I delete my post.

Wow. I am sure many will join the competiton, once we reliase that we don't have to make million dollar blockbusters, and the fact that many of these restrictions are in our heads. I have a few ideas. Wondering which one to start first.

The GH6(?), and it, hopefully, offers more bang for the buck than the XT4. Panasonic should have a superb announcement video. The world of low morale indie filmmakers could do with a new M43 monster. If they announce another S Series camera ... 🤬

The world population in 1300 AD was between 360 and 432 million. If 200 million were wiped out by the plague, Europe would be completely empty (since the majority of its victims were Europeans). It did take Europe apparently 200 years to get back to its original population (or population growth trajectory), but the figures are growly exaggerated. Europe probably didn't have 200 million inhabitants during that period.

This thread had turned into less of a discussion on the Corona Virus/Covid-19 Outbreak/Epidemic/Pandemic and more of guys having their periods (we're a hundred times worse than the women, and we don't even have biology to support our behavior). They should probably hand out male sanitary napkins along with face masks and testing kits, to help everyone calm their t!ts. I don't care about anyone whining or spewing vitriolic in disagreement with me, someone who hasn't or cannot read newspapers or watch the news and is drowned in his political bullshit of a viewpoint, or someone generally frustrated with life and everything in it. It reminds me of college when some office staff worker pushed me and I punched him in retaliation (I am very rarely provoked). I was taken to the principal who asked the guy why he was misbehaving. When he said his mother died the precious evening, I asked him why he came to work instead of being at her funeral/cremation, and there was this strange silence. He got his leave and the principal apologised to me. Long story short, if your life is completely screwed up and the world is getting screwed too, stop spreading the rabid vitriolic. Everyone already has enough on their plates. And quite frankly nobody gives a flying f that your life is sad or you're planning to jump off a 100 floor building. Right now, sensible people are keeping themselves away from infections, stocking up essentials, and having a few backup plans.

I have friends and family in London, and I am surprised at how little is being done by the Government for testing and quarantining people, leave alone having lock-down, and forced holidays (or making people work from home). At this rate, Emgland will have much faster spread of the virus than possibly even Germany (where Merkel claims 60-70% of the population will be infected).

"So, in all seriousness, do you really believe this? I mean, I suppose if you bounce around the lefty crackpot websites that are the equivalent of "InfoWars," you might dig up some nonsense, but otherwise? You gotta show your work on this one. I only to give the rest of us an idea where these sorts of assertions are coming from." You seem to be aware of all possible sources, for everyone, including all manner of conspiracy sites, that you're very aware of. I am not on Facebook, haven't really used it for about 3 years now. You're obviously very active there, and all your sources seem to stem from here, or one of the conspiracy sites you keep mentioning. Maybe you run a few of these.

You'd be surprised, but CNN and the BBC are available to most of the world. One doesn't even have to watch them for hours, to figure out the direction of the narrative for the day.

If people were so moral and self policing, there would no need for government agencies. There would either be no crimes or all criminals would hand themselves in and be punished without lengthy court cases. The majority of the cases are simply because people don't believe their cough and flu symptoms could possibly be covid-19, or because they believe they have no duty to stay in isolation, even after they have been tested positive (or disappeared before results are out). That's how South Korea got the numbers to seell so quickly, in the first place. Telling me that 3 people every day in my areas have developed the virus would make most people in my area get hyper and panicky. It's easier to just test people and isolate them, without insane levels of publicity, especially the mobile alerts of people having been found in localities. The Media in the US and S.Korea aren't even in the same ballpark. Right now, the US media is too busy trying to make everyone believe that covid-19 was probably created in the US, and that no geographical references to Wuhan or China should be made wrt the virus. They are busy with fostering all kinds of curious narratives, instead of helping people contain the problem. I read another report or watched some news saying that the FDA was to be blamed partially, for bureaucratic delays wrt to handling things. Maybe that will also be investigated soon enough, with guilty people punished. After all, this isn't just another flu.

Thank you 🙏 I am in.

