imax have a different look, its hard to put it into words but u feel it, doesnt mean its better than other formats, its just different. i think super 35 is the sweet spot for movies.
Technically, IMAX as a format is just 6x7 medium format film. It doesn't look different than any other format within the practical realm of use. The projection on a huge IMAX screen surely makes a difference, but that is nor directly connected to the format in itself
I'm not sure we are going to pubilsh o video just for that… sorry. I can tell you this much. The wide angle adapter has significant falloff towards the sides (as to be expected) For super35 it is OK, for full Frame I would rather use the f2.0 concave version, unless you are looking for a bit of a wonky look.
6:07 if you have a passable lathe and mill in a home shop you can do it provided you have the skill. I was able to hold a tolerance of less than .005 inches on a beat up school machine, more often less than .003. More than good enough for a smooth running mechanism. Having access to a CNC makes it way nicer for sure.
If you have a marble and the skills you can create the David If you have a particle accelerator and the skills you can create antimatter If you you press 0 and 1 in the right order you can create perfect recordings of a Mozart opera Good luck…
If you think you can do this in a reasonable time and budget… just go for it! The "skills" is what matters most, and you don't seem to have the expertise required to do this. Right now you just sound like classic Dunning-Kruger
@@MediaDivision i never claimed it was cheap, quick or effortless. Make no mistake this isn't a quick or simple project but it is well within the capabilities of a well equipped home shop or a school shop if someone were to take it on, prime optics are the easiest by far though. To be bluntly honest you just sound like one of those pretentious people who think only the high end shops can pull things like this off.
Again… go for it! Given enough time and budget anyone can do anything - you will potentially become an expert, but to think that you can compete with a whole company that has a history doing this is just ridiculous.
This is incredible work by you guys. Wow. To be honest, your work here almost overshadows DJI. I'm very interested, but man, they need to allow me to output that to my existing monitor. My eyes aren't so great for that tiny screen. Also, the USB-C connection should have been locking. But amazing gen 1, that's for sure.
Thanks al lot. If you work with it, you see that outputting to your exiting monitor only makes sense if it is a combined image like you have it with the Transmission. That hardware would cost a lot extra and it does make the setup cumbersome. Implementing the touch interface to of a random third party device would be next to impossible, so you would have to stick to the handgrip for control. I agree on the locking, but again, price matters and I never accidentally ripped a cable out, not even filming on a speed boat.
@@MediaDivision Thanks for that. I wasn't thinking of the touch interface, I was thinking more of watching two monitors while filming. I suppose one gets used to that. I don't care about the wireless control part, jjust like the handgrip. Hell, I like the idea of the handgrip without the lidar.
So very informative! I would love to see a video comparing consumer anamorphic lenses like the Cato and Remus anamorphics against the Pavo and Mercury lenses to get a sense on where the industries are compromising, but as well to highlight features or character/quality to look for when purchasing anamorphic lenses that are all labeled "budget" but maybe fall into different tiers of budget lenses.
@@owenjenkinsofficial I would love to do all „new anamorphic“ beside each other… and the old high end, too. but no manufacturer would sponsor such a thing and I can’t work a month for basically nothing.
Thanks for watching.... there was a 3.0 Firmware which was tast major upgrade to the system. Find all about it here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F5Qkj-oQmVY.html
Can you use this system with the nucleus m, so maybe nucleus m for zoom and dji for autofocus? Or does it make more sense to sell the nucleus M and go all in with the Dji?
Dont need that, Want 2 mounted individual lens, first with Dot, far second has ring and when viewed the Ring FITS around the Dot. Then to mount on a Rifle or Bow.. Side open to absorb light, Flip Down for storage. Either Fit on Ramp to be attached or 2 mounted individuals.
@@ecash00 Are you OK? Your comments don't seem to make sense in this context. If you want to talk about anamorphic, we can. Rifle or bow scopes are not a subject of this video or this channel.
No, sorry, Panasonic didn't give us one to test before the announcement. Now, that meadow has been grazed to much to make a production like this worth our time. Sorry. Personally, I moved to the S5IIx and looking forward to a future high end release of Panasonic.
This music man,its just something else, every time i hear it my body just explodes with excitement,idk why but i just cant stop but smile start shaking for like a second or twowhen i hear it,a real masterpiece
I’m having a very hard time with some lenses and it’s not working hardly at all and other lenses are working great. I can’t figure it out, I’m wondering if I have a bad unit
We have yet to encounter a lens that doesn't work. The systems might have a problem with CAM systems, as the as the curve in the focus through is not predictable with just two measurements for calibration
I love your content so much that I feel almost sad that it gets so few views. The quality is topnotch and I've learned so much since then -- please keep on going no matter what! <3
Thanks a lot man... and thank you so much for your support. We couldn't do it without you. We will certainly try... we will see. RU-vid and our industry is certainly in crisis.
