    IronFilm got a reaction from andy lee in G7 Internal Recording + HDMI out?   
    Ah I see, you used "just" 3 cameras for most shots. That makes much more sense. As I'd struggle to see how it makes sense to use six for most shots!

    IronFilm reacted to andy lee in PANASONIC G7 ATOMOS NINJA ASSASSIN 4K   
    when you are working on a Movie you sign a contract and NDA ! and that contrat says there is an embargo on anything going out without premission from the film company - they own everything they paid for it including all my tests - now we live in a world of Facebook and twitter film companies dont want any leaks beore their marketing department decides what people can see and when .
    So yes I can tell you the results of all my tests right now - just take my word the G7 kicks ass , with a Metabones XL - Nikon Glass and Atomos Ninja Assassin all rigged up on my Gini Rigs cages it s a serious film making tool
     
     
    Now Colour grading is all in my eye - I shoot flat and add the colour in post - alot of my colour is on set I light always with coloured gels and get the look I want in camera - just on a flat profile so I get cleaner blacks with more detail - not crushed out

    We have to remember that every single camera to date always look very "video" on promos. Thats because we are a little minority and the camera companies would never make "filmic" demos. They would loose customers.
    Regarding the film simulatuons I like them. Just like a LUT they are a great starting point. But more accurate to the cameras colors and saves you time in post. After the lift, gamma, gain is set you are already 80% there. LUTs always needs lots of tweaking.

    IronFilm got a reaction from neosushi in C300ii has dropped to $12K   
    My experience with the C300 mk1 (which is similar shape/weight) is I really wouldn't want to use it all day long, unless I had to, even my F3 is better suited to rig up for this, and an FS5 would be far far nicer than either.

    IronFilm got a reaction from Michael Coffee in Aten VanCryst VE809: ultra affordable HDMI wireless?!   
    Just got an email from my local major chain of computer stores about this interesting looking device (is going to be going on sale for only NZ$309+gst, or about US$200ish):

    Is meant to do 1080 at up to 30m! 


    Can be DC powered (and even USB powered perhaps?).

    I hold the unpopular opinion on this forum that the c100 II is not worth it. It's £3000+ for a camera that has no better dynamic range than a Panasonic or Nikon (trust me I tried really hard to find a difference). Really does not grade well at all (loads of compression artefacts when you push/pull exposure/shadows). The LCD and viewfinder have poor resolution and colour reproduction. Weird control system (v easy to change shutter speed, iso, aperture and WB but things like Zebras and peaking are a button on the side of the camera which you have to look for to press).
    You should consider a Canon 1DC. Also that new Fuji XT2 is lookin good, although I don't know how good/bad the rolling shutter is. Also a Panasonic G7. I am going to release a LUT at some point that changes the colours to be more like that of a Canon/nikon.

    IronFilm reacted to Mattias Burling in NO!!! Digital Bolex has stopped making cameras!   
    The D16 isn't retro, the A7, X-T2, GH4 etc are. They look like old film SLRs. The D16 looks like a Cinema Camera

    Any who, its all just a shame. Ive seen it happen with other cameras as well. People get hung up on some pseudo thing and it doesn't catch wind.
    The BMCC and BMPCC did as well.
    Before the "Fire sale" they where the most hated and talked down cameras on the internet. Totally trashed by reviewers because of their "odd shape" (non retro/DSLR). "Where is the viewfinder", "No stills", "NO bla bla bla".
    Then the price drop and people actually used them, the rest is history.

    I just hope we get another cinema camera that is as complete and low cost in the future. Sony, Blackmagic, Red, etc have all failed so far. They can deliver cameras with a good image and some cool features. But not all at once.

    Luckily time and technology moves on so there will be plenty of cameras to love and hate in the future

    I just bought a Sony F3 and absolutely love the look. I wanted something that would put a bit thicker image than the C100ii. At work I use the C300ii, which is also outside of my budget. The F3 gives me really nice color and a really clean image. You can't get the crazy sharp 4k look that the C300ii can get, but the color is definitely there. It has a nice feel. You can get one used for 1500, throw a recorder in with the package it's only 2k. The size sucks, battery life is great, internal NDs, XLR audio. 
    C100ii just dropped to 4k, I would imagine used they are around 3500? That's getting to be a pretty nice deal. If you're tired of the 5D, you may want to go for the 1DC. If you need XLR audio, maybe go for the C100.

    IronFilm got a reaction from Amro Othman in I have $6k. Need a camera this week. Help me decide.   
    This. Slow motion is so critical for music videos and many docs.
    Plus having 4K is handy, useful future proofing too.
    Electronic variable ND filter can be a killer feature for run and gun docs.
    I'd get the Sony FS5.
    Plus Sony 18-105mm f4 + Sony 35mm f1.8 OS + Sony 50mm f1.8 OS + Sony 70-200mm f2.8 (or the f4 version if you want to save money and/or weight) + Tokina 11-20mm f2.8 (in Nikon F mount).

    It basically makes the battery grip essential for video shooting, so we should just perceive it as one item and add to the price accordingly.
