Talk:Genesis (camera)

Is it ironic?
Is it ironic that an article on a camera has no images?! 76.168.54.150 (talk) 23:24, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Consolidate this page with the Genesis page on the Movie Making Manual?
So, the Wiki community has two pages on the Panavision Genesis. There's this on on WikiPedia and this Genesis page on the Movie Making Manual WikiBook. Should we consolidate the two? In theory, the page on the Movie Making Manual would be differentiated from this wikipedia article by the Movie Making Manual's focus on practical aspects of the camera. What do you think? Should we consolidate the two? Dan aka jack 07:38, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

X-Men 3: The Last Stand
According to the imdb, X-Men 3 was shot using a Genesis. Can anyone verify this? If so, it can be used in the main article? RossyG 17:59, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Nope not digital, not genesis. it was shot on Panaflex cameras on film in Vancouver BC

Possible Technical Issues
This ought to be a fascinating article (especially to Canon 5D II owners!), but it's disappointingly thin. There are also some minor technical points that need addressing.

The problem with a three-chip prism system is not so much that the prism bangs into the rear of the lens, but rather that there isn't enough separation between the prism and the back of a wide-angle lens. ("Long" lenses, and zoom lenses designed with a long "back focus" would probably not have this problem.)

There's also the issue of what "true" 35mm depth of field is. The "standard" would, of course, be Academy Ratio films shot on conventional 35mm film. One of the perceived advantages of shooting a larger sensor is the loss of depth of field, which (assuming regular 4:3 movies have "too much") should give increased control.

There are also the aesthetic issues of whether 15Mp is "enough" for theatrical projection, whether such films can or should be directly transferred to DVD/BD, etc. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 19:55, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Filmography list of films
The list of films is too long (in my opinion). RJFJR (talk) 17:31, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

I think that the progression of use needs a list of films to both illustrate the relative popularity of the Genesis and more importantly the types of films and cinematographic styles it has been successful in, this length seems appropriate to me as long as it doesn't grow dramatically --Anuoldman (talk) 16:19, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Miscalculation ?
How can 1920x1080 be only about 2/3 the resolution of a 2k film scan, which is cca 2048x1152 ? Comparing width, it's 93%, and 87.9% area ... the 2/3 figure (66.7%) is a way out! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.56.136.93 (talk) 20:52, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

360 mount?
Dutch ead is not "360 mount". Dutch mount rolls the camera in line with shooting direction. 360 mount is used to shoot everything around the camera. Toke0 (talk) 12:50, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
