Twitter peeps - Who’s heading to IBC this year/next month? DM me if you fancy meeting up. It’s been a while. #ibc2025

Web peeps - IONOS vs GoDaddy for hosting, domains, and multiple inboxes? Had IONOS for years now, but had to buy a parked domain through GoDaddy recently. Wondering if it’s a superior service? Or whether I should just transfer the domain to our IONOS account? #WebDev #Domains

M4 Max 16/40 core/128GB vs M3 Ultra 28/60 core/96GB What we saying? Looking for a machine that’d make working in Blender reasonably painless. Already have an RTX 4090 to render on, so this is purely about viewport performance. #M3Ultra #M4Max @Blender @Blender_Kit @BlenderDev

Anyone out there used any of the Edelkrone Jibs? Super intrigued, but there’s shockingly little info out there about them. And real world reviews seem… mixed. #edelkrone

ProRes Raw internal?! Is this the beginning of the end of RED's stranglehold on internal compressed raw? And if so, is this all thanks to Nikon? This almost seems too good to be true. Like, have Nikon just allowed this? Licensed it? Not seen it yet? 😅 cined.com/panasonic-lumix-gh…

How likely is it that we get some kind of roadmap from Nikon and/or RED at NAB? Will this affect REDCODE, and the state of compressed raw video codecs? Will we see some of Nikon’s tech could start crossing over into RED’s next line of cameras? Could be an interesting time.

Absolutely blown away by the Mavic 3 Pro Cine. That zoom range is just nuts for a drone that fits in your backpack. Took these shots at 6:30pm last night. Really impressed with the low light performance on all 3 cameras. Kudos to @DJIGlobal for creating (imho) the perfect drone.

Twitter drone peeps - Is the M3P Cine worth it over the standard M3P? Looks like the Cine has ProRes, and also an internal 1TB SSD. But it also looks like the standard Pro only captures 4:2:0(?) which could make 4:2:2 appealing on the Cine. Any real world experiences welcomed 🙌

Too late. I bought the Cine 🤷‍♂️ 4:2:2 ProRes ftw 🤘

UPS vs Surge Protector: Anyone know why a UPS typically only has a few hundred joules surge protection, vs a few thousand joules on a cheap surge protected extension cable? Just bought a 3000va / 2400w all singing all dancing UPS, and the 300 joules surge rating seems odd.

@riello_ups_uk Wondering if you can shed some light on this one? Just bought the SEP3000, and currently scratching my head over the 300 joules rating. Appreciate it’s not a dedicated surge protector, but feel surprised to see the joules so low. What am I missing? @rielloups

Looking for a decent pocket camera. Currently weighing up the following: - Fuji XF10 - Ricoh GR III - Fuji X70 Anyone out there have any experience with any of the above? Likely going to lean on film simulations rather than raw workflows. Wanting something small, quick and fun.

So it looks like @Frame_io are about to switch us from $25/mo to $625/mo, as they’re now billing PER user! Needless to say, we’re cancelling immediately. It’s a shame, as I’ve been a supporter since the early days. Time to move to @Alteon_io or @Vimeo Review. Thanks @Adobe 😤

“No CGI” = Invisible CGI. Let’s stop making out that CGI is bad. Let’s instead recognise the immense artistry behind creating CGI/VFX shots that are so convincing that journalists and viewers use them as shining examples of “practical filmmaking”. youtu.be/7ttG90raCNo

Genuine question for CG peeps: Why does @Blender insist on a Z up orientation? I’ve always found it bizarre, but assumed/hoped it’d change some day to match all other 3D packages. But here we are in 2023, and Z is still up in Blender. Would love to know the logic. #CG #VFX

SynthEyes is incredible, but the interface is… archaic. What are the chances that we finally see a major overhaul of the GUI, following the Boris FX acquisition? Would love to see a more modern, more cohesive UX introduced in the near future. 🤞 #borisfx @borisfx @SynthEyesHQ

Why does Blackmagic insist on sticking with the oversized DSLR shaped, plasticky design of the Pocket series? Why haven’t they just thrown this new full frame sensor into a decent cube form factor at this point? #IBC2023 #BlackmagicDesign #BMPCC

Rango is criminally underrated. One of the greatest CGI animated features of the past decade imho. Deakins, Depp, ILM, and a cameo from John Wayne! What’s not to love? Just watched it again for the bazillionth time, and it still looks stupendous. #rango #ILM #CGI
