    1. Innovative Lighting Tools
    Lighting is the most important technical aspect of filmmaking, yet so, so many people don't bother! INSANE!!! I'd like to see a growth of innovation in affordable, LED based lights with high light output. Smartphone controlled lights. Clamped lights. LIGHTS!!!
    2. Modified Lenses
    Lenses are more interesting when modified, certainly when they can do some extra effects and have cine gears. Give us some character!
    3. Ninja Star 4k 
    I don't want a massive screen on my tiny camera thanks! The Shogun really needs a baby brother. 
    4. Panasonic Video Camera
    They have a GH4, and then...a Varicam. Surely they have a partner to the GH4 on the horizon? 4k 60p, better DR and 120fps HD are my only requests. 
    and... that's it.

    Jimmy got a reaction from Xiong in Tempted? Should you get a $6499 Canon C300 or wait until after NAB?   
    The C100 is a very good deal. Maybe some here haven't used a camera with simple luxuries like built in NDs and XLRs, but it is so liberating.
    I'd not be buying any $6500 camera so close to NAB though.

    Jimmy got a reaction from Beritar in A Walk Downtown - Samsung NX1 - 4k Cinematic Test   
    Just made me laugh, the way you made it sound like Andrew had championed some little indiegogo camera or something.
    That guy "Brother"'s videos convinced me... Until then I had not seen anything really nice out of the camera, including Samsung's big budget productions, so I really was not having a dig.. Just found it funny.

    Jimmy got a reaction from IronFilm in NAB build up - Canon working on GoPro competitor and next Cinema EOS camera will target 'wider market'   
    Not sure GoPro can be considered niche anymore?
    I was on vacation this week in Iceland, we went to a place called the blue lagoon.. A big tourist attraction, and I would say 1 in 4 of the younger tourists had a GoPro to take video/photos of them in the pool. I was shocked.

    Jimmy got a reaction from pablogrollan in Canon Rumors says GH4 competitor will be fixed lens in smaller C100 style body   
    So... Potentially they do something that no one else is really doing.... A small, cheap, high quality 4K camera for gimbal/copter work. People cry
    This place is brainwashed, not sure I can be bothered anymore. Why not see what happens and how it will suit your style, if this has C-log and 12 stops DR... Is it not quite a cool thing to have in the marketplace? If it doesn't work out, at least they are trying something, rather than Nikon, who seem to come in for little/no stick considering they have no video division to piss off.

    yes it's a great feature, makes apsc lenses like the pretty cheap sony 50mm 1.8 with image stabilisation useful in full frame mode

    Jimmy got a reaction from Cinegain in Am I stupid to consider a D750?   
    Think you've answered your own question!
    There is no perfect camera for everyone's needs... So just make a checklist of what is most important and get the camera/s that checks as many of those boxes as possible.
    The D750 seems a very capable camera... I've not used one, but the images I have seen look great and has a feature set that seems to fit what you need.

    SlippyWill.... Sorry, I missed that.
    re: second point. He has not been suspended for anything he has done as his "persona" and certainly not anything that is stifling creativity. This is why I think the blog post is a nonsense.

    Well, yea, he did. Off camera, on camera, out take... What's the difference, he said it, he apologised. It shows the mindset of the man.
    I'm about as hard to offend as possible, I'm not offended by Clarkson. I don't even dislike the guy (other than being a chelsea fan)... I laughed out loud when he said he was "off to the job centre" yesterday.
    I just don't believe that huge stars should be given different rights to anyone else. If the producer had punched Clarkson, do you think he would be working today?
    This diatribe is hiding an ugly point behind an indie/creativity mask.... That big stars should be able to do whatever they want, without consequence... Because they bring in money and entertain. It's the opposite of the indie mindset.

    I'm not offended by your post, but I do find it a load of tub thumping nonsense.
    1) If a lead star on a production punched a producer, there would be consequences, even if it were Tom Cruise.
    2) You seem to conveniently paper over the fact that he was caught saying nigger on camera and also called an asian guy a "slant'. Two of numerous offences that went unpunished and led to his final warning.
    If you want to move into this sort of editorial you need to put down both sides of the story, especially when your followers are not all UK based.
    This isn't bending over to political correctness, it is very lightly punishing someone for a constant stream of problems. Most other presenters would have been kicked in to touch long ago. You cannot let someone go unpunished, time and again, just because he is a creative asset and pulls in big bucks.
    I don't mind Clarkson, he can be funny, entertaining, no nonsense and clearly knows his cars. But that isn't a green light to do absolutely anything.

    People in the wrong often deny things. People who might not feel they are in the wrong, but are, can deny things. People who are in the right can deny things, if their memory is blurred from booze and fatigue.
    Anyway, i'm bowing out of this.. At least until the picture is clearer.
    The crux of this blog was not really about his innocence or guilt, but about the idea that he shouldn't even have to answer for his actions because he is a creative and a star... Which I strongly disagree with. Even if he is found completely innocent, these things have to be looked into otherwise we run the risk of another Saville.... Overlooking a potential problem, just because it is the number 1 star.
