Yup!!
And its over kill for today, but 4K is is coming. The TVs will only be available in 4K in another year and a half.
Shot a scene the other day at 4K 60p, 250 gigs for one scene. Crazy resolution!

You are correct.
People are moving into 4K and not talking about it. Trying to keep an edge over the competition I guess.
But its so funny to me, because I have had 20+ producers and directors come to me for technical advice on cameras and editing systems.

Maybe just keeping the 4K masters for the future and edit and encode in 1080p would be ok for now.

Thats been my exact advice to everyone thats been seeking my advice.
Adds value to your content. The stuff you shoot today will seem new to people looking for 4K content in 2 years. Its the best way to keep ahead of the curve and add value to your content in the future.
Also a down convert from 4K to 1080p has a noticeably higher quality than if you shot the same content in 1080p in the same camera. Shot and did the tests myself. Im not the guy that listens to what others say without seeing the claims made in action for myself.
I have a pretty good knowledge of compression algorithms, video codecs, etc. And also keep in mind a $1,000 compression program will net you a smaller file at a higher quality than a $40 compression program.
Had a particular someone give me a 3 full-time editors at my disposal and a lot of money to prove this theory correct.
In short: A computer compression program will quality beat the shit out of any camera compression.

So it's like saying I can shoot 4K with my smartphone. The resolution is there, but the sensor is so small that it is lacking the color rendition, it has a video-ish look because you do not have the cinematic shallow depth of field, the dynamic range is not so great at 10 stops and the the whole thing feels artificial instead or organic.
In my opinion, if you do not have yet a pro camera and you want to improve your image, go with a used Canon C300. It shoots at 1080p max, but you have a true Super 35mm sensor (in fact it is a 4K sensor but the camera downsized the image to 1080p and it's an awesome 1080p).
If your budget is limited and you really want 4K, then go with the Sony a7s. True full-frame 35mm sensor, almost 13 stops of dynamic range and Sony S-log 2.  |
Nice post!
You know what your talking about!
I don't think many people here have a true understanding of dynamic range and its value.
Example of what dynamic range is: When you are shooting inside a house, on a well lit set with your current camera, and you shoot into a window what do you see??? White or a blown out right?
What 13-14 stops of dynamic range will do on the same set as above; when you shoot into the window, you won't see white or blown out, you will see everything outdoor exposed properly, matching the same shot inside and it will super clean.
What these new cameras can do are incredible. Look for dynamic range when you are buying a camera, not just that it says 4K.
Sony seems to be ahead of the budget quality 4K game right now.
I know what Im eying right now and when I get it in my hands and run it through its paces, I will give you a review on it.

You CAN have too much detail in porn and in sex in general!
Why you think people get undressed and fuck in the dark!
What is once seen can never be unseen - be careful!

Your right.
I have standards on the girls I shoot. I would have no issue with sending a girl home that has any bruising and unattractive marks, cuts, rashes, etc. I have done it more times than I can remember.
Good Make up artist, clean set lighting while make up gets applied and good lighting when you actually shoot the scene is going to be the standard for good 4K content.
Nice thread,
