Ah, ok, cool! I can imagine tougher things than having to work with Ferraris for talent, lucky to have that project come your way. All the sexy details and all the brutal slowmos that's good for too! I'm sure it will come out great!

Oh Zach... xD

I think it's a social experiment to see who's sensitive to suggestion... it's kind of a placebo effect. You kinda want to see it work, so you do. Sure there are some truths here and there. But they're greatly exaggerated and most comes across as hipster talk to me. - Sorta reminds me of the mocking that Chris did in that A6300 video:

Great to see your journey is coming along so nicely! You've worked wonders with that G6, Tepui Dream came out great! Nice clever motion and lighting in some of that shots. Works nicely. I'm personally just not sure about the 'mood'. It seems very cold, desaturated, modern and real, which probably has a big deal to do with the lighting situation in the garage. But I'd probably think it would've come out a bit nicer with a warm nostalgic tone too it, especially since it's classic cars. I'd try to spark the imagination and mood a little more. For me, now, it's a little emotionless. Have you tried dialing out the blues with a hint of yellow and exeggerating the reds a bit more? Of course it's all a matter of taste and perhaps this is tweaked to perform best on the display that is going to be on the stand. But to give you an idea, this is kinda what I mean: versus See the difference?

Although, I already have all of those things, because the same goes for using a BMPCC or GH4 for that matter. I'm just missing that camera now. When you can opt between global shutter 30p and rolling shutter 60p, there's nothing quite like it, atleast at the pricepoint especially. Then those thick juicy DNG RAW or ProRes files with excellent qualities and color. Great looking grain structure. Doesn't get much better than that, even if just at 1080p.

Yes, as listed on www.sony.com/electronics/interchangeable-lens-cameras/ilce-6300-body-kit/specifications

Didn't say that it did, as I assume these were already from such a set-up. But it's no grounds for actual concern. We only get to see just a hint of what's going on, we get an image, but not the full picture, if you know what I mean, so I'm hesitant to draw conclusions based on my pixelpeeping, which ultimately doesn't have to mean experiencing the footage in motion as it's ultimately envisioned will be come across like that. You can always take a step back if you need to broaden your scene, sure, that will however change perspective and how far your point of focus is (and in turn how it renders fore- and background. With a focal reducer, you keep that same vantage point, yet widen and brighten the image. Which makes the sensor plane in-line with where a S35 would be. With the de-crop you get back to around the thing you'd see on S35. So it does have some special mojo to it for sure.

I'd rather not dramatize. It's fine footage and andy lee to me is a devine God. But if you want to pixelpeep you do spot these couple of things. Noise is never really in the utmost dark parts, especially if you push the dark areas down more, it's mostly in the grey zone, as it is usually for Panasonic (this is where the Sony A6300 for example seems much much better). But in those last three I see digital noise, compression artifacts, kind of checkerboard patterns with red and green blotches, I just can't deny its existance. But that doesn't say much and might not even be present in the actual footage, just the compressed grab and it's only if you go into pixelpeep mode. From what I've heard about the G7 with Metabones Speedbooster, there's not going to be a problem when you watch the whole thing and not focus extensively on a screengrab.

Maybe you should watch it fullsize, fullscreen with your monitor at full brightness, then you'll be able to spot a couple of things... but the grab with the 'Police'-guy. Dang. It really doesn't get any better than that. Such striking composition, lighting, color. Everything just falls into place on that one.

Dang, that detail in the foliage around 00:07. You see every individual twig and leaf about crystal clear. And the fibers from that sweater. That's some resolving combo.

Sorry about the false hope, it was a parody on the Pocket summer sale:

Haha, then maybe to make it interesting again they'll do a repeat. In that case, count me in for one of those summer deals...

