i see now, thanks  again for  taking the time
 

Hi Xavier, it is a form of  "invisible cut "editing, there was a brilliant article on the technique on nofilmschool last month. Real eye opener. I hadn't realized myself but its an incredibly sophisticated technique of very carefully matching shots that are visually similar or connected. In particular the motion and  speed of motion of  the cut shots is vital. its very time consuming to get right apparently.

For what its worth.
I am also Incredibly dissapointed to read Andrew Reids continued defence of bullying and assault in the workplace.
 

​thanks for removing all doubts. EOS HD is run by a man obsessed and dismayed by a changing worldview, who series rising social status as a zero-sum game thus seeking out others to blame for his own loss of stature, who is afraid of the other, who wishes for a time when "men could be men" and conveniently omits that those times were marked by severe inequality and social acceptance of "casual" racism/classism/sexism/whatever. so you're a lad, in other words. go for a nice long drive in your Audi and shout "cunt" at pedestrians. then come back when you're ready to talk about cameras and film technique.
 

Weird.  Not a single word about Clarkson's behaviour or responsibility ? 
It's everyone else's fault according to you ?  Never mind him being drunk while at work and hitting a superior, right ? 

I only see 1 person doing any moral posturing here.  Defending alcohol abuse in the workplace and physical violence.

And if you're going to get upset with every person disagreeing with you, maybe you simply shouldn't allow comments.  That'll save you the trouble of responding.

I don't have a problem with your opinion.

But calling this a threat to democracy and free speech is ludicrous. 
A soccer player getting sacked can still find another team to play for.  A recording artist dropped by their label, can still sign somewhere else. 
If he's really that special and unique he'll find another sponsor and you'll continue to enjoy him.

You've now posted 3 times about the same thing.  And plenty of people have disagreed. 
Are you going to keep posting until we all agree ?  Or all leave ?

​Unwinding with discussions does make me feel better, thanks for asking.​
You're the one being defensive, bro. All I said was I disagree with you.​
Consensually, yes. I'm sure you understand this nuance. I do like a good sport.​
​Well now we're speculating. Who's to say the witnesses or crew may not have pushed it further? Yes the BBC are covering their ass here, and it was always lose-lose.
​... calm down, it's only a Motoring show haha. 
 
​Maybe he could have done more to save Jeremy Clarkson's job? Maybe he didn't want to do anything at all? How does one trust any one after being threatened of their job and getting a beat down? His statement seemed professional and respectful enough to the BBC's decision. Hopefully he'll get to keep his job on the new Top Gear or wherever at the BBC. 
 
​Would be better for all involved if he was just fined a lot [if the Producer was 100% on board and crew protected] and I can agree with that if it was near the beginning of his contract. But this happened at the point of his renewal and I guess the BBC must have faith that there's upcoming replacements available for the show.
Also LOL:

I hate Top Gear precisely because of Clarkson he's such an entitled twat and I'm a complete Car Nut and watch almost every Car Race on the Planet! I'm glad he's gone, the English don't see it because they're raised in that classism bullshit, but here in Australia and NZ ppl like him would get his face pushed in every other night!! my 2c!

For what its worth.

These new products do look amazing and im definitely interested in buying.
But the previous comment that claims john Barlow closed a thread about a competitor is really shocking.
Is it possible to have more information from all parties concerned ?

FWIW
Had a lot of  success with program "cliphouse"
it has  speeded up our ML workflow.
Its most important feature is to preview  your clips very quickly (not instantly but pretty quick) giving you on set playback.
we have a laptop with connected card reader, we dont offload card just use it to connect files to program for playback.
Also we found it can process/export your video file in the aspect ratios you decide.

Hi everybody and anamorphic lovers ! 
Here is my 1st movie with the upcoming SLR Magic anamorphot 1.33X - 50 anamorphic lens on OM-D & Sony A7 !!! :)
 

 
It's now since one week that I own the upcoming new anamorphic lens from SLR Magic, the anamorphot 1.33X - 50.
It's a compact and light 1.33X anamorphic lens, working from 40mm on full frame and 20mm on M43 systems.
It has the particularity of having a focus ring for close focus, it's very convenient because you can use it without diopters. Another difference seems to be the usuability of shooting at fast apertures. I even did a fast test at T0.95 on the SLR Magic 25mm and the image was still usable ! More tests to come.
I've used two cameras with two different lenses on this movie.
First the OM-D OM-5 from Olympus. Despite it's not so good video codec, this camera has what the other cameras don't have (yet) : an incredible 5 axis stabilization system. The addition of the Lumix 20mm with the SLR Magic anamorphot on the OM-D make quite the perfect combo. The problem that I still have with the love-able OM-D is finding the best image mode. I'm usually using the "Art3" mode Pale&Light Color (like in this movie), or sometimes "Art4" mode Light tone mode. 
Second the new Sony A7, the first full frame hybrid camera. For me this camera is very lovable too. For the first time it's offering the same flexibility than M43 systems : putting thousand third part lenses (such as Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Contax, Leica, M39, M42, Cine lenses, and so on....). And enjoy those lenses in full frame. 
The 50$ Nikon 50mm f1.8 is a cheap and very good pancake lens. I've put on the Sony A7 with a Novoflex E to Nikon mount adapter. The result with the SLR Anamorphot is very good too, and there is less distortion on the edges than the Lumix 20mm on the OM-D. It's real obvious when you watch the difference on the flares from the two lenses. 
Using the diopters on the SLR Magic anamorphot improve the sharpness of the image. The 0.33X achromatic diopter from SLR Magic seems good and offer more sharpness, but it is not indispensable for close focus, because of the close up focus ring of the lens. The 1.3X gives the possibility to film closer to the subject, and the 3X I'm using too... The three diopters of the movie are reavealing tremendous flares, as you can see at the end of the "Crêpes scene".
Thank you for watching ! Any comment are welcome ! :)
