At this time there isn't an 0.95 that covers full frame. So, the pair that do (35/0.95 an 50/0.95) cover S35/APS-C and APS-H will give the appearance of DOF similar to 135 (Full Frame/5D). That's one reason to use it, hyper thin focus. Also, ISO isn't always the solution to lowlight...

Blackmagic Cinema Camera Sony F3/F5/F55 I think those are the only two that are 1080 422 capable what you can attach an 0.95 to. I've got a 25/0.95 I use with my Blackmagic-MFT: https://vimeo.com/63493548 A good portion of the night stuff's the 25/0.95 SLRMagic on BV1-MFT.

5DIII RAW aliasing is increased, moire seems to be decently tamed but I suspect that comes from ACR auto noise reduction again. You can see the aliasing in MK3 RAW here: https://vimeo.com/66228674 There's really no free awesome, it seems. I'm already exhausted with just reading about it, and...

One of the BMC forum members' noise reduction setup, through a layer node (one is luma, one is saturation, reduce the noise on the saturation node) and then set the composite to add. You can adjust how much you remove. The worst case scenarios need a fair amount, some need very little. It's...

Most of those images are beta images. Compare if one must, just wanted to throw that out there. From BV1/Blackmagic, I mean. It will definitely be more resolute, which is what you're seeing. Sharpness is something different. This test is flawed. Shooter had little idea what he was doing...

Oi... Well should be no surprise that without the dough, things start to crawl. And, especially if you're in WAY over your head. Today I have the first DVD screener: Next week will probably bring the longest and darkest days ever, but it's still kind of neat seeing an actual DVD of this...

Thousands likely will not happen, and certainly not within a month. Again, even larger manufacturers do not ship that kind of volume initially.

Shipping in "volume" immediately typically isn't even possible for major manufacturers, for one reason or another. The initial run of cameras that will be very popular are smaller than the customer base. You couldn't get a C300 without a wait, you couldn't get a GH3 without a wait, but each of...

A short is almost nothing like undertaking a feature film, and any savvy investor will likely require that most of your team's composed of people who have done a few feature films, especially a sound set of Producers. The good thing about shorts is that they're just shorts, and you don't have...

Sorry, man. I disagree completely. Cinematography is not hard. Some people make it out to be this grande chore and yeah, there are great Cinematographers that do amazing work, they'll tell you that most of cinematography is production design (locations, etc). I've seen first timers on vimeo...

Surprised this thread is still going... then, again, maybe I am not. Here's a reality that's as true as "sound is important"... sound is expensive. In my opinion, it's far more troublesome to do a decent post audio job than it is to do anything else aside from decent visual effects. If you...

I know you're being literal when you say "film", but the industry is a bit more vast than just film. Film Business and "Industry Professional" (both silly classifications, really) are also two different things. The industry includes broadcast media as well. Also, there aren't many but there...

I know several, in fact one of the people I consider a mentor Directs, Ops, DPs, and he works consistantly for major record labels shooting music videos. I also know a few who Direct, Op, and DP their own narrative and commercial content. Some get hired because of that. What I think you mean...

Boy you're snarky most of the time. OP Had a pretty valid question: Clint Eastwood operates, Robert Rodriguez, Tarantino has done it, lots of well known directors will grab the camera. It's directly related to acquiring the visual story, which is the primary function of motion picture. No one...

Nope, apparently it was this way in the theater, as well. It's on Netflix (if you have it)... check it out. I always thought BUBBLE wasn't up to sound so to speak, now that I understand more about the process I'd be interest in checking it out again to see what I think. SOLARIS is definitely...
