    DOC: The Anything Box - Personal Documentary Project

    Hi all - A few years back I captured all of the home movies and short films that I taped in high school, and whittled down the 24 hours to around 3 or so. My plan was to share it with the friends who featured prominently in them, but covid got in the way, and it just sat for the last few years...

    Is the HMC150 still a viable option for documentary work?

    I'm thinking about picking one up on eBay, and I'm curious to hear your input. Is it impractical given the current crop of tools available? I like everything about it, I just wonder if going the 720p route when everything else is headed 4k might be me looking backwards a bit. The big seller...

    Do some lenses cause more aliasing than others?

    I recently rented a canon 28mm 1.8, and shot some b/w low light tests. On previous tests with my 50mm 1.8 I saw little to no serious aliasing, but was blown away by the jagginess of the footage filmed with the 28mm. All camera settings other than the monochrome were according to hoyle...

    Pure Cinema film theory discussion...or something.
