Notes: \u00a0Not too much to share here, just another quick outing at this month’s car show. \u00a0There was a gentleman there using a RED Epic Mysterium-X and clever use of a skate board dolly. \u00a0I just rolled with the Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera, which in my opinion can crank out the same level of quality, of course only for 1080 screens. \u00a0Best of show had to have been the Topspeed R8. \u00a0This past show brought to light that the nonsensical brand allegiance in the\u00a0world of cars is far worse than in the world of cameras (and it’s pretty bad). \u00a0Canon vs Nikon, m4\/3 vs FF, Ferrari vs Lamborghini, Import vs Domestic, blah blah blah. \u00a0Again, no one ever talks brands when it comes to pencils, pens, and crayons.<\/p>\n

Screengrab from color graded 1080p ProRes from the PCC, remember these aren’t pictures, just a pause in the video stream<\/p><\/div>\n

Aside from these downscaled JPEG’s, I don’t think there’s much purpose in trying to convey the sheer image quality of these digital cinema cameras online by posting said videos to the streaming\u00a0sites. \u00a0It’s really something you have to view in its native format, RAW, ProRes, or DNxHD, hooked up to your own tv. \u00a0There’s just too much compression online, which affects things like color range and motion cadence, since those sites have to find some manageable way of squeezing all those pixels down. \u00a0They are free sites after all, and the bandwidth needed for a 1 minute 1.8 GB PCC video is a bit much. \u00a0Watching my “home movies” at or near their closest original format is pretty neat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
