So, could you see any artefacts with codec mush in the background here?

Uhhh... BOOBS!

Totally agree, the punters won't know the difference if the filmmaker knows what they're doing. But we can see it and it's up to each of us to decide what tradeoffs we're willing to make. If I had the money I'd shoot 70mm and sit back in my chair and shout action but unfortunately I don't have that luxury so instead I'll blow my 30k and bust my arse to get as close as I can to a 70mm look.

NO more pixel peeping, not that I actually did any. The experts have spoken! Once again Panasonic: where the heck is my GH1? Adorama already has a $600 first payment I got the rest in my pocket, where is it?

Well, for 70mm you'd want at least full frame...

I'm shooting anamorphic.....with boobs

 

[SonicStates]

Boobs 3-D...
I just know someone is gonna bring an end to this stupidity soon...Boobs

 

[squig]

sonic got any mjpeg I can have a look at? with boobs?

 

[SonicStates]

I don't think my wife is liking the idea I just proposed to her...hehehe SMACK DOWN...on mjpeg

 

[John Caballero]

This is a BOOBY TRAP!

 

[SonicStates]

I refuse to be the...boob...that brings this intellectual conversation to a lower level.

 

[John Caballero]

The boobs stop here for me, got to get some sleep.

 

[Martti Ekstrand]

I'm unsincerely sorry to have boobed in this thread!

 

[squig]

but seriously any mjpeg I can look at with or without your wife?

 

[SonicStates]

Alright...can't promise a time frame but will shoot some stuff if you want and if Daniel L still lets me use his server space. Anything in particular? Day? Night?

 

[commanderspike]

I plan to shoot some stuff in MJPEG mode today too... just test footage, but want to see if it's faster to edit than CPU hungry AVCHD streams.

 

[squig]

a bit of each would be great, just some street scenes. I might be able to work with the mjpeg but I don't think I wanna touch AVCHD. thx

 

[squig]

much easier to edit

This one looks pretty good to me:

Its all about the cinematographer. Remember, it is an art.

Strange but I couldn't find any mud in this video.

There's a difference, Imax productions for the most part are visceral expanded realties in documentary form.

Or "The Dark Knight" or "Up" playing in Imax 3d, etc.

Both are very different, and your mixing apples and oranges here.

If that's the case, then I must have misunderstood your point. You said (or so I thought) that the choice of camera has no effect on the final product. I say that's absolutely not the case.

What made the Beatles great was their creativity, chemistry, and craft. You add or take away some fidelity from their music and you are not changing my emotional connection one iota.

Agreed. But if you had to record them today, would you still choose the lo-fi recording method? Or would you go for the best you could get?
