I've used Premiere for 15 years now, and I'm over them. I stuck around because of how familiar I am with the workflow, but now it's just gotten beyond ridiculous and I need to get over my insecurity of learning a new program(Resolve).

The Ursa Mini Pro G2 offers 120fps in 4k. But this camera does look wonderful and in a few years I may sell my Ursa and pick this up when it’s price goes down. I love the ergonomics of this series.

At the moment I move with the subject when I’m on a gimbal. It’s a dance to keep them in focus.

I pull the focus rapidly to whip from subject to subject as I’m reading the moment. Wondering how responsive this is.

For dramatized scenes and establishing shots I could see this as super useful though. You are right, it’s a tool.

As primarily a doc shooter, and have only done motorized focus pulling on narrative filming, how does something like this play with the organic nature of doc filmmaking? I'm usually a one-man band and focus is rapidly changing and unpredictable and also has to feel organic. Would this be a good asset for me or give my footage a more mechanical feel? Thanks for any thoughts or opinions on this!

I grew up on a farm very isolated from any youth my age, and it wasn't until I became an adult and then a filmmaker that I realized this was probably one of the best things that could have happened to me. I live in LA now and love it, but I still find the most honest inspiration when I'm away from the noise. Thanks for sharing this!

Folks bashing Black Panther simply don’t understand the social implications packaged within this “Marvel” film. Seeing Wakanda for the first time gave me chills. Knowing how important it was for children of color to see this world beautifully and meticously materialized on screen is why it’s at the top of my list for 2018. Killmongers final monologue occurring within a Marvel film is groundbreaking. And yes, it was beautifully filmed and incredibly thoughtfully crafted, on a level in my opinion above most other Marvel films.
