I'm a photographer rather than a film maker so I find the movie aspect interesting to watch but this is where this channel really vibes for me, I cant see people discussing optics and camera science with this depth and approachability anywhere else on RUclips. This channel is a diamond in the rough and I hope to see a lot more "messing around" from you guys. all the best and have a great 2023.
We are working hard to be as informative as entertaining and challenge people to really understand the things they knew about but never bothered to go deeper, so I a very happy , that you see us in that place. Thanks a lot man!
@@MediaDivision I think I bumped into the f0.7 video you produced 2 years ago, (somewhat by accident), but am Sooooo happy you pursued that to it's logical extent, both technically but more important, ARTISTICALLY. You achieved the tech, as a means to make the art and it shows. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou! Media Division FTW 💪 💥😎
For Photography you might want to look into scanner cameras, using a flatbed scanner can be a very interresting way to get high resolution large format images...
Seriously, the final shot of the film is some of the most gorgeous and beautiful cinematography I've ever seen in my life. The fact that you did this stuff just as a hobby and to show what's possible is insane given the effort you and your peers put into these. Your videos never disappoint.
you mean as it has 450K views? For this amount of work you have to think in other dimensions I fear. This is about 800$ in ad revenue@@Automatic-Diaphragm
I first saw this idea when DIY Perks did his Large format Project, It was great seeing that idea done in a more professional camera envirement. Also seeing it used is great and very intresting. (After reading another comment I need to add this: I'm not implying that anyone has stolen each others idea, I just find it great that such optical projects get more attention on YT. I actually think that both projects show the concept very well and also show how it can be done with different budgets obviusly since you have more experience in this field you could use it better)
People seem to be under the misapprehension that they invited the technique… they did not. like we say in our video, the technique is not new and it has been done by many in many variants. There used to be a facebook group for people with these kind of camera (DoF Adapters and Digital Obscura). The DIY Perks camera did NOT inspire this project. Our camera was functional long before their camera came out. We were very public and vocal about our development, and we have the post to prove it. I don’t know if Perks where inspired by that or not… it doesn’t matter. This is not a “who comes first” things… neither of us was at any stretch. The more important part (at least to us) is what kind of image we can get and what kind of story we can tell with it. The camera itself is secondary. Also, we take the audience along to get a better grasp of things like the “equivalency of lenses” and make education fun. I am very happy that you think that we succeeded in created something worth your time
At any rate great video, great to know that this is a option, which I could use whenever it fits in to a project. I actually really like that I saw it done with diferent gear, just proves that the concept is really a great idea. Love the channel, I first descovered it with the scope films.
As an engineer, I found your process absolutely fascinating. This is one of the best explainers of camera design that I've ever seen; there are so many bad explanations of depth of field across different sensor sizes on the Internet and this is truly a breath of fresh air. As a photographer who's been dabbling with mating "fast" medium format lenses with large format cameras to shoot instant film, I appreciate the inspiration. It's nice to know that I'm not alone in my quest to build exactly the camera I need. And as a lover of shallow depths of field, I'm in awe of The Iron Sea. Thank you.
Thanks a lot Ben… very happy that you see it that way. I think it really good being self taught with everything in this context as it helps to draw out a straight understandable road to whatever your try to explain. I am always happy when I (hopefully) didn't screw anything up. In the end, all knowledge is mute unless you create something worth watching, doing, using, or experimenting. All power to engineering.
One of the best and highest quality videos I’ve ever seen on RUclips hands down. Here are enough Netflix shows that strive for this level of quality (and planning lol). Using the robot arm for the explainer shots was genius.
What an insane introduction to a channel pushing the limits of what’s possible. Top notch doesn’t even cut it. You’re in a league of your own. Thank you.
MEDIA DIVISION creates the best photo-geek content. Full stop. I've been "playing" at still photography for 40 years but, with each video you produce, my level of understanding deepens, or, more accurately, my ability to explain these niche topics increases 10 fold. Thank you!
Damn this channel just keeps getting better and better. I had to watch it 3 times to absorb what was happening. This is what RUclips is for. Kubrick would be proud.
At least you are the first to say you did… I am very happy that it had an emotional impact on you as that was our intension. Thanks for watching and interacting.

Providing content like that is a game changer for every autodidact in this world. Allowing us to get more comprehension of the physical concepts behind photography. It allows all to get information people studied it in school sometimes never heard of ! I really appreciate it and therefore I thank you, and all people working jointly to create this content ! Keep up the good work
A 1000 miles journey starts with the first step. In the last three years, I bought plenty of "shoes" and "socks", but I still don't have the courage to make that first step... You are inspiration guys, I wish you all the BEST!!!
Thanks a lot… don't be to hard on yourself. Be your greatest critic, but do it anyways… improve every time a tiny bit. Over time, there will be nothing you can't do. Good luck!
Im more of a hobbyist photographer, but I always find your videos fascinating and always watch all the way through. Not too many channels can keep me hooked for an hour. Your production value and explanations are always excellent.
