I say give it a try since you have the option of shooting in 4K and shooting 4K photo mode be it 4:3 (for anamorphic).  I snag one which was on sale in the US, I wind up getting the German version (dmc-g70), and I like it so far.  It was well worth the money.

Thanks for the clarification.  If I want to record on my EOS-M, I would have to otherwise go on Magic Lantern, which I may, or get a Sony a6000.

Does it have to have a clean HDMI output, or can it work with regular HDMI out of the box?

Nice shots you did there.  I too have a Canon EOS-M, and had tried the ML 2 years ago, and I couldn't for the life of me wrap my head around the process of doing the raw.  I still like the camera though, despite it's cumbersome (IMO) correcting on h.264

I felt the same way too, even on my Dell Inspiron 660s -- now that they support OpenCL 1.2

So far, with the Beta 2, it seems to run smoothly (fingers crossed) on my end, it was slow in some parts, but I did played with editing (not fully) and grading, and a chance to render - even on Intel HD Graphics, 1GB physical memory with OpenCL 1.2, so who knows...

Thanks Julian, for that.  I can't wait.

Quite interesting... even at the $299 price point. 

Question, would it work on a Sankor 16C lens?

p.s.: ...and without the need of a diopter???  That would be a steal

I got mines by email as well.  It's been told it's the alternative to AE.  I tried HF2E when they offered it, and I concur with Andrew, it's really nice.

"Also couldn't find a way to apply a LUT."

Actually, they have starter pack, I think.

Hope that Helps

​Wow, mercer.  I can't wait to see it!

I too been wanting to get the a5100 after having both the Pany GF2 and Canon EOS-M, and heard so much about the XAVS-C codec.  Maybe Sony Vegas would do the trick, Resolve - I don't know either.

As with the previous BMD Resolves, will it rely heavily on hardware and graphic cards use for example NVIDIA, to do editing/color correcting?

Quite interesting.  I just now found out about it throug the NoFilmSchool site via Facebook.  I can only imagine what it's competitors are thinking now (hint: Adobe)...  Kinda wish that Resolve can work on my system.

I voted for your project, awaiting confirmation.

Bonne chance!

Great, can't wait to see what they'll say.

I checked out your short movie and...

Wow, you bring forth inspiration to me. 

I'm a chicken when it comes to being creative, and I too, like to delve in making a movie.  Good settings, camerawork, lighting, sound they truly resemble a short movie, and only YOU and the support you have helped made that.

Be proud of yourself, better yet like others have said, put your work out on sites like Facebook (also, have you ever heard of Nofilmschool?).

Keep up at your craft, and I hope to see/hear more from you.

Lots of great help in this thread. Thanks  :)

 

I wasn't considering Resolve when I bought the Win PC, but remembered it afterwards and thought I'd give it a go. So I didn't check the Resolve hardware specs too carefully.

 

I haven't updated the AMD drivers so I'll do that tomorrow, but it looks like that GPU isn't good for Resolve anyway.

I have often wondered that Resolve takes only NVIDIA CUDAs (how many cores is anybody's guess), but again, I haven't even delved in their system specs.  Yet, they don't even put in the system specs in their Resolve site, but with one their configuration guides, and still I can't put my finger around it.  I managed to get Resolve 11 on my computer system (then the OpenCL reliant/need of hight GPU error popped up), let it work on my C drive, logged in, select my project, locate my clip (in ProRES), and like you, BOOM crashed.  So, I'm at a crossroads of finding a good editor/grading system.  How's Premiere's Color Correcting system -- any good?

I'm trying to upgrade my video graphics card since I'm using Intel HD Graphics and Resolve seems to rebel against it... it's that or it's back to Vegas.

Thanks for the input, andrgl.

So, in order to use h.264 files on a Windows machine, it has to be converted to ProRes?  Is there a tool that can do that (convert or re-incode to ProRes)?

Interesting.  Too bad that they didn't have the sale last year when I bought me a EOS-M (okay guys, go easy on me).  Sadly short on funds here, and just cheking the reviews on the make/model and the workflow of it.

My question is this - is it true that you can shoot 2K with the BMPCC or is it still 1080p?

Here's another wonderfully done no-budget short that hasn't gotten nearly enough views: 

 

I watched it, and was quite impressed by it.  Goes to show you that you don't have to go to film school, or be a big shot just to make a movie - short or otherwise.

It's done by a short filmmaker... Patrick Boivin (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2281464/?ref_=tt_ov_dr)

Cheers!

Wow, I have a Minolta MD 50mm 1.7f lens that a friend gave me with the camera, and had to buy an adapter for my Canon EOS M (the cheaper version mind you), now I find the link that would go with MFT.  Thanks.

While discussing about gear and a storyline -- this comes into mind.

Some scenes shot on an iPhone, and won an Oscar for best documentary.  Proves that you can create a compelling story and convince an audience, regardless of what tools you use.

Just thought I share.

Wow, I hope it can work with the lenses (Panny 14-42mm zoom lens) that I have when I purchased GF2 and since it's a 16MP sensor M43.  I would like to get the body for less.  Interesting.

I'm curious: is this the actual 1.3/1.5x or the 2x anamorphic prototype?  Is this the actual 2.35:1?  It does have the anamorphic feel down pat; not that much of a flare lover (would be best to tone it down a bit), and quite amazed at the oval bokeh.  Interestic concept