Histogram/Zebra fix, disables V-LOG L exploit over wireless app (which got updates as well). Talking about V-LOG L, Shane Hurlbut did some latitude testing some of you might find interesting... ~ https://www.hurlbutvisuals.com/blog/2016/03/panasonic-lumix-dmc-gh4-vlog-l-latitude-test-cinematography-education/

Admittedly, Andrew did try one of the first ones and concluded that, and I'm pharaphrasing, 'ok, this is a thing now and it's kinda decent'. I went and got one of these glidecam mechanical things from China too to go with the GH2 and Tokina 11-16mm way back when. Quickly gave up and when these electronic pistol grip gimbal stabilizers started to pop-up, I perked my ears... opened my eyes. But I've been waiting forever to reach a certain point I'd felt comfortable getting one. Especially since the earlier ones really showed signs of like a delay on the correction and then correcting in a digital and excessive way, really robotic, not organic. That one video with the Pilotfly H1 then looked really nice and this H2 went up in processing and controlling and as well important: way of set-up. I looks like an OSMO-type device for mirrorless cameras and DSLRs now. Seems like a nicely polished product. Allows you full freedom and flexibility, you can use the tilty-screen of your camera, you can attach a monitor rather easily. It's looking good. I guess the pre-order special price runs until the 21th, so I got a little longer to make up my mind and indeed, hopefully more videos will come out!

Yeah, no, I would not bother with the Nebula either to be honest. Did see that CAME-TV updated their line accordingly. The Mini 3 is out now and that handle looks almost identical between Pilotfly and CAME-TV... ~ http://www.came-tv.com/camemini-3-3axis-gimbal-camera-32bit-boards-with-encoders-p-810.html / http://www.personal-view.com/deals/stabilizers-steadicams-gimbals/came#came-mini-3-and-mini-3-air-gimbals The H2 has over that that it's convertible to be a single pistolgrip gimbal. This seems rather Ronin-M style. Seen good things with the Beholder and Ministurdyflight, but the H2 has the latest and greatest features and sounds and looks very promising. Don't see why it wouldn't be as good or better than the options out there already. I've been following these developments closely since the Nebula 4000. But that seemed like way too much of a hassle. If you don't want to learn to fly a mechanic glidecam, then you probably also don't want to spend a great deal of time, even just a fraction of what a traditional glidecam would cost ya, getting things right with anything. Traditionally, I was with the other Andrew on this: And sure, you could go handheld with a wide lens and slowmo the shit out of it like so: But of course you want realtime imagery and you just want it stable and might not want to go wide all the time. But back to the time consuming point of traditional stabilizers... same goes for electronic handheld gimbal stabilizers. Balancing, messing around with screws, PID settings... ain't nobody got time for that. So at first I felt like... if I'm gonna do this, I'm going to wait for the technology to be actually there to support it. It needs to be idiot proof. It needs to be me-proof. And for the first time, I feel like it might be worth getting one. And the 2-in-1 is just pure genius. I likey. Shouldn't keep you from considering all your options, but I think this might be it.

Cool. Well, it does have that kind of nostalgic vibe to it, like it's more of a memory than just a video. So they'll love watching that back in a few years when they feel like getting sentimental.

Ok, that was pretty awesome. But I guess I wasn't paying too much attention to the visuals because the short is so engaging. Nice! That Worley as in Seth Worley's family? The guy that was on FilmRiot's EPIC Summer?

But is anyone taking the trouble to start using it now?? So, if you were developping new patches, which have become increasingly difficult with newer Canon cameras... it would perhaps be for the 17 people who'd be interested. I don't see it happening. The 5DmkIII ML RAW definitely was a milestone, but there's a lot to love under 10k even that I'd prefer to work with.

Is it even worth tinkering around anymore with the competition upping the game every other month? Besides, familiar sensors... so I bet you're hardly gonna squeeze any more out of it? Maybe it was worth it up to the 5DmkIII. But now??? Not so sure. If I were an actual developer I'd spare wasted time and shift my focus to the Apertus AXIOM project and other revenues.

Ah yeas. A real magician never reveals his tricks.

I think it's mount, balance 'n play.

Dunno man, people seem happy with the Beholder, that Ministurdyflight looks interesting too. But that Pilotfly's really starting to look sexy right about now... As mentioned...

Yeah, BMMCC, more like they Better Make Me Cameras, C'mon!

Yeah, dunno. I appreciate the effort. Surely it's one of the better stuff of the DB I've seen of it, but still the Digital Bolex just doesn't jingle my bells somehow. I must be messed up like that. But dang, that The Universe of that mentioned fella on Vimeo... a pocket, a speedbooster and one lens (and a glidecam) and such awesome results. I don't know, maybe because it's gentler or something, but that's my kinda cookie. Nomnomnom, I do love me some Blackmagic with my milk.