I think this is the most valuable video I've seen in years. I'm a focus puller and I work on hundreds of gigs per year with every tech money can buy (for that I'm grateful) and yet this is so far beyond anything we've done. The build you made was pure gold and the focusing solution made me say "wow" out loud👏👏👏 Thank you for the walk trough and detail!
That is wonderful to hear Radostin… we very much appreciate the input of a professional in this matter. Glad you found it useful. I was the one pulling focus and it was surprisingly manageable in the given context … DON'T try this with fast and unpredictable movements. The slow but constant movement helps a ton. Just like in Barry Lyndon… stage the scenes to fit the technological needs and you are good. Thanks again for interacting and hanging around .
Media Division stands alone on RUclips when it comes to quality and content. I can't imagine the endless hours spent making sure everything from build to shooting to narrative is perfect. You could've probably halved the time invested and still put together an amazing video, but I always get the sense that "good enough" doesn't exist in your vocabulary. Thank you for entertaining, informing and inspiring us.
Thanks Derrick… I will say that our demand for perfection got a little out out hand ;-) generous people like yourself make it possible. Thank you so much and much love from myself and the team!
You videos are a rare example of "the sky is the limit". When ever I thought "how to raise the level on the next one?" this next upload gave the anwser. So proud to be a community member 😎
A very underrated channel. The effort your team puts into your videos is simply outstanding. Well done and please don't stop producing work for this channel.
Well, I’m 30 minutes in and I can’t takie my eyes away! It is an amazing experience for me to watch and listen to people that clearly know what tey are talking about. I admire your passion and commitement to what you are doping. This video alone is truly beautiful. I recommend everyone to watch it. I will definitely stay with your chanel for a longer time now that I have just discovered it for myself. Again, love the work, and I am now going to continue watching till the end…
Thanks a lot Bartosz... glad you feel edutained. We appreciate your kindness and you hanging around our channel... we have lot's of stuff that might be for you as well.
Perhaps the most intruiging, thoughtful, and incredible content I have seen on youtube. So entertaining and so informative. I am just flabbergasted that this content is free. You've got a subscriber for life.
There isn't another channel out there like Media Division. Thank you for the time and effort invested in each brilliant episode. Can't wait to see what's next!
This is the first, probably last, video on RUclips that kept me hooked for ~40 minutes straight (i skipped a few parts) in this year. Glad I found a content creator who educates and captures breathtaking videos. Keep up 👌🏻
the quality of your half documentaries, half video essays are absolutely stellar. thank you for sharing how you conquer new problems, but accessibly visualize them.
A ticket to the movies indeed. Thank you for making transparent your hard work, and the beautifully hybrid scientific and creative world that is cinematography!
Thank you! Was so worth the wait for this video and instilled me with confidence to eventually make one some day soon. I love the low light, DOF, wide viewing angle, and look created by this setup!
Thanks a lot David… we will drink to you! You make independent content like this possible - and we salut you for it. Very happy you find the images good!.
DIYPerks mention number XXX… as this comes up a lot, here is a standard answer: We built this camera long before DIY perks posted their video, and we got the posts to prove that all over the place. I don't know if we inspired their built or if that is a pure coincidence. While it also also a DoF adapter design these camera are very different beast. Also, we use our camera for what it is supposed to do… film something worth watching. The episode gives us the opportunity to teach about the equivalency of lenses and other interesting things, the camera built itself is just a vehicle to do that.
Even the great ONE , Kubrick , would been blown away if he could see this video ☆☆☆☆☆ The skill and talent you guys have , is the best i've ever seen ☆☆☆☆☆
@@MediaDivision i'm sure of it ☆☆☆☆☆ I wish you and your team , a very succesfull and happy 2023 And i hope , i can enjoy your video's lots of years in the future ☆☆☆☆☆ Grtz from the netherlands Johny geerts
Discovered your channel through this video. The pacing, production, explanations, and everything else are nothing short of extraordinary and professional. You've easily earned my support and I look forward to watching your previous and future content.
Thank a lot for your support Hoang. The Team and I salute you. We also thank you for your kindness. We hope you enjoy a nice long binge watch session! These videos are for you!
Thanks! Edit: Not much to say thanks, but this is the most beautifully produced camera-hardware-related technical video I've seen in a long while. This question has been something I've wondered about before, regarding how wider (or lower f-stop) will be physically possible. Absolutely fascinating documentary. Insightful! Kudos for the breakdowns too, not that I'll possibly ever be in a position to replicate in my lifetime, I guess, but the thinking process involved in the building is definitely appreciated. Edit 2: And surprisingly, giving my first ever RUclips thanks to a channel I saw for the first time, on their first video I watched. The algorithm must be algorithm-ing indeed
Thank you for all the work you are doing, incredible stuff in a sea of mediocre youtube content. Absolutely worth paying for the membership. Keep up the good work!
First video of yours I watched. I am really impressed with the production quality and the storytelling is really nicely paced and thorough. I love it and will be watching more! Thank you for creating something different.
