Apple unveiled a new iPad Pro with a LiDAR scanner. Before asking what this has to do with Blackmagic Design, follow me for a moment and watch this video made by Apple: www[dot]instagram[dot]com/tv/B95cfpmHXvK/
It shows 4 different apps doing real-time VFX and compositing, thanks to iPad that knows where it is placed in space, how it is oriented and how far objects are from its camera.
Wouldn't it be cool if BM cameras had these sensors? Gyroscope, accelerometer, GPS, LiDAR scanner...
Wouldn't it be cooler if a .braw file from such cameras had 2 more tracks, one for position/orientation data and one for z-depth?
Imagine to import such file inside Fusion or After Effects and discover that you don't need to track your camera anymore.
Blackmagic has made raw video and DaVinci available to small productions and independent videographers and maybe this is the reason why the art of grading is so popular now.
Wouldn't it be awesome if visual effects could be more accessible?
