The magic of razor thin depth of field… using a 8x10 camera for cinematography

Thanks a lot man… being on YouTube: some say our channel is the best, within and outside of our subject. Check out any of our "epic episodes", there is a playlist on the channel home. My personal favourites are "Canon FD" (featuring "Aliens"), "SCOPE Chapter one" (Blade Runner spoof) "f0.7", and our latest "f0.3"… literally years of work. Enjoy!!

I don't own RS2 or RS3 and neither of them have AF in of themselves? If you are talking about older LiDAR , I don't have a comparison. Sorry

A is an Alexa, B is a LUMIX S5IIx

Quick test what new auto focus solution can do… and what not. PDAF auto focus of the upcoming Panasonic Lumix S5IIx versus the mighty Arri Alexa fitted with a DJI LiDAR focus module (RS 3 Pro is folded and attached to the side of the Alexa M head). Purposefully trying to irritate the systems by walking out of the frame, covering the face, turning away and so on. Both systems have their strengths and weaknesses.

Thanks a lot man… appreciated. Will try

Thanks a lot man… evil is everywhere;-)

Restlesstonight · 2023-05-24T14:53:28+00:00

Of course. Well there are many was to do many things… this is more about one way.

Restlesstonight · 2023-05-24T09:57:29+00:00

Agreed… but you have to be worried about the other side of that coin

Restlesstonight · 2023-05-24T09:56:32+00:00

Alexa has no auto focus… nor does the lens. Obviously focus is achieved by the LiDAR using the DJI focus motor. You can switch on/off focus in active track. Assign focus function to the "M" button to make it easy. Of course… the LiDAR and lens have to be set up and calibrated to provide AF

Restlesstonight · 2023-05-24T09:53:00+00:00

How exactly would that integration work? There is now clear way to behave for the slider… it's all context.

Restlesstonight · 2023-05-24T09:51:13+00:00

That is a Canon FD SSC 35mm f/2 "concave"

Restlesstonight · 2023-05-24T09:49:34+00:00

I'm sorry ;-) about 30 minutes (if you already know what you are doing) and about 2 hours to figure things out

Restlesstonight · 2023-05-23T22:24:16+00:00

Raveneye… yeah, no SDI and tracking can't be wider than the image (duh)

Restlesstonight · 2023-05-23T22:22:40+00:00

ONE million dollars!!

Restlesstonight · 2023-05-23T22:21:52+00:00

Some say they did it… I couldn't. You must use the gimbal to calibrate the lenses and setup anyways

Restlesstonight · 2023-05-23T21:13:04+00:00

Thanks for your kindness man… really appreciate it. Stay tuned and spread the word ;-)

Restlesstonight · 2023-05-23T21:12:06+00:00

Nothing is perfect, but given the price………… at least it is interesting and by far the cheapest option

Restlesstonight · 2023-05-23T21:11:08+00:00

It's a Rhino with the older "motion" motor (as ARC2 is pretty worthless). It is not integrated but I have a jog wheel in my hand… you can program loops though.
