4K vs 2K vs Film Test by DP Steve Yedlin.. why the resolution argument is moot!
An amazing video on Resolution by Steve Yedlin.. Maybe people will start to realize how much overkill 4K imagery is!
compares the F55, Weapon 6K, Alexa XT, Alexa 65, 35mm Film, 65mm Film and a great lesson on camera resolution!

"National Geographic Channel’s “Mars” is an ambitious thing, a series that’s part documentary, part drama about the first human Mars mission. Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, and Michael Rosenberg are executive producers, with Everardo Gout directing, weaving together the interviews with space experts and the fictional narrative of the crew of the spaceship Daedalus as they attempt to set up a habitable colony on Mars."

RESULTS! SELLS AT SUNDANCE!
Congrats to Director Andew Bujalski and Cinematographer Matthias Grunsky on their recent film "Results" which sold to Magnolia pictures before sundance! Matthais utilized Lensworks Rentals 6 lens Super Baltar set for a beautiful look on this film!
