As I could let Andrew privately know about the opinion of my own, let's erase the bad apples and let the fresh ones be up! There's no filmmaking without life : ) The world needs light and only good trade of ideas can help it IMHO :- ) Just my two cents... - EAG

It's a pleasure to see you two to join such conversation, that's part of your legacy pal @Andrew Reid ;- )

A bargain, Marty... I bought four of them for €100 average a piece! :- )

I am still in shock with all this... What the hell is it? History will judge and have no mercy, no matter how wild the wildest of our dreams are : X Truth is external to us, we adhere to or are out of the game, no doubts on it. My prayers and thoughts with all my brothers wherever they are. Too sad and bad all this, strange days these we're living today in 2022... : (

Horses for courses. One doesn't replace the other... But there are ones less than others and vice versa, hence my comment. What's the problem of external stuff attached to? I use my P4K as any other PROfessional device BTW. I have had them since GH1 and I wouldn't sell my P4K for any one of those. No matter how much I love them... Really :- )

I salute their effort... : ) If they'll ever succeed to launch a GH7 once, this proves there's market for -- I sincerely hope! Even because no other format offers such sweet affordable diversity of glass, including anamorphics as MFT does... So, long life to! EAG :- )

There's no competitor nor will there ever be for P4K... :- )

Well, where are the cats? The flowers...?

Well, quick hit record is not exactly what you're expecting when you shoot film... LOL :- )

Great shot man, thanks for sayin' and sharing it : ) People need to figure it out, this is what art is all about, not tech... No matters how huge our geek component is ; ) I love technology but nothing beats art : P Not once, nor ever :- ) - EAG

Sent : ) Matthew, your short movie is something really unique... and I just think this production should be celebrated, once people end fully surrendered < 3

: D Pretty on the spot, you have eye, same thing here... : ) I only think you just forgot to mention yet the most affordable bargain ever out there: Blackmagic and Canon... Funny, isn't it? ;- )

hey Marty @PannySVHS where's yours then? :- )

Confirmed: To me, this is also another no-brainer to my book:

Fisheyes are tricky indeed, we all know that ; ) I didn't watch it in VR but... At same time, it's no hard to check whether the camera angle or its movement both actually result in anything you want but just not there as the best example of the most talented découpage and finest directing approach IMO OFC :- ) Tricky or not we all understand the low angle shot and the way the camera goes forward... That would just need a more inventive solution under the perspective of the directing, to my book at least : P

Nor the absence of composition... WTH is that fail in a promo paid?! OK, we all know fisheyes are not exactly sweet for human faces & bodies but no one told the shooter, the setup i.e. the angle where to place the camera, the height of the whole thing, distance to the subject and so on is actually part of the craft...?

Reality nowadays is transformed into this sort of examples coming from the gaming world: https://playcrazygame.com/2022/02/11/police-in-portugal-arrest-student-who-planned-attack-at-the-university-of-lisbon-02-10-2022-world/

C'mon pal, don't ignore the Rise of Unicorn aka Transformers 6, 7...?!

Yeah, that was a funny experiment... With that bargain, that created a style with short shots -- who can forget the new aesthetics founded in the meantime? LOL Art follows life, as this camera seemed so! : D I miss those enthusiastic times... ...when people didn't wonder on endless no overheating 8K60p RAW as a silly introduction... Let alone the IBIS debate! : X Crazy times we live today! : P

Just jealous now : D don't forget to send to someone else too : P

PS: Not only a matter of space... to clear up as a disclaimer, bien sûr ;- )

Another astonishing film editor I can never forget the fortune I had of a personal contact with and I could make part of my own learning from, is La double vie de Véronique and Trois couleurs: Bleu & Rouge's editor, the French Jacques Witta... Where editing is not a matter of space but much of time... Bazin and Deleuze are there ; ) https://www.criterionchannel.com/three-colors-red/videos/jacques-witta-on-red

Yeah, uncredited, sorta cameo à la Hitch : D with whom he started his career BTW with The Wrong Man, on which he worked as assistant editor. Here's more stuff from Bobbie O'Steen and her husband's life dedicated to the movies, already in a period where the modern cinema comes up to the silver screen; brings a contribution of his own to the motion pictures within the mainstream -- interesting the fact he collaborated with them for decades: https://www.bobbieosteen.com/blog/ Many videos on topic right there in this channel to prove YT is not only shills, money and garbage ;- )

On this five year-old Rayane's drama of these days, the child from Morocco who died in such dramatic circumstances, this Abbas Kiarostami's short movie came to my mind as one of my favorite ones along others but this one has its special place: May God receive the little Rayane in a better location than the one where he fell down. As the James' song says: "I hope, I pray."
