I had a dream last night. Dear Jan,
Please give us more control then our wildest dreams. I am looking for the next generation camera, ask the engineers to "open" the camera up. Alow us as artists to create with your cameras so that we may break all the rules. If as an artist right now I have ten thousand different options of creative control, for the next level give me 10 million.
Move beyond just giving us control over gamma curves and Kelvin in the camera, Resurch major Post house color correction software and hardware options. Call in Stu at Red Giant if he'd even talk to a Panasonic rep and work with him on building Looks "in camera". If you make a camera that Stu would be happy with, you will win back any customers you may have lost this year.
Give us a secondary color correction, ranged saturation, and ability to control the color and selection of our highlights, mid tones, and shadows. Talk to Nvida about putting a quarto graphics card in there, if that would help make this happen. Also haveing the option of building the look on a computer and then plugging the "Look" into camera would be helpful.
(I do not intend to take any work away from color correction I want them to move to the next level also.)
At the same time give us RAW, as a DP working on a system that you can "burn in" a look and at the same time also give the client RAW. Alows me to be more creative and the client a safety net, and if there is a color correction person in post the intent and direction I intended. When talking Codec compression etc Please consult with Barry Green and make him happy. Pretty sure if he's happy with it dvxusers would be happy to buy it.
Doing both of these will make everyone happy and elevate production and post production to the next creative level. Start another revolution.
Give us detailed control over our depth of field at any angle of view. A variable ND would be a good start at this, Croping the sensor as others have recommended could also be helpful. (personally I would love the censor that's size is just a little to heavy to carry myself, something the size of a small Hybrid car, but I realize that's a little selfish)
High speed at any cost, give us higher speed (even at lower resolutions) creatively Drama happens at a 10th of a second but as a story teller I'd like the option to tell it at any speed.
Think of this less of a camera and more of an creative Image creator. I realize that as a creative person my Ideas aren't realistic or even practical, but sometimes to see the future you have to dream the impossible.
