Okay, now the video is officially announced. So here it is. Feel free to comment and give feedback, thanks!
 

Here is a new musicvideo shot for a great artist Nightstop. Don't miss this sleazyness!
You can listen the music if you haven't heard of it before:

Idk, I think Mr. Netflix may tell me, "Hey Kid, if only your not horrible movie had pretty dames like Marty's movies, you may have something, see." Think bad Edward G. Robinson impression.

Great thing about s16 lenses is they would love the 1.4 crop mode of the GH5, which is still 4K and should give pixel perfect downscaled HD.
Makes the GH5 a nice stabilized s16 cinema camera, the GHMCC, GHMagicCinemaCamera:)
 

@jcs and @HockeyFan12, you guys confuse me. Maybe it´s my lackful English. Maybe it is your English, you guys are able to express all
this knowledge with. Will try to understand that interesting stuff some day. Astonishing! Wow!
 
@mercer Glenn, Mr. Netflix might reply: If your GH5 only had Olympus colors, I´d give you green light for your not horrible film, that you pitched
oh so well:)

Whoa, why haven't I heard of this crop... Are you trying to spend my money for me, Marty?
Does the crop work in 4K 60p as well?
So it becomes a 3.4x crop? Man the Kern 10mm would be a wicked little lens.

They drove right by my neighborhood along Beverly Blvd (keep an eye out for El Coyote on the left). Also their new campaign slogan, "$8K for 8-bit" is not very compelling.

It is there, thanks for asking, Fritz!!  Mandorla can be found (in all its GH2+anamorphic glory, thanks to Andrew Reid and this community that sparked me to quit my day job and make the film) on iTunes worldwide, in English with subtitles in French, Spanish, Portuguese, and soon Italian and Chinese (thanks to friends of the film), and also on Amazon, Google Play, Microsoft, Orange in France, Sony in Spain, and Vimeo and VHX worldwide.
If you have a compelling story and a dream to make it into a film go out and do it. Camera, lenses, and microphones help, along with a good script and actors, supportive crew, and a producer who believes you when you say you have to spend most of the budget on lenses!

I think he is targeting Netflix for making a hard + fast rule of 4K camera acquisition only. It's easy to say 4K is top quality for a consumer, but that is only a fraction of the variables. It's much easier than advertising "Shot with Arri Master Prime" or "Shot with Cooke Speed Panchro but mastered in 6K so it all equals out".

Great thing about s16 lenses is they would love the 1.4 crop mode of the GH5, which is still 4K and should give pixel perfect downscaled HD.

No worries, I look forward to seeing your short as well, so it equally applies to you of course. 
Yes, the E-M5 Mark II has a microphone input and with the added grip, you get a headphone input as well. I actually briefly had the camera last month and really liked it, but I thought I wanted a 4K camera as a second cam, so I returned it. But after looking at my options and buying and trying another GX85, I decided I don't need 4K. As always though, once I start spending money, I begin to question if I should just spend more and get the better camera. Too many choices and none of them are perfect. 

That´s right. It´s going to be shot at the end of August. It´s gonna be a fun experience. This time with usable dialogue sound, though not in English:)
My bet for your camera would be: A6000 or G85 or EM10 II. Oly EM10 II has the 72mbps ALL Intra, has 3 axis IBIS, does not have Flat profile.
For the Oly 5 n 10 II, do they have mic input? All in all the Olys seem pricey, but your choice by heart. So, maybe Oly E M10 II could be it, if
audio and battery solution is nice.
 
EDIT: Hoppla, thought you meant my lil project, conceided me. But of course, hopin too that Mattias gets to shoot his film.
Sorry about the mistake at the beginning of my post.

I posted a screenshot from the LS300 and the Oly 17mm somewhere and it might be somewhere in one of my videos as well. Just cant remember.

This is shot in full auto with the Pen-F and "graded" in camera with a bunch of presets and toy filters
Maybe not showing the best of the lens.. but still.
BTW, regarding the A7ii. I really think you should try it first. Because the video on it if using slog is actually worse than the video from the original A7.
There is so low detail that I think it might start to bother you.
And how much where you planning on buying it for?
Here the A7ii goes pretty close to the X-T20 with the stabilized zoom.
Imo, between A7ii and the X-T20 the later is a no brainer for both video and stills.

That's very cool.  I hope you get to shoot that script. I mean you couldn't ask for a better location. 

Thanks for the reply. I have really liked what I have seen from the A7ii, even though I may be the only one that thinks this is a video underdog. I guess compared to the fantastic a7s, it seems a silly choice, but I already own the 5D3 and started investing in Canon glass, so the point of the second camera is to get a pick up and go camera... so IBIS is vital.
The Olympus definitely wins on that front with the superior IBIS, but I am fond of the floaty variant on the A7ii as well. And I must say that after shooting full frame for the first time, I finally get the appeal of it.
The big problem with the A7ii is that I can get an a6500 for the same price and have 4K and better IBIS. If I could get one for a6300 money, it would be a no brainer and I'd go the a6500 route.
Since IBIS is at the top of my feature list, I only have 5 options...
• GX85
• E-M5 Mark II
• G85
• a6500
• A7ii
Honestly, even with the 4K, I just don't want another Panasonic right now. Every other camera I bought over the past two years was a Panasonic and I eventually either sold it or returned it. 
So that leaves me with either the E-M5ii, the a6500 or the A7ii. Since this is supposed to be a casual camera, I don't see the point in spending close to $1500 for one of the Sony's and to be honest, I don't want to get something that is too good either. I am actually a big fan of the a6500 4K... it blows my mind how sharp it is, but the Raw on the 5D3 blows my mind how cinematic it is, but knowing me, I would start reaching for the simpler, 4K camera more than I will the 5D3, and I think that will hurt my work in the long run.
If only I had all the money and time in the world, I'd own a 5D3, an e-m1mk2, a GH5, an a7s, an X-T1, a C100, a C200 and an Alexa Mini... I bet the Alexa Mini would take great cat videos and rack focus shots of dead leaves...
Cool shot, you pulled some nice detail out of that considering the high contrast scenario. Do you have any videos taken with the 17mm?
Thanks Marty, I saw that video but he doesn't have any samples with the 16mm, so I was unsure if there is coverage. I letterbox everything anyway, so even some dark corners will usually work for my tastes. The Fujinon 12.5mm f/1.4 does indeed fully cover the 4K frame with the G7, GX85, so I assume it works with the GH4 and G85 as well, but I doubt it will with the GH5. With the GX85, due to the IBIS, you can see some sensor blackout, on the sides of the frame, if you pan too fast. Here's a link to the one I have...

