I'm interested in seeing what happens with the flexible OLED screens.

Avatar sequels are shooting the VENICE as well.

You things have gone south when you have to explain your jokes, and make a video on why they're funny. ?

It’s not the end of the world, and James Gunn will be fine, as well as the cast. They’re wealthy enough to never have to work again. However, I feel audiences suffer with this shit. It’s going to get to the point where financers are not going to risk putting money into a potential ticking time bomb, or studios will water down everything to appeal (and not offend) to EVERYONE.

This was total bullshit.
EDIT: James Gunn's firing was total bullshit.

SmallHD 501, SmallHD 501, or SmallHD 501.
Plus the swivel pan/tilt mount.

FS5ii is an interesting camera. The new Venice color science looks really good in an HDR or REC709 container. Pair it with an Atomos recorder and get ProRes Raw. I'm planning on trying it out with an EF-E SpeedBooster and some full frame primes.

DC Camera already has the Atlas Orion anamorphics to rent for $150/day.

Ron Sim is a good dude. I have 3 Leica R’s that he modded for me, and he’s always been on top of quality control. I haven’t tried the NDs but I’m guessing if he puts his name on it they’re top quality.

Exciting

One analogy I thought about:
If you're a live music audio engineer, it would be like a client asking if you're recording in stereo.
Stereo is almost a given, but it isn't the gold standard of audio quality.

96khz sample rate recording
I thought about this too. Although it's almost impossible to hear the difference in 96 and 48. 4K does improve image quality if you're looking for pure detail at close range.
1 minute ago, Dimitris Stasinos said:There where numerous debates in the late 90s about bit depth & sampling frequency in audio. The majority of professional audio engineers today will agree that a 24 bit, 96 khz audio recording is more than enough for music, except sound design applications where you may want to slow down the recording. With a proper parallelism, a musician will get this. A 1080p video will be totally "fine" for every web application just as 16 bit/44khz will be more than enough for an audio track that will end up in Spotify or Soundcloud in a shitty audio codec.
But if your client/musician are one of those guys that consider analog equipment as superior due to it's "warmer" sound, or he is trying to justify a 10000 $ investment in a single rack audio unit which magically adds wonderful harmonics on a poorly mastered track, then don't try to explain anything. Just shoot in 4K and make him happy :).
I'm going to shoot 4K anyway, but I'm trying to create a quick comparison when people are under the assumption that image quality is quantified ONLY in MP's. HD is good. 4K is amazing. 8K is best! I tell them about dynamic range, sensor size, grain structure, but it's such a long boring conversation.

I've been trying to explain to musicians that keep coming at me with "4K camera" is required, or "I know a friend who has a 4K drone we could use" of how tiny 4K actually plays into an overall image. It's definitely a marketing strategy that's taken ahold of consumers.
What would be a good analogy in music terms. Not just consumer end, but producing, recording, buying instruments....?

Hell yeah!

If the Ursa was full frame I would for sure. Not too interested in more K’s.

What PL adapter did you use? Did the rental house list the anamorphic lenses per piece or by set. As all rental houses over here only list them as a set. But I would be happy with just one if the price goes down 3times. Would love to hook one of these babies to my UMP.
I used Metabones PL to MFT. Where do you live? I can give you some good references for rental houses that ship individual anamorphics. It’s pretty much the same situation in Chicago where they want you to rent the set.

@AaronChicago Wow that looked killer! Tripod, monopod, gimbal or handheld? Also that shot where the actress is walking were you following her in a car window? Looks really cinematic to my eye- great job!
Tripod mostly. I used handheld on a sandbag out of a car window for the following shot.
15 hours ago, mercer said:Very cool idea. I like how you followed her smoke to introduce the other character.
My only critique would be to slow the pan up to sell the transition of time.
Thanks man. Actually I wasn't implying a transition of time. I wanted to make it hyper-dubious. She just shows up out of nowhere with no warning!

I recently shot a very short film in Chinatown (Chicago). I decided to use the GH5s for discreet purposes. All natural lighting. Zeiss 50mm Master Anamorphic. 3200 ISO VLog L.

If you have $99 to spare I highly suggest watching Ron Howard's Masterclass. He has a few dedicated sections on blocking. It's invaluable if you ask me.

I love the Rayzr 7. I mostly use that with the Aputure 300d and 4 Quasar Science bulbs to light almost anything, with bleached muslin and ultra bounces.
