  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

A first step toward 6x17 digital...

I guess first and foremost we want a 617 is because Jim wants to shoot with one :-) I think it will be stunningly cool, and amazing for landscape and special effects work. Or for image acquisition for theme park rides or...

Me too!

Amazing stills camera, even more amazing movie camera. Don't know where I'll get the money from but SNAFU.:biggrin: Hope it comes with a Linhof or Sinar mount.

Me three... but one of my secret projects was just revealed by Graeme (Theme Parks)

a 3D Star Trek holodeck room/ride... blasted!

not to mention virtual tours for just about anything, digital signage
and ... I think Jeff already mentioned a basement 3D porn room :)

but thats enough... the rest is classified... If I tell you, I'll have to...

SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE:

dont buy this sensor... its overkill.
you dont need it... its JUST a FAD...
 
I would LOVE to photograph with the 617, my mind hurts when I think about using it for film, but thats because I'm just one guy with zero budget. However, if I had to opportunity to photograph with this? Shoot, i'd treck up mountains with it.

YES! Disney's California Adventure ride, Soaring Over California needs to be redone in this format...even my mother of all people comments that it seems a bit soft. For something like a ride that is going to be a permanent attraction, and especially at Disney caliber, needs something that can't be beat.

And aside from that...imagine the the scientific uses and NASA? Or how about Planet Earth Part Deux?

The content is there...what we SHOULD be worrying about is how on earth it's going to be projected... :tongue:
 
Call me silly for thinking this...but...

If RED and other camera manufactures can make 3D rigs where 2 cameras are locked together to share the exact same composition, couldn't they make a rig whereby the cameras shoot side by side and are "locked" together or "stitched" together to make a gigantic panoramic sort of picture?

Obviously this would take 2 cameras, but it uses mostly existing technology and is already working.

I might be way off on this, but it just seemed a bit obvious...and sometimes those obvious solutions are the good ones. :-)
