    IronFilm reacted to Raafi Rivero in NAB 2018 - Kinefinity and Atlas Lens Co Orion Anamorphic   
    About half the shots in that are 24p. And nearly every shot in the first 5.5mins (and more than half overall) in my Terra 4k review are regular motion. But you can judge parts of image quality based on a still frame. David Fincher shoots everything in slow-motion, btw, then delivers almost everything in regular speed just so has the option - so there's your utility.
    I agree that the next hurdle is to use the cameras for narrative stuff. Working on something in that arena now. Stay tuned.

    ... Anywayz.... I got to test the Atlas Orion 40mm on the Kinefinity Mavo. (am also the talent in a few shots since it was just a small number of us). Some of the shots are from another test the night before. I like performance of both lens and camera:

    anyway, if you put anything above it be careful not to interfere with the airflow too much 
     
     
    It is more the case that Arri feels they only own ONE really really good sensor which is ready for production (I'm sure they working on others). Thus the easiest way to get true 4K from it is just to scale up the size of the sensor Itself

    IronFilm reacted to BTM_Pix in MixPre 3 Timecode Question   
    If you don't mind a bit of a project.....?
    You can start and stop the MixPre 3 with keyboard commands on its USB port (CTRL+R and CTRL+S) and the arduino boards like the Sparkfun Pro Micro have easy programmable functionality to emulate a keyboard. They can also be used to make LANC controls (with a minimal amount of breadboard action  ).
    So you could make a very simple (and very small) box with a simple push button that would start/stop the C100 over LANC and also simultaneously start/stop the MixPre 3 over USB with the TC being passed via HDMI from the C100 to the Atomos to the MixPre 3. Or even a small HDMI splitter if the Atomos is stripping it.
    The little box would actually be powered by the LANC port of the C100 as well.

    IronFilm got a reaction from salim in Recording Great Audio with cameras like the GH5   
    In my view the Sony UWP-D11 are the "best" right now from all the "no budget wireless" (i.e. not Zaxcom/AudioLtd/Wisycom/Lectrosonics/etc).
     
    But G3/RodeLink are ok enough if you get a screaming good deal on them secondhand. 
    If I was filming with a Panasonic GH5 by myself without a sound recordist, then I'd very seriously be considering a Panasonic DMW-XLR1 
    https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1304877-REG/panasonic_dmw_xlr1_xlr_microphone_adapter.html
     

    Other alternative is getting something like a Tascam DR60Dmk2 or MixPre3 etc to just wear on me while running with the GH5, to then later on sync up. (as for that H4n, just do the world a favor and chuck it in the bin)

    These bloggers have zero journalist skill, they keep asking 10 times the same question, if you are not the first on a news, take your time and try to ask different question or even if you can't record from the camera you have a big 5 inch display that you can zoom in. Take that fucking camera and comment at least what you are seeing. Take for example rolling shutter, I mean it is so easy to pan right left and have at leat an impression about rolling shutter, but until now zero. I don't know if he is an actor or what, it is as if he is chocking, when asking the price at least 3 times, as if the whole world didn't know it two days before.

    IronFilm got a reaction from Kisaha in 2018 - The year of the VDSLRs?   
    I could easily imagine a future  a decade or three down the tracks where AI robots have "stolen our jobs!" 
     
    HOWEVER,  I don't believe the way this would happen is by using an ambisonic mic that then "focuses" in on what is wanted. 

    Rather it would instead by via liberal usage of lavs (and/or plant mics) which then gets agressively cleaned up via super advanced AI like we're already starting to see in the likes of programs such as iZotope RX (together with advanced automixing). Which then ends up producing quite usable dialogue even from sloppily used lavs. 
     

    Saw this posted on FB, worth sharing on this topic:

    Buy it in 2018!! By getting the Rode NT-SF1 instead for a fraction of the cost. 

    Although the support Zoom (and soon in the future MixPre series as well) has for the AMBEO B format means I wonder if the extra cost makes it worth it. 

    Oh hey, there is a secondhand one up for sale:

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sennheiser-AMBEO-VR-MIC-Microphone-3D-AUDIO-capture/183172958311
     

    Ah good, we're on the same page in that regards then. As without that qualifier of it being "decades away" (and heck, who knows what might be happening then... movies as we know it might be dead! Everything tapped straight into our brain stem instead) then a person viewing this thread could easily get the wrong impression that this is relevant to something today. 
     
     

    Even (or especially?) with 360 degree filmmaking you are carefully setting up and thinking about each shot. 

    I worked on a 360VR shoot last month (doing sound for the crew, using an ambisonic mic) and each and every shot was carefully done, is why we did nearly a whole week of filming with full days. 
     

    I think for your needs of run-and-gun with no crew, then you'd be better off chucking a lav on each person then crossing your fingers as you pray and hope for the best, than to use an ambisonic mic (where would you place it?! On top of your camera?!). 
     

    For what delivery medium? For 360VR delivery? Or conventional HD (or 4K) 16:9? (or 2.35 aspect ratio or whatever)

     
    Are you a teeny bit part Canadian?

    Don’t get me worried! I preordered a Hydrogen...
    But, I agree, the worship on those fora is fascinating - I could be wrong but I’ve always assumed that hardcore professional RED users don’t bother with reduser as they'll have direct access to those who count. It’s the aspirational types desperate to impress who lead the kneeling rituals. I still think that a photo of using the Hydrogen running the BM app to control the Pocket 4K will go down a storm on That site...

    I think the extreme hatred/skepticism/negativity towards RED in the early days caused them to close ranks, and those effects still linger in their culture to today.

    I love the reactions on Reduser to bad news like that.
    They welcome Jim's announcements of delays with the same exultation as if he was the bank manager extending the date you have to pay a loan back.
    It always reminds me of that scene in Life Of Brian where Brian screams at everyone "OK, I am the messiah...now f*** off" to which he gets the response "How shall we f*** off Oh Lord?"
