  1. I watched "Bright" pretty much BECAUSE of the negative reviews (and also it is Netflix's most expensive one ever, that alone is worth a watch). Was it one of the top 1% of films last year? No. Maybe not even the top 5%? But no way did it come within a million miles of being within the bottom half of films in 2017. My biggest criticism is I felt perhaps it was trying to do "too much", I felt like there was so much of the world unexplained that it needed to be part of trilogy (like the Lord of The Rings is). But maybe that was Netflix's intention all along....
  2. And then there is the other 10%... who hang out on camera forums such as this
  3. Who says anywhere that he is getting paid for a review???! That is an awfully large leap to jump to.
  4. I've known about them for years, as Nitsan made a whole bunch of videos about them: But every time I tried to look for it, they seemed to only be in the UK :-( Very strange I thought! Wow!
  5. Philip Bloom will be at BSC Expo: https://www.proav.co.uk/news/bsc-expo-come-visit-us/
  6. The Sony F23 is even older than the F35 (not saying the F23 was the first with slog from Sony however, but I think it might be: https://www.provideocoalition.com/the_not_so_technical_guide_to_s_log_and_log_gamma_curves/ Though there is still the question of did other manufacturers do log before Sony?! Maybe Panasonic's first ever Varicam had log?!). There were raw cameras before RED but none made the impact that the RED ONE made. And the RED ONE hit before slog was commonly used.
  7. Are the lower power output ones quieter? Such as the 150W / 100W / 60W ones? I was surprised just how cheap the 150W is, only US$248 with free shipping for the Godox SL-150W: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Godox-SL-150W-150W-5600K-Studio-LED-Continuous-Photo-Video-Light-Lamp-w-Remote/152746611175?hash=item23906851e7:g:Il4AAOSwU4FZ5XMc I guess the big downside vs Aputure 300D is you can't power the Godox via battery power for even a moment.
  8. Meaning an extra unit. Say a person has two wireless, but they know say 10% of the time they'll need three yet don't have the budget for that third one.... then until they can afford a third wireless a Tascam DR10L or Zoom F1 could be a good stop gap measure for them.
  9. Oh nice! So you purchased it? I think you're one of the few on this forum (the only one?!) then who personally owns an Arri Alexa Classic. May I ask what price you got it for? (& what work have you got planned for it)
  10. Where did you guys buy your Pixapro 100D from? As a search on Aliexpress, eBay, and B&H turned up nothing. Seems like they can only be found in the UK?! Which surely is not the case, they must exist elsewhere too, but under a different brand perhaps?
  11. A little off topic for the thread, but I didn't want to bother with messing up the forum with a whole new thread, however if you know German this is worth a read: https://agdok.de/de_DE/kameratest20172 (and perhaps even if you don't!)
  12. It will have a near S35 sensor shooting compress RED raw for $1.6K?! Color me skeptical
  13. A kiwi movie too! :-D I know a few people who worked on it. A recognise lots of scenes from the streets of Wellington as well.
  14. True. I only see a power cable connected to it. Nothing hiding over on the operator side?! How come?
  15. If you're next to broke and can't afford another wireless, but think you might perhaps in a pinch need an extra lav then a DR10L could be good to keep in reserve. I don't. Hasn't arrived yet (well.... it might have! But I haven't been to collect my mail yet :-P ). I plan to just do an unboxing/review then sell it on to my friend at cost price because he wants one.
  16. I guess that means you could run CHDK on them?? Still no ML raw however.
  17. I assume of course you are remember to distinguish between the 4K and 4.6K when looking at reviews/opinions online? As the 4K sensor indeed crazy bad in lowlight, as you're basically stuck with just one ISO Have you considered the 12 Step Program?
  18. Not sure why I even bother wasting with a Vimeo paid account, shouldn't renew it.
  19. Oh hey an Arri Alexa Classic using a Nikon lens! :-D Don't see too many photos of that.
  20. Yup, lots and examples we can look at! The F65's size was a factor in holding it back. The Varicam S35 had the smaller Varicam LT come out. EVA1 & FS5 are teeny tiny. The trend is towards more compact.
  21. Ah cool! Didn't know that. Just had seen them during the 1st season when they were using Arri cameras for it.
