"Some sort of pressure must exist; the artist exists because the world is not perfect. Art would be useless if the world were perfect, as man wouldn’t look for harmony but would simply live in it. Art is born out of an ill-designed world.”
― Andrei Tarkovsky
It depends on the RAM of your computer. I think DaVinci use more resources than Premiere (at leas CS6) so an 8GB RAM is the minimum needed. A 16GB RAM with a decent processor will do the job fluidly. I have a MacBook Pro with 4GB of RAM and it`s Davinci is smooth until I have more than 30 clips in my timeline, then I hardly achieve to make color correction to all of them. The only thing you have to know it`s the size of your screen. I need to plug a bigger screen to my macbook so DaVinci opens wide enough. In the 13-inch screen of my lap it`s impossible to work because the windows are all squizzed.
Certainly, almost no use for cinema applications. But in fact there is all this wide angle lenses from Rokinon for EF-M Mount (http://www.amazon.com/Rokinon-Compact-System-Cameras-RK12M-M/dp/B00JD4TA...), but are regular and not cine lenses (:
I think it`s just what you said; Movidiam promises to give more tools so a filmmaker has a showcase and eventually get hired by agencies and then maybe that filmmaker can search people on Creative Distric to make a crew. I see it like that. This would mean a lot more than just FB and Twitter for the film industry (:
Personally I`m good with my Rokinon 7.5mm f3.5 (I don`t mind the aperture, still getting what I want). If I would get an extra wide lens I would get Rokinon 12mm f.2.2 with speedbooster. Still, I haven`t tried a SLR Magic lens u.u
PD: Not impressed with the footage neither :P
Wow, imagine that. I would be spending whole weekends to make my own camera. Hope the sensors are soon available for public use, or at least the coding (it must be very complex, though) (:
