I really liked your other videos. In this one i enjoyed the backlight shots and the studio takes with the soft light. For the projector shots i would have lit foreground and background seperately for matters of control and effect. The outside shots would also benefit of from a more dedicated photographic approach. In the video they appear in a way a bit like ENG shots and would benefit from more in your face framing and composition, close, midshot, wides, front, profile, tracking, static, overhead, eye level, from down up, all more distinguishable, evoking strong visual interest, simple and to the point. Like in your other videos.😊 @Chrille

Eva1 might look creamier than the S1H regarding sharpness due to a 100% video focused oplf. @IronFilmhas had some projects with an Eva I think. I imagine the color science to be nicer. But that's in my imagination. Youtube shows that people love the image they are getting out of the Eva but so say S1h users or BM lovers. One guy put it right inbetween S1H and Varicam with the latter giving a true high end image. S1H beats it handsdown in lowlight though from the comparisons I've seen.

@Walter HI still own both, S1 and S1H. I bought the S1H as a replacement for the S1. I was not happy with the ergos and especially not with the gnarling mechanism of the tilt screen, though very robust but for too unpleasant to use. The S1H is a joy to hold and operate. The screen mechanism is awesome to operate and so useful. To have both, swivel and tilt is genius. Feels like a movie camera not like a system cam. It has true Super 35 in addition to Apsc mode, S1 doesn't. I didnt't compare the menues one on one but S1H feels way more forward, either by structure or by operation, not sure. It offers HD 100p and 120p in 10bit 200mbps h265. A Polish review channel on youtube tested the S1H with perfect downsampled HD resolution in S35 or Apsc mode, much better than the S1. It also offers Cine4K modes which the S1 does not. I really enjoy my S1H, whereas I didn't like to use my S1. S1 is a heck of a camera for the money and image, built quality is pro but I just didn't enjoy to use mine. S1H is in another league as a video camera though for me. I have so much fun using it. Timecode is another thing. But better ask @IronFilmabout that as he is a soundrecording pro and artist working with all cameras available for professional film productions. I love the top screen on the S1H, looks so much nicer than on the S1. I love looking at it. S1H is just a real marvel of a camera. Oh, it also has an optional tally frame when recording. I would not bother with 699 for an oplf but make myself a gift with a fantastic camera instead like I did, oplf included and all intra codecs as well. I will soon shoot 200mbps HD. I loved that mode on the GH5. @kyeDo I need to worry? Got the Rawlite Oplf and IRcut filter on my Bmmcc. Aka M2K 🙂

There are plenty mirrorless cameras if not all, one can mount on a tripod. A tripod has nothing to do with image quality per se. That is not the reason why it is a valid choice just like handheld or tracking shots are. The image quality of handheld shots in Private Ryan is no different than the tripod shots in this film. Spielberg choices between the two had nothing to do with image quality. Maybe you mean something else but it is not all that appealing to me to often have to try to find out what you might actually mean. If your thesis is that a F3 betters most mirrorless cameras regarding color, I can comprehend to such a statement. Though I think a S1H can come very close and might better it in lit scenarios as I am not a great fan of its color under natural daylight, looking too sterile for my taste. I love Lumix cams in lit sets. Not talking about youtube style led colored light overload. Anything looks bad under those conditions.

I must add, that within limits of 709 gamma i liked the HD from the G7 better than the GH5, regarding color science for grading and textures, also within the limits of bitrate of around 25mbits.:)

Really nice edit on the teaser. @IronFilm Colors at display look soso imho. Andy Lee has been writing about a feature film in production which he dped with several G7 cameras. It was titled Pandora back then. I don't know if it got finished. G7 has the nicest HD image I have seen from Lumix Mft cameras, almost as high resolving as GH5 but with less edge sharpness. I imagine the GH5II providing the best HD image of all of them. If the G7 only had a 50mbit longop codec like the GH3. I had gotten some nice images out of it. Great color palette for grading. Btw I still have mine, not used as much as I would have liked too.:)

I could imagine someone else behind this very recent alias. I would hope I am wrong. We had a member, well meaning and with real name, very energetic and with some difficulties staying calm about some of his quests and persisting on his suggestions, which were sometimes adventerous and sometimey beyond limits, such as mounting a 2/3 zoom on a Apsc camera. But he was never being rude or denouncing others such as greats of cinematography like Roger Deakins. To do the latter has been a low point of this forum. So my assumption should be and hopefully is wrong. Who knows by whom we have been kept busy in these akward ways.

I was also intrigued by the reply mentioning the doctor and his nephew in the human body of one person.:) @sanveer But I assume someone else being our 60p afficiando. Well:)

Thank you for your honest and vsluable post and glimpse into the hardships of an upcoming DOP @PPNSHopefully your hard work will pay off a big deal this year! I had a branch fall on my head when setting up a butterfly with the gaffer. Whenever i was being the gaffer i took great care of my lighting people. That accident made me decide to stop working on sets of narrative features in the low budget world in Germany for sure as most of the films made here are not dear to my heart at all. Wish you the best and good choices and instinct regarding projects.

