    FX for cheap?

    From YT page: The Eagle from Space 1999. I model the Eagle in Cinema 4D. Used After Effects to render out the footage add the colour correction and mask layers.. Then into Sony Vegas to add the sounds. The whole thing took around 15 hours to render out. Interesting comment from another user: Mark, I'm a sixty-year old Hollywood cameraman who has worked on many visual effects over the years, always using miniatures, long before CG became the tool of choice. In most cases these days the CG results are far superior and more convincing than any we did at the time. Often a mixture of miniatures and CG effects makes the best results, in my opinion, depending on the artistry of the people involved. This shot of the Eagle take-off just blows my mind! No actual miniature was used? Really? You created and flew it using CG software alone? Amazing. Just awe inspiring. The fact that the model was not over-lighted but properly dark and shadowy was so convincing. It looks just as a ship would look under those cloudy skies. Great work. Am I safe in assuming you are working in the movie industry? If not, you certainly should be. All My Best, Raving Dave READ MORE HERE
  2. You have here a full thread specifically on topic:
  3. Now imagine this thing mounted on Mavic Mini... Blur it and will fit ; -)
  4. 4K60p 100Mbps... in German, so use translator tool on YT: I'd also love to see such smaller 1,100mAh battery giving extra 50 grams room only to couple a Osmo Pocket (116 grams) there in the end which would bring 4K60p @ 100Mbps to a bird with just about 300 grams (!) allowing a payload perfectly at its flight range, I guess:
  5. Some notice, others don't. Last technology is not that much prone to the issue as often as before at least. I have my TK800 for almost one year now, never occurred with me or any of other people in my family, friends and colleagues... Hope this helps to gather confidence! Don't trade realistic approach for pessimism please... connect yourself! LOL : -)
  6. As far as Optoma's (UST version) concerns, this review is worthy of an attentive reading: https://www.passionhomecinema.fr/blog/index.php/08/10/2019/test-optoma-uhz65ust-lavis-de-gregory/
  7. From these YT videos, new Xiaomi's 4K introduction seems a promising product but we're actually speaking about a different thing based on 0.47" chip: As well based on the following reports: https://www.awaqa.com/xiaomi-wemax-a300-review/ (scroll down to English version:) https://www.passionhomecinema.fr/blog/index.php/01/11/2019/test-wemax-a300-4k-lavis-de-gregory/ https://www.passionhomecinema.fr/blog/index.php/10/11/2019/test-xiaomi-wemax-a300-l1688fcf-4k-second-round-lavis-de-gregory/ https://www.avsforum.com/forum/68-digital-projectors-under-3-000-usd-msrp/3077802-xiaomi-wemax-a300-l1668fcf-4k-9000-lumens-ust.html Last but not least, Optoma with their own offer too (named CinemaX P1 for US market) : Here's some interesting info on topic: https://www.avsforum.com/forum/68-digital-projectors-under-3-000-usd-msrp/2990940-0-47-vs-0-66-dlp-chip-uhd51a-vsuhd65-i-m-not-original-author-post.html
  8. Yes, as said and here is a comparison test with another one of same range: There's also this one by DELL: Here's why I'll be ending to buy the Optoma (not my TK800 model I bought but gives a pretty much the idea of my own recent findings) : Nonetheless, Optoma's Laser Phosphor entry model compares with much higher range -- here are two distinct comparative tests with one year in-between to exactly justify the point: In any way whatsoever, on minute 7:00, faux-K shows up and testifies : ) In any case, proves how inaccurate is to say it is dead, as much as MFT is... LOL : D https://www.projectorreviews.com/the-art-of-home-theater-projectors/faux-k-is-dead-long-live-4k-capable-projectors-of-all-resolutions/
  9. Xiaomi has already one, not at Optoma level though, so far at least:
  10. I dunno... Low ANSI lumens to my taste : ) I bought this one (3000 ANSI lumens looks to me a minimum requirement): https://www.projectorcentral.com/BenQ-TK800.htm I am not unhappy at all but... pixel shifting is definitely cheating the parade. I got the proof today with a 4K sample, even though from h.265 @ low bitrate. I'm eager to pay from native 2.7K instead. Looks like to me more reasonable and the recent Mavic Mini has made me think about... https://www.techradar.com/reviews/optoma-uhz65-4k-laser-projector https://www.techradar.com/reviews/optoma-uhd60-projector EUR2500 + VAT for the Optoma Laser Phosphor (lamp type) https://www.digitalprojection.com/emea/laser-phosphor-vs-lamp-projectors/ https://www.christielaserphosphor.com/media/Laser_Phosphor_Technology_Overview_FAQ.pdf ...or save 1 grand in the initial purchase is the only question? Seems pretty clear to me, it's not the only premise to matter on here:
  11. Here's a 1st contribution post... Rescue of a surfer (father of the children of the Brazilian popular actress Luana Piovani) a couple of days ago in the most dangerous waves of the planet (Nazaré, Portugal).
  12. Bale forgot to grab a jacket for his head, those reviewers up there instead got them all ; -) Another interesting comparison from TVS PRO: These guys have much interesting comparative tests there, I invite everyone to take a look on their YT channel. They are even known for their upgraded factory settings such as their Theo version: https://www.tvspecialists.com/introducing-theo-z65-lite/ Here's an useful thread on topic: https://www.avsforum.com/forum/24-digital-hi-end-projectors-3-000-usd-msrp/3086184-theo-z65-upgraded-optoma-uhz65-owners-thread.html
  13. Here's also a couple of useful info on topic: https://www.projectorreviews.com/the-art-of-home-theater-projectors/fauxk-vs-4k-projectors-look-true-4k-4k-uhd-1080p-pixel-shifters/ https://www.projectorcentral.com/4k-projectors-defined.htm
  14. To each its own. I feel exactly that about all those complicated menus. A pain in the ass. That simply cuts off all my pleasure to shoot with. Blackmagic has brought me the feeling of a real film camera back. I love their approach to put the shooter in the focus of their camera design, not just another user in the digital age or ENG field. They have made digital cinema cameras instead. I come back from 35mm and 16mm realm. This really counts to me : ) IQ wise I practically am able to reproduce anything I want. Secondary today IMO : -)
  15. No other lens mount system gives you that for such affordable peanuts price ; -)
