ade towell reacted to SteveV4D in What REALLY prompted Canon suddenly to get their act together with video?
Of course it's up for debate. It's being debated here and it's being debated elsewhere. How we each perceive colour is something that has often been debated. How bright or accurate colour looks can depend on age, what you're use to seeing. How do you know that the way I see red, is precisely the way you see red. There have been images on the internet, where people have debated what colour something is, with different results from person to person. The blue and black or white and gold dress being a famous example of how we don't always perceive colour in the same way, when shown the same image.
Colour science and how we each perceive it is a complex issue and yet you think you have the answers. You have an opinion, nothing more.
I agree Arri is very popular. So is Canon. But popularity doesn't mean a universal truth. To me, Canon isn't accurate straight out. Yes it gives pleasing skin tones; but often by giving them a warmth not always seen in real life. My opinion of course. In the Canon vs Nikon debate, I personally feel Nikon is more true to real life, whilst Canon is more pleasing to look at.
I get you love Canon. But its colour profile whilst considered true to life from your own personal perspective and therefore requiring less grading from yourself, is still just your opinion and not fact.

Colour is subjective (I actually prefer Panasonic colour science since EVA, S1 etc), the rest of these you're just guessing, IBIS and DR of the S1, SH1 are going to be hard to beat.
Hope you're right as progress benefits all of us but your Canon love in and trashing of the BM Pocket is a little OTT

This would be a great move and I think create a whole new buzz about the C200, at £5800 new it is still too high for a camera without a middle codec and I would prefer the Panasonic EVA - but 10 bit would make a return to Canon more interesting for me. I have no interest in 8k of the R5 but would spend that kind of money on a used proper cine/video camera

That would work for me. Be interesting to see what the Sony fx6 offers

ade towell reacted to currensheldon in Panasonic S1H review / hands-on - a true 6K full frame cinema camera
I recently started a web series about Quarantine Life and shoot it mostly on the Panasonic S1H (some shot on the EOS R). Thought you'd like to see some real world footage of the S1H and maybe have a laugh as well. Like most of you, I had almost all of my work for 3-months canceled, so this is based on a very true story.

ade towell got a reaction from IronFilm in Has Canon planned a Formidable Attack
I'm hoping the Sony announcement is for the fx6. That camera intrigues me more, and if it keeps the colour science and AF from the fx9 and prices itself under £5k it could be a winner

New Yorker is a Left Biased magazine, you can not expect objectiveness from a media like that, obviously nobody except Left Biased people will believe on it.

Don't worry, not all of us 'mericans are drinking the oddly orange colored Kool Aid currently being served up by the Cheeto in Chief, along with his usual sides of confusion, baseless self-aggrandizement, ruthless politicizing and swindling the gullible. But those who are drinking it... well you've read the results of that right here.

ade towell got a reaction from matthere in Panasonic GH6
Yes eleison I'm not really sure what point you are actually making and to be honest lost interest a long time ago. You say technology waits for no man etc... and as anonim has pointed out, the cutting edge comes to m43 a long time before it does full frame - we're still waiting for that to catch up with much of what the gh5 has been offering for years. And you also say let's wait for the unicorn that is the A7s3 and lets not go chasing the latest and greatest. Am confused...
Anyway always excited to see where a possible gh6 could push what's possible for mirrorless video, Panasonic are always trying to provide the best they can as opposed to Sony's recent regurgitation of 8 bit overheating jello vision

ade towell reacted to BrooklynDan in Canon will be announcing a new Cinema EOS camera ahead of NAB in April
I work (and have worked) in multiple rental houses that have rented to all types of productions. Easyrigs get rented a lot, but mostly to commercials and branded content. They work great for getting that spontaneous, free-floating handheld look, shot-from-the-hip style that's prevalent now in ads, both on TV and stuff that get's aired on Youtube. It's also great for documentary work, since it allows to hold the camera for much longer periods of time. 20, 30, 40 minute handheld takes become much easier with an Easyrig.
For actual dramatic, narrative material, easyrigs are used much less. Dramatic cinematography relies on the ability to control your frame and land precisely on marks. This is really hard to do with an Easyrig because it tends to swing the camera when you turn. Also, extended handheld tracking shots are impossible because when you walk with an Easyrig, the motion from your hips gets transmitted through the arm and is visible in the footage. There is a use for the Easyrig for helping with low-angle handheld shots with really heavy rigs (such as Alexa 65, or Venice with certain anamorphic lenses), but the standard in handheld cinematography is a well-balanced camera on the shoulder and a pair of strong hands either holding grips, or the mattebox.

ade towell reacted to Snowfun in Understanding color
Sometimes it helps to comment on or discuss the content you introduce. Using the forum as a repository for videos which you have found (and, let’s be honest, others could find too) doesn’t develop a topic. Even providing something as simple as a justification of why you selected those particular videos would be interesting.
Just my observation.

ade towell reacted to heart0less in Understanding color
Even though many of these videos are helpful and I'd miss them if it weren't for you @Emanuel, I'm with @Snowfun on this one.
It almost feels like I opened YouTube and was greeted by my 'Recommended' section.
Some videos there are on point, some are random, some cover the same topic again and again. And how do I know, which are worth my time?
One could spend his whole life browsing through what YouTube offers us.
It's not that I don't appreciate your contribution - I really do. You keep quite a few threads afloat and try to arouse some discussion and that's awesome.
But if I could ask for only one thing, this would be some sort of a short commentary. What can we expect in the video, what did you find helpful / interesting, why did you choose to share it in the first place.
No need to be defensive (at least that's what I felt reading your post above), since nobody here tries to attack / offend you in any way.
Cheers!

Oh that's easy. There is a spray you can get that swimmers use for inside their goggles.
Anyway, she's doing it wrong because she needs a canary in there.
If the canary falls off it's perch, basically you are fucked.
