Deep Trench Isolation sounds like some sort of PTSD from the First World War.
I believe Ebrahim used a Pyramid Surface Diffractor to collect his money from Western Union without ID.

H265 files for import are supported.
I believe you can not export in H265.
@BTM_Pix I had to do a very simple and small 5 sec/5MB video for use on a site, so I did the exact same on my gaming laptop (i7/16GB RAM/1060 6GB) and the 8GB RAM Surface Go.
I used 4K H265 footage from NX1 cameras.
I have no clue how the new CUT function works, so I did it in the traditional way.
The export took 8seconds on the laptop and around 30seconds on the Surface Go. 
It is not ideal, but honestly I was expecting much worst. Certain things are possible.

I think the price drops from Nikon and Canon are probably reflective of slow body sales due to people hesitating over buying into a new lens mount as much as they are about the bodies not being interesting enough.
Both systems launched with pretty underwhelming native lens lineups that offered no enticement to anyone to make the switch if they could only get their current lens ranges via adapters.
Most of us on here have no problem being early adopters and using adapters but I'm not sure its a view shared by the larger camera buying public.
I think that Panasonic may well be walking straight into the same problem unless Sigma get those native L mount lenses out pretty sharpish.

Your glasses, I’m afraid. This beach is where horseshoe crabs lay their eggs once a year, so there are hundreds, if not thousands of birds there. Speaking of, here’s a repost from the Canon 24-70mm f/4 from an early shot from my film that takes advantage of this time of year.

I've been staring at this and wondering if they are birds.
Do I need to clean my glasses or do you need to clean your sensor?

But since I sent out the Canon FD 50mm L to be modified, I found a dirt cheap Samyang 50mm 1.4. And as much as I like the Canon FD, I'm unsure if I like it 3x more than the Samyang...
 
Both were shot around f/2 and both have my hatchet job color grade... lol.

That’s pretty much my assessment too. The FD is a better built lens with better color separation, naturally, but the Samyang seems sharper, naturally, with possibly an easier path for me to get a more neutral modern look. 
Another plus of the Samyang, which seems overlooked in lens tests, is that it has some focus leeway between 15-30 feet... making it much easier to track your subject.
Also, for the price of the Canon, I can have the Samyang 50mm 1.4 and 24mm 1.4... that has to play into my decision a little. Or a lot. 
Btw, here’s another shot from the Samyang that was taken at the same time of day, with a more similar grade...

If you go on that BM forum you could probably sell half of them and fund the purchase !

Haha, interesting idea. I saw a Micro sell for $450 last month. I was about to order it after I went to the bathroom... let’s just say number two cost me one really cheap Micro.

Just as a cautionary FYI about this is that there is some weird shit going on with SD cards for these cameras now.
I pulled my Pocket out to do something with it and it didn't recognise any of the SD cards (Sandisk Pro and Extreme ones off the approved list) that I put in it. Had a bit of a search and it turns out something changed at the Sandisk end that has caused their new cards to be permanently incompatible with these cameras but also with the Video Assist.
Sony changed the firmware in their cameras to accomodate the change but BM haven't and are not really showing any intention of.
The thread I found was long and alarming as people were buying and returning all manner of cards trying to find any that would work with them without any success.
It now seems to have boiled down to only one card that you can buy new that will work in them (a Sony one ironically) so make sure you have some available!

If you want timecode sync of the Ninja V you can use their AtomX Sync add on module if you are within the wireless timecode ecosystem of products from Timecode Systems like pulse: and UltraSync One.
If Atomos ever actually release it of course.

LT storage rate is just over 40% of HQ so roughly 2.5x the record time per TB.

The second camera is the Sony X3000 though.
In its (I'm guessing) primary role as a second angle its not issue but even in 'selfie' mode its plenty wide enough and small enough sensor to get in focus shots without needing too much reach. Well for a normal human that doesn't have T-Rex arms like me it is anyway  
For what its worth, though, if @kye was open to suggestions about alternative cameras (which I appreciate that he isn't), I agree with your earlier one that the camera I would be using for something like this would be the Osmo, not least because it has a screen but also because it can be driven remotely by a travel companion from a smartphone, something which opens up a ton of additional possibilities to squeeze additional coverage from a fixed position as do the automated tracking options. I'd mount it on a flat bar in the hotshoe but mount the bar facing forward so it overhangs the top of the GH5 lens to give distance back to yourself when its in selfie mode.
Mounted in one of these brackets (which has a 1/4 20 mount in the base) its really fast to take it out to use it standalone as well.

 

New picture I took with the FD 35-105 F/3.5. I'm trying to make my pictures look like paintings.