So happy you followed up on this topic. There was of course the video b Über Hoover a few years ago and a few attempts at something similar. Including an interesting combination of anamorphic lenses combined with an anamorphic adapter in the front (so the image is spherical but squeezed in both directions). There is a 29mm (prime prime) f/0.8 lens for MFT, but it's similar dof to a 50mm f/1.4 which people are used to on Full Frame. Yet I still want one. Eventhough it's more like T1.02 (at the center) and T1.8 at the edges. I have a large format camera that's 13.5cm f/4.5 and I have shot dry plates with it. People had to hold still for 10 seconds wide open and the negatives are really really thin. The largest lens I have is a 150mm f/1. But it's not made for visible light but thermal infrared, because the lens elements are made of Germanium. It's slower than your 300mm f/2.8 but faster lenses exist for thermal infrared cameras too, so do telescopes (using mirrors). I believe a patent for a f/0.37 lens does exists, but it's using mirrors and might not be physically feasible. LargeSense 811 is just four LargeSemse 45 joined together. Similar to the Arri 65 sensor perhaps. You can get such sensors much cheaper. Look at X-ray detector plates. They have a sintilaton layer to convert x-rays into visible light due to fluresence. You could remove that layer and end up with a rather large visible light detector. It will be low resolution, large pixels and has some stiching lines. It's essentially what LargeSense sells, ready made for photography. There is a video from Ben over at Applied Science that shows how such a detector plate works (for x-rays). and you can find them on eBay for like 500 bucks. it's a project I have thought about a few times. But been told it's dangerous. The largest digital sensors are 81x81 mm and are made for space telescopes by Teledyne. there is 61x61 "scientific" cameras you can buy starting around 50k for astro cams. These are also actively cooled. There is another reason to use large format. In stills, like landscape you wand really deep depth of field. But stopping down would introduce a loss of sharpness due to diffraction. What many don't realize is that diffraction is inherent, and becomes and issue when the aperture is small. But if you are shooting large format wide angle, your focal length might be 450mm. And stopping down to f/128 will leave your aperture several cm open. So you do not have issue with diffraction. The intro shot made me think Adam Driver, seen too many wide Kylo memes. Turning your room into a camera obscura reminds me of a photographer I once met. They were shooting in an equally giant lens but not on ground glass but glass plates directly. Essentially a window pane that had emulsion brushed onto. And the developer would be sprayed on with a garden hose. The camera and darkroom where an old school gym with a giant separation curtain. There is a story about a pinhole camera the size of an aircraft hangar, with several months of exposure time. And finally if you do VLBI (very long baseline interferometry), your synthetic aperture can have the size of the planet or even the solar system (LISA). But that goes beyond imaging or even filmmaking.
We are subscribed to this channel because of the information, the stunning quality, the effort you put into this (which we know just how labour intensive that is). The fact you build a rapport with your audience by answering all comments just to name a few. Which leads us to the next point of just how frustrating it is to scroll through comments and whiteness the ignorance of the select few who out of this entire video believe it is their duty to point out your pronunciation of “groves ” (so what they have never heard an accent before?) or how some other RUclipsr posted their video before yours so therefore you must have stolen the idea from them. Just goes to show how uninformed individuals who are supposed to be adults really act. You are a class act in every facet. Love your responses, love the channel, love that it’s posted for free here on YT. Hope to get our channels quality on par with yours! Thanks for all you do.
Hey man… thanks a lot for you kindness and for hanging around, interacting, and most of all… understanding ;-) Don't worry about those comments… I am in the lucky position that I do educational thinks that are for the most par "non controversial" and most comments are really nice and motivating… like yours is very much. Yes, there are mistakes made (everybody does), there are language problems (I am not a native english speaker), and some people are so lost in the Dunning-Kruger effect it is hardly worth to type an answer - My audience and me has to live with that… and it is not a huge problem. Once in a blue moon, I have a real turd comment and that simply get's deleted… I like to assume that they wrote it sitting on the toilet. In Germany we have a saying: What doest the oak care when a pig scrubs is back on it in the moonshine. Thanks again for being so nice… good luck on your YT journey and more importantly, as a filmmaker, because, that is what we really are.
I am genuinely always astounded by the work that you all do. By far, the highest quality of work that I have seen on this platform and I don’t mean that in terms of videography only but just the sheer dedication the team must have to present such a highly informative yet entertaining video in such a innovative way that the video in itself is a work of art. These videos must take so long and so much hard work to create and it is so evident in every second of viewing. I used to look at the duration of these videos and was demotivated to click on them due to how long they were but the second I started watching I fell in love and now always take out the time and enjoy the work of you talented artists.
That theme song and deutche accent… just triggers abundant pleasant chemicals in my brain. It must like like Star Wars enthusiasts hearing the opening music on a new film they’ve not yet seen. Breathtaking awe and anticipation.
@@MediaDivision Don’t worry your English is perfect; even with flawless W’s! Now how do I get the media division theme song as my iPhone ringtone? I’ve listened to the original song and it’s just not my jam.
How this channel doesn't have 1+ million subscribers is beyond comprehension. Well done guys. Another amazingly interesting and incredibly well produced production.
