Shot with the f35 to Odyssey 7Q - lightweight and small and battery efficient. Shot to Pro Res HQ with Red 18-50 and 50-150 lenses. It's very possible to use this camera now to do doc-work. Now with variable ND options like with the Revar Cine-Tray https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUeE7s4g5F8&feature=youtu.be

I used red zoom 18-50, red zoom 50-150 and a 50mm zeiss contax rehoused glass and a 100mm macro rehoused for PL

It was a journalist - Andrew Jennings, from the UK who spent so many years bringing down the corruption in Fifa - http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/may/28/fifa-expose-british-press-andrew-jennings-sunday-times-corruption-fa And it was a comedian and his news show that helped - maybe a little, maybe a lot - John Oliver. His first story on Fifa raised a lot of awareness on the issue and maybe got the USA to get a little more agreesive in pursuing it - who knows. The US works a lot based on public opinion. These two forces and twitter helped change this corrupt organization for the better. Filmmakers and journalists - we are all one of the same - storytellers. And our duty is to help society, whether we want to or not - listen to Robert Deniro about that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN4v_JK_qbY We all got into filmmaking to help change the world and now more than ever it's happening. I'm proud to be part of this community. Here's John Oliver's response to Bladder stepping down: http://time.com/3905861/john-oliver-sepp-blatter-fifa-response/

Man you guys are a tougher audience than reddit. Wow. Also I thought Tiny Furniture was whiney, boring, and petty bourgeois issues. Just like my little film, "The Quiet Escape." I think Kung Fury is touching, sweet, creative, and memorizing much like the first Matrix and had a sense of humor. But hey, I guess we all have opinions.

​yes she is! thanks guys, again for your help.

I found the film much more enjoyable in that 30 minutes than I did watching Ex Machina last night or Fury Road. Both budgets were $150 million and $65 million, respectably. $630k is more than I thought - I thought he said $5k initially. Still $630k is remarkable for the look and feel of the film. I would peg it at 5 million. I'm so curious what camera they used and lenses and how they got the look - it looks so much better than most Hollywood films.

Your opinions did really affect me and you were right - so I made shots that hold longer . Thank you guys for the feedback!

Kung Fury is most creative and fun film I've seen since Napoleon Dynamite. Here's the link - a Swedish film funded by Kickstarter - here's a link to the full film. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS5P_LAqiVg Basically it came out of nowhere - made by David Sandberg for no money just with his friends and raised on Kickstarter up to $600k for a 30 minute film that beats pretty much every Hollywood action comedy I've seen in the past 20 years. And all in 30 minutes. It's just a pure idea that's hilarious and so well made and thought out. He took his skills from music videos and created something more creative and brilliant than made by a much larger budget like Mad Max: Fury Road. With a more realized world, better script, and more interesting characters. Here's a behind the scenes look at the film - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReYHl8SPVfM It doesn't look like much to make it - just guys on a greenscreen - and it oozes personality and character. You don't need hundreds of people and studios behind you to be creative - just a little idea. That fat girl is David Sandberg. He circumvented the whole world of Hollywood and made a better Hollywood movie than Hollywood could make. You don't need hundreds of screenwriters and rewrites and famous actors and egos - just one vision - one idea - and a bunch of friends, and a little bit of money. The internet allows this to happen. The Internet allows anyone a fighting chance. It is decentralized. Gabe Newel, the CEO of Value talks about this - if you have a good idea, it will get out. Word of mouth. It just gets out. So next time you make something, anything - just make it good. Put all your money into making it good and the Internet will take care of the rest. The film is a trojan horse - it seems silly but the message is simple - "Hollywood - with all your focus testing and test screenings and computers you can't overcome something simple - film is about storytelling and mood and following the vision of a director or small-knit group of friends. You have become lost and distant to what is possible in the modern era." With more films like Kung Fury becoming successful, I now have renewed hope in the future of filmmaking. Boring and unremarkable films like Ex Machina and Chappie and the Avengers 2 of the Hollywood machine can go far, far away and real passionate auteurs can make their films from anywhere just with going straight to the people, who are much more intelligent than Hollywood gives the world credit for.

I just watched Ex Machina on the big screen - and it didn't look good. Sorry you don't like my look - looks are just looks - personal tastes. Also I lit him with a kino that was lighting a focus chart - and it was in a mixed fluorescent room - not the best options to get a nice look from. Lighting is everything. The other test with the lenses I still could see the advantage of the ultra primes and it was a joke test as well. If you want real tests, go to CML or do the tests yourself. Can't complain if its free.

This film is the most creative film I've seen since Napoleon Dynamite. This is amazing. Thanks for this!

You get what you pay for.

you can power window his face - in post great job - love it!

I still don't know how they would make money by making it free. Do they put out the business around them and then charge money? I don't quite see why, but hey, sign me up!

I redid the color - better skin tones also added a 200% zoom in - can anyone tell the difference?

A free non-linear editor that will be good enough to do a lot of work - and a great organizational tool like Resolve futher makes me think this is going to be a game-changer again. Why put all this stuff out for free? I have no clue - guess it gets more people to like Blackmagic.

epic it looks like with canon l glass . came out soo good

that's the best reason in the world. Nice work!

It looks like a good camera but the recording options are data intensive - and until we have comparison videos lets talk about cameras that exist and how to make them better? Isn't that more useful?

Arri price drop? Or AJA price drop? Also remember there are other websites to go to - petapixel, nofilmschool, dvxuser, bmcuser, shane hurlbut, reduser - so many sites for cameraoids.

What happened?

I overall like the motion and grade on this stuff - I would be very curious to see a test with ursa 4.6k raw mdoe and others - like alexa - then we can start telling - just loving something you see that's graded is also the grading job done. I've seen so many things on the red that are graded poorly and then things graded so well - it's just amazing what is possible on any camera by grade, dp, filttration, etc. man I sound like a broken record because I am one!

agreed someone should try to reach him - may 11th was his last tweet too. I think either something happened to him or he's on a "social media" fasting

I think he did an amazing job on the video - much better looking than my Charlie Chicken test video.

it weighs the same as the red dragon and you can strip it down with the convergent design odyssey 7q to be about the size of the dragon - it's really not that tough to strip down. You should try it.

I regraded it better - made more natural. It's not going to get cheaper - not many of them are left on the chopping block. But anyway by next year the URSA mini 4.6k should be damn good - we will see. No moire issues - I'm curious how Dexter screwed it up - it resolves very well. Huge photosites on the sensor and elegant debayer to 1080p.
