NAB 2013..

[Jose Alejandro Acosta]

Jim, Thanks for continuing to think big even while responding to our incremental needs and requests. Looking forward to it...

[David Kurvers]

Sounds like @Antony should work at the RED Skunkworks.

dreaming about tomorrow only forgets today which is the current reality we have to deal with.

70mm Chip, in single cam 3d ?

"Live lens", formerly "Smart Filter" tech front layer on Dragon sensor for 18 to 20 f-stops of dynamic range???????

Medium Format + Lightfield + Huge color gamut + HDR (native) @ high FPS so that you can change your motion blur/shutter as meta data by blending frames.

Then exposure, focus, depth of field, framerate and motion blur are all meta data. That means that everything would be meta-data. A true RAW workflow. No more NDs. Just rely on the HDR. No more special effect filters, just simulate pro-mist etc based on HDR data. Want Anamorphic bokeh? Add it in post. Want anamorphic lens flares? Simulate it in post from the HDR data. Want to look like Kodak Vision 3? Use the huge color gamut to perfectly emulate it. Want 48fps? Pull out the sub-frames which add up to each 48fps frame. Want 60fps? Pull out every nth frame for 60fps.

Eventually add extreme resolution and multiple-camera interpolation and you can reposition and zoom.

Just strap on a wide angle lens and set your zoom in post. Need to get closer? Reconstruct 3D Geometry from the lightfield and dolly the camera in and out in post as well.

Next step after that: Volume capture. Super dense 3D point cloud of the whole set.

Hahahaha, I love this post

The powers at be at Apple think I'm nuts. :-)

Jim

People think I'm nuts too, goes with the territory of being RIGHT. When people are wrong and they think they are right, they tend to think we are the ones wrong.

Shame about Apple, I predicted the shift Apple needed to make to avoid a decline in the IPhone, and since then they have moved it over to a software oriented product. Not saying too much more, as I don't want to give away the plot. They started neglecting their bread and butter, professional/Mac Pro and IMac lines too. The iPhone is looking absurdly outdated now, and this ban against the the Nexus appears more bizarre than that against the Galaxy Tab, you need glasses thicker than mine to mistake one for the other. Not to mention the thing they are trying to protect is practical minimalistic design cues, that everything boils downtown, similar to devices before apple, look at the PDA's and devices from the 80's, Startrek in the 60's, and the Amstrad PDA, therefore obvious and prior art aswell, it does not matter what a company wants to force to happen in court, it is copyright design issues, not patenting. What is being protected is/something that shouldn't be protect able and old, something old taken into a new context. Now you can buy/rent music cheap on other newer services. When people don't buy the iPhone, application/tunes store and new TV, as much they will need those desktop sales and professional users to give them more credibility. I am still waiting for a cutting edge IMac going on four years, and the greatly improved one that was supposed to be this year, might be next ( and it appears it might not be much better than what you can get in features elsewhere). Everything is going stale to me in this respect.

I have my own stylish design and technologies proposal for a phone that can beat IPhone, and various revolutionary Apple technologies and designs are similar to previous designs of mine, I always have been ahead.

I missed this, I forget when I first came up with this idea, but was planning on doing a lens adaptor doing this in 2004 or 3. The active lcos was too complex so was going to use simple cheaper systems instead. Eventually I converted the idea over to a variable neutral density filter and large optics for extra light gathering. As anybody from those projects may remember, I was looking into a new mirror lens system with normal aperture blur scalable to the size of the set, or stage, if desired (wind issues) as part of my single surround camera initiative that replaced multiple camera setups and allowed most camera movements to be done in post. Still a long way to go for the industry.

Ahead.

[Wayne Morellini]

The new variable density filter started from closer to 100% light transmission, and might still be worth a patent.

oh this is going to be sweet! I can't wait to find out about a camera thats coming out in 2017