Thanks a lot Jack… well, to few nerds in the world?!? Or maybe we are not good enough in spreading the word. Always happy for the support of our nerds around here. Merry Xmas
This channel is just insane, but they're probably doing over-quality: to scale up, they'd need to produce content more people can enjoy while dropping their cost basis. Basically like PewDiePie testing a video game in his couch, every single day lol. Depends what you want: money, or building a camera.
@@ypierro with this attitude the world would be all about piling up more and more shit. There is a place for things that matter… things with soul… and I refuse to believe otherwise.
First to mention the DIYPerks video in these comments… as it will happen 2564 times… here a standard answer: We built this camera long before DIY perks posted their video, and we got the posts to prove that all over the place. I don't know if we inspired their built or if that is a pure coincidence. While it also also a DoF adapter design these camera are very different beast.

@@MediaDivision Okay look I dont really care who inspired what, I enjoyed your video as much as theirs. Its super interesting and great to have such an in-depth video from you guys. No need to get defensive.
Looks like Christmas came early this year! Yeah, so for my money? This is your masterpiece. It's not selling anything. This genuinely is (and comparison is always reductive but at least to me, an American) your show is much more Mythbusters or Bill Nye - for anyone interested in image-making. They got people excited about stuff. You do too. But you man? You go WAY past them. You soar leagues past. You're the one with the Kubrickian attention to detail. A must-watch for anyone who finds the science of picture-making fascinating. This episode, too, did it with a challenging topic. Any seasoned master of information delivery would struggle. You don't make it look like a piece of cake! Better. You make it FEEL like one. Thank you for taking extra time on this to elaborate more how others can contribute to this channel & its growth. This is what everyones contributions actually enable. Absolutely astounding. Can I also highlight? You bust your ass. You use all the brainpower you have. In this day and age, that's a rare quality. The programs you make truly arouse curiosities. ALSO The Iron Sea also is a legit work of art. Functions completely on its own merit. Not even blowing smoke. Beautiful piece. SO glad I joined the Division. Cheers from LA, Soren.
Hey Soren… just to get that out of the way… thank you so much for your support and for being a member… but more, way more for writing us this. It is beautiful and really encapsulate everything that we strive for. This is one to frame and hang on the wall (instead of that lousy Creator Award) to remind us WHAT we should do and WHY we should do it. If it is worth anything, it is that you, and other like you feel this way about our work. Very inspirational for me… and for the whole team. We salute you Soren! Thank you! Have a very wondeful 2023
Thank you for this wonderful work you have done in an environment where ridiculous videos are watched in incredible numbers. Thanks to you, I became interested in photography. Good luck with .
truly a channel un like any other. i do a lot of close up shots, stop motion stuff, and i can get these effects with normal lenses since they are all close ups. i have always seen the narrow focus plain as a problem, but watching this, i think i should use it as an advantage when needed.
Amazing content guys! Always thrilled to discover what you have created. Really inspiring and educational. Thanks a lot and wonderful Christmas to you all! 🙏🎄
Thanks a lot for your kindness and your support Vibes… very much appreciated. We love and salute you! Hope you had a great Christmas and wish you a happy new year!
I think this is basically the same concept that DIY Perks used in one of his videos. But I love the in depth explanation of this Media Division video. Such a cool concept and the results were crazy!! I am going to make one some day
Yes… like we and dozens of others did before them. We definitely did this more for the image we could create with it and the teaching opportunity it gives rather than the camera built itself.
A fantastic and informative episode. I teach Light & Optics at a University, and the way you visually explain the depth of field and equivalency of lenses is exceptionally good! I'll be sending my students your way in the future.......
Thank you so much for your kindness… and thank you for sending by viewers. I am very happy that our work is appreciated by professional educators like yourself.
This was some of the most impressive videography I've seen so far. Especially watching the HDR version on my 3000nits screen was truly breathtaking. And great video overall too! 👍👍👍🎉💪
Your Videos are just absolute gold! Thank you for producing such high quality Videos. One can totally see the love to the craft! Keep it up und Frohe Weihnachten!
I remember using DIY depth of field adapters with the old Canon cameras like the XL1 😁. Enjoyed using those back then. People would use those clear fake CDs and sand them down, then spin those. A Fresnel lens would be used on the lens side to reduce vignette. Also, groves? i assume it was meant to be grooves?
I have that DoF adapter from my times with the DXX100… but you really wouldn't use fresnels here… the system is small enough for glass lenses Also, english is not my first language, and my german orthography is bad already… just ignore any kind of spelling errors
Thanks! Just suuuuper cool, educational and inspiring. Makes me want to play some more with my 25mm f/0.95 Voigtländer for MFT again soon. Even though it’s still vastly different worlds. Love your behind the scenes and post-mortem explorations. Do you have plans to shoot more with this system? And yah, the video on Canon FD lenses was also really awesome.
Thanks a lot Clayton… you are very kind and your support makes it possible. We salute you! We did a scene for a feature already (not something you will be hearing of I guess) but our personal exploration of it is probably concluded with this video… but who knows?!
