Did people talk about this camera? Look at those skintones - all of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsusvQpWc7g

prelim findings: compression at 3:1 max is recommended. 4:1 has too much noise.

I'm sure they will make one with a battery later. I think keeping it out for weight reasons. Lenovo made one with a battery I think for usb c laptop. I think whether or not the MBP works, if it's rendering 400x slower than the previous MBP, there is a problem there. The only reason I was interested in it was for the increased gfx card capability

thanks man - sorry again about the whole previous thread. I am a fool. It is good - but is it gooder than the ursa mini? Tomorrow all will be revealed.

Yea, that pretty much puts the nail in the coffin. Now I wonder - is this the beginning of the end for Apple making computers for professionals? Are they now a watch and tablet company?

I wish someone would make a resolve/film editor guide to hackintosh that's super super simple to follow and tell you exactly the parts you need. Tonymac is too complicated for me!

Apology to everyone including John Brawley - The Ursa Mini 4.6k from reviews is looking amazing . They seemed to fix the various problems. I'm going to do a skintone test on thursday with the sony f65 and red epic mx and canon c300 ii.

Thinking of hackintoshing the Dell XPS 15 - sounds good in theory - but researching well the wifi card stops working - and I don't think Resolve will utilize the nvidia card in it. Which brings me back to it all - how important is pro res? How many people use FCP X or request it? What is the reason to stay mac? I just don't know anymore. It's time for people to start migrating. I just wish there was some way Blackmagic could license pro res and put it into windows. Hi Jon - I think it looked really nice - your lumix test video. Don't see anything out of the ordinary on my macbook air.

Good on you Andrew!!! Also I think Ebrahim running around there is salt on a wound as well.

I don't know if I'm still up to the job. I've put on a few pounds.

awesome yes ice light 2 - just quick and easy lighting - very powerful output especially when close to a subject. great for outdoors and quick quick backlight that is super easy to use.

What was everyone's favorite new camera or lenses or lighting? Mine is the ice light - cool little light. don't know if it came out this year. thread of the year is Ebhrahim's Epic Rangefinder journey. Sorry, had to get that in there. That was about 30 hours of my life.

At film school, your professors are usually not actively working in the field. So this WanderingDP - interview young up and coming DPs who share unique perspectives and ideas is incredibly valuable. I learned a ton from the interview with Chayse Irvin, super talented young dp who shot the Lemonade Beyonce film. http://wanderingdp.com/

I just did a test with the rx100 iv and Andrew's profile - much nicer off the bat! Worth the dough!!

This guy sums up everything I feel. Thanks for sharing.

Why you so mad, Jonesy ? Come over here and give me a little kissy-poo. We can get through this together. Let's bury the hatchet my friend!

No Mercer, read my original post. I don't mention Bernie. Hillary Clinton, the person I voted for and supported with videos and get out the vote, got a third of the coverage that Trump did. Here's what I wrote: "The media gave him coverage during the primaries. Nonstop coverage. Waited on him to speak. "Did you hear what he said?" "Did you hear what he tweeted?" Put on the screen his rallies even before he got on the stage. While they gave a third of that coverage to Hillary Clinton, the best choice in defeating the monster." Media bias - there's a lot of good docs about this: Manufacturing Consent, a doc about Noam Chomsky. Explains mainstream media bias and censorship. Or Glenn Greenwald just talked about this on Democracy Now. Every piece of storytelling - and that's all the news is - storytelling - has bias. How an article can write about a candidate. Hillary Clinton was a serious candidate. So was Jeb Bush, John Kasich, Ted Cruz, Chris Christie, Bernie Sanders. A lot of serious candidates who deserved more airtime than a man who said Mexico was sending to America their rapists. Do you think we should give David Duke, the head of the KKK, more airtime?

I am glad for this - for you able to see past your anger for HRC and think this is a good idea. I think we need to all come together - and I hate HRC too but I am scared for the environment so didn't go Trump (who I think will probably be worse for it than HRC) - Also yes this is a geeky tech film forum - but our toys are to tell stories -to transmit ideas. We influence and affect so many people. I think we should all be aware of the bigger picture. Anyway thank you. Did he? During the primaries? No the HRC camp it seems from wikileaks emails had him as a "pied piper" candidate - for them to take seriously. And seriously they did. They should have ignored him like during the Romney campaign ignoring the Papa Johns guy. Not give him 3:1 coverage vs the other candidates and HRC

yes there was - it was Bernie Sanders.

The media created Trump. The Apprentice. A top ten show in America. Where every week Trump is a smart hero to everyone who wants to make it in America. A successful billionaire to those who don't better. The man who can fire you. A man in his Trump airplane, with his fancy suits and beautiful woman and a vision of success, of the American dream, to those who know nothing better. The media gave him coverage during the primaries. Nonstop coverage. Waited on him to speak. "Did you hear what he said?" "Did you hear what he tweeted?" Put on the screen his rallies even before he got on the stage. While they gave a third of that coverage to Hillary Clinton, the best choice in defeating the monster. Trump the monster. They made this monster. Because - he was GREAT for RATINGS. Because he was a carnival backer. Entertaining as hell. It was a fun reality show for everyone! He knew what to say - what soundbytes work. He was a natural extension of our TV culture's endless reality-show culture that has been going on since the 90's. Leslie Moonves, CEO of CBS was quoted as saying in reference to Trump: "It May Not Be Good for America, but It's Damn Good for CBS." The man who will most likely appoint supreme court judges to destroy Roe vs Wade, the Paris Climate talks, the marriage equality act, and any sort of green energy reform. So what do we do? Take away the one thing the mainstream media cares about: their RATINGS. To sink the news divisions of any mainstream media service that potentially destroyed the planet in exchange for a quick billion dollars. THIS IS REVENGE for them destroying our future. It's time to get angry. To not be reserved. These fuckers just took away female reproductive rights because they wanted to buy a new private jet. Why couldn't they get their ratings from their entertainment division? You greedy little fucks. I am calling on all of you to work on and create alternative new sources and docs and FB videos that steals away their eyeballs. Media that is more engaging and more thoughtful and ethical enough to not resort to ratings grabs above all else. Above human lives. There are so many causes that need videos - that need larger audiences to get behind - green energy movement, human rights movements, international policy movements, college education movements, b-corporations, local politicians and efforts. Critical looks at the world's major banks and international powers - so much stuff. We can do this. We have the talent and skillset from our 10,000+ hours of learning and learning and learning to use our powers for good. Let's get organized. Let's all talk about this. Let's figure out how to divide up our limited time to do this all.

You guys are great. I feel better now. Also "Make Canon Great Again" - who wants that on a red hat? Andrew, that could be amazing!

All I care about is a camera that can shoot 10k and pro res 4444444444

Horrible 24 hours in the States. We have a new Orange president. What does this mean for Canon, Red, Panasonic, Sony, Arri? Well the dollar may crash. Maybe it won't - actually seems like it won't. So no one knows what's going to happen to trade. Will it help Red that manufactures in the States? Again, who knows? One thing we do know - this was a useless post.

I can't edit anything with resolve. I mean, it's free. But it is slow and sluggish. man I'm loving premiere.
