I love the video light, I guess you get really smooth, unoffensive looking footage with it. I find many top lights are way too harsh.

Not mine, but there’s some sample footage in this video. -

Ah of course, somehow I was thinking about the film mechanism while reading shutter system. My bad. -
Raspberry Pi Releases an Interchangeable-lens Camera Module

The problem is, the sensor will need to be exactly where the film is, but it’s obviously thicker than film, so some things for sure need to be taken out. Im bracing myself for total disassembly and partial reassembly after testing. like I say though, got to get a trigger working before any of that. -
Raspberry Pi Releases an Interchangeable-lens Camera Module
Anaconda_ replied to androidlad's topic in Cameras
My camera and Pi has arrived and I'm happy to say it's going to fit very nicely in a (broken and unusable) Bolex B8 - by my calculations, the sensor size is similar to that of 8mm film, so I'm planning on taking off the C-mount from the sensor and placing to look through the D-mount lenses on the camera. Which will also let me hang onto the turret system. As my camera is already broken, I'm going to have to gut it, so it's essentially the most hipster RPi case around, but I'm fine with that. There's tonnes of room for a power bank etc. to keep everything nicely held inside. Can possibly keep the mechanism too so I can make cool noises while filming. I just need to wrap my head around some buttons and switches. I'm quite digging the idea of opening the side of the camera to turn the system on and off every time, but definitely need a trigger on the outside of the casing. I'm also toying with the idea of setting 15 second record limits to really embrace the annoyance of a wind-up system. When all is said and done, it's going to look something like this: -

I'm in the process of filling a shopping basket to get this delivered in the next few days... I'm totally new to Pi life, but from what I've read, getting the camera setup seems fairly easy. I already have a couple c-mount lenses and an SD card, so to start out I'm just buying the pi, the camera and a case (it's like €6 so I might as well get it now with the free shipping) I am having a spot of trouble finding how to wire up a hardware button. Ideally it'll be like a trigger, hold it down to record, let it go to stop. Can someone point me in the right direction? -

I'd love it if someone to built this into an 8mm camera body and wire the trigger up to start/stop recording. The VF doesn't even need to work - or better yet, make it some kind of rangefinder. Also, here's the first still image from the camera (As far as I know) -

Don't forget tax isn't included in he marked price in US. Not sure on the maths, but I think that will close the gap a little..

In Holland it's €2249, so a little less than CVP. https://www.kamera-express.nl/product/12312244/blackmagic-design-pocket-cinema-camera-6k-c/?channable=e27102.MTIzMTIyNDQ&zoek=pocket 6k&

If you put a link here I can make a Premiere project for you (Providing FCP3 projects open in FCP7)

You could just do FCP7 - XML - Adobe PP You'll lose any keyframes / opacity / audio work etc. - but the base edit should still translate fairly well.

Will more festivals follow suit? https://www.sxsw.com/film/2020/amazon-prime-video-presents-the-sxsw-2020-film-festival-collection/ Cannes, perhaps the biggest film festival around has a big problem with streaming services, but I think it's about time they change their mind. Could this be the start? or even the end?

The you should check this out! Also in one room... Imagine the mathematics that went into timing everything! Speaking of maths to work out the timing, how about this one: Behind the Scenes:

Rode have recently released the WS11 - the dead-cat specifically for the VideoMic NTG.

Tried using my phone as a remote shutter, but it kept dropping the connection. Thanks for the kind words, and all the best to your daughter. Couldn’t imagine the feeling of walking into a hospital right now. Thankfully she’ll also be bringing people out of the hospital.

Let's get this thing started then. Here's my entry. All hand held and in natural light (except for one shot, no points for guessing which one) Filmed in less than an hour, paid for by a beaming little face when the finished project was ready to watch.

I’m for sure bag, water, milk, sometimes biscuit. But the experts say that’s wrong. But those experts are actually wrong according to the folks at Yorkshire Tea

The real question is - milk before or after the water?

How does this LUT compare to the @Juan Melara 's LUT? And then how do they compare to the powergrade?

I know the XT4 has a hardware switch for video photo, but so does the XT3, it's just in a different place. I'm hoping that add this over to the XT3, surely it's only software. Silent control is all well and good, but I still want my aperture ring to work in movie mode. (or the scroll wheel to change aperture on lenses without a ring). In fact, the only thing I want to change when I switch from still to video is the shutter speed to default to 1/50. Ideally all other dials, switches and wheels should stay operable. Touch controls suck.

Many V-Mounts have USB out, so that solves the power problem... Hopefully there's some kind of auto turn vibration off feature when you plug in the HDMI. Getting a text midway through a shot could ruin the take.