I'm starting My Journey on the photo side at 35yo....and your channel has provided me so much infotainment that My like and subscription is something more than deserved...I really hope more content like this gets uploaded to the platform, since it's pure gold

Be aware that we can only do extensive consulting for our Kubrick Members… otherwise we go insane and can't feed children.
Kann man gar nicht in Worte verpacken. Was ihr hier jedes mal abliefert ist einfach absurd gut!! Ich muss jetzt echt Member werden
Danke danke… und… ich bin voll dafür ;-)
Providing content like that is a game changer for every autodidact in this world. Allowing us to get more comprehension of the physical concepts behind photography. It allows all to get information people studied it in school sometimes never heard of !
I really appreciate it and therefore I thank you, and all people working jointly to create this content !
Keep up the good work
We really hope it can do exactly that. Thanks for being around and engaging with us Nico!
Autodidactism is a field of scientific inquiry and study that I'd hope to/like to see far more often in the future! :D
This channel is just pure gold. I don't understand the lack of subscribers.
RUclips policies?… to few nerds? You not spreading the word? ;-)
Thanks man!!!
A 1000 miles journey starts with the first step. In the last three years, I bought plenty of "shoes" and "socks", but I still don't have the courage to make that first step... You are inspiration guys, I wish you all the BEST!!!
Thanks a lot… don't be to hard on yourself. Be your greatest critic, but do it anyways… improve every time a tiny bit. Over time, there will be nothing you can't do. Good luck!
Myth Busters of the videography. Thanks.
I like that thought… thank you
Im more of a hobbyist photographer, but I always find your videos fascinating and always watch all the way through. Not too many channels can keep me hooked for an hour. Your production value and explanations are always excellent.
Glad that we can keep you edutained! Thanks. lot for hanging with us.
Incredible and fascinating video Nikolas.
Thanks a lot Philip… feeling blessed that someone like you enjoys the show. In my case… it's not hard to meet my maker ;-)
Incredible production quality of this video!
Thanks a lot man… really appreciate your kindness and interacting!
I think this is the most valuable video I've seen in years. I'm a focus puller and I work on hundreds of gigs per year with every tech money can buy (for that I'm grateful) and yet this is so far beyond anything we've done. The build you made was pure gold and the focusing solution made me say "wow" out loud👏👏👏 Thank you for the walk trough and detail!
That is wonderful to hear Radostin… we very much appreciate the input of a professional in this matter. Glad you found it useful. I was the one pulling focus and it was surprisingly manageable in the given context … DON'T try this with fast and unpredictable movements. The slow but constant movement helps a ton. Just like in Barry Lyndon… stage the scenes to fit the technological needs and you are good. Thanks again for interacting and hanging around .
Imagine trying to pull focus on this thing though. It would nearly be impossible on a moving subject. 🤣
Media Division stands alone on RUclips when it comes to quality and content. I can't imagine the endless hours spent making sure everything from build to shooting to narrative is perfect. You could've probably halved the time invested and still put together an amazing video, but I always get the sense that "good enough" doesn't exist in your vocabulary. Thank you for entertaining, informing and inspiring us.
Thanks Derrick… I will say that our demand for perfection got a little out out hand ;-) generous people like yourself make it possible. Thank you so much and much love from myself and the team!
You videos are a rare example of "the sky is the limit". When ever I thought "how to raise the level on the next one?" this next upload gave the anwser. So proud to be a community member 😎
Hey Peter… thank you so much for being a member! You make it possible! We salute you!! Hoffe Du hattest eine schöne Weihnachten!! Danke für alles
No. This video is "sky is no longer the limit".
A very underrated channel. The effort your team puts into your videos is simply outstanding. Well done and please don't stop producing work for this channel.
I tend to agree ;-) Please help us to spread the word. Will try man and thanks for hanging
Well, I’m 30 minutes in and I can’t takie my eyes away! It is an amazing experience for me to watch and listen to people that clearly know what tey are talking about. I admire your passion and commitement to what you are doping. This video alone is truly beautiful. I recommend everyone to watch it. I will definitely stay with your chanel for a longer time now that I have just discovered it for myself. Again, love the work, and I am now going to continue watching till the end…
Thanks a lot Bartosz... glad you feel edutained. We appreciate your kindness and you hanging around our channel... we have lot's of stuff that might be for you as well.
Perhaps the most intruiging, thoughtful, and incredible content I have seen on youtube. So entertaining and so informative. I am just flabbergasted that this content is free. You've got a subscriber for life.
Nice to have you around Charles. Very glad you feel edutained. We have a lot more videos with a similar approach... enjoy your binge watch session!
highly underrated video, as of writing this the video has been up for 2 weeks and only has 243k views
the project deserves soo much more
Thanks a lot... we can always use more views. Spread the word?! In the end, it is a very small audience this kind of video appeals to.
There isn't another channel out there like Media Division. Thank you for the time and effort invested in each brilliant episode. Can't wait to see what's next!
Thanks a lot for your support Joe. Your generosity makes content like this possible. Your kindness is just as welcome.....
the Division salutes you!
