Article Comment – Does God Exist in Your Story's World? Here's Why it Matters...

I'm sorry, but I can't write a story that contains a God, as in, a personified God. I'm a spiritual pantheist, so I find that the whole universe is "God". I see God as a digital system that evolved into a holographic experience. My beliefs are close to a theist atheist, of sorts ("if everything is God, then nothing is").

Given these beliefs, it would be disingenuous of me to write about a traditional God in my scripts -- apart from making fun of it, and its followers. But then again, that's a beaten up concept, tired and boring (look at Madonna's current work, trying to stay relevant by criticizing organized religion as she did in the 1980s -- she's not relevant anymore, the subject is already tired).

If I was to write a story that contains "God", it would be a mystical type of story. A psychedelic one. One that marries the old sci-fi with the new psychedelic sci-fi. One that is not shackled in our spacetime. Then and only then, mystical undertones make sense in a modern film.

As for hell, if I'd want to write horror, it'll have to be cosmic horror. Cheap jump scares and inexplicable monsters without explanation as to where they came from don't do it for me (since I don't believe in the concept of "hell", although I'm sure there are some unpleasant places in our universe for sure -- "Event Horizon" was great in that).

Article Comment – We Get Hands-on with the Pocket-Size Full-Frame Sigma fp

I don't like the huge bitrates of CDNG. Either license Prores RAW or the even more compact BRAW, or give us HEVC. I rather have 10bit HEVC at 200 mbps instead. But they only seem to do h.264 8bit only. Disappointing.

Article Comment – DJI’s NEW Drone is Lighter, Smaller, and Foldable... What Did They Sacrifice?

I wish they'd add 24p via firmware update. Without it, I can't use it on films. And I rather have this small one rather than a pro model.
