Wonder why they approve the Canon C70 but not Canon C200

If it were up to me, if the camera doesn't have Global Shutter, it should not be allowed. Nothing more annoying to me than when flash/strobes appear on partial multiple frames. Then again, if it were up to me, it would not be allowed to be called cinema unless it used global shutter.

Now do "sound must be remastered for stereo speakers."

Sadly the requirements for sound mastering state that having only a 5.1 mix is fine, and if you’re doing a stereo mix it’s alright to just slap the centre/surround channels into left/right after dropping the volume a bit. https://partnerhelp.netflixstudios.com/hc/en-us/articles/360...

That last point means that dialogue is likely to be quieter than sound effects and music, since dialogue is usually on the centre channel.

The C70 has the same sensor as the C300 MKIII so that could be why. But then you question why isn't the A7s III or FX3 approved when the FX6 is approved and they all share the same sensor.

That's what I'm curious about as well, as I'm looking at the FX3.

I once thought about a high-end camera rental side business. Never really completed the research, but I am curious again... Do studios and creators own these cameras or they usually rent? Is there an aggregated marketplace where I could be able to put my camera for rent if I do eventually get one?

This means Netflix operates as a production and post studio for their many and talented film-makers. The stuff with the red N on the poster -- some of it is REALLY good -- uses Netflix-operated handling. Any video production goes through a lot of steps from raw studio footage to edited, finished product. This web site says that Netflix processes and people handle a lot of that. Also it looks like 4K is their minimum…

When you used actual film it was long lengths of the stuff, hence footage. Lots of words have weird no longer relevant sources. Like “logs”.