This is the first, probably last, video on RUclips that kept me hooked for ~40 minutes straight (i skipped a few parts) in this year.
Glad I found a content creator who educates and captures breathtaking videos.
Keep up 👌🏻
That doesn't sound good for the platform ;-) Thanks a lot man… will try!
Popcorn popping now
Me too :-) Enjoy
the quality of your half documentaries, half video essays are absolutely stellar. thank you for sharing how you conquer new problems, but accessibly visualize them.
Thanks Mark... appreciate your kindness. Thats exactly what we are trying to accomplish, very happy it works for you.
Would such contraptions (and the surreal images they produce!) be the future of filmmaking? I hope
I think absolutely not... it is not how we experience the world. The use cases are very limited.
A ticket to the movies indeed. Thank you for making transparent your hard work, and the beautifully hybrid scientific and creative world that is cinematography!
Thank you so much Ryan … I wish I could hand out some popcorn to all those getting that "ticket". We salut you! You make it possible!
Thank you! Was so worth the wait for this video and instilled me with confidence to eventually make one some day soon. I love the low light, DOF, wide viewing angle, and look created by this setup!
Thanks a lot David… we will drink to you! You make independent content like this possible - and we salut you for it. Very happy you find the images good!.
Speechless. Sincerely a photographer very interested in optics.
Thanks man… happy you get something out of it!
"Warp speed"::: You have so many creative and really great ideas: SENSATIONAL... 👍👍👍👍
Thanks a lot man... appreciated
DIY Perks, sends best regards!
DIYPerks mention number XXX… as this comes up a lot, here is a standard answer:
We built this camera long before DIY perks posted their video, and we got the posts to prove that all over the place. I don't know if we inspired their built or if that is a pure coincidence.
While it also also a DoF adapter design these camera are very different beast.
Also, we use our camera for what it is supposed to do… film something worth watching.
The episode gives us the opportunity to teach about the equivalency of lenses and other interesting things, the camera built itself is just a vehicle to do that.
ur very defensive about this@@MediaDivision
after answering about 200 comments about this subject… including offensive and threatening ones… I think it is VERY measured @@calebbarstadreels
@@MediaDivision fair enough
This is by far the most interesting cinematography channel on RUclips and so well put together!! Maximum respect!! 👏👏
Thanks a lot David… please spread the word when it comes up ;-)
Even the great ONE , Kubrick , would been blown away if he could see this video ☆☆☆☆☆
The skill and talent you guys have , is the best i've ever seen ☆☆☆☆☆
I really hope that was true… it would make me so so happy.
Thank a lot man… appreciated!
@@MediaDivision i'm sure of it ☆☆☆☆☆
I wish you and your team , a very succesfull and happy 2023

I love you, man. This channel is so special.
Thanks F… I love you, too ;-)
I LOVE the production quality on your videos! This is literally better than any Netflix documentary out there! Keep it up!
Thanks… why is Netflix not calling…………… darn!!!
Thanks!
Edit: Not much to say thanks, but this is the most beautifully produced camera-hardware-related technical video I've seen in a long while. This question has been something I've wondered about before, regarding how wider (or lower f-stop) will be physically possible. Absolutely fascinating documentary. Insightful! Kudos for the breakdowns too, not that I'll possibly ever be in a position to replicate in my lifetime, I guess, but the thinking process involved in the building is definitely appreciated.
Edit 2: And surprisingly, giving my first ever RUclips thanks to a channel I saw for the first time, on their first video I watched. The algorithm must be algorithm-ing indeed
Thank you so much KhoPhi! We very much appreciate your contribution. The Division salutes you. This is for you!
It was 53.38 minutes that was really valuable.
I respect you. 👍🏻
Glad to not have bored you ;-) Thanks man!
this youtube channel is really incredible... it's a gift for producer like me to find this kind of video and for free ! Thank you Media Division !
Thanks man… glad you find it useful! It is totally our pleasure.
Thank you for all the work you are doing, incredible stuff in a sea of mediocre youtube content. Absolutely worth paying for the membership. Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot Liam… and thanks a lot for your support. You make content like this possible! The Division salutes you!
First video of yours I watched. I am really impressed with the production quality and the storytelling is really nicely paced and thorough. I love it and will be watching more! Thank you for creating something different.
Thanks a lot Leon… very glad it is for you. Please go ahead… our channel has quite a few videos in the style of this one.
Time to put daily life on hold and watch the new media division release 3 times in a row
That is the spirit… I am all for it ;-)
And Thanks a ton for being a Kubrick of course… enjoy your shout out in the end… cost me a night to do ;-)
So happy you followed up on this topic. There was of course the video b Über Hoover a few years ago and a few attempts at something similar. Including an interesting combination of anamorphic lenses combined with an anamorphic adapter in the front (so the image is spherical but squeezed in both directions).
There is a 29mm (prime prime) f/0.8 lens for MFT, but it's similar dof to a 50mm f/1.4 which people are used to on Full Frame. Yet I still want one. Eventhough it's more like T1.02 (at the center) and T1.8 at the edges.
