Thanks for stopping by MacGregor (and for your 2c). Nice flick btw!(no doubt about!)
If YOU (all the readers) want to keep this thread open and continue to discuss (and learn) is OK.
As long as nobody will have a different view about the editing's "side FX", the learning experience was great and beneficial to all. I will hold on the lenses till we all have an unanimously agreement (and I might upgrade the first prise from the 1.4/50 to a set of gears if the winner accepts it ! ! !) EVERYONE did a very good job, thank you all for participating.:love4:
I am very busy finalizing Felix (production unit) and I will not have the time to check back very often, sorry.
In terms of G35, my business partners and I decided not to share the movement with the G35 team (to avoid competition) but bring to you the original product (redesigned from the ground up by me, without any inspiration from any other image converters on the market and new features).
I hope in a few days to post some pictures of the new unit. It will work with a minimum of changes on popular cameras as well as SI. (yes the same unit). So, if you own a DVX or an HVX and your career cryies for an upgrade (SI?), the change will be painless.
Some food for the thought:
So... it looks like the footage straight from the camera is all good and clean till it ended up in postproduction were everything discussed went to hell, hey? What a shame....
In the good'ol'days, the word was: "don't worry....they'll fix it in post".
Looks like we're going backwards :2vrolijk_08:
:badputer: Dam' bad editing programs....:badputer:
Tz, tz, tz.....
:beer:

I wonder how this will affect the G35s' release. It is taking long enough as it is.

Hey Dan, how much is this new unit of yours going to cost?
 
Rawfa. Dan had mentioned on another thread that the goal was to keep the adapter (including rods and support) somewhere between $1250-1500 (give or take a bit).

Given the fact that the unit is going to be made from the best elements available if Dan gets near this pricepoint Felix should prove to be a formidable competitor in the crowded 35mm adapter market. The idea is to create an product that is the first choice for people in the market for a 35mm adapter. Give the best quality for a competitive price.

We should know fairly soon.

Best,

Jason
 
Man, it does sound great! Keeps us informed, Dan. I'm really looking forward to seing some footage.

I was going through this thread and you said there was a winner...who was that winner and is there still a chance for 2nd and 3rd? I agree with the theory stated above about the vignetting. Thanks.
 
Hello gang,
I received a phone call from Dan today gloating and asking me to check this thread out. I did, and found it quite interesting. As Macgregor already stated, there are no "smoke and mirrors". Let me dispel some rumors floating around. The unit Mac has is a static unit WITHOUT a Beattie screen (contrary to what Dan thinks). For some reason the plastic grocery bags at my local store look the best anyways. Any "artifacts" found are from the OIS (as Macgregor has already stated) or from 50i slo-mo anomalies. Vignetting is due to not zooming in far enough. Hope this helps clear things up. Dan, do I a lens now?

Because the slow mo anomalies were in various parts of Macgregor's film and the OIS, the only thing that is in the 4 seconds of the hallway is the encroaching vignetting. Dan, was this the first thing you noticed about the clip in the hallway? I am dying to know what your original observation was of the 4 second hallway shot.

Leave personal remarks/allusions or suggestions out of this board please, or at least leave me out if it. It could rapidly degenerate, thank you.

Looking back and going over all post, I found no definite answer and definitely not a real consensus from all participants as what the causes WERE.

By the rules of the contest, we should all agree that "this-n-that" is the only possible explanation.

I did not see it happen so.. there ain't no winner.

There are a few theories, but each of them has flaws imo (and most of them are wild or educated guesses)

I (since I started the contest) would go by the film maker's (cameraman/editor) best guess:

I don't know
and end this quest here.

We could (alternatively) all continue to read, argue and speculate here till "the screens come home" and get nowhere.

I am confident when Jonathan will have updates for you, he will definitely let you know without any useless pressure and gossip from the public.
 
and its over.. this never was a official contest so i dont know what went wrong, but can see this going in a very bad direction, so its closed.
