  1. Remember it ? All the usual caveats of "absolutely not its final form" but thought I'd show a (very) rough glimpse of its (very) rough format. Things have been quiet on it publicly because as I said in the very original thread that what was first shown was merely a jumping off point and it pivoted into what is now a very different product. As you should now be able to guess from this image, it is doing something a little different and offers both AF-S and AF-C modes for, lets just say, more than one focus target The purpose of this thread, aside from the update to prove its not slid into Sony A7S-III territory, is to provide little updates on what is happening as we edge towards release of the actual product particularly as the previous thread is a bit defunct in terms of what its final form will now be. I'll put up some video samples soon, although @Andrew Reid has had some over the past month so should be able to vouch for it actually working I won't be getting too much into the detail about whats going on under the hood until later on and I will be doing a blog post with Andrew to provide more insight nearer the time of pre-orders which should be in August. FYI, the cables you can see are powering the PBC and not going to the camera so no camera mod is required ! So, for now, fire away if you have any questions if you have any interest in it but if you can please just keep it to general operational stuff.

  2. Yeah, just rewatched Ozu's Tokyo Story this weekend - with the exception of one single travelling shot, it's all static tripod shots, using a single 50mm lens!

  3. There is a lot of unmotivated 'convinience' camera work out there today. I am making a 3 legged stand Tarkovsky would not use IBIS for a static shot Kubrick would not dump his Steadicam operator for a gimbal and drone. Some of the gimbal stuff is even worse than IBIS. Movement for the sake of it. No purpose. Tacky. Lazy.

  4. I agree that you'll probably be just fine recording in full HD. You will save time and space when you're editing. 👍

    Of course you can get a cinematic image from a 1" sensor - just take the first-generation Blackmagic Pocket and the Digital Bolex. (Let alone analog Super 16mm cinematography which uses the same frame size as the sensor size of 1".)

  9. Please keep us updated on developments. Would love to know how diversifying goes, and the whole stock footage landscape evolves in general. And best wishes to you and others who are affected by the changes.

  10. Actually i saw a lot of unexpected movements on a FB contributor page with over 18.000 members. Many of them have already disabled their portfolios on Shutterstock and are gathering online signs against Shutterstock’s decision. Of course i am not that naive to believe that actions like these will make any difference but these are healthy reactions of people who are loosing a big chunk of their income. I didn’t created this thread to start a rally against SS here (although i strongly disagree with their decision) but just to let you know that almost 500.000 active contributors took a big hit today. I am personally building my portfolio on 3 agencies: SS, Pond5 and Adobe Stock, so I will stop uploading new stuff to SS from today but as i said, stock footage is more of a hobby for me. Anyway, this is not about SS only. There are some dangerous corporate consolidation trends crawling around these days and after the pandemic. Of course these are justified to a certain degree but it’s always painful to see the most fragile social groups (and especially artists) absorbing all the shocks of an industry which they obviously can’t control on their own.

  11. It is unlikely that simply rallying against them is going to change anything. Companies are in it to make as much money as they can. Certainly, if ENOUGH stock shooters start to pull their content from Shutterstock, then it MIGHT make them re-consider, but I don't know how likely that is. As you said, moving a lot of stock footage is quite an endeavor. So the question is, what are YOU going to do about it? Is it possible you can start moving your best selling footage to other platforms first, and then migrate the rest of the footage over as time allows?

  14. Definitely second @tupp suggestion that shooting in 1080p might be more than sufficient for your needs. I would kindly suggest you reexamine whether you truly need to shoot in 4K. If you do shoot in 4K, here is a brief explanation on how to create 720p proxies, which will be much easier to edit with. Then when you render (or export or deliver or whatever your editor calls it), you exchange the proxies with the 4K versions.

  15. Their website is from 2014, and their webshop is dysfunctional - so I'd expect them to be old tech... Quality of LED lights (particularly color rendition) has dramatically improved in the last couple of years, so I wouldn't buy an old light.

  16. I would rather have IBIS built in and choose to use a tripod than lack IBIS and be forced to use a tripod. It’s a matter of choosing not to be lazy.

    Fuji X-T4

    I know Andrew doesn’t want the forum to turn in to another way to browse YouTube content but here is a fairly throughly video that shows some problems with X-T4 IBIS. Hopefully it’s fixable in firmware. There is a lot to like about the Fuji system. I’ll personally wait for a future XH1 style camera before I would consider investing, especially if it’s video focused. If they want it to stand apart from the XT series that would be a great way to do it. Make it a mini mirrorless documentary camera with video bells and whistles and Fuji colors.

  20. Thanks! @FranciscoB how can I tell if the a7iii can create proxies? @tupp: -Keynote is a cute app and I find it helpful - not sure I can change video export settings but will check! -I probably will stick with Mac for ease of use etc. as my free time spent for work doesn't motivated me to learn/work with linux and creating my own machines. Granted this may be the most efficient i'm seeking most efficient with Apple's products available to me. -I appreciate your feedback but education has changed and my individual desire to provide more engaging content to my students doesn't represent anything other than attempting to be a part of a small group of teachers who use technology to reach our students. Chalkboards exist, I like them. Whiteboards exist, I like them better. Smartboards exist, I like them even better. -My 2015 macbook pro is not a T2 chip device

  21. Well, it's Leica. They probably won't feel like they need to answer anything. I've not had good experiences with Leica over the years nor have a number of photogs that I know. Quality control has been... lacking to say the least with many of their lenses I've gotten, to the point that I just don't bother with them anymore. Zeiss has some of the best lenses for less money and some of the best QC of anyone. They also aren't arrogant when you tell them there's a problem. Leica does make some of the finest lenses out there (if you get a good one) - like the Summicron 50/2 ASPH and their Leica S lenses are some of the finest lenses ever made, but boy... the QC issues and just overall flaws in some of their stuff are unacceptable at these price points. And it's been that way for a long time (Leica M8/M9 sensor corrosion, bottom plates cracking off on M9's, the list goes on). It's a shame because the SL2 is a DAMN nice looking camera and feels wonderful in the hand. Haven't used it more than an hour but it was a pleasure to use (didn't do any video).

