the concept of a world where you can deliver amazing image quality on netflix is blowing my mind  :blink:

as the raw files are grinding my 2012 iMac into the ground

sorry to hear that friend~! ugh i wouldve thought a 2012 imac would be ok with this workflow? dunno which model you have...

i was thinking about a new high spec 27" imac is that a bad idea for this kind of workflow? :/

I just started using Capture One. It is most definitely tha shit.

may i please ask what you guys like about capture one so much specifically? im not familiar with it but i read a bit about it and id love to know why its a preference for you! its new to me

and lastly: wait so is the moire and aliasing going to be a deal breaker on bmpcc raw or what

do you mean in terms of raw video specifically? 

aww ily max <3

anytime youre in socal beers on me no joke  B) (im proud to say that san diego is one of the beer capitals of the world)

also: @germy1979 - lmao

pfft calm down guys just having a little fun

yeah

everything ive done to these files looks amazingly good

the grain in amazingly filmic

with zero sharpening in acr the point of focus certainly has enough clarity for me rn

and then, sharpening it, bit by bit...the reaction seems amazing to me, how well it sharpens in acr without falling apart

im delightfully surprised

i KNEW the prores was way off of what this lil guy was capable of :)

that being said bm needs a new pr guy

>EDIT: 

OH. AND?

THANK YOU ANDREW FOR POSTING THESE LOVELY IMAGES

IMAGES THAT REFLECT WHAT I MIGHT ACTUALLY DO WITH THIS CAMERA, NOT SOME HIDEOUS MONKEYSHIT

I HAVE A GOOD IMAGINATION BUT YEAH

YOUR LITTLE AESTHETIC GESTURE HERE IS NOT LOST ON ME

UHM HELLO FRIENDS

so ive had a few beers but THIS IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM THE PRORES???

AMIRITE???

uhm yeah unless im freaking lost u can massage these dngs pretty good

this is seriously not a rhetorical post i was reading an article about rec 2020 last night that literally talked about imaginary colors i was like f this im going to sleep im losing my mind here

but pretty sure i kno how acr works tho and im impressed :)

what do you guys think?? how does this compare specifically to the bmpcc prores

im pretty stoked on the gh4

is the 1080p gonna be rad or what? sounds good on paper right

definitely NOT buying a 5d3 til we hear about this thing  B)

helllll yeeah if you guys come across test videos/samples please post :)

I know it is not raw, but have you looked into a 2nd hand Sony F3? I've seen some amazingly cheap prices, kits for $5k or so.... couple it with a BM recorder and you are shooting 10bit S-log at 13 stops DR with alot of nice video features and quality audio.

dude! EXACTLY. an actual video camera––a freaking great one

:o

::sigh:: idek

also, @maxotics - very interesting

maxotics this is exactly the shit that im talking about, the insight im looking for

and i commend your effort with the EOS-M, seriously

may i ask: how are you so smart about this stuff??? rocket scientist???? :o

at the end of the day, although of course the 5d3 shoots great stills, and i have a need for that, im ONLY looking at it as a video camera because i am soooooo subjectively in love with that image, both because i think it looks amazing and because i have a history of shooting canon slr raw stills... and thats just what it looks like. so the color science is very familiar to me in that respect

but yeah, blackmagic would be soooooo much easier to deal with!!!! ugh. thats why all this is driving me crazy

like i feel like shooting an indie feature with this "hack" is a little insane because (thank God) there ARE other options today that are affordable?? for great cinematic video??

and?? it fucking scares me that something wont work on the set and ill just be like "Well citizenkaden thats what you get for using this hack bullshit on a freaking movie you moron"

i just wish i could count on ml raw becoming stable smh :(

Sandrapank I feel like we're getting along great so far

top 5 things about me:

• hella sick
• totally cool
• very v handsome??
• ????
• do u like weed tho

Hello Sandrapank!

What a great addition to this forum!

Thank you so much for the feedback guys, that's what I was hoping to hear~! lol

The heart wants what the heart wants –– and my heart wants a 5d3 to f**k around with for the next year or so while I figure other things out for my lil production

I'm sold on image quality, moreover I'm in love with it.

