Or Panasonic LA7200, those focus through adapters much easier to film with, but you're not getting the same bokeh that 2X lenses produce

wait a bit, get a BM micro cinema, it has 60fps, when you need slower use twixtor,  shoot raw, well exposed and with OK post, on youtube no one will tell it from Alexa,
very cost effective solution for music videos;
the only thing it is ridiculously small and most of the 'artists' will not take you seriously, so yeah,  shooting on Red adds to your resume you want it or not,
but your demo and your price are the two major decision making factors,
good luck, and post some music videos!

For PL we will offer 1.33x Anamorphot prime lens set for s35 system. We will offer 2x Anamorphot prime lens set for micro four thirds system.

there are some, but not for this price

Take GH4, make it full frame, add 4K 60, name it GH5 -  i'll take three

hey Max,
here are my thoughts, but my thoughts are just my thoughts and nothing more:)
1. Aspect ratio - is an artistic choice, most likely collective, choice of majority of creative team; as of now 285 mill watch that music video and if a few thousands were 'thrown away' by an unusual aspect ratio  of that video who gives a damn. but if you care about that, and you shoot for masses the safest choice would be 16:9 spherical lenses, but this is plain boring and very video-ish. This is sure sounds like a broken record, but the content is a king, always. So, either you know what you doing and unique aspect ratio is a creative choice that helps you to emphasize your vision, or you just want to stand out and be different, aspect ratio is not the major factor of the success or failure of any feature, documentary , or music video.
2. I don's see  big difference between one and two. the only comment i have from my experience is that going from 2x squeeze to 1,5x and further up to 1,33x anamorphic properties become less pronounced, but sure are easier to work with, if that's what you are looking for; Shooting 1,33x on a 16:9 gives you 'instant'  anamorphic ratio without crop; my personal opinion is that 2x squeeze is perfect for anamorphic shooting, either you keep it uncut at 3.55:1 or crop to 2.40:1, but again, this is a creative choice.
3. Slow motion - i personally love it, but, depends on the content, as always; hard to shoot an artistic piece today without it, but it doesn't mean you can't, because you don't have a high frame rate option in your camera. If you really want to add slow motion to your project you can get decent results shooting 29,97 and slowing in down 30% in Twixtor for the 24p timeline.
In any case Max, BMPCC is amazing, i'll repeat myself, AMAZING camera! It has fantastic picture, better then cameras that cost 10x the price, and i wish you all success with your next shoot, and like Ridley Scott replied on one of the interviews when they asked him "what advice would you give to all young cinematographers?"                                  he replied - "Just fuckin do it"
 

Sorry Andrew, didn't want to confuse you, i didn't use LA7200 with rangefinder, i just mentioned it as an example, in s35 at 5k it doesn't vignette, as well as Kowa 16h or ISCO ultra star, from 50mm and up; and putting rangefinder on kowa 16H creates strong vignette, without rangefinder kowa, or blue star , or ultra star don't vignette,
 but this is in 16;9, switching to 2x anamorphic mode fixes this vignette, but as i said i don't like that mode and prefer 3,5:1, but well;
shot some test tonight, 'human feces' will be the next test, but i like this glass. a bit too heavy, i would accept hard plastic framing, cuz for anamorphic setup it is a lens+adapter+rangefinder, gets heavy and bulky, i know, i know, real anamorphics are huge and heavy, just thinking out loud;
So, dear Andrew, are any of new SLR Magic anamorphic lenses cover 5 or 6k, because if they do that would be awesome.
thanks!

now you can add A7S2 to the list, but from given choice i'd go with Ursa Mini, and not 4k, but 4,6k version, extra resolution is nice, but extra 3 stops of DR even more important,
but, as always, budget has final say;

Nikon Nikkor 50 1,4 non Ai, very sturdy front mount, and my copy is sharper than razor

what anamorphics you used?

hack is good,
hack is like releasing hidden powers, is like overclocking your processor, i wish there would be a hack for a human brain, like in Matrix, so i can learn After Effects, or Resolve from A to Z in 5 seconds, or i wouldn't need to sleep so i can shoot and edit 24 hrs a day
Hack is really good,
and as to a GH2 vs GH3 - i got rid of GH3 after couple months, but i still shoot with my GH2;
but that's me :)))

No, putting different specs into the same hands will not change anything, and you hardly will notice any difference in IQ, especially on the web,
if only buying Christopher Doyle camera would make me Christopher Doyle,
that would be nice.

believe it, it'll be here in couple months :)
i've been shooting 4K since 2010, but never deliver anything in higher than 1080 :)
and to me 4k (at least today) not as much about resolution as about detail and dr; i didn't have a chance to get a closer look at XAVC, but red R3Ds are extremely light , in fact way lighter than AVCHD for example, and i can edit 4K raw on my slightly modified Samsung i7 laptop.
i can't wait to get that lil 4k camera!

2 x Red Epic Dragons
1 x Kowa anamorphic set
Massively impractical, completely pointless and it will probably bankrupt you. Might be fun though. :)

Or just keep the money, move to Cuba and change your name to Miguel.
