I've heard people before say that they'd prefer to be moving units even if it was without any profit margin at all rather than make profit but have very low throughput. I don't pretend to understand why.. It's usually to free up capital tied up in the stock, generate cash to run the company and pay to manufacture new stock of something that is selling better with higher profit margins. Also retailers may get sales volume-based discounts or bonuses from suppliers which are extra income to them. kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire background is completely blurred and without detail 😂🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shot a 48hfp thing with the K-X this last weekend and I definitely want to have more excuses to shoot with it and get comfortable before my next planned shoot in June. The three of us are a good start. Let's get @mercer enthused to be the first four afficiandos with a great mix of cameras, GX85, F3, both in 8bit goodness plus Komodo Redcode prowess and 5D3 ML glorious 14bit Raw . That should sparkle some further enthusiasm to maybe get someone to film simultaneously with a S5II and S1H each in one hand or to use a Sony EX1 with a 35mm adapter and a nanoflash recorder...:) The latter would be the perfect setup to make camera nerd friends overseas. @IronFilm 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eatstoomuchjam Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 I would never claim to have any sort of Redcode "prowess." With the K-X, just like most of my other cameras, I'm kind of a hack. 😉 kye and IronFilm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've come to realise that almost all of the magic in a final edit gets there by flowing from the people through the tools to the footage. This is why I don't feel creatively limited by my GX85. I'd say that for 50% (or 80% or 95%) of the people on the planet if they were shooting on a GX85 then the limitation on the creativity would still be on the operator and not on the camera. eatstoomuchjam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackmagic Design is still today what RED was not completely able to deliver at least to the wildest expectations, the true indie cinema camera is theirs. RED is nowadays mainstream and a guess, since Nikon has bought the brand. Better than any unknown hands, IMO Jim and Jarred honoured their commitment with this industry. Made a maninstream camera company anyway. And the purchase by Nikon only proves it. Hope Blackmagic will stand at our side though. Reason why I usually tend to buy any great sale signed by them. On the due course, again as of now when I write these lines. I even believe every indie should have no reason to not have one if not a few of their unique offer. Who else? No one else. - EAG :- ) zlfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come up with a single script that we all shoot in our own styles? Seems like there should be something to tie them all together - if not, what is there to make it different from what we'd all normally be shooting anyway?

eatstoomuchjam Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Could also do something in the style of "Our Robocop Remake" where we take a single script (they remade something that existed, we could do something new) and each shoot a scene from it in our own style.

Emanuel Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Even without, this camera has something, go figure with a certain glass setup... Sexy to only use a single word ; ) A perfect match just for the handy subject! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 PS: Juicy texture... LOL ; ) Easy to fall in love : ) But one thing is for sure: light. With an exception though. The way is handled. And colour rendition. Sensor, colour science and codec are part of same pudding ;- ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PannySVHS Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Dunno. Not that exited from a pure image point of view when it comes to web footage. I like the fact of full frame 48p 17 to 9 and Braw. No prores nor h264 is a rather minus. Colour looks like on most Sony and Pana videos, which is fine but not breathtaking. What's the offial BM launch video? The one or few awesome videos, which are selling this camera like hot cakes rather convinient store muffins? The og Bmcc has tons of great and convincing footage not depending on models. I am sure Bmcc 6k can be graded into many directions. The official footage on the blackmagic website looks super. But in the hands of users so far it mostly does not shine brighter than a Pana Sony Dslm. Let's go for it!😊 @eatstoomuchjam Script page is a possible way to get started but might be too much due to scale?:) eatstoomuchjam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In time we will see great footage from this camera but the pros need to be using it for six months to a year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPNS Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I know that this music vid was shot on the 6k FF. It looks good, but it would’ve looked good on most other cameras, because of the talented crew i’m going to go against the grain and say that most of stuff online i’ve seen that was shot on the og (as well as the 4k and 6k) looks like shit tbh PannySVHS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emanuel Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 12 minutes ago, Emanuel said: 10Bit Slog3 | 12Bit Braw | 16Bit RED That's versus 10-bit FX3 & 16-bit Komodo. OP's note now: To me, it's enough. No need for anything else. Really. That's a hell of a capture device! The best bang for the buck in June 2024 with no single doubt. 5x batteries charging as of now BTW...
