Smaller prediction, but I think videography and movies will jump to the next level soon. It's almost there, but what's held back a lot is that you still need to operate a steadicam for decent playback. It's a pain in the ass (I know, I have two and suck at using both).
Gimbal's are going way down in price, thanks to drones. Once you can get a decent one for a few hundred buck and a great 4k camera for a few hundred more, or some kind of phone with glass available (Sony had the right idea with those lenses that were controlled with a smart phone, just a weird item to grasp..yet).Only a handful of years ago we had to bolt a rig with gyroscopes to a helicopter and put a $100k camera in there w/ a dedicated operator. Not cheap. Now you can get better video with a toy.
Then with editing being able to be done on a tablet, etc., the possibilities get much bigger.
[Reliable] entertainment is changing too. Up until Netflix, you had to rely on knowing an actor or director to 'judge' a movie. Now that Netflix has a stellar reputation, everyone will watch anything they produce. Amazon is close behind.
I hope these converge and you get more quality with less cost (and less "stars").
- Good comments. I agree with (almost) everything.youngdesigner
- I kind of agree. Though people have been saying this since the 80's - camcorders! vhs! mini-dv! etc.inteliboy
- as vod becomes the new standard, atleast in the near future, will pre-vod movies soar and theatrical releases be something you tell future generations about orArchitectofFate
- yeah, it's been said before, but I think this time all the pieces are there. The stabilization is a really key to looking "professional"formed
- I should say "part" of the key, obviously there's a lot to making a film, but that's always the first giveawayformed
- Theatrical movies will be around indefinitely. I think Star Wars is proving that big time.CyBrainX
- I really want a drone but I know I'll make a mistake and end up getting the military shooting down my flying GoPro.CyBrainX
- I hope cinemas keep the crowds coming. People do love spending money on stuff, doing stuff, going out, breakfast, dinners, shows. So it's not dire yet.inteliboy
- Stabilising and drones shots have changed the game for sure -- we've had a drone on nearly every outdoors shoot this year.inteliboy
- plus the alexa mini is a godsend on one of those things.inteliboy
- Check the DJI Osmo camera. Handheld 4K witha gimbal for $700.stoplying
- it's been said before but it was also true... look at the success of Youtube. However totally agree that this revolution isn't finished yet with more to comes.sephil