Fantastic video - To create that dirty yellow colouring for the inside scene, was that done with the practical lights, cameras white balance or grading in post? Would love to understand how you achieved those tones.
Thanks a lot… well, we basically tell and show you how it is done in this video?! We describe the process and you see the behind the scenes shots. The construction light we used is gelled with yellow and the tube lights are tinted, too. Of course, the results are heavily graded in Resolve to match the color of the original as good as possible - as I am sure is the case for the original
of course… all shots showing the other side are purely shot on available light… so, the colors are matched in the grade. It is not that hard to grade it that way, but it is time intensive
That was an absorbing episode and an astounding journey! As a mechanical design engineer and former machinist/model-maker, I marvel at the capabilities and craftsmanship on display at GL Optics --Simply Top Notch! What a privilege it would be to own a set of custom re-housed lenses and to work with GL Optics. Thank You for another amazing educational video👌
on this one.... yes. It's just a satellite video. Try this one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--4uzyhbDFas.html but keep in mind that we cater for a tiny niche.
@@MediaDivision yes why dont u re-do the video with new better oprions. i was thinking 4 a6400 side by side taking the same shot... wuldnt be amazing? is it even possible? makes me wonder.
@@user-ff2ed6dh8x We already "redid" this video with our "Beyond IMAX" episode - with a 9 segments, a large format lens; and a much better camera than a a6400. There is nothing more to explore here that would make it unique and interesting. Here is an idea: get a a6400 and do it… make a video about it, find some interesting basis that makes it worth exploding, maybe teach something with it, upload it for the community.
No… different kind of tools, so it depends. M is more for professional setups from the the whole concept. If you are a creator or single shooter, this will be better for you
Totally different tools and Price classes. Nano II is just fine if you are on low budget productions and want to pull focus. If you need a FIZ, automated focus, distance mapping etc. This is it.
@@MediaDivision that focal ratio is pretty middle of the road and the bigger aperture really does make a pretty big difference, the difference between say a 64mm aperture and a 128mm aperture isn't double its closer to 4x if I remember right. I'm not saying it's a replacement for the ultra low ratio but you can definitely get good results with a large aperture.
@deltacx1059 you can shoot a portrait with the Hubble telescope. But you have to be very far away. I don’t know how an aperture measurement just on its own has meaning?
@@MediaDivision light gathering area is what I'm getting at. If your goal is low light performance your options are large aperture or low focal ratio. Yes I need to stand back to get a wide enough angle with my lens which limits where it can be used but it's more affordable than the super low ratio optics, the optics in the video provide much more convenience and ability to shoot in confined spaces.
@deltacx1059 the size of your aperture doesn’t matter if that light is not hitting your sensor. An f/2 300mm for FF but used on MFT is not looking better than a 300 f/2 for MFT although the aperture is much bigger.
I hope you went to the city of Chongqing, not that far away from Chengdu. If the Blade-Runner-ness of Chengdu is 3 then Chongqing is 10. It is a 3D city that a subway will exist a tunnel and then passthrough a skyscraper.
Excellent video as always!!! One question. Is the zoom toggle button "touch sensitive"? Meaning, does zoom speed increase the further the toggle is pushed.
I was trying to find FD - M42 adapter for K3 16mm, but read that the flange distance would be wrong and it would only focus macro and thats depressed me a bit, but then I remembered this video and had to come back to ask you if you know how they adapted FD lenses to movie cameras if any had m42mount or if you knew a way to get FD lenses to K3 or any other camera with m42 mount and if it was possible to maybe remove the original mount and replace with a new M42 mount that would get it closer to the film plane.
The FD flange is shorter than M42 flange... so, there can't be an adapter without diopter. Theoretically you can rehouse the lens to maybe fit inside the M42 mount, but nobody would do that. For PL it makes sense and the wide opening of PL allows some tricks. I think you are out of options
@@MediaDivision I guess I am, but I can use fd lenses on mirrorless and full frame and actual Canon SLR. I'll just find another wide lens for K3. Thanks If i can find a diopter, i needed one for anamorphic setup anyway, if not, I'll go for what's available. It's the wide ratio and fast, so any vintage would do.
@@MediaDivision i mean you have the camera anyway so you might as well use it. But what I actually wonder is how good these high end cameras are for astrophotography, I would expect the sensors must be very efficient and very low noise
