doublevr This looks fantastic! Definitely worth it in my opinion.

Blackmagic is known to make great cameras (it's right behind the Red cameras which is the industry standard for cinema)

if you can, before shooting a scene with it, post some sample test shots with the new camera so that users can give feedback on the calibration, scaling, and color correction.

doublevr These cameras are amazing. The biggest upgrade we have seen in many years.

doublevr What's the FOV capture radius of those lenses though?
It would be just our luck this pro camera did an oopsie and falls short of 180 degree 2:1 ratio to cater to Apple's Spatial video format instead of the Immersive video one

Seriously......... you, have had about 3 months of actually releasing 8k scenes that look good and now you want to upgrade again after finally getting scenes to look as good as five years ago !

This time seriously TEST before upgrading - Release snippets or test files as the canon was possibly the biggest disaster in VR history !

Just being honest, i still prefer scenes from 5 years ago, they look incredible

Please give me something positive to talk about, beautiful American girls, not euro girls with fish lips and boob scars, the euro studios are pumping out releases with zero quality control that i just don't watch anymore.

The American girls seems to have learned that butchering their bodies isn't good. - Please more natural beauties shot with the current camera as it looks amazing.

Silly-Sausage This is exactly how I pictured you reading through all that 😄

[deleted] Much more exagerated in my real silly life - But unless feedback is given then we are going to face another year of totally shit releases, that have shit scaling, shit resolution and are basically a little shit sausage - so i apologise for being over dramatic but unless you speak out then you are going to get the same old shit.

I've tried being polite which is my nature in general, but that just doesn't work, the nastier you are the more you achieve in life in the work environment. - In the words of Metallica - 'Sad but true', no one pays attention when your nice.

I've tried being nice and let down so, i'm just going be a dick like everybody else

I'm super excited to see what this camera will produce. It also seems to be a camera with a good work flow, good light tolerance, probably a lot easier to get right then the Canon for instance. High hopes for this thing. It's big though but man, I think quality like this will take vr to a whole new level. Can't wait!

Hairsational

fenderwq Will undoubtedly look stunning, but I agree, the size looks like it might be the deal breaker. Seems to be a lot bigger than any of the other available cameras. I'm not looking forward to all the non-POV, POV we are going to be getting if studios decide to switch to it.

fenderwq

Hairsational yeah, true, pov is essential. However imagine two girls. Making out in front of you, or some good lesbian stuf. I'm not against non pov either but pov is for sure what I watch 90% of the time.

fenderwq

Hairsational besides it's 30k so I doubt most studio's will switch any time soon. Still, this is the kind of vr camera innovation we sorely needed. Hope we get some scenes with it at some point.

Hairsational At the moment, NaughtyAmerica also announced they are switching to Blackmagic.

Can't wait to see the result, guys

Hairsational

fenderwq What I meant by non-POV POV is sub-par POV that isn't shot from an ideal POV position because of the camera size.

sogman

No camera expert here. But whatever camera they use in virtualrealporn, wow the clarity is always on top. You can see the pores on their face when they are not even that close its insane

fenderwq

Virdiron owww, gonna be epic to see what that looks like

boboweb

How about the VR lenses ? Is there any info/specs about it ? Price and availability ?

over 8k x 8k per eye, this is hopefully going to look insane 👏

As I posted before in a different thread, this is needed to fully fill the pixels of the new and upcoming 4k x 4k per eye headsets, like the Pimax Crystal Super.. because you're inside the video, you're not seeing the whole 8k x 8k (180* fov or whatever the fov of this camera is), you're zoomed into basically 4k x 4k (90-120* FOV, depending on current headsets) with the rest you can look around at, so this 8k x 8k is necessary, not overkill

And that's besides counting future-proofing, so the videos look great forever

Anyone Know Of any VR Sample movies of this ?

doublevr

ajaxmatt2 avp apple originals.
Looks insane
