  1. No. The speedbooster works on the 4K Production Camera as well, which doesn't have a removable mount.
  2. Very interesting. My thoughts. 1. Boy am I glad I sold my second BMPCC4K before this was announced. 2. I don't care one bit about 6K. 3. But I care a lot about the bigger sensor and EF mount. Getting a good combo of lenses and/or adapters on the BMPCC4K that didn't vingette and didn't have massive barrel distortion was a PITA. I'm already kitted for EF. The Tamron 17-50/2.8 VC will probably live on it.
  3. Few professions doesn't come with a pile of boring extra work For me it's the idea, planning, producing and marketing that's the fun part. The actual shooting is just a necessary evil.
  4. Never tried it, just read about it. But given Sony's laggy compression I probably would use it.
  5. I see it every single evening and morning, all year, but more pronounced in the winter.
  6. It was merely a comment on the way to common notion that a colored shadow isn't "real" or is in fact "wrong". When in fact, a grey or black shadow is more incorrect than a colored one. Orange/teal isn't an unnatural grade made up by computers, its how the world actually looks in certain hours of the day.
  7. Im sorry if our discussion made it sound as if we where putting down the work you do. That was never my (and I suspect anyone else) intention. It was merely a side discussion about how I have huge respect for you guys shooting weddings but that Im at the same time very glad I don't have/need to make them. Because they are simply not my cup of tea to watch and/or make.
  8. I would hold of on Youtube until I no longer could make money of it from other streams. Youtube adds doesn't pay as much as people think. Its nickles and dimes.
  9. Also very solid idea. That or to some international animal help organization.
  10. A shadow is always the color opposite of the light on the color wheel. Late in the day when the sunlight is orange the shadow is blue. That's not a grade, it's real life determined by the laws of physics.
  11. From what I saw your posts are a lot about film festivals and popcorn. Something your target audience care very little about. They care about one thing only, dogs being rescued. I would start targeting dog owners, dog related groups and communities. On Instagram you can use up to 30 hashtags per post, use at least 10, if not 30. #dogsofinstagram #dogrescue etc. When you search hashtags on Instagram you see how popular they are, try different combinations and pick the once with +50k or something. There are a million forums, FB groups and so on about dog, cat and other rescuing. Join them all. As a dog owner I've seen a lot of dog and animal rescue channels on YouTube. I would approach the bigger once and try to cut a deal for a sponsored video. Maybe even a discount code with some kickback for the channel. As anyone with a some what successful YouTube will tell you, the big numbers comes from other platforms such as blogs, etc. And still best of all, "unsocial media". Get on the news or in a paper and things start to happen quickly. I used to work in marketing for the worlds second largest chain of animal hospitals and veterinary clinics and believe me, your TA is fanatic. Every time we got a rescue dog or cat that survived some type of ordeal it was a piece of cake planting the story in papers etc. Until your movie hits big that hashtag is just a waste of the # key But seriously, use that hashtag on all posts and then 29 to reach your TA.
  12. I get that, but even if it was my own wedding I would never have a video made
  13. I've never been able to sit through a wedding video. Total respect for people that make them, but I'm really glad I've stayed away from that business..
  14. Yeah unlike PanaSony, Fuji, Nikon etc which are all philanthropy driven NGOs who never cripple the gear they release.. PS. I wonder how many business and economic analyzers who take karma into consideration. I know politicians, included but not limited to the US president, sometimes name drop spagetti monsters and other ghost type creatures when justifying a decision. But I suspect its not as common among science and data driven people.
  15. So far I haven't found any reports confirming your theory. In fact the opposite. Leica wasn't even hit very hard during the 2008 crisis. And none of the Leica shooters I know is "rich" in the sense I suspect you where going for.
  16. Leica is still selling them faster than they can make them. Luxury is still selling well. The Swiss luxury watch industry just had their best year ever.
  17. So did Panasonic, Sony, Olympus, Fuji and Canon. An Atomos rep told me years ago when demonstrating the Shogun that they could do Raw to prores and later raw to raw over HDMI. He told me all the camera manufacturers where informed and they just needed to say "go". So I naturally assumed the A7sii, which wasn't announced at the time, would be first. But no, they all decided to drag their feet for a couple of years first. Thank god for black magic.
  18. To create and export it yes, but not to work with it. Atomos and the others aren't putting Prores in their machines just for Apple users. So on a PC (at least the once I've used) I just import and edit Prores like I would on a Mac. When its time to export I use DNxHD or similar that a PC can create. Unless the project is fine with h.264. PS. To install Prores on to a PC I remember installing and uninstalling Quicktime Player. Might not be needed today. EDIT: wasn't needed when testing it just now. EDIT: Just tested a clip from a BMPCC4K on my Office PC at work. A real piece of HP-junk only used for Words and Excell with Premiere installed just in case. It imported instantly and flowed smoothly.
  19. Why would you need to convert on a PC? All the PCs Ive ever used edits Prores just fine.
  20. It depends on preferred workflow etc. Personally, at this point I would still choose the Z6+Ninja over the s1 because its Prores and it has lenses.
  21. Im good with f1.8 for the most part. The upside of extreme apertures like f1.2 for me is of course light but also being able to isolate subjects (the whole person, not just the eye) and still have the context in which they appear.
  22. Not as such, but Ive compared it to the BMPCC version in my review of the Viltrox and both was in my latest camera blind test.
  23. Sold my Metabones XL for the sharper, adjustable and cheaper Viltrox. The EF-BMPCC from Metabones is great but the once for MFT are overpriced imo.
