Let's Compare Hollyland's Mars M1 to the New Pyro 7" Monitor https://ift.tt/2nFrHPA When working on set, brands like Hollyland and Teradek allow filmmakers to skip the BNC and move with significantly more fluid mobility than ever before with wireless connections. It goes without saying Hollyland has made major waves in the last few years in the wireless film tools space. With their popular Solidcom headsets, communication on set has become a dream of clear reception. And, with their Mars wireless video tools, it's easier than ever to monitor camera remotely. Lucky for filmmakers everywhere they haven't slowed down producing new equipment. And, even luckier for us at No Film School, we got our hands on their newest monitor unit, the Pyro 7", and tested it along with the 5" Mars M1 to compare and contrast their functionality. We found them both to be valuable tools that fit into a variety of complex workflows. Let's explore why below. What Does the Hollyland Pyro 7" Do?  The Pyro 7", like it's little buddy the Mars 5" M1, does a lot. It's primary function is as a receiver/monitor—an all-in-one little unit you get the benefits of receiving the wireless video to view it, in a tiny neat package. Versatile in many ways, it has mounting points to put it on a stand or a directors cage. Not to mention it is battery powered with video in and out, so you can use it in bigger setups. The most impressive part of the Pyro setup is that it isn't just a transmitter or a receiver, it's both. If you want it on the camera as your monitor for the operator, it can also work as a transmitter to up to four different Pyro receivers. Or, if you have a Pyro transmitter on your camera, the Pyro can work as both a transmitter as a receiver, all in one. And it has basically every single monitoring feature you could want, including false color, focus peaking, LUTs, and more. Pyro 7" Recording Features  On top of everything else, this unit also records straight to file. It does this to either an internal hard drive, or to an external SSD drive. The smaller Mars M1 doesn't have a slot for SD or CFexpress cards, but that's frankly fine. Even on cameras these days where you have those slots, or external monitor/records that have them, we tend to shoot everything straight to Samsung T9 drives anyway, and we like that they seem to get it and just skip the internal slots. Why spend money on a feature many likely don't use? But the larger Pyro does have room for an SD card slot for up to 40 minutes of recording to SD, and we always can appreciate a slick additional feature. Pyro 7" Power Functionality  One of the best features of the Mars model is power. The Mars 5" is a small unit, so you've only got one mounting spot for a Sony style NP battery instead of the two you'll see on some competitors. But frankly a lot of the time even on units that take two, we just mount a single battery, and it's nice to have the battery in the middle for balance. Wit...

In this tutorial, I dive into the world of cinematic lighting, showcasing how to create stunning visual effects with an affordable setup. Leveraging the sharp imagery of a Sony 24mm f/1.4 GM lens paired with the incredible low-light capabilities of the Sony A7S III, I demonstrate techniques to craft atmospheric scenes. A key component of my setup is the versatile Godox 150 light, providing the flexibility and control needed to achieve that cinematic allure. Whether you're a budding filmmaker or a seasoned videographer, this guide offers insights into making the most of your gear for cinematic excellence. https://lnkd.in/dfM_YTsi

The 9x7 digital cinema camera is the sharpest you can get, providing four times more sharpness than other top digital cinema cameras. It comes with advanced features like a global shutter and dual correlated readout sensor, delivering high dynamic range, vivid colors, and superior color accuracy. In every aspect of image quality, it outperforms the renowned 15-perf 70mm IMAX film. To support the state of the art, none other than state of the art fluid head, CiNX 3 from Miller. What a revolution!

Blackmagic adds Cinema Camera 6K Gyro data to DaVinci Resolve in 18.6.5 update

Wednesday August 07 2024. Image Enhancement                                            https://lnkd.in/grk5tt-t All other three-dimensional television systems develop a sense of added depth perception by creating a slightly different view too each eye.           My system to achieve this does not. No viewing glasses. No viewing sweet spot. No special 3D transmission required. Increased clarity. Reduced eyestrain for the viewer’s as they do experience from viewing 2D. Displaying a full depth of field view. No Blu-ray system employed in creating this 3D sensational effect. Live streaming 3D TV illusion from 2D signals if originally filmed from 3D video images. All the while employing only the standard television transmissions entirely created within the TV monitor. Nothing extra to be transmitted. Therefore no transmission changes / charges. Also no antenna alterations required. Robin @               [email protected] #displaysolutions

Interesting. I’ve been using Metashape to track some shots in the past few years. It’s solver can sometimes do a better job at analyzing the scene, and I can push the solve to Syntheyes to clean it up. Exporting undistorted sequences requires some clever steps. I also do the opposite, and use Syntheyes tracks to feed directly to scenes Metashape can’t solve - since Russ Anderson and I built the exporter in 2014 - and it’s superior recovered mesh. Sometimes a human in the loop is necessary. I’ll have to look into this workflow, since it seems to be built into the app here, and higher quality meshing is built in.
