    @shian I did enjoy it! Looked damn good too!!!! Put me down for 2!

  • shianshian

    I just thought it was funny, and relevant... sort of.

  • vicharrisvicharris

    @shian I'd still take a BM over most other cameras even with the audio problems though it seems Frank over at BMCuser has pretty much solved that issue :)

  • shianshian

    Do not fear, help is on the way

  • andyharrisandyharris

    Here's a video I made using RAW and Resolve

    Best seen in full def, some of the original quality shines through:

    Day 1 was fun... Day 2 on the other hand.... longest most exhausting shoot of my career. The next morning on day 3 felt like I had a hangover, but I didn't drink... must have been the dehydration.

  • vicharrisvicharris

    Here's some set photos from a pilot Shain and I worked on. I posted some in the pocket thread by accident. 2.5 working it on the Rolls!

    Ill ask Kristian if that's supposed to be under MFt support but he specifically said twice in the update thread that its a pocket camera firmware update.

  • rockroadpixrockroadpix

    So why does it come up under BMCC MFT Support?

  • kholikholi

    Same program, but the update is not for the 2.5K, it's for the Pocket Camera. Kristian specifically said that more than once in the update thread.

    There's no reason to put that firmware on the 2.5K.

  • rockroadpixrockroadpix

    ^THis

  • kazuokazuo

    same update for all cameras

  • kholikholi

    Wait, 1.4.2 is for the Pocket Camera right? Why are you guys putting it on the 2.5K?

  • rockroadpixrockroadpix

    I'll double check, but I'm pretty sure I have 1.4.2 on my cam. It's in my downloads folder.

    edit: Ok, you're right @vicharris - it is green. Sad that I have been so busy with house shit that I have not had much time to play...

  • vicharrisvicharris

    You guys might want to update your cams then. I want hooking it up to actually update it yesterday, I was just trying to update my pocketcam. It wasn't connecting to my computer so I hooked up my 2.5k just to see if it was the can and it updated by itself and I have green peaking now. I have no idea if anything else updated either. I'm baffled.

  • rockroadpixrockroadpix

    My peaking is white. I think...

  • kholikholi

    I haven't updated firmware or turned on peaking since I got the camera, but I believe it was white? @vicharris

    @Ian_T

    Zero sharpening. I just got off of the phone with them this morning to clear up some details, and yeah no sharpening. But this actually doesn't surprise me, only because two or three weeks ago we had a long chat about some things that they were working on, and he said it would be like this.

    I imagine if you had RAW files to peep at and a chart, you could spot the difference, but they are also still improving this new design that they're working on, and very much looking at the 4K with major interest.

    I'll have some more updates on this REALLY soon, so far no price or release date that I've heard but will try to get a range for you guys.

  • rockroadpixrockroadpix

    Yeah, that is marked improvement from their first test.

  • Ian_TIan_T

    @kholi, if that is "really" without post sharpening then wow.

  • vicharrisvicharris

    Ok, am I going crazy or does my camera have the green focus peaking like the pocket? I just updated my firmware yesterday and my peaking is green now. It was white before, right? Or am I going insane?

  • TheNewDealTheNewDeal

    Hopefully this new Mosaic filter is tested on both MFT and EF mounts?

  • kholikholi

    Mosaic Engineering video has been updated 10/1/2013, a new version of the filter that retains much more detail.

    More information to come very soon.

  • TheNewDealTheNewDeal

    "Future-proof" A phrase that should be struck from all technology discussions.

  • SuperSetSuperSet

    Anyone can offer input on the Cineform RAW workflow?
