Blackmagic Design's New Camera Development Event is Now Live | No Film School

Interested in Blackmagic Design camera updates? Well, the company announced via Twitter that it will be hosting another event detailing its new camera developments and it has now officially kicked off.

Via livestream earlier this year, Blackmagic Design introduced the ATEM Mini Pro, a live switcher that combines recording, monitoring, and streaming features that allows you to stream via ethernet to YouTube Live, Facebook, Twitch, and other platforms.

Blackmagic is known for shaking up the industry with its very capable, inexpensive cameras. This month alone Canon announced the R5 and R6, RED is about to ship Komodo Stormtroopers, Sony is expected to announce the a7S II successor, and now, Blackmagic is getting in the game. Plus, ARRI is developing a new Super 35 4K camera expected later this year.

The company's latest offerings are the BMPCC 4K and 6K cameras with a Super 35 sensor. Is Blackmagic Design going full-frame? Are they updating existing cameras to unlock more features via software? Here's when to find out:

July 16th: Los Angeles 9AM PDT, New York 12PM EDT, London 5PM BST
July 17th: Singapore 12AM SGT, Tokyo 1AM JST, Sydney 2AM AEST

What's the Hype With 'Interstellar' Revisiting Cinemas After a Decade in 70mm IMAX?

Here's Why You Need to Revisit 'Interstellar' in 70mm IMAX

Celebrate the love and hope at the center of Nolan's space epic in the format it was meant to be seen.

If we know anything about Christopher Nolan, he likes to go big. Nolan started with smaller-scale stories (as many of us do) with early noir adjacent works like Following, Memento, and Insomnia, then started going and staying big with his illusionist drama The Prestige. Since then, the scale has been various degrees of massive, with the biggest scope in his time-and-space sprawling epic, Interstellar.

While Interstellarmight not be everyone's favorite Nolan outing, there's no denying it's an impressive feat of filmmaking and his most emotional—if watching Matthew McConaughey's Cooper desperately try to reach his family through quantum space-time doesn't make you cry at least a little bit, what's going on, dude?

With Interstellar'sIMAX release, it's a great time to shed some tears in a public setting in one of the most prestigious film formats around. As we mentioned in our film gauge piece, Nolan loves shooting on film and utilizes 65mm intentionally to provoke a tone of massive scale. In that regard, Interstellar was made for 70mm IMAX. That goes without saying, dawg. That being said, other factors make Interstellar a perfect movie to revisit in theaters while you can.

Let's break down the release further below.
