Yeah totally. Films shot on actual film can be cross-processed or have a tonne of other old school processes applied to them to get the look the filmmaker wants to tell their story, digital just gives us even more options to work with. 'The Road' would just look wrong over-saturated like 'City of God' and vice versa. A film can have a bunch of different looks in it to suit the narrative. The beauty of raw is it makes it a whole lot easier.

Who made you the "filmic" police? I like it. Filmic is anything that doesn't resemble video. @kidzrevil's work is some of the most filmic Magic Lantern stuff I've seen, and has me thinking I need to lift my game colorwise.

I do everything but storyboard. I do plan and compose all my shots however. As the complexity of scenes increases, I might consider storyboarding; I prefer to pre-shoot scenes to figure out where I want the camera.

I would imagine so. They don't have time to fuck around.

It's been years since I worked on a commercial, but the same phones off rule I employ on my films applied there. Phone use was restricted to designated break times, and the director called for "phones off" before we rolled after breaks, that's how I do it. One of the rare exceptions to the rule would be to allow someone with a pregnant partner to check their phone between takes, I''m not an ogre, and I've been there.

As it should be. Anyone who isn't down with that doesn't belong on my set. Nobody has ever complained about or defied my phones off policy, so I must have chosen the right people. And yeah, phones play havoc with sound recording, particularly due to the interference that only we sound guys hear in our headphones. I came to film from a music production background so anything that interferes with sound is particularly annoying to me. I get that freelancers have to check their email regularly for work, but on a professionally run set there's multiple opportunities throughout a shoot day to do that. It's a good idea to explain the phone interference issue to newbies when you ask everybody to turn their phones off to save them the death stares they'll get from the crew when they inevitably ruin a take because they thought it wasn't a cardinal rule.

My policy is all phones off when we're shooting. Phones can easily ruin a take, and if it's a good take there will be blood. Cast and crew can play with their phones during breaks. The only time I might need to use my phone is to calibrate my Ronin-M or get a light reading, but it gets switched off immediately afterwards.

That's why god gave us velcro.

Not yet. Fingers crossed.

Have you checked out MLV App? https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=20025.0 Way cool. Fast too on a 6 core Mac Pro.

I thought maybe Compressor 4.4.1 would transcode CDNG to ProRes Raw, but it's not an option. Oh well, back to Resolve, AE, and proxys it is then.

Early onset dementia?

Hopefully this announcement will force the big boys to put ProRes raw in all their future cameras, and maybe even a few current ones. I'd probably choose a GH5s over this if it shot raw.

I was hoping the sensor/lens mount was going to be a detachable micro with wifi control from the pocket mothership, so there's that.

Cats mostly.

Na. I'm thinking about 1080p raw with my 1.5x Iscorama for my feature, but a Pro Res raw update would make 4k manageable. It's the rolling shutter, color, and weight I need to know about before I jump in. An anamorphic mode would be nice too, especially for a smaller 120fps crop.

The BMPCC4K is too wide for the Ronin M, so my 5D isn't going anywhere.

Looks like it's a 1.9x crop. 1.2x speed boosted. No ProRes raw, yet. Should be doable in a firmware update.

Hopefully far enough that the color doesn't go weird shooting tungsten.

Never let cinematographers into the house.

All I know is I'll be staying away from pocket 4k threads until it ships. I've heard enough people crying about not having cameras they pre-ordered for one lifetime. Although the schadenfreude of the dude announcing he just walked into a shop and bought one before everybody else got their pre-orders is tempting.

So I'm thinking maybe the sensor/lens mount bit is detachable, like a micro with a pocket attachment wifi controller/monitor. Or maybe I just watched too much Thunderbirds.

Congrats, you made a cyberpunk earring. Now if you'll excuse me, I've gotta go sacrifice my first born to the film gods for sparing my 128Gb extreme pro.

Give it a few days just to be on the safe side. The null pointer bug was discovered and fixed within a few days.
