FilmConvert Updates Camera Profiles for Three New Cameras

FilmConvert continues the evolution of its popular film stock emulation software with the addition of the Blackmagic URSA Mini to its line of camera profiles.

To truly emulate the look of specific film stocks, software needs not only information on the stock, but also the source video footage. Footage from a 5D will need dramatically different processing than footage from an Alexa to match Kodak Vision3 5218, for instance. FilmConvert of course can work without profiling the source camera, but they do a great job of profiling as many cameras as they can, and they are consistently adding more.

Today's release adds the URSA Mini 4.6k, along with the Sony FS5 and a6300, keeping the line current with some popular new cameras. There is a free trial available on their site, and the plugin works with Adobe, Resolve, Avid, FCP X/7, and as a standalone app. There’s really no excuse to not at least give it a shot.

Mark Duplass Share His Thoughts on Sundance Acceptance

The Calvary King delivers a hopeful message to filmmakers who didn't get into Sundance.

Mark Duplass has always been a filmmaker's filmmaker. He famously delivered his "The Cavalry is Not Coming" speech at SXSW as a call to action for independent filmmakers to stop waiting and start shooting. Duplass also historically creates and works on small-budget indie projects, including being a key member of the lo-fi, bare-bones mumblecore movement. He's also a charismatic actor who brings a relatable ethos to every role he plays—not to mention seems like an overall cool dude.

We love Mark Duplass.

All the above considered, it's no surprise to see Duplass take to social media with an encouraging statement following the recently announced 2025 Sundance lineup this past Wednesday. Duplass, hot off positive reviews for the recently released The Creep Tapes on Shudder, warmly comforted filmmakers that if you happened to apply to Sundance and weren't selected, hey, that's okay. They curate 15,775. It happens.

We all know rejection sucks, but don't sweat it. Be proud of your project no matter what. And watch Mark Duplass's full snippet of encouraging wisdom below.