I have a large format camera that's 13.5cm f/4.5 and I have shot dry plates with it. People had to hold still for 10 seconds wide open and the negatives are really really thin.
The largest lens I have is a 150mm f/1. But it's not made for visible light but thermal infrared, because the lens elements are made of Germanium. It's slower than your 300mm f/2.8 but faster lenses exist for thermal infrared cameras too, so do telescopes (using mirrors).
I believe a patent for a f/0.37 lens does exists, but it's using mirrors and might not be physically feasible.
LargeSense 811 is just four LargeSemse 45 joined together. Similar to the Arri 65 sensor perhaps. You can get such sensors much cheaper. Look at X-ray detector plates. They have a sintilaton layer to convert x-rays into visible light due to fluresence. You could remove that layer and end up with a rather large visible light detector. It will be low resolution, large pixels and has some stiching lines. It's essentially what LargeSense sells, ready made for photography. There is a video from Ben over at Applied Science that shows how such a detector plate works (for x-rays). and you can find them on eBay for like 500 bucks. it's a project I have thought about a few times. But been told it's dangerous.
The largest digital sensors are 81x81 mm and are made for space telescopes by Teledyne. there is 61x61 "scientific" cameras you can buy starting around 50k for astro cams. These are also actively cooled.
There is another reason to use large format. In stills, like landscape you wand really deep depth of field. But stopping down would introduce a loss of sharpness due to diffraction. What many don't realize is that diffraction is inherent, and becomes and issue when the aperture is small. But if you are shooting large format wide angle, your focal length might be 450mm. And stopping down to f/128 will leave your aperture several cm open. So you do not have issue with diffraction.
The intro shot made me think Adam Driver, seen too many wide Kylo memes.
Turning your room into a camera obscura reminds me of a photographer I once met. They were shooting in an equally giant lens but not on ground glass but glass plates directly. Essentially a window pane that had emulsion brushed onto. And the developer would be sprayed on with a garden hose. The camera and darkroom where an old school gym with a giant separation curtain. There is a story about a pinhole camera the size of an aircraft hangar, with several months of exposure time.
And finally if you do VLBI (very long baseline interferometry), your synthetic aperture can have the size of the planet or even the solar system (LISA). But that goes beyond imaging or even filmmaking.
The amount of work in this video is incredible. Huge respect
Yes. I have to admit it was bone and brain crushing. Thanks man!!
Incredible production! Thank you for doing what you do!
Again?!?!… I hope this was not a mistake?! Tell me if we can pay you back. In any case… thank you so much!!!
This is worth more than gold
Really???? Give me all you GOLD!!!! Cheers mate… appreciated

We are subscribed to this channel because of the information, the stunning quality, the effort you put into this (which we know just how labour intensive that is). The fact you build a rapport with your audience by answering all comments just to name a few. Which leads us to the next point of just how frustrating it is to scroll through comments and whiteness the ignorance of the select few who out of this entire video believe it is their duty to point out your pronunciation of “groves ” (so what they have never heard an accent before?) or how some other RUclipsr posted their video before yours so therefore you must have stolen the idea from them. Just goes to show how uninformed individuals who are supposed to be adults really act. You are a class act in every facet. Love your responses, love the channel, love that it’s posted for free here on YT. Hope to get our channels quality on par with yours! Thanks for all you do.
Hey man… thanks a lot for you kindness and for hanging around, interacting, and most of all… understanding ;-)
Don't worry about those comments… I am in the lucky position that I do educational thinks that are for the most par "non controversial" and most comments are really nice and motivating… like yours is very much. Yes, there are mistakes made (everybody does), there are language problems (I am not a native english speaker), and some people are so lost in the Dunning-Kruger effect it is hardly worth to type an answer - My audience and me has to live with that… and it is not a huge problem. Once in a blue moon, I have a real turd comment and that simply get's deleted… I like to assume that they wrote it sitting on the toilet. In Germany we have a saying: What doest the oak care when a pig scrubs is back on it in the moonshine.
Thanks again for being so nice… good luck on your YT journey and more importantly, as a filmmaker, because, that is what we really are.
I am genuinely always astounded by the work that you all do. By far, the highest quality of work that I have seen on this platform and I don’t mean that in terms of videography only but just the sheer dedication the team must have to present such a highly informative yet entertaining video in such a innovative way that the video in itself is a work of art. These videos must take so long and so much hard work to create and it is so evident in every second of viewing. I used to look at the duration of these videos and was demotivated to click on them due to how long they were but the second I started watching I fell in love and now always take out the time and enjoy the work of you talented artists.
Thanks a lot Krish… really appreciate your kindness and feedback. If what we do is worth anything, than it is to inspire people like
Super awesome project! Love large format and it's so cool to see it used like this. Great behind the scenes too
Thanks a lot for your support and your kind words. Very happy you enjoy what we do!
That theme song and deutche accent… just triggers abundant pleasant chemicals in my brain. It must like like Star Wars enthusiasts hearing the opening music on a new film they’ve not yet seen. Breathtaking awe and anticipation.
