It depends on what you want to do with your image. Creating effect in post sometimes doesn't have that feeling that you're looking for.
If you need to have a miniature look you will most likely need to achieve it optically so you'll need this or a tilt shift lens.
Unfortunately this is not a license. The FAA is coming out with its final ruling at the end of the year on licensing and rules, this is what the people representing the UAS community is working with them on and is supporting because it will protect the consumer and public.
I wonder if people can mount this on a DJI Inspire 1 X5 to create some interesting tilt shift shots.
I've heard of people developing rolls in their bathtub because it gives the film a different kind of look. Like bleach bypass or other kind of processing. You just have to make sure it's darkroom dark.
Look on the web, I'm sure there's some resources out there.
Shooting with super 8 is great for practicing how you shoot a film. The limited amount you can record can help keep your shot ratios down in other productions because your now forced to plan and think about each shot diffently in your film. :)
This is great if you're already invested in the RED workflow.
I wouldn't mind getting a RAVEN as a B camera or alternate camera if the color science matches with the other camera's.
