Sure things, you can go the analog route and work directly on the celluloid with anything you have around you, from blades to markers and a round trip to any burning devices (no limit on creativity here)
I would recommend to take a look at the great animation of Norman McLaren.

Side note : A good friend was working with this technique, buried the film in his garden for few weeks or month, then "cleaned" and added some detergent and soap to make organic and fluid shapes while projecting the result.
If AE scares you, hire someone. Plenty of AE people looking for jobs those days.

My guess : After effects for the most part, a little bit of 3d (the seashell) and some hand scribble at the end.

Tomography image sequence is cool.

Why not make a C70 competitor, with everything, plus those streaming capabilities?

 

 

 

Because they want to keep the price low and target a large audience in need of quality webcam, remote video, streaming, live event.
If you look at the specs with a GH6 replacement in mind it's confusing. But as a new product to cover Covid19 streaming demand, it could be a "smart" product. A GH5s sensor in a box to keep R&D low and that's it !!!
Target is not C70 or Komodo users.

Ethernet - Wifi - Bluetooth - Timecode - Genlock - SDI + form factor
Sound like a camera to cover streaming event.

Panasonic is making a camera to cover filming in a pandemic situation, not a GH5 replacement.

No offense at all, because I agree with you. It's just...
Youtuber with 1M+ subscribers are running a business and they need to maintain their numbers of views. See the video title "The TRUTH About CANON’s EOS R5 OVERHEATING Controversy".
Disinformation, controversy, marketing are money maker for those channels. You can point out their ambiguity. Doesn't matter, because they have followers.
Personally, I am not interested with Polin verbal diarrhea.

It is exactly this kind of attitude that normalizes and ultimately rewards the behaviour of these shills. By letting them get away with it. 
 

 

Sure things. But the reality is Polin channel has 1.23M subscribers. Tony and Chelsea 1.41M . McKinnon 4.86M subscribers.
Did you see a Panasonic or Fujifilm review on Polin channel ? No, because if your serious about photography it's either Canon or Nikon, right ? Leica, Hasselblad, Phase One, Alpa ??? What's that .... never heard of.
You want to educate people!!! Good luck with that. It's a job, and a difficult one.

Cool down Andrew, popular Youtube channels are making the show to get views, we all know that.

Youtube entertainer/photographer talking about moving images... we have to take theirs opinions with a grain of salt.

Well that's a cynical way to look at it. How did you think Steve McCurry started photojournalism? Are you really suggesting there is something wrong with anyone photographing what's going on in their own towns and cities... their own country. If they want to use an ND let them. Let them use anything they like, I don't see the problem with it. You don't know the most important thing - their intention. If some of them are 'tourists' out for social media likes, then so be it... people are people... but you can't tarnish everyone with the same brush.

If you consider the work of Steve McCurry, photojournalism, then the discussion will be complicate.

Frontline riot photographer...what is that ? Wedding photographer, I know... but Frontline riot photographer.
"...I'm risking my life to cover this story (gunshots, rocks, fire, tear gas, etc.)"
I think it's the etc. that pose a problem here. Anyone with a camera "feel the need to document" the riot. So cool, you don't have to travel to war zone like Syria or Yemen to be in the boots of a photojournalist, just go downtown, to get a shot of adrenaline. The smell of tear gas is so exciting my dear ! Do you think I should take a ND filter, because yesterday I couldn't focus well with the flash grenade. No joke, last time I saw on the news, a lady with a gimbal running with the protesters. Next is what ? slow mo with a Phantom ? 360 VR ?
The same people are taking pictures of homeless, you know...to document poverty. All of that, to feed social media and get followers. Pathetic.

When you introduce yourself saying:
Frontline riot photographer.
"...I'm risking my life to cover this story (gunshots, rocks, fire, tear gas, etc.)"
it's an insult to photojournalist who died, doing their job.

Still confuse of the difference between Pro mist or Black satin ? They sound really similar ?

I keep coming back to this myself. The 18-35mm with a ProMist has nearly as much mojo as a vintage 18mm, 24mm, 28mm, and 35mm set at a far smaller cost.

Well, there is no shortage of them, that I can tell.

There is Tiffen Black Diffusion/FX and Schneider Radiant Frost, which (according to David Mullen) soften the image with minimal halation added.

 

 

Not to mention a whole lot of Satins (Black Satin!), etc.

Some good read here: https://www.thebroadcastbridge.com/content/entry/4071/its-time-sharpen-your-diffusion

 

And last, but not least, a handy diagram from Tiffen:

 

Someone already named it "Triangle of CONFUSION" and I think this term is extremely on point.

Then what the recommendation for the Sigma 18-35mm - Promist or Black satin ? and what flavor  1 -  2 -  3  - 1/8  - 1/4 ?

I've just got myself a JINBEI EFII-60 from Ali which costs as much as Godox sl60w around 160$, has same 60w power output.. but lighter, quieter and does.. 11000 lux at 1 meter vs 4100 on Godox. And it works from Sony NP-F batteries out of the box ? Waiting for my softbox to arrive to conduct some actual tests. They have 100, 150, 200 watt models as well but they dont support np-f batteries.

Seems like a new value king for me.

Curious about the noise level with this one.

Are there any "hacks" like this for the GX8? 

GX8 has CineLike D settings include.

Hi, congrats to all the participants. The reveal is really entertaining.

My story: Based on recent improvement with Magic Lantern I purchased an EOS M to do some experiment a month ago, then the EOSHD challenge appeared (but with the Magic Lantern restriction ?).

The EOS M was $150, still $50 left for the lens.
The easy choice was a Canon FD, Minolta Rokkor, or the mighty soviet Helios or any vintage lens under $50. But I wanted to try something "different" to stay on the challenge track. A round trip to my treasure chest (my wife has a different name for that box) and I found something quite interesting, an enlarger lens : Beseler-HD 50mm 2.8 - I remember paying something around $30 max. but after checking the invoice and I actually payed $9 + $8 shipping - Then ordered an adapter in Russia - M42x1 to Canon EOS-M for $25.
After 2 weeks, I received a snail mail with some nice Russian stamps and the adapter inside the letter. Added a 17-31 helicoid for focusing infinity and voila an unusual bokeh. Cheers.

Almost looks like a Helios but dialed back a bit.

Sorry,  it's not a modified or regular Helios.

Funny,  it's sounds like a TV show game,

and now behind the curtain I will reveal the mystery lens...  it's a...  wait,  I cannot say anything until Monday 5th August at 20:00 GMT+0.

Very interesting, unusual Bokeh on this shot (for my eyes at least). I wonder what lens created that... Nice grading too!

 

Indeed, a very "special" lens. I confirm you have very good eyes for unusual Bokeh and will have a surprise during the reveal. Without saying too much, I can say it's a 50 mm.
