Love your content, man, keep it coming. You’re one of the few filmmakers who’s an actual filmmaker-not one of those bloody UA-camrs comparing an iPhone to an Arri Alexa as if that means a damn thing. You actually speak to how the filmmaking world works, not like some wannabe going around filming a slow-mo clip in a park, uploading it to UA-cam, and pretending to know how filmmaking works. One question though: do you think AI will make cameras obsolete?
I like this format. I'm amazed how hardworking you are, especially working alone or minimal crew. Your opinions and insights on filmmaking are definitely worth hearing because you walk the walk. I look forward to more.
Great video today. You mentioned if Hollywood burned down and I wouldn't mind either. To me there is a heavy duty arrogance cloud over Hollywood. They often think and tell us that Hollywood is the only way and I have never believed in that.
Netflix actually has a few great series related this past fall. Black Dove was great. You have the wade through the glitter pop to find out which releases are solid.
It's strange you say you found the dynamic range on the Pocket 6k pro not impressive but pyxis is "up there". This is actually not borne out by data. the BMPCC 6k Pro has a dynamic range of 11.9 and the Pyxis has the same sensor as the BMCC 6k which has a dynamic range of 11.6 (at SNR = 2) (source: CineD lab tests). So...maybe the problem was whoever was shooting didn't do a good job of exposing the image as per the dynamic range chart provided by Blackmagic? Very good video though, and the topics covered about the future of filmmaking.
I owned the pocket 6k pro for a while and also have owned the c500 mark ii for several years. I found them to be relatively similar in dynamic range. I also did a test with the c70 vs pocket 6k pro and found them pretty similar overall.
Great analysis, thank you! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
Big fan but I think the idea that "old" directors shouldn't be making films anymore is completely idiotic - do you just want films made for 18-25 year olds ? God no ! There's a massive audience of people (gasp !) OVER 30 who like intelligent quality films. Your whole argument about "favours" and stuff is completely muddled and makes no sense at all - totally insulting and baffling. Eastwood was nearly 90 when he made American Sniper and The Mule, two gigantic smash hits - studios trust them with big projects because they've delivered time and again. For me this podcast was a bit of a rambling mess, too much talk and not really saying anything. Very disappointing : (
You misunderstood the video apparently. Probably didn’t even listen to it. People over 70 are making movies for people over 70, and movie goers are not responding. So let the movie house fail? Or switch tactics.
But there are many more films from younger directors that flop disastrously, but it's okay for them to keep doing it ? Age is completely irrelevant, filmmakers make films and most films don't make their money back, weirdly blaming it just on a few old directors (who have had many more hits than misses btw) is just dumb and lazy. Rybidium would kill for that legacy and power, any filmmaker would, it just seems like pure jealousy to bizarrely blame the failing movie industry on a bunch of great directors based on age - i just found the whole thing strange and petty.
Really liked the format. Just listened all while doing other things. Great insights! Keep it coming!

I appreciate it!
Commenting early to say I'm really keen to listen to this, the new format is a nice change!
Love this format!!
Thanks Skully. It's too cold too shoot outside where I am so this could be a good way to get through the winter :)

Great information thanks for sharing 🎉

Thanks! It's a time for big changes. Tiktok is really coming for Hollywood
Insightful. Thank you.

If we fight against ads we we get less and less quality shows and budgets will continue to shrink

Because more processing power and what you do with that sensor data will give you better dynamic range and color data.

clicked because what are octogenarians lol Love your take
Are you still working out of Burlington?
