Panavision Genesis®

Good grief, that thing's a freakin' Transformer!
That sure puts the HV30s us students work with to shame.

If i had the serious money, id definitely buy this. This is best in the industry right now in terms of shooting a picture in HD video. Good examples, Deception, 21 and Before the Devil knows Your Dead. One problem with it, is that its pretty heavy.

Yeah the second problem is that Panavision doesn't sell..
You can only rent or lease them, but you would still need some serious money i think ;)

Yeah, unfortunately a system like this would cost about 25,000 to rent i would assume. Either way, one would need a lot of money to use it as a rental. But damn, i could do some serious work with that badboy. haha

No, the best in the industry right now, as far as HD goes, is the Red ONE camera.

I completely forget about the Red One! Yes that one shoots 4k raw but I've read about it shooting a solid 3k. Both create brilliant theater quality images though.

Yeah, they're both great. I just say it's better because the Genesis reportedly costs a lot more.

*rolls eyes*

Yeah, 4K, 8K, When 20K comes back, you'll be raving about it when it all gets downsampled anyways... God...

Ill try again. I must be missing something. Ive just watched a Blu-Ray that I know used this camera for some scenes. Im asking those here who have used this camera if it is possible to direct me to some of their work . Id enjoy seeing other movies which used this Genesis. Preferably in a theater , art house or on BD.Where the quality can be seen.I was really impressed with the movie I watched.
