Ahh that explains Ron's need to make Ball filters , compensation for the Erector set me thinks

Carl wrote: maybe but it's a stupid name

I fully agree its Meccano!

oo nice camera Ron, might be a bind getting from A-b though, plus um does it have a hidden bed warmer or something?

Am eyeing up a Nikon D60 camera at the moment. Mind have seen a Canon 21.5 mb camera but wow the price of it!! lol!

I bet but would that be, because it weighs a lot?

Kinda affordable too, plus has a lot of add on lenses you can get for it.

Kraellin wrote: what is that camera

It is the Red One 4k digital cinematography camera. At around 20,000usd it is an extremely low cost alternative to some thing like the Panavision Genesis – which rents for around 4000usd per day. I read that the Genesis costs around 200,000usd but as far as I know, you can only rent them.

Check this out Craig - here is the Red Scarlet configured for stereo.

I'm no expert. I think it has different modes that trade frame rate for resolution. 4k is what you see at the movies - 8k is IMAX. I think HD is 2k and it will easily do that.

My 6MP camera shoots 3072x2048, so imagine doing more than that at 30+ fps.

Heya Wb Carl... Mind Ron and Steve have both gone quiet now... <pokes the forum>

Carl wrote: LOL I'm not really gone just have very limited time and can't make it to the forum every day

um... I know I am here far far to much , have to pop by for my fix of humour .

Mind when I get busy with things I do have moments of not being here too...

Mind seems a few people are missing or busy with other things, hope Ahimsa is okay and Uber.

I know.. hope she finds time to come back and chat, and that she's just super busy looking after her Grandson.

Carl wrote: that should draw him out

lol.. will have to see if that works.. or not..

maybe this will work

does that camera remind anyone else of "Wall-E", that new animated movie?

just looked at the file size of the last one and its just over the maximum upload size so will do that one tomorrow cause need sleep.

So will say night night now

Ahimsa certainly seemed to have become MIA I'm going to live forever or die trying ........Carl

Sorry, I've been sick. One of Daniel's and Ronda's friends invited them over and after they were there the guy started coughing and said, "oh, oops, I forgot to tell you I'm sick". I was sick a few days later and don't seem to be able to get well. Daniel is also still sick, but not as bad.

Missed being here though. Haven't done anything with FF in quite some time.


Carl, you are Superman.

These are looking great Beliria. You have made a place I would like to visit. I like how you are using more dramatic lighting. I'm not a big fan of flat lighting. I'm with Craig – I like the second one best.

Kraellin wrote: so, you going to buy me one for christmas?

Hey Craig, since you have been so nice, I will agree to buy you three of them on the condition that you buy me just one of these.

Hi ahimsa. Missed you. You know FFv2 beta will be out soon.
I have been great. Still Mayaing along. Been working on a project but I can't talk about it. Taking longer then I planned but requires a lot more script and expressions than I expected - also having to do some GUI BS.

ahimsa wrote: will the filters still work on his version?

I don't know. My guess is, probably.

Let's hope it doesn't turn ugly. You may find this impossible to believe but I'm easy to rub the wrong way. I do not like anyone living with me that I'm not having sex with.

Sounds like it could work. I suppose you could improve your prospects for peaceful coexistence by having sex with your son's wife, but then again that could be a recipe for disaster.

Weird people are my favorite kind.
Have you been doing anything creative lately? Anything in the visual arts?
