    Tim Sewell got a reaction from anonim in Comet Color for V Log L   
    This is nice, but will be inferior to my new LUT, on which I am working - the Western Union LUT, which will make all footage look like the majestic 70mm footage from David Lean's classic Lawrence of Arabia. Payment will be accepted by my uncle, Karim, behind his cafe in Luxor.

    Tim Sewell got a reaction from PannySVHS in Blade Runner 2049 trailer and a first look at Roger Deakins' cinematography   
    Deakins is declining to go into much detail until the film is released, but in every question ha has answered he has emphasised that the looks were achieved on set in the camera and that virtually no post manipulation was used. I can well believe this.

    Expecting the color science we got to know from A7s and A6300   Gee, FS700 graded SLOG with internal 28mbit 8bit codec, if fed with enough light, looks
    by miles better than what I´ve seen from consumer range SLOGs.

    My guess would be that this camera will be priced considerably above $3000.

    Yours for only $32,000 + VAT. Bit expensive considering what you can get from RED or Sony for that price.

    Tim Sewell got a reaction from webrunner5 in Honey, we need to talk about the kids...   
    That may or not be a 'good thing', but I don't think it will happen to any great degree. Movie stars are movie stars and, no matter what you think of them individually, each have a 'something' that most people don't (and I probably include a few vloggers in roughly the same category). My point is that those very rare people will continue to command vast fees, which means that professional, talented, experienced production people will always be in demand - to be entirely sure that you'll get exactly the right stuff in the can in the amount of the talent's time you can pay for, you can afford those people more than you can afford to go auto-everything.

    An area of relevance to us lower mortals not using C300 mkiis is that (if it does indeed have the same provenance) the issue may well get cleared up on the XC10/15 as a side-benefit from pressure to fix being exerted on Canon by angry pros holding 5-figure cameras exhibiting ghosting like this.

    After a few days of cooling off I felt terrible about all this. I took the thread too personally and responded emotionally and didn't think it through. I think we all did. We are all brothers here and I hope to continue to be part of this amazing community.

    Tim Sewell got a reaction from Phil A in Apple talk dramatic 2018 Mac Pro update amidst multiple controversies   
    Mt two-pennorth - I use computers all day, every day (I'm a software developer). My last 2 machines have been Macbook Pros because that's the environment they use on my current contract (when I bought the first one, at the Apple Store in Covent Garden, they guy found out it was my first Macbook and asked me, as we headed for the till, if I was excited! - heh). My previous contract was in a Linux-based shop so I carried on using my 15" stuffed-to-the-gills Dell XPS (which is still going strong for my wife) that I had bought at the beginning of the previous Linux/Windows contract. They're just machines. FCPX is my NLE of choice at the moment because that's what runs best on the machine I have. Hopefully (I bought my new Macbook late last year - don't like the look of the new ones) my next job will require a Windows machine as you can just get a lot more grunt for your money. If I move house and get the space I'll probably build my own desktop for video/photo work. I can't really get excited about either system. You buy what's best for the job you're doing and you learn to use it.

    Best explanation of organised Abrahamic religion I have ever seen!
    And the ones started by religion are really about the money too. The religion just helps to get people riled up and ready to kill.

    Hmm, really?? If we are going to turn this in to some Bible Packing, finger waving, my religion is better than yours crap, I hope this does not continue.
    I have been involved in a couple of stupid ass religious bullshit wars, and one all about the money, that I don't need to see anymore horseshit, ergo people dying, happening in my lifetime. People tend to die in those for, no we are right, no you are wrong stuff, oh and it is all in the name of "our" God, How f-ing convenient!.
    Nobody really knows who is right or wrong. We may find that out when we die, but then I doubt even then. I tend to think the vast majority of religion is just a way to control humanity. No God would let shit happen that I have seen and done in the name of God and country!! And that continues to this day, and will continue, because like I have said, there is some EVIL ass people in this world, has been, and will be..
    I go by the old saying ,treat others like You would like to be treated. That is all the damn "religion" you ever need.
    But religions are are part of life all around the world, nothing wrong with videos that show Church's, crosses, people participating,. It is reality. Just don't make it a way to convert people to what you believe is all I am asking. I am not too big on any of it anymore.

    The Bible doesn't teach anything by itself. Jesus said 'don't worship me, worship God' (Revelation 22:9). Yet many worship him anyways (same thing for Buddha). The original concept of God has been equally distorted for politics and control. God wasn't meant to be a 'vengeful/emotional' anthropomorphic being. Metaphors were used to try to describe difficult concepts. However they've been misinterpreted to fit the model of a patriarchal power structure. Jesus wasn't The son of God- he was A son of God, as we are all children of God. And in essence, we are all God co-creating reality together- that's what they really meant. This concept isn't even religious- it's obvious by itself, ipso facto. Jesus was killed to maintain a political power structure. And when I say Jesus, I mean all the different equivalent forms too which existed long before Jesus, for example Horus. Again, not focusing on the person, only the ideas, which are what's really important. People get distracted fighting over the source(s) and forget the truth in what was said (which everyone pretty much agrees with).
    The information recorded in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and New Testament is meant to help people. When people focus on 'The Bible' and who said it as Primary Importance, therein lies a fundamental misunderstanding of the original purpose of The Bible and similar religious documents. If everyone simply focused on the original intention of the scriptures for the big 3 religions, and not the books themselves, the people who spoke, and the associated religions and political systems, then people from all 3 religions would have a chance at consensus and agreement (actually all religions and atheists too). If you truly want to follow Jesus' teachings, why wouldn't you want to help unite everyone on Earth, and do whatever it takes to do so?
    The fire metaphor is a good one- let's add to it. You can yell fire in a certain way that only 1/4 the people will understand, and 3/4 of the rest of the people will die. You have the option to yell fire where all the people can be saved, yet it will require a small sacrifice in your personal political group, possibly against your ego, possibly with financial loss. How will you yell fire? 
    I haven't asked you to do anything, only asked you questions.
