Black Magic Update

[FilmMan]

Footage coming soon!  Note that John has been using the BM as a "b" camera with the Alexa by the way.  Color and dynamic range supposedly close.  Low light isn't as close.  I'm very curious to see update footage and I know many are anxiously awaiting too.

[i]So a few things.

Just this weekend I received a more final version of the Blackmagic Cinema Camera.  This version has a huge number of improvements.  For one thing, there’s now no more dead pixels !  They are getting close to finishing the sensor calibration process.  A lot of other features are starting to be enabled as well.

The other exciting thing is that ProRes is now active and I’ve started shooting some ProRes tests.  I have to say, it looks really great.  From a workflow point of view as well, it’s really nice to be able to play right of the SSD some beautiful ProRes 422HQ clips.  They look very nice even ungraded.

There’s also been some more optimisation of the DNG files.  I’m looking forward to trying those out as well.

I’m hopefully going to now be able to show some more footage as I shoot with this version of the camera so stay tuned ![/i]
