DoP Tuesday: 26th April 2016

DoP Tuesday

Today we are introducing a new cinema camera to you. Lytro are officially showing off their new 755MP RAW Cinema Camera.

It has the highest resolution video sensor that has ever been designed. To bring it back to numbers, this camera can capture up to 755MP this is around 40K! Step aside 4 and 5K. 

It's said to have the ability to shoot objects without a green screen. Then you can take the objects out, manipulate them to how you want and reinsert back into the picture. A camera like this can revolutionise the way filmmakers approach projects.

But don't take our word for it, watch the video below:

This week we have a little extra for you. Not only do we have a great quote complete with gif from DoP Life, but we will also be giving a brief introduction to Kodak's new Super 8 cinema camera.

'When you’re asked to step into the production trailer for a minute'


The Super 8!

It's back. Kodak reviving the Super 8 Cinema Camera.

For those who don't know, the Super 8 was an extremely popular film camera back in the day, however with the rise of digital footage the Super 8 suffered the fate as many other film cameras.

But now, Kodak are re-releasing the new and improved model to mark their 50th Anniversary
