I know people who are very busy with F5 & F55 or the C300 cameras, I notice RED cameras being used BBC natural history docs pretty often, while other high end docs use Arri cameras. It really depends on your local market and the type of work you do.

It really depends on your market sector. With the cost of documentary cameras tending to be lower than in the days of 2/3" cameras (except if you use an Arri), if makes sense to buy your camera if that's the one you mostly use. I used to rent 2/3" cameras because the work was a mix of Digibeta, Beta SP and DVCam, I owned the tripod, monitor and lights. I also had a deal with the rental company on the rates,

The second revision of the V14.6 beta is now available https://www.lwks.com/index.php?optio...emid=81#199690 This has a number of fixes.

The film and TV industry isn't like going to college, you will find all sorts of negative forces going on, as well as positive ones. Phil points out the downsides, which is only fair, you will find praise, but don't always expect it to be genuine. There can be all sorts of politics going on that you're not aware of. All you can do is be upbeat and positive, regardless of what's going on, even on a cold wet day, with the rain running down your neck.

Dry ice tends to lie in a layer.

No, grain size is a factor because of the smaller S16 neg and if you want a really shallow DoF. You can have a visually great S16 film, but they are different.

A discussion with Yosuke Yamane, Director of Panasonic’s Imaging Network Business Division https://www.fdtimes.com/2019/06/02/panasonic-s1h-full-frame-24p-6k/

You seem to be doing a whole series of topics on the meaning of characters/camera/vehicles doing this or that. .

Panasonic have announced their new cinema camera; https://www.redsharknews.com/production/item/6400-the-new-lumix-s1h-full-frame-at-6k-this-is-a-serious-cinema-camera https://www.newsshooter.com/2019/06/01/panasonic-s1h-full-frame-mirrorless-6k-24p/

Cooke have started a website where you can compare films shot on Cooke lenses. http://shotoncooke.com/videos/ Some background information https://www.provideocoalition.com/shotoncooke-a-new-online-gallery-to-show-how-cooke-lenses-are-used/

Back in the day, professional editors cutting 16mm camera originals (i.e, reversal), which is going to be transmitted, wore cotton gloves.

Don't confuse VHS with D-VHS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-VHS Mini DV took over on the camera side, so HDV would be the equivalent for HD on camcorders. JVC made some 720p HDV cameras, there are 1080i cameras made by other manufacturers such as Sony and Canon. These have been replaced by later cameras, but you can still find them on ebay.

I suspect your handle has become worn over the years, so working loose. If you can find a newer one, with less worm components, you will find it to be very firm for hand holding. I changed mine a few years before selling the camera.

Not great, but some Lightworks users do manage to run the program with Intel HD graphics cards.

Which GPU have you currently got?

I haven't tried edit a post in the new site web pages, but in the past there has been only a short time window in which you can edit your post after you've submitted your post. After that ran out, there was no means of editing, you had to add another post with your changes. Looking at my recent posts, the same still seem s to apply. EDIT, That seems to be still the case. The edit command has gone on my other posts, but is still in place here

The workflow may vary form N:E to NLE, but Lightworks automatically selects the highest resolution for your final export when working with proxies.

Lightworks isn't too demanding in it's computer requirements, the internal proxy editing helps with the lower powered machines. It comes from a background of narrative film making.

Jean-Pierre Beauviala has died, he was 82. Designer of the Aaton, he was man who kept improving his cameras. https://vimeo.com/86334994

I gather these were the lenses used: https://uk.panavision.com/products/uk/super-panavision-70-lenses They may have been rehoused,

VFX are not usually a lost minute thing, they are planned in advance. If using VFX software, someone has to know how to use it. It's also usually demanding in computing power.

LOL I've seen them gathering on shorts as well.
