Yeah if I could, I would buy an alexa mini. But it will take a lot of years before they hit the 10k margin. Yeah the red one would be ok, but I do fly a ronin mx, and the red one is just a tad too big for my ronin mx. So the x sensor is also upgradeble to Helium? Any link to that article/news? Thanks!

yeah it says dragon sensor not the X series. So if people need to upgrade to dragon and then helium. They might be just interested in a new body as well. So I think there will still a lot of red epic-x floating around real soon.

Hey, Do you guys think the Red one, epic, scarlet x prices will be dropping heavily in the couple of months? As the cameras are quite dated atm? My max budget is 10k for a red epic-x package, do you think these prices will be going within the year? Thanks,

Yeah the atomic 3000 is a nightclub strobe. You can see it perform against the lightning strikes 8k here, as you can see it has some issues with it. a

Hey, this might be a good idea. Could this be controlled with a dmx controller so I can program it to a beat? Where could you buy one and what is the cost?

Thanks, Well yeah I do not want fake it. (as I will be shooting movements that will also have a projection mapping, so need to shoot readable data in between, and also do not want this to be heavily touched in post except for the color grading). I can't believe the lighting strikes paparazzi 8k is the only light that could this fairly well. There should be atleast a european counterpart no?

Yeah I need to film it (I want to capture a scene with this lighting where they are moving, and I want to see them move in the flashlight, and not frozen like in the example where they are just watching a show and standing still).

Hey, What lights exist that you can do a strobe effect like this with, the flash itself is quite long (the movie was shot with a alexa xt (rolling shutter))? https://66.media.tumblr.com/d8f90e6a...ftfvo1_540.gif It seems that they are strobing it like it is atleast a 1/24th of a second. Probably a bit longer to avoid rolling shutter problems. I think they shot this with the lighting strikes paparazzi 8k. But I cannot seem to find this light in Europe, does anybody any other light that could do this? Any idea's? Thanks!

By all means I did not mean that the IQ, color, grading is hard. I meant that the files are big(I always need a lot of storage) and are a real struggle for my pc to edit (CPU and GPU wise) And also the workflow, having to transcode the footage or using mlvfs. It just takes more time and effort to edit a project.

Weird that people are finding that the c100 is better then the 5DIII RAW, as I find the opposite. I shoot with both, and 5D III ML RAW is a hassle in post production and disk space. But the IQ is so much more better to my eyes, yes it is soft. Thats why I like it. So it is good for narrative work, but not for your everyday hassle. I even find my 5D III RAW superior to my c300. (better colors due to 14bit, nice highlight roll off, but the c300 is way sharper). So I am waiting on the 5D IV, if magic lantern will be enabled on that camera. Then I could shoot everything with that camera. Use the 4K for everyday hassle shooting(and use 4K to have a sharper image then the 5d iii 1080p), and when I want to shoot som epic narrative stuff. I could enable RAW

Slow west was shot on ALEXA Classic camera with Panavision Primo vintage and Ultra Speed Z lenses according the DOP (they probably used it for some insert/action shots where the Alexa is too big for.)

well it depends on what camera you are shooting with, yeah if you shoot with a GH4 sure you dont need sharp lenses. if you shoot with a 5D then you best can get the sharpest lenses out there as the image is soft.

Well I shoot a lot at open apurtures at F1.4 at night , So I would need something that is sharp at 1.4 (or 1.8, max fstop 2.0)

Yeah I have a kowa bell and howell, that should be the sharpest cheap anamorphic out there. but if I start with a unsharp lens, it will not improve the sharpness overall. So I just want to make sure I got the sharpest lenses out there.

Well I would still like it to be sharp at least 2.0. Sharper at faster aputures like 1.4 or 1.8 is even better offcourse.

Hello, I am looking for taking lenses for my kowa bell and howell for my 5d iii. I have a canon 100mm 2.0. But I see that a lot of users are using FD, M42 lenses. Any really sharp lenses out there that you can recommend? Thanks!

Yeah too bad the Canon C100, C300 are not on the list.

Yeah the 5D III RAW is something else, I really love the look of the damned thing(I do miss 1080p 60fps). Lets hope on a 4K 5D IV that will get also MAGIC LANTERN RAW. Only the workflow and file sizes of the RAW files are such a headache. I know I wont shoot any b-roll because It eats too much damned disk space. Where the canon cinema line really puts down small files that look almost as good as the 5D III RAW files. So that is something to consider.

yeah What I love about these canon cinema camera's is the Internal ND's. They are just so damned easy to use on the field. People always disregard the C100, but is almost the same image as the C300. The c100 combined with a external recorder, the image is the same as the C300.(the only thing that sucks on the c100 is the screen and the viewfinder, but when you use a external monitor you got that sorted out. But you do kinda need to drag the external recorder/monitor along which not suit all needs + the lack of 60fps) And the c500 internal image is basically the came as the c300 without a external recorder.

Yeah, I have a fulltime job(not in film/media), so I dont have time for an internship. I can only learn stuff after my working hours or the weekends. Any sound designers in the Benelux area who don't mind learning me some stuff ?

Hello, I am looking to learn some sound design for commercials. Does anybody know some good tutorials. I am looking for something like where a whole commercial gets dissected and to see how the workflow should be. Why to do this kind of thing and that, and if you do this you could mix this. Like a high level workflow overview. I want to learn that first. After I get what the best workflow is, I would like to learn about the tools they are using. But I feel I should first get the bigger picture(how everything firts togheter nicely) then start learning a specific tool and not knowing how to implement it into a project. Thanks!

ah nice, this MLVFS thing works pretty good Thanks! Do you know how I can import all video's all at once in Resolve and Adobe Premiere? As I can only select one MLV at a time it seems. THANKS!

Hey, I have a lot of 5D III RAW Files that I want to convert to dng. But I can not seem to find a simple tool to batch convert all my raw mlv files. I have seen that there is software that converts them in a batch like RAW2CNDG but they just export every file in the same folder, which means when I try to import the converted RAW video, it imports every video in one big file instead of 30 seperate files, which makes it very hard to edit. What tool can you recommend (on windows 10). Or is there a option with RAW2CNDG? Thanks!

Yeah for me the Alexa is still king in 24fps narrative timeline image.
