What's the native ISO on the FS5?

I haven't seen that till now. Damn. He filtered the shit out of that. Hard to judge image quality.

I saw it tonight in 70mm. It was beautiful and I loved the road show experience. No previews. Just a black screen into the overture. The movie was a little disappointing in my opinion. I loved the Hitchcock style that he went with but it ranks lower on my Tarantino list.

Looking forward to seeing some footage. I always want to like Sony but their low-mid range camera images aren't my favorite. Hopefully FS5 will look more like the higher end FS7, F55.

I usually just export to uncompressed AVI, then convert the AVI to ProRes. It's a hassle of an extra step, but I only do it when creating a master.

You'll have to download a 3rd party app. Footage Studio 4K is nice.

I'm impressed. Best single hand gimbal footage I've seen.

Go Bernie!

I respect your opinion and agree with some of it. But I'll say this and move on: Luke didn't destroy the Empire or defeat Vader in ANH. Rey doesn't defeat Kylo Ren in TFA. She puts up a good fight and cuts his arm. We'll learn backstory in the next 2 films regarding the gap between ROTJ and TFA I'm sure.

True about ANH, but I think alot of people are thinking TFA is going to be the same storylines as the originals. We already see Kylo Ren making rash decisions that Vader would never make (killing a family member). He has potential to be a whole new character that we haven't seen. Rey is conveniently awesome at The Force but we don't know why yet. She could be something special that's explained later. I'm not saying that after episode VII, VIII, and IX we'll have a perfect story, but maybe.

I'd disagree. Think of ANH on it's own. You have no idea who any of the characters are in the grand scheme of the galaxy. It's not until Empire and ROTJ you find out some of the character's intentions/flaws/connections. I think it'll be intriguing as a new trilogy.

So I ended up seeing it 3 times this weekend. 2D digital was my favorite. It just didn't feel like I was a kid again with Star Wars in IMAX 3D. SPOILER: Third time around I noticed Obi Wan's voice in Rey's vision with the lighsaber.

SEMI SPOILER Kylo Ren is a great new villain. Nothing like him before in Star Wars. Temper tantrums with a light saber. Anakin had moments but his were more anger. Kylo's were more uncontrolled and wild. So stoked to see what Rian Johnson does with him.

I think Rian Johnson will bring a fresh style to the series. He's a great choice for the second one.

I loved it. Maybe the one flaw was that it was too similar to A New Hope, but that's fine with me. I think they had to address the prequel frustration and get it out of the way. Can't wait to see it again!

I'd say IV, V, VI, III, II, I I'll re-assess Friday.

It's dropped to 94%. No way were they going to allow it to rank higher than Episodes IV and V.

Interesting. I'm still optimistic though. 97% on Rotten Tomatoes is no easy feat. Especially considering A New Hope and Empire were less than 95%.

I wasn't suggesting not to get a Scarlet. Just a way to manage that extra 5K if you didn't have it up front. I agree Scarlet would be a good long term solution therefore 2 years of no interest payment would make sense.

Here's an idea to get an extra $6K that you can pay off over 2 years with no interest. Buy a C100mII with 0% financing. Sell the C100 "as new". Now you have over $5k in fluid cash. Put it toward the Scarlet. Pay off the Canon monthly bill for 2 years with no interest. Boom.

This looks pretty good minus the weird left-to-right jerking every once in a while.

Was it a fluorescent or LED light? I hardly ever get green tinted footage with the C100. Usually leans toward magenta.

You son of a bitch JK. I'm avoiding Twitter till Thursday. Want to go in with no spoilers.

Yeah C100 image is solid, but not the best my any means. The camera as a whole is the main attraction.
