xzobinx got a reaction from kye in Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K
Sigma 18-35 f1.8 and rokinon 85 f1.4 for sharp mordern look
MIR 35f2, helios 58f2 and helios 85f1.5 for vintage dreamy look. I might add a MIR 20mm f3.5 to complete this set.
I blamed @kye for the second set. He’s responsible for a quite a few good things in my life lately. Boys, it came out so wrong?

xzobinx reacted to Anaconda_ in The 3-hour 1-minute Film Challenge
Here's my effort, and to help anyone who might be thinking something fishy went on, the first clip I shot was at 10:02 - and I exported the edit at 11:10 ( screen shots attached ) - No animals were hurt in the making of this film, just one carrot.

Ok, here's my first effort.
Filmed on a iPhone, audio recorded on iPhone headphones supplied with iPhone, editing, voice-over and grading done in Resolve.
I've never done a voice-over before, so a big chunk of my time was spent figuring out how to do it, and then trying to work out how to make Resolve do it, including reading tutorials etc.
I even came up with the idea for it in the three hour window, so that's cool too.
ah crap. Just realised mine is way longer than 1 minute!
oh well.

I'm planning on making a proper go at this today, but totally dependant on a nap - 3 hours might prove a stretch, but we'll see.
Until I can post that though, here's something I made a few weeks ago to test a Resolve workflow. Similarly to @xzobinx, it's spoken word and people watching, although mine is a lot more pretentious.

This is the official start (and maybe quick death!) of the......
3 Hour 1 Minute Film Challenge!!!1
The rules:
You setup, shoot, edit, and upload a film in a single 3-hour period - no gaps, once you start the timer you can't stop it again The final film must be 1 minute or less If your finished film looks too good then others can challenge you about the 3-hour time limit and you must explain yourself to keep your reputation in tact There are no prizes, no timeframes, and no judging Everyone that makes a film and publishes it is a winner, people that don't try are losers, and people that try but fail should learn from their mistakes and just try again There are no more rules FAQ:
Can I plan things in advance?
Yes.
What limits are there for budget, cast size, crew size, and number of otters making cameos?
None.
Why are you doing this?
Why not?
No, really.. why?
We learn by trying new things, finishing and sharing them. Too many people obsess over tiny things and never get anything done. This challenge is designed to combat that.
What advice do you have?
You can be an extra special winner if you:
Publish in 720p - equipment shouldn't matter and if your film looks dull in 720 then 4K will not save you Try new things and experiment - think of this as going to the gym for film-makers where you can push yourself to learn and if it fails then who cares (it was only 3 hours right?) Encourage others by being helpful and supportive Have cameos from otters Film a timelapse as a BTS so others can see how you did it - an action camera is a good choice for this*
(* if you wear it on your person, please remember to turn it off when you visit the bathroom) Invite friends over to help Focus on having fun and enjoying the process (having so much fun you didn't finish the film in time is also a kind of winning) Call your mother (after you've hit upload) It sounds like fun but I don't know where to start?
Set a timer for 1-hour, plan the video, when the timer runs out, reset it and shoot, when the timer runs out, reset it for 45 minutes and edit, when the timer runs out hit export, then upload.
Then have lunch, put in a fresh battery and SD card, then start the timer again....
I look forward to seeing the first films posted below in about 3 hours time.

I have been doing quite a bit of raw testing and so far so good. Has anyone worked out a good braw workflow yet?
Some still grab from my test yesterday (SOOC all metadata, no sharpening added):

as a fellow oz I know your pain. If you don't have an external monitor or rig and just want a cheap sun hood, I'd recommend getting these

here is something for you. Can't remember the setting on top of my head but you can read the metadata. Not the best clip but hope it fits the bill.

xzobinx got a reaction from Emanuel in Blackmagic Pocket 4K media & power thread -- the best alternatives
I do. I don’t promote stuff that I haven’t used.
The issue is Tea is a one man band. And it’s the wedding season atm in Australia which is his main business.
I can vouch for the guy and his after sale service. He replaced my faulty unit within a week so I’m a happy camper.
here is my run and gun setup

I can confirm that the battery doesn't drain with the power off or at least not in short amount of time. If you leave it overnight, the result might differ. And after 6.1, I could get pretty consistent 55 min - 1 hour of use for each battery.
As for time to power on: 3-4 seconds. Time to power off: 2-3 seconds

Braw drop start from 15:30 mark. It's finally here.
DNG Raw will be removed and replaced by BM raw. I have never been a big fan of DNG raw anw.

xzobinx reacted to Flogbox in Fuji X-T3 and X-T4 discussion
Picked up the Fuji X-T3. Bribed my daughter with Maccas to model for a few minutes. No face or eye detect because i was rushing and just didn't think about it. You will see a few spots where it loses focus for a split second but if i had face tracking on at least i'm sure it would have been fine.
Hopefully i uploaded the clip correctly.

fan noise is cheap and easy to fix. I haven't done it myself since it never bothers me that much.
as for colour this guy has shown it pretty good in this video.
even though godox is the one I'm using atm and being quite a bit cheaper. I'd vote for boltzen 55w due to the size and weight.
