The data behind Derek Weston's post.  Like he said, if you're shooting people the 5Ds are fine.  But if you want to extract every last piece of usable DR then Nikons deliver.  If anyone on this forum thinks Nikon full-frame cameras are bad cameras because they stink at video they are very mistaken ;)

Went out to play with the Trump before sending it off for a few weeks. Tom was nice enough to demonstrate balancing these Rocks by the beach. Nice guy and I got to shoot into the sun for a bit.

Shot this a couple of weeks ago at Teufelsberg in Berlin with the tried and trusted 5D MkIII - no RAW. Any thoughts welcome! 
 



I was running and gunning it, although in retrospect I wish I'd brought along a tripod. I've had problems with crushed skies with the CineStyle image profile before but this time I made sure to (mostly) expose for skies and they look much better.

And then there's detail. Videos like this make me wish for the GH4. RAW just isn't an option for me at the moment thanks to the cost of the cards, hard drives, and as I'm a Mac Air user, a new computer.

I'm working with two musicians, Hauptman & Friendly in Berlin. They are composing sound tracks for filmmakers which you can license for your own work and avoid the dreaded Copyright Match on Vimeo.

Pricing will start at just $19.99. The cinematography reel I have edited above showcases some of my cinematography along with the score "Chains" written by Ofer Hauptman.

This is in the early stages... I'd love to hear your feedback about what you'd like to get from EOSHD Filmic Compositions and how you'd want to use it. We won't be going for quantity, but quality.Read the full article here

The best way to learn filmmaking is to watch and observe films, develop a taste, then experiment and eventually arrive at your own techniques. It worked for Quentin Tarantino, and it will work for you.

listening to music through youtube is like eating the best french cuisine from a dumpster.
 
youtube was quite fun 10 years ago,before the ads, the wait till i load crap, the killing of anonimity, blackmailing you to sign up for that google+, keeping histories of what you browsed 
plus the bad sound-image quality lag and sea of trolls trolling trolls.
 
i dont think i have uploaded any videos there, and although i lose clients, i prefer to re-direct them to vimeo.

Does Cuesongs come pretty close to accomplishing that?

chris i dont want to freak you out completely but the komputerbays are a bit of a russian roulette! check them because they fail,
and when i mean fail they dont reach the required speeds or fail alltogether, check the 1 star reviews in amazon
hence the cheap price...if you have money to spare try to get at least one propper 1000x true lexar, since this is a professional gig
 
best of luck

The relationship between record labels and the internet is in a tense state of affairs. On one hand large record companies such as EMI are suing Vimeo for copyright infringement, hence we have Copyright Match. YouTube on the other hand pays a minuscule royalty fee to record labels where uploaded content contains their music.

YouTube plans to launch a new subscription based music service to rival Apple iTunes where content can be downloaded and played on a mobile device with no internet connection. It goes directly head to head with iTunes.

The problem is, smaller record labels feel they are being bullied and the very survival of smaller artists is at stake here...

Jc, your parents look so young.  just kidding. 
 
I could see why they achieved the million plus views.  She's a babe and he's a hunk.  Brad and Angelina better watch out as there is a new Mr. and Mrs. Smith around the corner.  Cheers.

please post results... and your workflow when you are done
i get the heebie-jeebies when the camera freezes with ML...
also make sure to benchmark the Komputerbay cards with ML,as soon as you get them, some of them fail to deliver and you will need to ask for a replacement 
 
as far as i know they are lexars that didnt pass quality control, i own one
good luck!

Just bought 2 x 64GB 1000x Komputerbay cards :) Fingers crossed!

Here is the beast :)
 

hello guys! i was in paros island and i lost the conversation, 
im not attacking anyone im not a tiger :D , i had the hacked GH2 and i found it clinical when put next to my other footage,
clinical meaning more bluish-colder in tones,(like the inside of a hospital.) also some purple/magenta in skin tones,  As i said its my personal opinion as i am a fan of warm earthy colours (this is subjective.)
i noticed on the said clip that the people on the beggining have very whitish skin tones, i dont say that you cant bring the colours in post, was talking about the specific clip and my experience with out of camera footage from lumix..Thats the drawback in lumix, you need to be an excellent colourist, otherwise your footage looks strange.
 
this is something i shot on saturday in paros island at a ceramics workshop by chance.
no color correction straight out of the sensor, handheld unplanned, has 100 mistakes, blurs, but i dont have to worry about the colours that much,
i love using out of camera footage and not spending any time in post, thats just my personal style

 
By the way i read on the ferry "If its purple someone is going to die"  on film colour theory, i think most of you will love it, and every shot a rembrandt  one of the best books on cinematography out there, very interesting stuff in there!
