I think there would be more demand for their anamorphic lenses then their spherical cinema lenses. Where most of us dont upgrade because the image is the same as the still lenses. As for anamorphic it makes a completely different image. So I for sure would upgrade to that. Hope to get more news from Samyang anamorphic lenses soon, otherwise hope the orion atlas lenses will hit rental stores in europe soon, as the rental price of these is still quite ok.

Well I have nothing against the youtube clip link, but at this point if I see if its only a video. I will not look at it. People who can/like watch videos can still watch the video. I don't think you would be missing much traffic, unless the content is bad, you could sniff that out looking at the summarizing for 5 seconds then you would obviously not click on the video. Further more, just posting video links on a website like fstoppers is kinda lame. I could just visit a facebook group for that. My 2 cents are: you gotta evolve or ya might be closing the website sooner as you think. What I would also love is an option on youtube for the content creators to give a written summarization on the description page. With screenshots if needed. That way they could still earn from the ads, but still give information on a more effective way. And man am I sick of people talking into the camera for 5 minutes on youtube. Everybody seems to be looking for fame as a influencer. I get it, if you can pay your bills this way instead of working in a macdonalds, it's a no brainer. But they are only creating content so they get revenue, not because they want to share actual information or the joy of sharing information. They end up creating bad content because they need to upload weekly. I rather see one decent video once a year, then waste my time every week. Money really does run the world.

Yeah maybe the internet 10 years ago with all the data limits wasnt so bad after all. It felt bad then, but looking back now. I was at least not sidetracked with social media or youtube, but there was not as much content/distraction either.

The move would be too big (this would work if I could tilt the head 90°). I would like to stay on somewhat the same position.

haha yeah always interested in good website if you got any. Agreed nofilmschool is 99% bs these days, they keep on fixating on beginner stuff. I always end up forums for more detailed or more expertised solutions. But I do like browsing sites like fstoppers, no film school and such because now and then you do pick something up.

Hello, You all have probably seen the gif where a guy spins his camera 360 degrees and follows a kickflip so when playing the video out the camera follows the movement of the deck. Which is a cool in camera trick but would it not be easier and smoother to just do this in post these days shoot +4K resolution. And just spin the image 360 in post? Or would that not result in the same effect? Cheers

Yeah only problem with that is what if something breaks, the cost of the repairs will probably exceed the price of a ursa mini pro.

Well I also invested deeply into EF lenses. (shooting with UMP EF), so I will get a metabones speedbooster instead. As EF lenses are still the best still lenses mount choice. Not because I like the EF mount, but because you can mount EF lenses to about any camera and not vica versa. I shoot manual anyway so I dont care for the autofocus problems.

Yeah me too, and I may not have been clear about this, but I mean every article out there tips, tricks, tutorials not only product reviews.

Well in most of the cases they are linking to a youtube video of somebody else. So the one who is posting it on fstoppers/nofilmschool doesnt get payed for the link to the video either as they are the article poster not the content creator. So in that regard I dont think it would result in affiliate links. The youth is already lost to countless hours browsing youtube each night so they will still have a fanbase on youtube. If this trend continues I think nofilmschool, fstoppers, ... will have to close the website down as its just links to youtube. I can go to youtube straight away, I dont need another website to bring me to youtube. And maybe even pushes authors to create original content.

Hello, Sorry this is a bit off topic, but I have to say this out loud. The last few years the following has become a trend: Review websites are posting articles with youtube links without summarizing the content of the video. And this is annoying the hell out of me. Is it that much to ask to write an article summarizing the content of a video. All the big websites are doing this, nofilmsschool, fstoppers, ... I cannot watch video's all the time because of various reasons: 1: I cannot use audio (work, school, library, public transport, ...) 2: Video's take forever, I do not have that much free time (they will have an intro, outro, jokes, ...), I rather spend my time on watching an actual film or spend my time with my family then watching several youtube video's, where the content could be summarized in a 5 min read. 3: Reading is more efficient for me at least, as you can reread faster with less distractions 4: Clickbait titles with shitty content. 5: Its making influencers the biggest contentmakers, why should I visit other websites if everything links to youtube videos. So please if you are writing articles on photography/cinematography summarize the video's. I will be very thankfull! Cheers

I have been away from ML from some time, back in the day the 60fps 1080p ML was really a 720p upres kinda thing and was kinda soft. Was this improved in the last 2 years? Man you just cant beat those 5d III RAW colors..

Yeah I love the opening shot. Thanks for the tip, I like small towns like this that are not crowded with tourists. So I may add this to my travel list.

haha I see, the day exteriors were Alexa. I guess it must be the wobbly camera movement, the lights or the shitty story that got me off then ^^

Well I was not impressed with the cinematography of that film either. It looked kinda off from what I am usually seeing (ARRI or RED). Is highlight rolloff all about the sensor or is there processing afterwards that affects this as well? (if terra 4K and GH5S have the same sensor, I am curious between a camera side by side, to see if there is a differene in highlight rolloff)

Well if the camera will not be at least as good as the phantom 4, ill pass.

Meh im not digging the look. anamorphic is all about the desqueeze for me. Flares are easily added in post. The only benefit from this is the anamorphic shaped bokeh.

I gotta say, I never had any issues playing on vimeo on any device(and I have been on Vimeo for 7 years or so). So not sure what the problem is. Youtube encodings sucks, the ads suck, most of the content sucks it seemes more aimed to influencers and vloggers, clickbait titles and thumbnails, youtube is also too strict blocking anything nude or anything copyrighted, I do like youtubes free upload policy but it comes with ads.

Kinda too bad, as youtube kinda sucks and is a total different audience.

Is it me or have a lot of users abandoned vimeo? Could be the summertime as well, but I see less activity(at least on my lousy video's).

Nice is that the 5D III ML RAW?

This topic will be the last place I will be looking for information on the pocket 4K at this point, Its got 130 pages of speculation, requests, wishes, complaints. But no actual user feedback or footage. So I am stunned that people are all of sudden complaining that it got a bit off topic, while John's insight is probably the most valuable information you can find in those 130 pages.

Thanks for your insight! But what is the definition of a setup? Is it when you change location, change one light, change tripod height/angle/placement, change camera settings? As making 35 light setups a day seems brutal and 35 tripod changes seems very doable. + then we even have not discussed the amount of takes that actors require to land a good performance. (or at least in my experience it takes several takes per shot, but I have not worked with any greatly talented actors either, but I do have seen David Fincher grind 35 takes on hollywood actors as well )

- 1.33x Anamorphic Squeeze - green flare meh

Heey, I took the ump and the leica-r summicrons for a testspin. I did make a lot of errors but learned from them, so I can take that with me on the next project. Feedback is welcome. Kind regards,
