Administrators Andrew Reid Posted January 9, 2017 Administrators Share Posted January 9, 2017 Scorsese said cinema's now officially dead. May as well be a theme park ride. Event a good director can't save the system... Duncan Jones on Warcraft. Peter Jackson on The Hobbit Part 10. Looking to Netflix to save cinema... They have picked up the Blade Runner style sci-fi shot by Bowie's son Duncan Jones, set in Berlin in 2050 called Mute. And more stuff good coming out soon. As for 2016... I am voting 5D Mark IV! jasonmillard81, Alkım Ün and Orangenz 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Kotlos Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I think I saw Ebrahim with a 5DmkIV trying to film Donald, only to realize that Canon tricked him with a disguised 7D from 2009. On the bright side, online streaming is the future and that couldn't be better for independent filmmakers. webrunner5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleison Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hey now, I'm part of the millions of people who voted for trump :-) (no more easy illegal immigration, no more smug millionaire celebrities laughing and smiling while ordinary people are out of jobs, MAGA.. etc.. etc.. what is there not to like???) hahhhahahaha... My "biggest clusterfuck of 2016" is that Casey neistat got a contract for millions of dollars to produce a tv series based on his youtube channel which he built and runs by using an old 70d... An old 70d which is years old technology.. has moire... not even 4k... hell, it might not even really be 1080p.... and he got millions of $$$... while people like me who have much better gear eat ramen and pine for the next great thing (gh5 anyone??.. GH5, you will be mine --when I sale my other kidney!!!! The first kidney was used to buy sony gear :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas is preventing me from becoming successful, rich, and powerful. Basically it's preventing me from ruling the world!!! I hate you Japanese camera conglomerate who always making me want to buy new stuff!!! :-P 12 minutes ago, mechanicalEYE said: I'm pretty sure you just described Trump.

He has enough money to buy drugs and prostitutes to satisfy him for the rest of his life if he wants (while living in the best rooms at his 5 star hotels for free since he owns them). A lot of these other celebrities and politicians - they need the money (their mistresses aren't going to buy themselves gifts).... Oh well, I hate politics. I'll try not to comment on trump again.

In the end I am going to sell them all and get a BMPCC. But first I need...? Seriously though, if you or I can't make a good movie with a 70D, the GH5 isn't going to help us either... in the end, story is king. Character arcs and themes lift stories. With indie, streaming cinema the camera used is such a microscopic part of the equation. Casey Neistat is successful because he is himself in an unapologetic way... and his wife is hot. I admit I enjoy his vlog. I enjoy the way he tells his story. Good for him for the deal. Hope he shoots his new show with a couple 70Ds too. webrunner5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me do a quick search .... huhm... she's not bad lookin... Damn you Japanese camera manufacturer and your multi-million dollar marketing department!!!! Now I know who destroyed my love life. It was you!!!! I could be shacking up with a tall beautiful redhead but instead, I'm watching youtube videos on the pros and cons of 8bit vs 10bit. And whats worse, I'm having debates between myself about this inside my own head ... Get out of my head, yo!!! One of these days, I will press the nuclear button that will return me to what really matters.. the story.... but right now, I just can't. I need help..... I need... I need to go touch my camera equipment... Oooh, my precious... my precious..... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinkscapes Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 The 5D mkIV is hands down the best stills camera I've used. And I've previously worked with the Pentax 645Z. On that basis alone I can't vote for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
