    Star Wars AOTC 2002 only shot in 8 bit 1440x1080

    Internet is a funny place started here and @webrunner5 was talking about the Dalsa Origin... So I do som quick research Seems the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp Alice in wonderland was shot on it.

    Then some how I came across this... 

     

    This really raised my eyebrows as I used to work in at a Local CBS News station in the late 90's and from time to time the old timers would talk about the legend Christine Chubbuck 

    This happend a year before I was born...  Just thought this maybe interesting to any former news jockeys .

    The Full Movie is on Netflix (as of 2/12/18) I put it on my watch list. It got a 7+ on IMDB

    and now to bring it back to topic in someway shape or form it was shot on a Alexa  

     

    Viltrox EF M2 on BMMCC? Metabones alternative?

    In: Cameras

    Firstly Thank you for your service... so it just becomes as dumb speed booster huh?.... they all sold out from amazon and all the ebay orders are like 3 weeks estimated shipping  just to send back if it dosent work...(I dont have any other M43 cameras like a GH4 to use it on)  

    Perhaps they will work it out with a firmware update but they probably think the BMPCC market is small potatoes so there is no urgency. 

     

    Im experimenting with a different route

    Since.... I already have a nice selection of Canon FD lenses...

    50mm 1.4,

    80-200 F4 L,

    24mm 2.8,

    50mm Macro 3.5, 

    The only thing im missing is a wide so I found a FD 15mm 2.8 fish-eye (made in 1976?)   Got a Cheap $100 FD speed booster to MF3.... and this is by far the most money ive invested in a FD lens ($200) the classic wide angles are rare and not cheap.

    Cool thing is even with the speed booster there is very little distortion in the BMPCC image it kind of reminds you of anamorphic lenses that bow ever so slightly on the edges.  

    Still got 3 weeks to decide if I want to return it all and go and go Metabones+ a used Sigma 18-35 1.8 ( Friggin $800+)

    Cool thing is If I can find a cheapo A7S someday I have a pretty complete set for FULL Frame camera lenses ready for action!

     

    We shall see.   Thanks again for the news on the viltrox

     

     

    Some Guidance Please...

    Prob of no help to you and your current decision... but here anyway

    This if from a Few years ago this guy was using the URSA MAJOR (the big boy) and those can be had for 2k ish

     

    Im in similar situation but on a smaller scale.

    I got a super cheap BMPCC ($120) a year ago and now that viltrox has released a cheap Active MF3 speedbooster  ($150-$200)  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077VZN6F8/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_8?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A125U71SFEYM45

    I hear it works great on gh5's but no word on BMPCC yet.

    Im thinking about selling or trading my NX 50-150 S Lens to get my hands on an EF Sigma 18-35 and build up from there.  Learn and work with a real raw workflow,  get about 3-4 ef Lenses (mostly Sigma) and Ill seemingly have the option to go anywhere as the defacto mount seems to be Canon on all cameras.

    I get your point about BM cameras sometimes I take the BMPCC with me when shooting on NX1 and just shoot a few sec raw... Then  grade that and make a look and use that as a template to match my NX-1 footage too

    You know those macro extension tubes sold cheaply on line? Well, they actually maintain electronic control with native NX glass and could be a perfect candidate to retrofit a diffusion filter inside whilst gaining macro ability and keeping AF/Aperture communication intact. 

    ah indeed I have this very extension tube burred somewhere around here but its fairly flimsy would not trust dangling either S-Lenses off it with out a with out rails and a brace 

    my 30mm, 16mm, 45mm pancakes will do fine.

    this could be feasible use one section for Low contrast filter... and the other we just have to devise some sort of pseudo Internal adjustable ND Filter :thumbsup:

    DIY In-Camera Filter... Dangerous, Stupid or both?

    I have a filter I enjoy using 90% of the time and I started thinking... what if I just cut it perfectly and popped it in front of the sensor (not thinking permanent) 

    I have a NX1- and it seems to have the clearance to do so from the back of my S- lenses to the sensor... (my Rokonon 12mm is not tho the rear glass is bulbous and protrudes out quite a bit Guess its how they made it so wide but still can take a screw on filter)

    Its seems like it would solve some problems of not flaring as much and I can rock any lens.... 

    I have a NX 10 collecting dust I could use as a test subject 

     

    this guy did something similar but made his infrared (and said he destroyed its ability to shoot normal) 

    I was just thinking I could put it and remove it with Tweezers 

    http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Permanent-Infrared-DSLR-Camera/

     

    Main worries are if a little piece of sand gets in between them some how it will become sandpaper and grind the sensor

    and wtf would happen if I triggered the Manual Shutter  (could switch to e shutter)

    I have an INTP personality so im always thinking of crazy shit...

    any thoughts on this one?

    That issue aside, look how many stops you gained, I would at least say 1-3 easily

    Im not sure but I like the look...

    My Director friend is always Giving me grief because I don't mega crush the blacks. I guess Ive been hanging out here too long... We go through all that effort to capture as much dynamic range as possible and then throw all the low end away?  

    I Have my blacks just touching zero on most shots.

    One thing about this Shot is its Normal DR... Perhaps I could get more with GAMMA DR enabled or it could be severe overkill

    Also this is straight from the H.265 file in resolve

    Perhaps I could squeeze more quality out if I convert to Prores SQ or HQ 

    As far as a matte box im going to try to snipe one thats worth $150-$250 brand new for around $75 on ebay... patience is key...I have more time than money. 

    Generally I feel January is a buyers market... a lower percentage of people are shopping because most blew their financial wad on holiday spending. 

    My Christmas is just beginning :glasses:

    THIS! This is exactly the avenue I'm researching. Just look how much smoother the highlights are rolling off with the filter applied? You're not getting that harsh/high specular. Very creamy, and filmic.

    Now try to diffuse your light sources and watch what happens. RED territory baby! ?

    I'm looking at a Soft FX 1/2 / Black Mist Pro 1/4 combo right now. Amazon has the Soft FX in 76mm for $27 right now.

    I'm so happy you posted this. 

    Hey Thanks im glad it helped you... No to much action anymore here. I come every day to check this forum and this is the first post in like 5 days!

    If interested here is some video grabs from NX-1+Tiffen Low Light Ultra Contrast

    5a4347546ac2e_AndyOOC2_1_22.4.thumb.jpg.34d42ff4e82bba771efad76bbeded5d1.jpg

    Its supposed to be a low light filter but I used it in Noonish sunlight... but check out that MEGA Green cast it puts on it.... This is out of camera

    Grades nicely though

    Its a pain using these without a lens hood and or a fullfleged Matte Box  Letting it get flared is bad unless that's your artistic choice

    Im cheap so I found a used one of these

    https://www.amazon.com/Cinetactics-MB100M-Rugged-protection-carrying/dp/B01GU8MAHG

    I got mine for $20 but this one is $14 on amazon whats good about it is its light and it folds flat in your bag when you dont need it. it can also hold an 4x4 filter  If you have an S-Lens you need a 100mm to 72mm step ring to strap strap it too... Just tightens with velcro like a weight lifting gloves

    Got my eyes peeled trying to find a cheap Real matte box  and getting a 4x4 Filter and be done with screwing on and off filters and rotating your ND filter just to have you cheap Matte Box upside down and have to fix it.

    Interesting findings I salute your effort... So buying high end canon gear is like putting your money the bank

    I don't mind but I think @Kisaha  Will be very disappointed you didn't include the NX-1 and NX500 :grin:

    The prices are pretty unbelievable. I think you'll be surprised 

    If you have never heard of it has its own Sub Forum in this very site!
