    brought my 5D3 with me to South Carolina for the eclipse. A few days later, we got some rain and I snagged a few shots.

    Zak Forsman reacted to Frank Glencairn in LukiLink project turns smartphones into an HDMI monitor   
    Well, actually that video grabber you mentioned in your link, was the thing that started the whole idea for us. We did our first tests, the videos, app prototyping andwhatnot with it. Though LukiLink will be manufactured by the same company (Hint: it's not Pearl, they just resell it), we have our own custom made board inside (without going to deep into this here, but it has a lot to do with latency/lag, and some other parameters, which don't really mater for a video grabber, but for the main usees our product), and  we also want to implement some features in the future, that would not be possible otherwise, like LUT upload to the device, an SDI option and some other stuff, which I can not talk about here, because of NDA. Also - if you look at the Kickstarter site - we have a female USB output connector implemented for us, not the fixed cable of the grabber. We made sure that both female connectors withstand the rough handling on set, and don't break as easy as the one of the video grabber (don't ask me how I know). That also makes a custom made housing necessary. Also we developed our own apps that will provide a ton of functions like peaking, waveform, markers etc. - also that grabber does only work with Android and not iOS.

    Yeah, no problem! This is a 30 second teaser. We're saving the actual trailer for much closer to the release date. This film was shot on a GH4, by the way.

    Zak Forsman got a reaction from Kurtisso in The wraps are off! Panasonic EVA1 compact cinema camera announced with Super 35 5.7K sensor and Dual Native ISO   
    believe me i know. I've been doing exactly that for years. i understand the advantages and disadvantages. full frame is fun and I enjoy shooting in it, but in this case, I *want* a super35 (1.5x) sensor digital cinema camera to shoot films with. I want that because that's the standard I'm used to for motion pictures. besides, I don't like using a focal reducer with my vintage lenses because they exacerbate blooming, CA, and soft corners for apertures wider than f/2.8, which negates the advantage of the metabones' extra stop, or more. fortunately, I won't need that extra stop with a native 2500 ISO (providing it's just as clean as 800 which we have yet to see from the EVA1). and last, I have the 5D3/MLRAW option for when I want the full frame look (which I'm also a fan of for the right project).
    side note: I used to own a good bit of MFT lenses when I was an AF100 and then GH4 owner. always found them a little too small to operate with my big bear paws.  the contax zeiss I'm using now look f***ing amazing and suit me better.
    I appreciate what your saying. just offering a different pov. 
    yes, two actually. and the latest is finally getting a release date for late this year or early next. in talks now with the distributor.

    ed, heres a protip: acting like a 5 year old online, under your real name, is a very bad idea. people who might want to hire you based on your good work will start to vet you, and within seconds theylll discover that youre a huge pain in the ass online, and they will wonder: How much worse is he in person?

    i LOVE being able to quote my own posts!! its like reblogging myself on tumblr
    @Zak Forsman one point of feedback: i would take the word "nicely" off that poster. good for a romantic comedy maybe? (Love is Nice)
    now then: guys thats an awesome throwback poster, for all the reasons that illustration is great for a one sheet, the artist did a great job, v well executed. but its not a retro gimmick, to me anyway, its SUPER contemporary
    it amazes me to no end how terrible the "thumbnail" images on various services for video may look, this poster on the other hand is a great, iconic, graphic design that is *intriguing* even at the size of a postage stamp. id click on that!!!!
    v v cool

    Zak Forsman reacted to aldolega in GH5 - major lag via HDMI out to ext. recorders?   
    I can't see how the delay on the GH5 itself could vary depending on the monitor/recorder used. I think it's just that cheap monitors add some additonal delay of their own.