    You are aware that there's a considerable size difference between these cameras??

  23. It'll be good to know if the 1D X III stands up, because it'll inform the decision on the R5... So I have a 1D X Mark III on the way to test. Also having a big clear out. I think the SL2 may have to go if they can't fix it. £5300 is a lot for something that doesn't work properly. I have way too many cameras and time to get rid of the older ones that have fallen out of relevance and see what the Canon has to offer. My concern is that RAW file sizes in 8K are going to be a complete joke. I am concerned about rolling shutter. I am a bit hesitant over the low light performance too. The 4K/120p and IBIS are big attractions, but the 1D X III 4K/60p is a full pixel readout. The 120fps will be binned. And I have realised IBIS makes me a lazy shooter and I don't like the floaty look. I am going back to tripod work. The big dilemma is whether the GFX 100 justifies itself with the 1D X III around.

  24. Most cine camera are still EF or PL, beside there are no affordable and relatively compact cine primes made for super 35 on the market in those mounts. Yes there is Rokinon for EF but the built quality is terrible. ( the barrels get loose and you cant tighten them up because they are plastic.) Still lenses have terrible throw in the 24mm and wider focals, and are usually 2.8 I quite interested by a set that finally have a relatively fast and affordable 18mm .

  25. There are two main perspectives here: Production Sound Mixer: 32bit is pointless, and non-standard. Heck, there isn't even a single professional field recorder in existence that does 32bit!! Not one. Needless it say it is not desperately needed by a PSM. One man band videographer who does everything himself, including even audio post: Their attentions are being pulled a million different ways during a shoot, as they're trying to do too much, and thus mistakes might be made. And they don't need to worry about surprises in the post workflow, as they're handling this all themselves. Have you done the latest firmware update for the F4? For its hybrid digital limiters. (btw, note that almost everything on set is wireless.... so often by the time you hit the recorder, the limiters there are too late as the damage is already done) In my opinion (note: this is from the perspective of a PSM): It is a big step back to go from an F4 to a MixPre6mk1. Just some of the negatives: No dual media recording No safety track recording. Two less channels than a F4 if using TC Inferior powering options Ergonomics/design is a step back An alternative opinion, if you're a OMB videographer: The MixPre3/6 is a very compact form factor for mounting under a mirrorless camera, and worth the so called "upgrade" just for that alone.

  26. I will rant a bit, sorry! I miss when clients knew they didn't know anything and they told me: "Do your job". And they payed 5x what it is payed now. Now in this world of influencers-wannabes everybody has opinions, no idea what is needed to do what they want and ridicule budgets. Dream of escaping up, becoming a great documentary filmmaker!

  28. Take a look here! https://www.eoshd.com/comments/forum/25-samsung-nx1-nx500-hack/ I recommend the 160 / 180Mbit mod As the NX1 records H.265, this is equivalent to H.264 4K quality at 360Mbit! I also recommend the EOSHD setup guide and LOG workflow. https://www.eoshd.com/samsung-nx1-video-settings-guide-tutorial/ As for accessories, look to see if you can get Luca's NX-L speed booster for the full frame look with Canon EF lenses. And the Samsung battery grip is pretty nice too. This camera really does hold up well today, apart from ISO 6400+ or the rolling shutter. Just keep the ISO below 3200 and use a fast lens in low light. Avoid very quick action pans! I wish Samsung would return to the market. Biggest loss of the past 10 years. PS - if you have trouble with the H.265 files try converting to ProRes with EditReady or using Blackmagic Resolve 16

  30. I doesn’t work this way. We are talking about 5.000 gigabytes of footage that have to be uploaded and pass the curation process. And you are wondering why this would take months? I can see your point of view. But these are the same words that they are using to justify their actions. The truth is that the stock footage industry saw a significant growth during the pandemic and while other stock footage agencies like Dreamstime decided to help the community by increasing their royalties with 10%, Shutterstock saw a chance to make more money and attract new investors. Of course this is their service and they make their own rules. This is true for all companies after all. But If we where all so cynical to accept this as a justification for any injustice against working people then i guess we would have more serious issues to deal with.

    RED Komodo

    The RED helium does seem to be on par with the Alexa from tests I've seen. Like it has been said more in the shadows less in the highlights. I've been unclear on this. The RED raw is 16 bit linear. While the Alexa is taking the 16 bit color information and mapping it into 12 bit 444 log or Arri Raw Log. When you open it up in resolve it maps it as 16 bit linear. From what I understand 12 bit log is equal to 16 bit linear. The Blackmagic URSA or actually all of the BM cameras with a Fairchild sensor do the same thing(other than the Pocket 4k/6k which have a sony sensor).

    RED Komodo

    One user tested via the same method that Cinema5D does, and gave the Monstro a score of 13.4. Interestingly enough the Alexa got a similar result, but as we all know its the quality of the pixels that matter. Anyway, Monstro at 13.4...Komodo at what...13? S1H has a result of 12.7 so this will be interesting. I am assure red will be able to squeeze out more due to Redcode and their patents.

    Fuji released an app that allows to use X-T4 (along with X-H1, X-Pro2, X-Pro3, X-T2, X-T3, GFX100, GFX 50S, GFX 50R) as a webcam with a simple USB cable. No HDMI Cam Link needed. Nice! https://fujifilm-x.com/en-us/support/download/software/x-webcam/