That legendary "mercers 12.5mm Fujinon"! No need for me to hunt for it anymore, since I bought the SLRMagic 12mm. Or am I at the beginning of a 12mm GAS now?:)
I found different lenses of a Fujinon 12.5mm lens on ebay, some made in China, some in Bangladesh, looking pretty different from one another.
Could you post a link to the right version? I remember you wrote that optical quality is very good. Do you still have it? If so, I would definately support your
choice of a MFT camera as your second cam.
 
This video gives a good idea regarding Tevidon lenses and their coverage of m43 image circle. The 25mm looking pretty good, the 16mm not fully covering:
 

Hey @kidzrevil and you other kids!:)
I know we are all grownups, so no offense, but when it comes to lenses we are all kids:)
The 10mm Tevidon does not cover full m43 image circle. It covers s16 when cropped from top and down to 1:2.35 ration.
The 25mm covers even full m43 sensor though with only the slightest darkening of corners as this video shows:
 
Also, Tevidon seekers might wanna check out these two articles, giving a well rounded look into the odd characteristics of Tevidon lenses, at least when it comes to the 10mm and the 16mm. I own the 16mm but don´t have an adapter yet. Charateristics regarding uneven focussing plane, and soft wide shots are to considered when going for the 10 and 16mm Tevidons. And, don´t pay more than 150 USD please, better not more than 80! So here are the nice reads about Tevidon character for the 10 and 16 mills.

Glenn, my vote would be E M5 II plus slr magic 17mm 1.6, if you can get the lens for around 300. Or the G85, which has nice colors too and classic Panasonic 1080p besides its obvious UHD mode. G85 might be the same price as the EM5II. So, unless you assume some better color magic, you might go for the G85. Though Oly color seems tempting. Panny IPB codec with 24mbps for 24p HD holds up pretty well too. A7 video looks gruesome:) Weak codec and aliasing nightmare. A7II might be interesting with its 50mbps codec, still not cheap though. Or maybe consider the A6000 instead of that, which can be found for 400USD and has a gotten an update for 50mbit codec. Check out Matt Kieleys A6000 birthday vid, not only a beautiful shortfilm but also showcase for A6000 colors and HD image.
 
 

Not allowing the Amira and standard Alexa is straight up moronic. The upscaled 4K in it thrashes the pants of plenty of native 4K sensors in terms of look and detail. I've had them side by side plenty of times.
Looking through the list and numbers and so on, the word that comes to mind is "arbitrary"
Also demanding Alexa 65 with Arriraw as the only acceptable Arri format when nearly every feature film is shot on Arri... and plenty on Alexa ProRes... it seems more like a political alliance with other manufacturers against Arri dominance than much else.
Which is silly, they're dominant because their product is the best. Thought the Varicam is arguablly as good if it gets the uptake.
 
 

Not with full pixel readout, no way, not in a year. Unless it's a native 1080p (2MP) sensor. I think we'd be lucky to see continuous clean(full pixel readout) 120p in the next year. Aren't the RX cams doing some sort of binning in 120p mode?

Saw this on YouTube. Fascinating.  NOT FOR THE TECHNICALLY FAINT OF HEART.  But if you're comfortable with TCP/IP then this is very interesting.  Essentially, what Danman has figured out is that this HDMI extender transmits the HDMI signal through standard TCP/IP packets.  He discovered that VLC, ffmpeg, etc. will read the stream fairly well, and most other software that will display a network stream.  From there, you can save to any video CODEC they support (which is almost every one) There are various hacks to get around some issues (like multi-broadcasting to your whole network) which seem pretty well documented.  I suggest watching the YoutTube video by OpenTechLab.  The only gotcha for you EOSHDers is the latency, which is about a second and half.

Here's what I believe is the right thing on Ebay.  Remember, you want the TRANSMITTER.  Not the receiver.

Yes, I think the 25mm will. The 16mm may as well, but I can't say for certain. I know 1" c-mount will have more wide angle coverage. I was getting full coverage with a 12.5mm Fujinon on the G7 and GX85. 

I second that completely!

Thanks for the comments. Taking lens is 50mm 2.8 russian macro lens. Really love that lens. Volna-9 is the lens.
Really nice flares, bokeh, colors. Everything is just something that I really like on this lens.
It has also special aperture charracter between f5.6-f8, it's star shape. 
 
PS.
Still late with the realease. Video has been ready for almost a month now... Still waiting the band to officially release the video.
 

With c mount lenses 25mm is usually pushing it in terms of vignetting in full m43, but with the extra crop in 4k on the G7, GH4 etc it covers. I actually have an 18-108 Fuji c mount zoom that barely vignettes at 18mm. Here's a video example:
