I’ve started this as a separate topic but it’s really part of the next camera tests. I tend not to use DSC Chroma du monde as it’s really a TV related chart. I had stopped using the X-Rite or Macbeth

The tests will be shot both tungsten and LED daylight. Tungsten being the most “accurate” source I can use. Thanks, this sounds perfect and I can't wait to see them. Especially interested in seeing if

At the press briefing this morning Sony showed a split Venice. Sensor block, about 25mm deep, connected with a 10 or 20 foot cable to the body. Made at the request of James Cameron. They also announce

This was originally a kind of Resolve/post question, but I'm really interested in the best camera settings. The question below refers to RroRes settings in the camera, but perhaps recording RAW might

Hello List, It was my pleasure meeting some of you two years ago and attending the screening of Cafe Society. Unfortunately for others, I am in Hollywood again for CineGear on this fine Thursday night

In addition to the Sony screenings, Band Pro is showcasing our Venice short film TOKYO DANCE (which I shot in Japan w/ Thalia & EZ-1), as well as some macro/food material that I shot with Gary Adcock.

Dear colleagues, in the link you can see the tests we did with the VENICE camera in Cartagena de Indias in Colombia. https://vimeo.com/272088733 In Cinegear I will comment my experience during the sho

I thought I’d start a new thread as the last one is all over the place 😊 I’ve been looking at previous tests and comparing the same cameras, admittedly with different firmware versions, under differen

OK, so I’m doing a new batch of camera evaluations in July, I’m trying to make this an annual event at the same time every year. I’ll be doing the usual latitude tests with the range extended to +/- 5

So… Looks like there’s gonna be a new compressed Raw format on the block - and thanks to the Atomos Inferno and Sumo, a whole bunch of cameras will be recording to it: https://www.apple.com/final-cut-

Linear raw Bayer formats are a relatively space efficient method of storing full range sensor output with minimal compromise. Only the luminance value for each pixel is written to the file. So it is o

Hey all, A quick question attempting to confirm what I've long held to be true: will a "RAW" camera image lose it's flexibility once debayered and exported to any "closed" picture format other than th

I don't know what's happened to CML recently but this personal backstabbing needs to end. Disagreements are fine. Illustrate how you think you are correct vs. how someone else is incorrect, but leave

Hi all I have an upcoming project where I will be shooting Open Gate Arriraw with an Alexa Mini and Super Baltars that will be output to 35mm film by Fotokem. The film is meant to evoke Visconti's Lud
