check this out edit: yeah this is definitely an improvement for hd~! damn its cheap too... dpaf.......

interesting huh i guess we will see! question: what would you guys like better? - a 5d4 that shoots soft 1080p, but pretty good 4k at a +/- 1.4x crop, with no c-log ~or~ - a 5d4 that shoots amaaazing 1080p from a full readout of the sensor with c-log but no 4k at all

got this reply earlier today theres power in numbers!! lets keep hitting these guys up

i didnt either i was nice!! lol im a vimeo user but i dont pay for plus or pro – ive just used it for ~watching~ video. i was *planning* on getting a plus or pro account to support the new stuff im working on but as soon as they made these changes i was like Uhhh no. anyway, i wrote them feedback, they even have an option for people who arent paying members yet i wrote: Hi friends, I've enjoyed using Vimeo very much over the last several years, and I have been looking forward to upgrading to a Pro account to support my first feature film, but it has come to my attention that Vimeo's public playback structure has changed insofar as it will now "Auto-Select" a playback quality for viewers; and the tab where one could specify what playback quality is assigned has been removed. Since controlling playback quality is the one and only reason that I would pay for a Plus or Pro account, I am no longer planning to do so. I wanted to share this feedback in hopes that your product team will take it under advisement. Very best wishes, Me see how nice i was Zak??

absolutely agree. i was just wondering cuz i thought the color was deep and really nice

wow kewlll!!!! its coming this year i swear. ill send u a link great link, ive been there before but havent spent enough time. this is going in my queue lolol ??????? so true and the ppl who lift stuff from fine art usually look like geniuses to their peers because no one knows the source material hellz yeah for people who have never seen stuff like this before, you should definitely check it out, as filmmakers it might broaden your horizons, in a good way~! the cremaster cycle is kinda like taking dmt in relation to filmmaking (only it lasts way, waaay longer lol) the thing that amazes me the most about contemporary artists is how unique each respective practice is i like bill a lot. on a personal level, ive been disappointed in the relative reluctance of collectors to embrace video, as they do other media. i hate to say it, but rich old [white] people want a jeff koons sculpture in their backyard. when it comes to satisfying that need.... ::sigh:: even i have to give jeff credit i am seriously a terrible resource for this its kind of embarrassing. the truth is, i havent been paying too much attention to the fine art world for the last 5 years or so, ive been learning everything i can about dealing with hollywood and commercial filmmaking in general, fine artists are terrible at being a community. we tend to not get along well with each other, and we spend a lot of time alone. tbh its very competitive when i first got into filmmaking i breathed a sigh of relief... its a much more welcoming environment believe it or not. in filmmaking theres this idea of a team, and we all need each other, no one does this stuff alone~! graduate film students all help each other, while graduate fine art students all hate each other lol

omg ? > seriously tho, Zak is one of the most GENEROUS filmmakers on all of the internets, and his insight is exceptionally valuable because of how goddam talented he is i WISH i had a team like Zak does. invaluable. i would feel like "this movie [im making] is gonna be amazing we're gonna make a lot of money" instead of "?????!!!!" lastly, purely in terms of business models, Down and Dangerous is a fantastically educational case study, thanks to the fact that Zak has graciously shared so much information about his process. the trailer itself is so professional it transcends any perception of low budget filmmaking. if i saw the trailer for D&D on television during a commercial break on fox in 2016 it would never occur to me that it didnt belong there. clearly paramount pictures feels the same way so, fyi: Zak Forsman isnt some jabroni, hes an awesome dude*. thanks for the inspiration, Zak *and ruggedly handsome i might add

nicely done any guesses on the camera? i definitely have one but i am not going first on this lol RIP Eric Garner indeed. ny cops have been *completely* out of control for a looong time

thank you for your thoughts, thats very insightful commentary, since that is essentially exactly what im doing my work is kind of like the cremaster cycle, but watchable and entertaining theres a huge emphasis on important live events that drive my story... and that content will be available online for free and theres all kinds of stuff in my art practice – from big drawings to sculptures and installations. so in theory one of my shows is gonna have all that stuff. and youre gonna be entertained by some kind of "show" thats kind of the big idea in the abstract if theres one thing that never ceases to amaze me its how endless the audience seems for people willing to PAY for porn kink.com is an example, and theyre considered p mainstream now, i mean theyre a huge company. my friend just did a scene for them not too long ago and she told me some of their numbers its insane like, have you ever heard of myfreecams? its a site where you can watch for free or tip the performers its an option. its the same thing if you watch it for free however tipping allows you to be interactive and... idk people love it. i know a girl who made like $130k in 3-4 months on that site and selling her own homemade webcam videos through manyvids or a site like that. now mind you she did this by first spending several years amassing a huge audience of 100k+ tumblr followers, giving them FREE content all the time. ...but would people pay for it? especially when it was free the week before? clearly in her case the answer was YES. she paid for 4 years of college in a few months, but it was after years of audience building, and frankly spending a ton of time being interactive with her fans. it worked like a charm, but shes p smart, thats my point: she planned all this out. thats what we can all learn from. the planning lol but i digress