Around the months leading up to the Presidential Elections in 2016, for many months, there were all sorts of fake polls and campaigns, which suggested that Trump had less than 1% chances of winning, and that Hillary was GUARANTEED to win. I realised that this fake narrative constitutes the majority of mainstream media news (I have realised that they are fake news, after all). So, while I do believe Trump has his foot in his mouth (or both), any criticism of Trump from the liberal presstitutes isn't believable, by a long shot. It's a mystery why Italy has handled the crisis so badly. Or maybe the Politicians in Italy are busy doing the Bulosconi, with illegal money and underaged girls, and that's why they have Done Almost Nothing to fight the Pandemic. Hopefully, once this gets over, heads will roll (they should probably introduce the guillotine again).

Let's ignore the lame jokes, and get on with the Film challenge. It can be shot on ANYTHING (Alexa, DSLR, Mirrorless Smartphone, GoPro, Spycam etc). Sound should be decent. No restrictions on the story. Acting can be as bad as can be expected from a paranoid filmmaker locked with 4 walls. No limit on how many short films you can submit. Maybe, we become Famous, for creating an opportunity of hope, when the world is going through ome of it's worst crisis in recent years.

Yesss. Maybe a 1 room, 2 people (max), eoshd short film contest (maybe Andrew can open it to other people, under house arrest, too). And preferably under 10 mins.

Jack Maa, the Chinese Billionaire (Alibaba), is apparently donating 1Million Masks and 500,000 testing kits to the US. Though I suspect that these maks may be made in China, and most likely in the November 2019 - February 2020 period, when most masks that are made in China are dated for (and which incidentally, are during the time of the outbreak/epidemic/pandemic). I am mentioning the date and country of origin, causs I ordered masks from different retailers on Amazon, and all seem to be Made in China, and during this period itself. Please check all maks that you use, for their date of manufacture and their country of origin. The last thing you want is a contaminated mask. Maybe these masks can be sanitised and then used. I have no idea, I am merely guessing.

I have a Faceless man's face. I can look like Anyone from history. Without prosthetics.

I shaved my head recently. So I dunno whether I should post the one with my Vin Diesel look or the one with longer hair. 🤣

21 of the 26 countries, yes. Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland and then UK.

Because of the Schengen Visa countries, where its easier to travel across infected countries (Italy, France, Germany and Span mostly) and cities without having easy proof of travel documents. UK comes outside this purview. Having said that, the fact that UK's junior minister of finance is infected herself, and the fact that she met Boris Johnson less than 2 weeks back (more like 1), is a grave matter for concern. UK is suddenly discovering more cases, probably daily, at an alarming rate. Right now, THE WHOLE WORLD needs to be in lock-down, with ABSOLUTELY NO travel between any country. Maybe, all cities should also be on lockdown. People should self quarantine themselves for a month, and hopefully, the spread should have reduced substantially by then. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1043366/novel-coronavirus-2019ncov-cases-worldwide-by-country/

We exited from a gig (some demim Ad), where many members of the team and our clients were frequent flyers, who do a lot of foreign travel. All international airports seem to be at risk, to be honest, and maybe even domestic ones. As are cabs, malls, hyper markets, tubes/subways/metros etc. It may be a good time to stay indoors and away from everyone, for atleast a month. Also the majority of masks available globally, seem to be made in China, around the time the epidemic was building up. Not sure how safe it is to wear contaminated masks, unless one were to disinfect these masks first.

Is there some way to stop the FF trolling on this thread?

Try Makaibari. And brew it within 5% of the instructions. You won't have to drink any that tea after that.

A relentless rant, about the infallible benefits of full frame (a deluding moniker coined by someone who probably hadn't heard of medium format until then), has absolutely no place in a discussion about rumors (and wishlists) about a sensor that measures a little over 1/4th the size of 36x24mm. There are many discussion threats on Full Frame camera, where Full Frame camera discussion would be more appropriate. Let's limit discussion to the M43 format and in specific the GH6, here.

And that's why there are lens options, to help with the field of view. @eleison this is for you. It's far easier to re-crop from 6k, than 4k. It has almost nothing to do with sensor size, and everything to do with the resolution.

They can save money for trade shows and offer more discounts to customers. Also avoid the spread of infections. Don't shake hand with anyone, do the namaste instead. And wear masks, even if they haven't been medically certified. And sun glasses and surgical gloves.

The start of the video was hilarious. I learnt from reading about Henri Cartier-Bresson (and doing it myself), that post is way more important that actually shooting it, and one subconsciously starts figuring out what can be improved or savaged in post, after hundreds and thousands of photos one works on, in post.
