Are you full time trader now? That's awesome you self taught and are onto something else. I'll never be an in house videographer, I'd just move to a completely different field. It's funny, I think videos as a medium are still valuable, but how they're framed seems more important than the...

Do you care or have any interest for camera tech at this stage? If I left, I imagine I’d completely stop caring about any developments. Maybe I’d do a yearly speed run of all articles on newsshooter.

To me, if the sony lets you get shots the BM can't, which in turn makes for a stronger project, then that's the tool to use. Inversely, if you're after the best absolute IQ and can get by with BM usability shortcomings, then there's no question BM is the better option. It's much of muchness at...

I was responding to Filippo, I know how you feel about the cameras for that type of work! I think it's just back to the question of comfort during the process vs net benefit, and where you land. The biggest adjustment using the pyxis 6k from the c200 was using manual lenses and ND. Like a RED...

Even the BM cinema camera 6k looks as good as anything from the fx5. Moving up, other than lowlight, the pyxis 12k has an objectively better image than the fx5. Buying accessories from scratch makes BM a more expensive overall package, but the body itself is cheaper. The fx5 will for sure become...

I wonder why they bought 3!

Not good, I also wonder it it's a sign of things to come with other manufacturers.

I can't see the link...

I'm sure many rental companies feel they don't have much choice. I still don't think it's a good business model. I'd say athenas and vespid 1 onwards was a point in time where the more accessible cinema lenses became good enough, so it's still early days. I just don't see how buying all three...

Thanks @Filippo Chiesa. Did you do anything to talent's face in resolve? I've seen lots of AI-esque sharpening recently with YT videos, but just wondering how much you did in post. It looks like you've applied a face effect, which is neither here nor there, just wondering if that's true? The...

I understand the 6k and other entry level price reductions, but the Pyxis is 12k and fx5 are so far apart in terms of how they approach images. I guess everyone is competing but they seem like opposite ends of the spectrum.

Speaking of, price reduced 12k, likely not permanent: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products

Are you saying it just came to you, so you went with it? If the show had a much larger budget, how would that have shown itself? Were there singular nice-to-haves ready to go, or would it just be a top up across the board?

It's a pretty smart product release. We'll see how the early adopters fare!

I’m so sorry, I know you’ve mentioned it here over the years but didn’t realise it’s still impacting you today :|. I hope you enjoy the format of the regular job - don’t take work home, no 10pm texts asking about light stands, being able to go to the bathroom whenever you want! That’s great...