yeah tbh i would i like your thinking andrew v smart m43, super 35, and ff lenses w/speed booster all on the same body. hot i definitely agree that panasonic needs to step it up and be aggressive with the GH5/something under $2k id love to see this

scary is right. depressing too why cant technology SAVE us from this to SOME degree? at least make it way harder for pirates? a motivated person is going to rip your video no matter what it takes, but what if my film was available for download not as a video file but an application which needs a time sensitive key? or something?? idk i have no idea but im gonna figure some shit like that out. if that means that you cant watch the film w/o an internet connection, so be it if youre louis ck and you have a loyal audience youve built over a lifetime of touring and making shows than you can get away with a lot of shit that poor people like me can not thank GOD im shooting for the fine art business first and foremost. nothing much has changed there in the last 30 years ? great article by zak btw http://filmschoolrejects.com/opinions/movie-worth-stealing-filmmaker-piracy-experience.php thanks lafilm

i kno i just said that although to be fair to araucaria with the color grade this does look like slog2 puke-o-vision ?

she is "15 years older with grey hair and bad color job" ? they both are and they look it. the production is doing no favors to these actors. they both desperately need a lot of eyebrow makeup. and i would use way softer light whenever possible. i mean im a LOT younger than them and i want that for MYSELF its an arri alexa xt

im aware of the many variables involved! the operative word in my statement was "possible" ?

hmmm interesting question... not as i recall...? im curious about how it felt different... i actually had a huge netflix marathon preparing for the new series lol i think the cinematography/production design stepped up quite a bit after the first season, and edged forward from there as time went on. as a whole i feel like the look of the show changed when they moved to california... rainy foggy goth canada just fit the vibe so well, much better than constant summer socal idk. the look of the show definitely evolved but i dont remember too much of a change around that time... how would you describe it? i must be missing something

wow this is interesting ive been thinking about film a lot lately. the other day i ran across a box of ektachrome slides i shot years ago, and i gotta say i was shocked at how good the images looked. i havent seen anything quite like that in a long time. it was an eye opening experience so im a huge x files fan, but i think the new season looks like shit what troubles me is that the creative team is full of key people from the past... although technology does play a role, i think the bigger issue at play here is simply bad taste on the other hand, if the new season was shot on negative film, would it look very different after post? im gonna say yes. what do you guys think? after looking at these next to each other i have to say that the juxtaposition of these two images is a perfect metaphor for how i feel about contemporary cinematography in general

woww thank u ebrahim!!! is this referring to the 1080p image via external recording, is that right?

oh absolutely. im just saying that a lot of us (me) would love to have an obsessive level of control over *exactly* what people are seeing online – like what is possible in a theatrical environment – and thats not going to happen any time soon if ever. in that sense if youre just releasing online, creating a happy medium across devices is the best one can do. calibration is super important so you know empirically as much as possible what youre working with, but beyond that if your footage looks too blue on apple devices thats something to consider in your final grade, if that matters to you. to be fair tho, what do i know? *i just really wanted to use that cookie emoji i love cookies

lol i wish. im afraid that no matter what you post on vimeo, youtube, or your own website, people are going to have different experiences on different devices both due to the devices themselves and the settings theyre on

wow this is such a nice civilized thread with tons of relevant information and differing opinions that havent resulted in fighting hi critter!!!! me too well thats key. i think at the end of the day youre going to like the color more in the future from the 1dc, but at the moment the a7sii is definitely the better fit for you, especially since youre already pretty happy with using an a7s, minus the weirdness of its slog2. color is definitely better on the a7sii in that regard i cant speak much to the lowlight on the 1dc, besides all things being equal its very good, but clearly the a7sii is your single best option here~! if i were YOU, a7sii all the way haaaa ? i wish~! im agnostic about a 5d3 update ever happening. will it be higher mp?? lower?? low light?? ? 4k??? video??? two different bodies???? different form factor???? all of the above? idk smh honestly id be thrilled with an amazing 2k image thats thick and deeply gradable* dpaf is sicc tho anyway good luck on your trip and welcome to california!!!! *and a flippy screen

what do you guys think about this

yes it has a touchscreen~! a camera with a touchscreen... what a time to be alive
