I really love the look and vibe you got out of the a7rii. It looks great! Keep up the awesome work!

**There was some audio distortion in the last upload of the video so I re-uploaded it.** Hey guys, Just wanted to share a promo I just made for DKNY with the Sony a7S. This was made as a tribute to my beautiful wife, Kari, whom passed in August 2015 from Cystic Fibrosis - a chronic illness with no known cure. Every shot but the New York B-roll was with the a7S (with the Atomos Ninja Flame external monitor/recorder in 4K), and graded with FilmConvert. I hope you enjoy the video. Please let me know what you think! Best wishes, Bradley

Thank you so much! Your compliments truly mean the world to me! Thank you so much! She's an angel. Thank you so much, BopBill! She was an absolute warrior and no matter how hard it got, she always had the most beautiful smile on her face! Thank you for your support!

Hey guys, I am currently in the running for the People's Choice award for best music video for RIVVRS: CONQUER! If you could take a few seconds to vote that would mean the world to me! This is a very important video and winning this competition would be such an honor and a blessing. Not only is it a tribute to my beautiful wife Kari, but to all the Cystic Fibrosis warriors out there - past, present and future. The winning video will get a lot of exposure, and that means a lot of awareness for CF! That's the goal!

Lots of great advice here! I'm very curious about your film festival. Do you accept music videos? I have a project very close to my heart. It's a music video that is a dedication to my wife Kari whom passed away from Cystic Fibrosis. It's in honor of her and for CF awareness. I'm trying to get it out to festivals and different places around the globe to get as much outreach and awareness for the disease. The artist of the song wrote my wife's and my favorite song and we became good friends over the years. We collaborated on this special project for her. Let me know if it sounds like something your festival might be interested in. Best wishes, Bradley

I'm selling my Pro Kit NX1 with the S lens and everything else for $1750. Great condition, like new. And it has had a glass screen protector since the day I bought it. No scratches on the screen. It's not new like you wanted, but you'd never know it. Perfect shape.

I'm selling the S lens NX1 bundle with extra battery and grip from the US. But it's used and you seem to not be interested in going that route. It's looks and works like new with no blemishes. Very lightly used. Take great pride and care with my gear. Just wanted to let you know and reach out if there is any interest. The only reason I'm selling it is for extra funds due to moving soon. Let me know if interested if not, good luck on the search! It's a great camera! Best wishes, Bradley

Just have to say after shooting in both UHD and DCI 4K... I really think DCI really shines. I have't measured the differences, and I'm only using the eye test, but I will now shoot exclusively in DCI over UHD. Gamma DR, DCI 4K and the 16-50mm S lens is a dream. Loving this camera, and can't wait to see what some of your custom settings look like. I will have to experiment some more after I finish up my latest project. You guys are awesome!

Looks awesome, man! What did you use to do that opening 10 second tracking shot through the trees? Handheld or on a dolly of some sort? GREAT SHOTS!

I was wondering if anyone has had a chance to use the Ninja Assassin. What are your thoughts comparing it to the Shogun, Odyssey, PIX-E5/7, etc?

Pretty cool to see the camera used in some pretty tricky situations. I for one am pretty impressed with the results. We shall see what this looks like when more cameras get released into the wild.

Thoughts?

^Meant to send this to Ricardo** This is absolutely gorgeous. I too would love to hear about your settings and grading walkthrough on this. Is it similar to the wedding you you posted a few weeks ago? Bravo man. This is incredible!

Awesome! Thank you I will continue to use it. I have preferred it and unless there was something I wasn't seeing that other had encountered, I was going to continue. Glad to hear that people get good results!

Thank you, sir! That is mostly what I have been using myself, and I'm glad I'm not the only one! I haven't done many "technical tests" on the NX1 yet - just the good old eye test. I have been strongly preferring DCI. It was just after doing research online - where an OVERWHELMING amount of people decried DCI - that I thought I might try to get a collective set of people's opinions on the matter whom have had the camera much longer than I have. Cheers!

Thanks for your thoughts. As I haven't performed tests on it yet, I have no idea personally of the differences. Only just bought the NX1. I have shot scenes on both, and I thought they looked remarkably similar. A lot of people say that DCI has less resolution, others say not so much - that's why I wanted to have everyones input I don't disbelieve either group until I do some testing myself, so no worries! I was just hoping to get a quick look at what people think and how they utilize either or choice. Thanks for the help! Really appreciate it. Very helpful, indeed! A feature that you may want projected in a theater. Which I personally don't need, but some might! But you're correct, very few transfer to film these days! Yes, I mean shooting strictly in one or the either. Not mixing. And if you were to mix you'd have to do a conversion to match the two - which would add an unnecessary wrinkle to the mix.

Yes, I'm very intrigued! Because I can see benefits of each of the two! How do you like the NX1?

I was wondering if anyone elects to shoot in 4K DCI over UHD. I know there has been some pretty conclusive stuff for UHD actually having more resolution than the DC1 4K mode of the camera. Also, UHD has 23.976 fps which for things not to be later transferred to film is the desired shooting method as opposed to DCI's 24p only option. My question is... does anyone actually shoot in DCI or is everyone shooting UHD and cropping to the desired ratio after the fact? Best, Bradley

This looks absolutely PHENOMENAL. Wow. You did an awesome job here. Thank you so much for sharing. This might very well be my favorite look of all the NX1 posts I have seen yet. Amazing stuff! Did you use Gamma DR or Normal Gamma in camera?

Thank you, sir! Greatly appreciated

That is some good looking stuff right there ^^ Also, what were your settings, Ricardo?

All I can say is that I bet they were really happy with your work here. You did a really great job. Some really wonderful shots in there. Shows what the NX1 is capable of in good hands. Congrats! I am assuming the NX1 will be coming out again for next wedding season?

I've always liked the look of Red cameras (not as well as ARRI mind you), and so far the camera looks pretty darn good. Even their "inexpensive" models cost quite a bit when you actually get them ready to shoot... but if you have the funds to procure one, they are beautiful! Having said that, I love my NX1 and a7S combo myself