Awesome. I think the LX15 was put to fantastic use. The person is an artist imo.

Some underwater macro marvel. Not bad for a little pocket cam. Upload is 1080p, so wandering if it was even filmed in 4K. So here the little Lumix LX10 for some underwater footage. I really like the framing and the cinematography as such. What do you think? @Davide DB 🙂

Here is an interview from the Criterion channel with Amy Seimetz about her narrarive feature "Sun Don't Shine". She was director, writer and producer for this film, which came out in 2012, shortly before Upstream Color.

Anyone shot any narrative work besides @PPNS ? Are you allowed to share some footage?

Good luck with your project! Is that you on one of the photos, the Win98 one? 🙂 @Emanuel

How much will the Z6III cost? No N-Raw? I find N-Raw from the Z8 and Z9 very impressive.

This one allows enough image quality for anyone of us. I wish for a M4K version with internal recording and an add on tilteable 2.5-3" monitor. Also give it optional S16 and 2x crop modes. For the Studio Micro G2 it would be cool to have a neat seamlessly connected ssd case like for the Sigma FP. Imagewise this is just as rocksolid as the P4K.

Has anyone invested time into thinking about this? - not me. but you have several times before over the course of last year. The iPhone 15 with log may be the win for ultimate travel ease - good pair of shoes is. Phone without log is lighter though. but curious about the quality bump and portability of these two bad boys. - watch markuspix and save big money. who needs bad boys. The smaller the footprint the less barrier to entry and more desirability to create - not at all. joy of using is. Buy any 3 of these you keep on mentioning. I think you really want to, considering your posts of the last one or two years. Meanwhile with a grain of salt but very entertaining and informative.

I remember her name now, Amy Seimetz. After i had watched the film around 2014 or 2015 i remember reading about her as a filmmaker. She as an actress and artist was very intriguing to me and means something to me as an icon of indy filmmaking. To later find out about her being harrassed was very unsettling and saddening to me. It felt like the worm under her skin hurting her for real. To me this film is always connected to the real circumstances of the abuse coming after it. Regarding watching SD content. @kye It was still mostly filmed on film. People were willing to watch VHS tapes, because it was the hot shit. Hard to replicate that experience and exitement about it. Well mastered Dvds look pretty impressive, sometimes better than streamed 1080p.

Even more to the story, I think Shane Caruth used Andrews 44mbit hack for the Gh2. I found the trailer compelling, the cinematography beautiful but the film all in all a bit of a let down due to its hyper fragmented narration. I got it on Dvd as a gift back then and it is an achievement I plan to rewatch on Bluray. The use of natural and available light is often a sight to be seen. Primer, the predecessor is a likewise confusing film and with some spectacular handheld camera work and editing, shot in one or two takes per shot on 16mm film. I call Upstream Color an oddity. Some find it masterful. The filmmakers threats some time later against his fellow actress are very unsettling. They were in a relationship with one and another. She is a very exiting name in the indy directing world now with some mainstream success. The threats by Caruth are gruesome and very upsetting. I cannot forget about it when thinking about this film and it makes me very sad. GH2 enthusiasts were often valid filmmakers with a solid filmmaking or creative background. If one rewatches Andrews GH2 pieces f.i. theres is a craftsmanship and art to it to be highly appreciated. You go and make your film, short or long, doesn't matter. Long or commercially successful does not necessarily mean good. So looking forward to you grabbing a moderately priced 10bit cam and rock. Love your Ccd abventures and color galore. @QuickHitRecord cheers 🙂

For photography I imagine this camera to be a great choice. I like the body size and design from looking at reviews. What's the difference between MK I and II? @MrSMW

20mm Nikon AI was vignetting pretty strongly wide open at f3.5 on full frame and the 35mm f2 as well iirc. @mercer My Canon Fd 28mm f2 has a lovely little vignette on FF when wide open. Only tested it wide open so i cannot talk about other apertures.

Just a 3d render and a guy with nervous hands. Fake vertigo inluded.😂

Image looks like from an p4k test video imo. @kye I find the video ok but pretty plain. Cage, ssd clamp and further rigging are shown in another video of the same youtuber. With the specific cage and external ssd it already looks looks pretty big, almost as big as the m2k with a 3" monitor rigged to the back, look at around 7min 50s. Knowing the great quality the p4k is capable of, this camera is no slouch in the image quality department, of course. It will be great for broadcasting and streaming for sure. I won't trade it in for my m2k though. 🙂

That's the one @kye Thanks for the find. I think she inspired a few of us to try something like that. The effort it takes regarding locations, travelling and filming are challenging. I am more comfortable with handheld work, including static shots by concept. Recomposing that frame on a tripod is a skill by itself. I have done some allright locked work I guess but handheld work, static and motion have been my comfort zone.

Hey, thank you for your advice. @Marcio Kabke PinheiroI am not in need of a camera for sure. From what I got watching reviews the overheating is a pain for more than just very careful casual video use. Good for me as i can save money and keep the money from my S1 sale, which I have not sold yet. Prices are so low these days, it's not fun to part from them for that little money. 🙂
