Left my thanks-like above but had no time yet to address a comment I think fully justifies also because he is one of the most valuable contributors in this community and I think it's worthy of it too, so here is now : ) When I've watched this project of Carl Dreyer (here's some meeting with film students to only those who understand Danish though), some former film critic and older fellow from same alma mater/filmschool, programmer from a mainstream network/state TV and responsible for a TV program dedicated to short film on-air for decades (I proudly designed) told me he didn't like it because the Danish filmmaker had repeated shots on this short film paid by the local road safety authorities where seems Dreyer simply made the apology of speed instead for many of the viewers if not all... I stayed with my doubts and still keeping that typical feeling of a masterpiece anyway ; ) Came to my mind now 'cause the use of those cycling sunset shots by @kye towards the refuge staring there in the coast before the upcoming night as epilogue. Why this is film? You play with the one outside beyond the pictures, not only but no less, the time to come*... That's cinema! - EAG * from the material previously organised by the filmmaker there in the film, that's why kye is misleading us ; ) LOL to add some fabrication on it, art is real but also fake and true at same time, the truth of cinema : X this is film, after all ;- )

Pffffssst. Just A.I. uprez the GM1 to 4K. Not because you should, but because it will give you an excuse to keep using the GM1. Man, out of all the cameras I've bought and sold over the years, why'd I let that one go? Still have it as my avatar all these years later...

i think the sensor design then was way more free going than now. now all sensors try to mimic alexa, not bad, but not much diversity.

Yeah, it doesn't look right at 24fps, probably converted from 120p to 24p has something to do with as the shutter speed isn't 180 degrees. ? Your 60p video got a like on youtube and that's why hfr is better than 24p?

DPreview said "The GF5 is a fairly subtle refresh of the GF3" and side-by-side they're almost identical, as well as the specs, so I don't think your revelation really changes things all that much 🙂

Actually, because it's full-auto, I did nothing to protect the highlights - it does what it wants and that's that! I think it exposes to protect some highlights, but I'm not entirely sure. I didn't really look at the SOOC clips with any detail, I just edited them and applied the film treatment. Incidentally, all that was done in Resolve with the built-in plugins - no Dehancer / FilmConvert / Filmbox etc - using the Film Damage / Film Grain OFX plugins and the Kodak 2383 LUT. All the camera shake was in-camera (I'm so talented!) but when I tried to add some shake to the end title it had some sort of bug and I couldn't work out how to get around it, which is why they're disappointingly stable. I should also work out how to add flicker, I don't know if there's a plugin for that or not. As nice as the beach and sunset look, I'm really bored of filming the same locations over and over again, but the GF3 / body cap lens combo and the different style of video made it quite fun and encouraged me to add camera movement and break out of my normal style, so that was really good. I essentially only film at home for practice so that when I go on trips I am familiar with the equipment and can shoot fast, but it's hard to maintain motivation for months or years on end between trips. I can see myself using that setup again, I feel like the small size helps the shooting experience around people, although one person did look at the camera in the footage (in a shot I cut). So it's not invisible.

goddamn it looks bad in 24fps, but it looks truly dogshit in 60

I love the AF100 body. To me it's one of the coolest looking camera bodies. Gigantic eye piece iirc. I bought my F3 partially because i found the body design appealing. Internal 8bit 420 in Slog on the F3 has a lot of mojo. Hard to believe how well it grades.

+1 for some of these older cameras really having a great look to them. There are lots of threads here about the older cameras, like F3, that have continued on because the image really holds up and has a certain magic to it that is difficult to replicate with modern ultra-resolution cameras. Sadly, most people know very little about how to manipulate the image in post so have to "buy" the image they want from the camera. Older cameras are a way to get a more cinematic look without knowing how to push and pull the image significantly in post.

For nerds they are gems. This is a forum providing plenty space for nerdom.:) Put the mft Voigtlaender 17mm on the AF100 and it sings.
