Re: Flanders FSI LM-2140W vs Panasonic BT-LH2170
Looking between the FSI and the Sony OLED's as I did for the past two weeks, I obviously saw deeper blacks in the OLED's but the rest of the values were all but identical. Yes, there are differences,...

Re: Flanders FSI LM-2140W vs Panasonic BT-LH2170
The monitor applies a LUT curve to convert the various log formats into REC709 for viewing. I haven't had a chance to use these yet as I have had a DIT with Livegrade doing that but I know it is has...

Re: Canon C100 on a Steadicam Merlin - Settings
Easy answer--Alexa. Nearly all of what I shoot is on that camera and I have zero complaints.
Attempting to round this back to the subject at hand--I've tried the Canons a little bit and they seem...

Re: Flanders FSI LM-2140W vs Panasonic BT-LH2170
I have, and I battled for a while over whether I should get that vs the FSI. At the time, the feedback I got was that the OLED was almost too good, in the sense that I might get fooled into seeing...

Re: Flanders FSI LM-2140W vs Panasonic BT-LH2170
I too have the FSI 2461, I have been using it as my on-set reference monitor for the past year and a half or so and I'm very pleased with it. Solid feature set, I trust the image, support has been...

Re: Canon C100 on a Steadicam Merlin - Settings
Thanks Michael, although I moved on from operating about three years ago. I'm not quite as facile as giving suggestions on Steadicam operating or setup issues as I used to be, out of sight/out of...

Re: VG30 Test with Tiffen Ultra Con 1 Filter
Those were not notably contrasty shots to begin with. With these examples, the camera is delivering a nice range of values without the filter so it's just milking out the bottom end.
Where the...

Re: Canon C100 on a Steadicam Merlin - Settings
Raising the spar does change the geometry of the system, so it would involve a rebalance, certainly in top to bottom axes but potentially fore and aft also.
The video I recommend you make would...

Re: Canon C100 on a Steadicam Merlin - Settings
The "lack of a solid shaft under the stage" is not the issue here. The physics of the Merlin are well-proven (it was invented over 20 years ago, I've seen Garrett's prototype from that era). It's...

re: BMCC 4K is Quad HD not 4K
If one has to turn camera originals over without processing, that would be the case, for better or worse. I can't see why edited deliverables couldn't be uprezzed 6% to 4K from Quad though.

re: BMCC 4K is Quad HD not 4K
I see your point--in theory. In real life, it's nothing like being pregnant or not. It's more like being 8.5 months pregnant vs 9 months.
I was initially excited when the last build of the Alexa...