What pitfalls are there that I need to be aware of? It's ultimate goal is being used in my lil low budg feature... which is in terms of production a bit like My Dinner with Andre meets Trainspotting

One thing, have you though about audio? I know they are making some strides on that side of things, but it might never sync perfectly

Hmmm that's something to be aware of, thank you ScreensPro

dont rlly know what I'm dealing with there, I'll have to do some googling

What's going to happen in the future for Magic Lantern raw video, specifically on the 5d Mark III?

Where will that project be in a year, two years?

I'm in a position where I'd love to invest in a 5d3 and accompanying lens system if I felt that I could reasonably predict where the Magic Lantern team is going

Undoubtedly the firmware will improve by leaps and bounds

As a film maker working on my first feature which will not be shot for, let's say, several years, I just wish I could say I might have an idea of where the future could lead––regarding ease of use and speed in workflow primarily. I'm already thrilled with the image: that's why I'm interested

May I please ask for your subjective speculation?

To put a fine point on it: is it completely insane to invest in that camera system anytime soon given the rapid changes in the market, assuming that one wants it as a learning tool in the present, in order to do much more serious work years from now? Please consider that shooting stills is an ongoing need

Is there any reasonable chance that the ML team will abandon further development of raw video features in the near future?

I would love to hear your input. Thank you in advance you guys r v smart

personally i like the 16x9 ratio for what it was supposed to be... a letterbox/pillarbox compromise that works for delivering tv

also, empirically speaking, i think its a nifty rectangle to design in, when its horizontal

but as Ben mentioned, for better or for worse, a LOT of phones/tablets/mobile devices have adopted that 16x9 ratio, and I expect that trend to continue

what does that mean for us as film makers? idk

i watched the dark knight rises on blu ray with a friend of mine the other day and i succeeded in keeping my mouth shut the whole time. when it was over i asked her if she noticed the aspect ratio changing during the film and her response was "no"

so theres that too 

Idk about lenses but I like your username Mr. Pumpkin welcome

Care to name a few? I take it they won't have read much Barthes?

 

"The final suggestion, the final statement, has to be not a deliberate statement but a helpless statement." - Jasper Johns

tbh no not really, I dont think we're on the same page here. All good friend :)

I believe that a person is a filmmaker, a painter, a sculptor, etc, etc, and that whether what they make is deemed to be 'art' or not has very little to do with THEM defining it as such

hmmm well literally ever single one of my favorite 20th century artists would disagree vehemently with that statement; moreover most of them would echo the assertion that art is defined by the artist's intention

then again, this is a distinction between a fine art discourse and another kind of discussion

I find it hard to take art films seriously these days though, unless they refuse to take themselves seriously that is ;)

You know what you would love? Watching the entire Cremaster Cycle*

I'm much more of that mindset too now - though self-reflexive irony can be just as dull. There are a handful of "serious" art films that are brilliant though - La Jete included.

 

Fun Brighton film - and yes it's the soundtrack that makes it!  :)

I assume that discussion on this forum excludes "films" and "videos" which exist within a fine art discourse––but I have a fine art background and I find all that very interesting~! Apparently you do too Dr. Smith. Do you have a fine art practice?

The feature film I'm making functions both as a fine art piece and as a commercial film product––it's both.

But yeah Andy Warhol's Sleep wasn't meant to entertain, quite the opposite lol. That's not what I'm making.

*I am joking u would want to kill yourself do not watch 

I'm curious as to how many on this board actually put together narrative pieces. I don't see much in the screening room. Anyone here do anything other than weddings and event coverage? 

im working on my first feature

^ that is true

guys,

is it fair to say that a desqueezed anamorphic image effectively widens the angle of view of a lens without being distortive in the way that wider lenses typically are?

like a 50mm lens still looks like a 50mm lens...but... theres more of it

know what im sayin?? im new to this trynna understand whats goin on here

how do you describe this phenomenon. you guys must know what i mean

edit: yeah im hella confused

interesting

Imperfections can be beautiful but they have to be the right sort.

 

All this digital puke isn't the right kind of imperfection. Well in very rare circumstances it does have a use.... 28 Days Later was shot on DV and the graininess, hard clipping, etc. added to the mood. However, going back and watching that film again I am shocked at how anaesthetically pleasing it is, despite being incredibly well directed and DP'ed

a great contrast to the walking dead which in my view is a production pretty well served by that 16mm film grain

sure beats that digital puke huh
