Is that a film camera?

Dig out your old SD CCD non rolling shutter camcorders and start creating content 🙂 YouTube follows Netflix by reducing video stream quality in Europe

BTW, i watched recently the new stop motion movie from Aardman Animations - "A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon" (TRAILER) In one scene Shaun and his new Alien friend are in the spaceship and Alien looks after something in a pile of stuff. Various objects start to fly from the pile in front of Shaun and camera, including a Minolta IVF/VF like lightmeter! 🙂 Nice homage for a filmmaking tool. 🙂

I have and love my Minolta Auto Meter VF. In my opinion, one of the best overall incident meters. Just incident, no illumination of the screen, no FC/LUX mode. Simple AA battery. A lot of them on ebay for a good price. If you want a new, get the Kenko KFM-1100, the same meter. (After Minolta ended it's manufacturing) ------------------- For combined meter check out Minolta Flashmeter VI. Incident + 1 degree spotmeter, big LCD screen, runs on one AA battery. No FC/LUX mode. Plenty available on ebay in relatively good shape from Japan. It's re-branded version is the Kenko KFM-2100. Discontinued. Successor is the Kenko KFM-2200. Illuminated LCD screen, some added functions, LUX metering (no FC). Still one AA battery.

"Altered Carbon" from Netflix. Now i'm on season 2. If you are into "Blade Runner" - you'll like this. :)

How much is the shutter rolling? 😀

Anybody watching? Looks great. Star Trek is getting stylistically and thematically darker. As Ryan Arey from ScreenRant comented on his "Every Easter Egg in Episode 5 + Breakdown & Theories" YT video: "OK... I guess this isn't my mom's Star Trek anymore. People curse, they vape, and **** is probably hold up in her quarters with space heroin" :) Somehow till this episode #5 i had the feeling of things are still "prepping" for the "upcoming" action. Not that there wasn't any, far from it. It comes i guess being used from STNG and Picard in it, where most of the episodes were self contained stories. And here you wait for the next to see the resolution and the new cliffhanger, long story arc of Picard and the rest of the cast... That's alright though. To me the exterior space scenes/ships slightly hing toward the "electronic" look. I might be hairsplitting here. BTW i am not talking practicals vs. CGI here. Just a wish for slight dose of "imperfection" maybe for added realism...

"Blade 2" has nice extras, including some storyboards (If i remember correctly), BTS explanation of lighting of the scene ("1K's up there, 2K gelled with..." etc) and actual BTS shooting of the scene.

Congrats to Samir Ljuma and Fejmi Daut for their ASC award! 🙂 " The evening’s presentations began with the first competitive category, the inaugural ASC Documentary Award. This award was initiated this year to recognize exceptional cinematography in non-fiction filmmaking. Joker director Todd Phillips presented the award to Fejmi Daut and Samir Ljuma for their work on Honeyland. " " This was the first ASC Award nomination and win for both the filmmakers. For their work on Honeyland, Daut and Ljuma won the Cinematography Award at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival. Honeyland has also been nominated in the Best Documentary Feature and Best International Feature Film categories of the 2020 Academy Awards. "

I assume from your comment you haven't watched the video. It is the body, EVF and stuff for that price. Lens is his own or rented, can't remember. It is a fun video for anyone wanting to jump THE camera bandwagon and the "challenges" this massive beast has. :)

I don't know about $$... YouTuber/Cinematographer PotatoJet bought one for ~6000USD :)

Mendes should have gone the Ang Lee route for even more immersion. And BIGGER! 8K 240fps 3D 🙂 Haven't seen the movie, is on the watch list. ... Without spoiling and all knowing it is one continuous shot, i've seen in the trailer day and night scenes, could somebody describe when does it start and end? Night to Day? 2 hours seems small range to me for realtime(?) transition from night to day...

Just received a link to YouTube where somebody put the entire film. English hard coded subtitles included. 🙂 Enjoy! Trivia: Almost all spoken language between the main protagonists is not the native Macedonian language. It is Turkish and from what i gathered, between Hatidzhe and her mother even an older Turkish dialect - the mentioned protagonists being part of an ethnicity group.

Two Oscar nominations: Best Documentary and Best International Feature Film (formerly Best Foreign Language Film) 🙂 IndieWire - Historic ‘Honeyland’ Oscar Noms Prove Docs Shouldn’t Just Be Relegated to Doc Category Forbes - ‘Honeyland’: The First North Macedonian Film To Receive Two Oscar Nominations

I just watched it yesterday. Very interesting Hyper, non-resting , nerving.... As much the character was annoying, with his behavior at times, all in all it was a good film. Well done. I liked Sandler. Good job. I thought it was shot digital. Surprised to read here it was film. However, i think i saw in one occasion during a fast pan or a bus/vehicle passing by some rolling shutter skewing... :)
