F35 is great. Digital Bolex is great if not clunkier ergonomics - CCD are a lot of fun and hopefully will survive the next wave.

Now that the NYTimes supports the story and AJA - we now know it's not as biased and there are videos of it. So now where does everyone stand? I'm off to ebay and adorama for most of my needs. Good bye B&H! They just lost about 10 grand of business a year. Not much, but if everyone does it - it all adds up

I think the cash settlement was for hundreds of workers, not just one. This is how workers get unionized - to save their own welfares. And conditions at Amazon are pretty bad. Where else to get gear from? Samy's camera, EVSOnline, Adorama, Barndoor Outfitters - there are a ton of places that probably don't force workers to work 17 hours a day with no bathroom breaks.

I think look into the 5.7 million dollar cash lawsuit settlement in 2007 the article references.

I don't shop with Apple unless it's used and I also don't use amazon anymore.

The only other camera that comes close to the motion is the Ikonscope D16 or the Digital Bolex - but those both have native ASA of 200 - this is 400, which is what I really rate the red epic at and I rate the Red Dragon Highlight filter at 320 ASA - so it's more sensative - but also it has better overall color. The Sony F35 is a damn fine tool and has a meaty-ness to its images due to its super high resolution 8k sensor and true 4:4:4 chroma sampling. It's a real steal on ebay - $7k about for the system - and it's a tank - it works thru everything - extreme heat and cold and you can drop it a ton of times - it's a beast.

http://america.aljazeera.com/multimedia/2015/10/bh-workers-claim-discrimination-unsafe-standards1.html Looks like I'll have to start buying gear from other places. This is really sad. Also I was unaware of the lawsuit in 2007 settled for millions of dollars.

yes Jo does some great stuff!

yes but he explains what you need to do to work with skintones very easily - also he's starting with pretty poorly shot footage. He helped me a lot. My grading is weird and different, but now I am going to get more serious about skintones, and also keep it weird.

No longer will I have weird skin tones in any of my future footage. Thank you Internet. I put this to work on this thing I shot on red one mx.

awesome - get some great stuff and make sure you spend hours and hours grading it and then regrading it.

shooting tangerine on the iphone was the smartest marketing move anyone could have made - he immediately got a small film to stand out. I wish I had thought of that.

god help us all

My self destrution online is a beautiful thing that I love to do, time and time again. Will history destroy me? Good! All I have to do is change my name. The cost is relatively cheap. Yes you nailed it - it all feels like everyone is running around scared of being banned.

that's nuts - it has no audio in or out. man curious if these guys have used a c300 or fs7 before? Mid range productions usually like to record audio into them. Lord help us all.

thanks Ebrahim - well said. That is a place of frustration especially for filmmakers who exist to be critical of the current state of affairs. Filmmakers should not be sheep.

thanks for being a fan of my self-destruction. I am sure I would actually like Jim Jinnard if I met him - but I still side with Geoff Boyle and Art Adams who are more rebellious and take no easy stand people who move and base their decisions on their feelings and emotions, like all people should, not be scared of how history will treat them. Because we all know history will not treat any of us well - since there are too many of us and no one will care.

That was my revenge mission after billionare Jim cussed out two important members of the online cinematography community. For that post and another I was banned. The ultimate in nerddom shame for a kid who's only violation in his life was an internal suspension in 8th grade.

I don't know where the Red Raven fits. It's cheaper than the C300 Mark II but the fs7 is cheaper too and the ursa mini 4.6k is on the horizon and well...it takes away some from people wanting their red weapon - the crop factor is random - again, just wait till the camera is out and in people's hands. Until then its worthless. And still, the red one mx is still the best red deal to have. Because it exists and it works.

I own three steadicams. It takes about a month to get good at it - then it's pretty small tweaking. costs $2k used. up to 10 lbs weight. the gimbal once you switch the lens you have to tweak it? I don't know - never seen how effective these little guys are but with the steadicam pilot you can put a remote follow focus on it and use cameras like the epic and alexa mini on it when you want to.

you can also buy a steadicam pilot for probably less than these gimbals and it uses physics not electronics to work and takes a lot less tweaking to get right.

thanks - yes it's a LUT from for instance Visioncolor Impulz makes one - or some people make them for free - convert from log space or rec 709 space (the default video space) into cineon then in cineon go from cineon to a film print and you can make your film feel bigger and control the image more. Cineon colorspace is really something beautiful to work from.

yes I throw the flimconvert plug in on it - then next node - go with a REC709 generic impulz - pick one with a .CIN extension and you are in CINEON - then from there - next node - I go to the CINEON folder and choose kodak d55 or just play with them - then next node - I modify the "film print node" - sharpen it, etc

oh god I know how that feels.

even without log - use the rec 709 generic and it helps
