timpy Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 This is my grade of the first 144 frames just released on their website. Password: d16 [media]https://vimeo.com/72224018[/media] Yeah, that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurtinMinorKey Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Yeah, that's it. Lol, that's what I was thinking. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peederj Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I think Digital Bolex is doing everything right, they are sold as advertised, it's not so much about making films as being cool in the way you pretend to make films in front of your friends. If there were a half dozen people demanding everyone scream their praises on every online forum and a full court press to work up a frenzy over it it would not be cool. It's just some quirky oddity like steampunk gear and handlebar mustaches. For people who can afford to do things in style, like Leica wearers.

cschmeer Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Takes me back to when I was considering pledging for a Digital Bolex on Kickstarter: Q: "How sure is it that the camera will come out (I am not asking if it comes out by August necessarily, but that it comes out at all?)" A: "I fully understand your dilemma, we are 100% dedicated to this project and our backers. I assure you that if we thought there was a chance the cameras would not be delivered we; Elle, Stelio, Ienso, Bolex International, and myself, would not associate our names and reputation to the project. There is always a chance that an overwhelming disaster happens that somehow makes it not possible, but short of a major natural disaster, I give you my personal word you will get your camera." I'm so glad I didn't end up going for it and pre-ordered a Blackmagic Cinema Camera a few months later instead ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosvus Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 The footage looks quite nice but after a couple of years, only producing a few frames isn't very impressive. WHEN is it coming out? I think they also missed the train in terms of pricing. It was a good deal if it had come out when it was supposed to. Now they will be fighting BMD cameras, Canon Raw hack cameras and God knows which 4K cameras will come out over the next couple of years from anything from cell phone manufacturers to other small outfits. (Not saying a 4K cell phone is very interesting, but it shows how much chipsets have come down in price...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peederj Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Why the hell are they wasting time re-silvering mirrors or whatever this woman is doing and not finishing the g.d. cameras? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I don't get it ... why is she destroying a perfectly good mirror?! Is it to make art? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I get it now! Is it like the old mirror is like the old Bolex? And what she is doing to the mirror is like what they have done to the Bolex!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
