressed raw codec). i feel there are 2 bottlenecks for a camera to be more cinema /video oriented - 1)Electronic nd filter- the patent of forza silicon which has expired recently. 2) Compressed raw codec- novel compression techniques like jpeg-xs tico raw are circumventing around RED's patents. seems like clear path for the future for hybrid photo- cinema cameras. If brands like Kinefinity, blackmagic, Zcam don't focus on auto-focus, an already shrinking camera market can hit them hard.

the reason for footage not to be seen is that it is in a section. I have been pointing that out several times for a good reason. Footage on the main board has been widly discussed and learned from, regarding many aesthetic, dramaturgy related, lens nerdy, lighting aspects and anything you can think about. Wild, lifely, fun discussions. So, put the footage in the main board in a way that it referrs to technical and aesthetical points of cinematography and cinema in general. Unfortunately we dont have much footage from ourselves there, nor projects, we can discuss. The footage section has always been dried out. The footage on the main board has always been discussed lifely and with lotta enjoyment. It´s not apparent. I seems apparent to you. If it was, I think I would have chosen a different approach. Something like, it is not easy to take criticism within colloborations when it is ones own passion project. Further I think, nothing would be doomed just by lack of criticism. It is necessary on getting the project forward on a general scale rather then shifting too much time towards online communication. I think Andrews project is challenging. It is all in his hands and the team. Directing and doing cinematography as one person has plus and costs. Doing proof of concept is always cool. Doing testing is great fun and helpful, lighting, lenses, movements, locations... Finding the right crew, the right size as many people means also higher costs and communicational workload... Also, making the project attractive for collaborators, and the communication around it, is an important part of the project. Enjoy and lemme know if I can contribute @Andrew Reid cheers, Marty

Lets not be too hasty. I think this idea probably warrants a ten page thread of attrition about what codec you are going to use before you put pen to paper.