You're talking like I haven't already got a hacksaw, some wires, a few switches and the good old epoxy out

thank you!
lol exactly
i hear ya.
i basically decided that since so much of this short is about sleep, i wanted to show that my way, insofar as not like this

although shows get away with this shit all the time, and i understand why, im not an idiot, people want to see the actors faces ? but this doesnt feel dark to me, sleepy dark time feels
(a) dark
and 
(b) low contrast
so i went with that.
in the first shot, i wanted the young man to wake up ~in the dark~. he cant sleep. so, that being said, this IS supposed to be dark af, darker than anyone goes on almost anything

i just saved the above .png screengrab from quicktime, put it online, and tumblr compressed it, but look how much you can still pull out of it

this image gives you an idea of what the original exposure looked like. i would post stuff from my resolve file, but after imac broke its gonna take a couple days to put that timeline back together again, but u guys have inspired me im totally gonna do it...!
your assumption is correct~!
yes, i said to myself, Self, what is 5d3 raw GOOD at?
well, COLOR. DEEP, RICH color. its good at... looking kinda filmic, way more lo-fi and analog compared to say, a gh5, right? totally different look. so that was my idea: make it look like that, to exploit the strengths of what ml raw is good at, and avoiding its weaknesses whenever possible in my shots. that was kinda the plan
liike i said, you guys might be somewhat interested in what i did with the color creatively, so when i get the resolve project back together ill post some stuff. i mean, a lot of how this looks is the grade u know
in general tho, i simply exposed for the highlights i wanted, and ALL the dark shots have been graded down in post, some WAY down, to avoid the noise of high ISOs. that worked – i did zero denoising in post, and i shot up to ISO 6400. yes. that exposure looks like absolute shit, with all the noise youd expect from ml raw at that iso, but like i said i reduced the exposure SO much that all that just disappeared~! lol i kno it sounds crazy but i did some tests before hand and it worked fine, and it allowed me to shoot the whole thing with practical/natural lighting~! ☺️
 
oh, i have a great answer for this – the actor in the first shot posted an even less finished version online EVERYWHERE – and called it a "trailer" for his own movie. he knew i was furious, wouldnt answer my calls or messages, and i had to do like 6 dmca things against him. sooooo he can go fuck himself
 
SO MUCH. i mean where do i even start? the main thing is that doing ALLLLLLL this by yourself, with NO ONE TO HELP YOU AT ALL ON "SET"... is insane? its too hard, you start to fall apart, forget things, cant think straight, etc. its a surreal level of stress... sooo i wouldnt do that again without at least ONE person to be a general PA/script supervisor. that was a bad idea and im ~lucky~ things turned out the way they did, but again all this is much easier said that done when you have ~no money~
my main epiphany about making this lil thing is that JUST DOING IT has been SO empowering to me, because NOW I FEEL LIKE A FILMMAKER. i can be a shitty filmmaker, a lil baby filmmaker, but im sure af not an imaginary filmmaker. not anymore! and you CANT make a second film until you make a first film~! so my SECOND and THIRD films are already in development! wow!!! amazin @ Zach
the OTHER thing is the process, that you just need to complete to see as a whole: from start to finish, writing, storyboards, casting, locations, etc etc, post, color, vfx, sound....... i see the gestalt of it now, and thats huge. hard to explain, i just "get" it, so im rlly looking forward to doing better in the future
 
that would be the above post, talking about ISOs and so on... ill pull some shots from the actual grade tho, might be fun~! will do soon!
nothing else worked brilliantly. everything else ~kinda~ worked pretty good lol.
oh, one thing: i literally shot this in 2.39 to
(A) save data
and
(b) hide my feet in the first shot, i kid you not ?

For the price of an iPad and iPhone I got my phone, Surface Go and a gaming laptop. Do not know why you have to bring Apple to everything we talk here.
These foldables are quite expensive now, but in 3 years they will be quite mainstream. I am sure there will be an iFold in a couple of years, more expensive than anything else and you will jump to it like is the greatest thing ever!
What @BTM_Pix said, and I have expressed before, is that Samsung with 4.6"/7.3" are too small for a smart phone/tablet and the whole concept would be more interesting/practical if it was a tablet, becoming a super tablet.
Phones are big enough already, and small tablets are not selling very well - if at all, but 10-13" devices are becoming very popular productive tools and they sell easily for 1000 and up to more than 2000$€£, so foldable prices already..

I was always more interested in the Huawei one when it and the Samsung version were first announced.
I'm not sure as a phone really but my interest was in them in a tablet form factor that folded out into a more laptop sized version. 
I can see much more potential in them for that.

The old 'tape over the contacts' trick has made a comeback !
Manual focus and locked aperture but at least it mounts and I can see some enterprising 3rd party making a cheap semi-smart adapter now that has aperture control.

Just to say - for those that dont know (like I didnt) - it is actually possible to send A7iii/A7riii videos to the ipad pro via usb-c (to usb-c) - you send directly from the camera.
1. Set the usb connection on the A7iii to MTP.
2. Turn off usb power supply.
Connect the ipad. If your card is relatively full it may well give a 'no photos to import' message but it is just taking its time to read the card. You import via the photos app. Import time are painfully slow - 8MB/sec - so I timed a 1.9gb file at 4 minutes to transfer