Branding is everything… now imagine that with a German accent: Branding is everything ;-) Glad you enjoy despite our kraut voice overs.
@@MediaDivision Don’t worry your English is perfect; even with flawless W’s! Now how do I get the media division theme song as my iPhone ringtone? I’ve listened to the original song and it’s just not my jam.
Artlist will help… "Saving Tides by Chase Baker" is the name
Mulțumim!
Nu... Îți mulțumim! Vă mulțumim pentru susținere, The Division vă saltă!
How this channel doesn't have 1+ million subscribers is beyond comprehension. Well done guys. Another amazingly interesting and incredibly well produced production.
Thanks a lot Jack… well, to few nerds in the world?!? Or maybe we are not good enough in spreading the word. Always happy for the support of our nerds around here. Merry Xmas
i guess its to long for some, you need time to watch and an above goldfish attention span.
This channel is just insane, but they're probably doing over-quality: to scale up, they'd need to produce content more people can enjoy while dropping their cost basis. Basically like PewDiePie testing a video game in his couch, every single day lol.
Depends what you want: money, or building a camera.
@@ypierro with this attitude the world would be all about piling up more and more shit. There is a place for things that matter… things with soul… and I refuse to believe otherwise.
Super excited to watch the whole video. @DIYPerks build a really similar thing from what I can tell from the intro.
First to mention the DIYPerks video in these comments… as it will happen 2564 times… here a standard answer:
We built this camera long before DIY perks posted their video, and we got the posts to prove that all over the place. I don't know if we inspired their built or if that is a pure coincidence.
While it also also a DoF adapter design these camera are very different beast.
Also, we use our camera for what it is supposed to do… film something worth watching.
The episode gives us the opportunity to teach about the equivalency of lenses and other interesting things, the camera built itself is just a vehicle to do that.
@@MediaDivision Okay look I dont really care who inspired what, I enjoyed your video as much as theirs. Its super interesting and great to have such an in-depth video from you guys. No need to get defensive.
Looks like Christmas came early this year! Yeah, so for my money? This is your masterpiece. It's not selling anything. This genuinely is (and comparison is always reductive but at least to me, an American) your show is much more Mythbusters or Bill Nye - for anyone interested in image-making. They got people excited about stuff. You do too. But you man? You go WAY past them. You soar leagues past. You're the one with the Kubrickian attention to detail. A must-watch for anyone who finds the science of picture-making fascinating. This episode, too, did it with a challenging topic. Any seasoned master of information delivery would struggle. You don't make it look like a piece of cake! Better. You make it FEEL like one. Thank you for taking extra time on this to elaborate more how others can contribute to this channel & its growth. This is what everyones contributions actually enable. Absolutely astounding. Can I also highlight? You bust your ass. You use all the brainpower you have. In this day and age, that's a rare quality. The programs you make truly arouse curiosities. ALSO The Iron Sea also is a legit work of art. Functions completely on its own merit. Not even blowing smoke. Beautiful piece. SO glad I joined the Division. Cheers from LA, Soren.
Hey Soren… just to get that out of the way… thank you so much for your support and for being a member… but more, way more for writing us this. It is beautiful and really encapsulate everything that we strive for. This is one to frame and hang on the wall (instead of that lousy Creator Award) to remind us WHAT we should do and WHY we should do it. If it is worth anything, it is that you, and other like you feel this way about our work. Very inspirational for me… and for the whole team.
We salute you Soren! Thank you!
Have a very wondeful 2023
You are magnificently crazy!
I guess I am… thanks man
Great job, as always; I can't imagine the amount of work you guys do to produce content like this.

Fantastic ideas, education, execution, and entertainment!
Thank you so much Berzerk… we very much appreciate your contribution. You make independent content like this possible. The Divsison salutes you.
truly a channel un like any other. i do a lot of close up shots, stop motion stuff, and i can get these effects with normal lenses since they are all close ups. i have always seen the narrow focus plain as a problem, but watching this, i think i should use it as an advantage when needed.
Totally aware of the problem. You might be interested in "the impossible lens Part 2 - infinite DoF" - thinking about it
@@MediaDivision Im guessing it will take a while, but Im also guessing it will be a dam worth while vid :)
You bet…. And we hope ;-)

So awesome! These episodes showcase so much creative energy! Super inspirational as always!
Thanks a lot Brandon… as a supporter you well deserve the inspiration. Very happy you like it! Merry Xmas.
I think this is basically the same concept that DIY Perks used in one of his videos. But I love the in depth explanation of this Media Division video. Such a cool concept and the results were crazy!! I am going to make one some day
Yes… like we and dozens of others did before them.
We definitely did this more for the image we could create with it and the teaching opportunity it gives rather than the camera built itself.
What's this technique called?
I'd like to research more information.
What a video! Learned a lot. Amazing quality.
Glad you feel educated Harsha! Thanks for hanging.
This is perhaps the most in-depth, practical and gorgeous video I have seen on the subject. Thank you so much.

A fantastic and informative episode. I teach Light & Optics at a University, and the way you visually explain the depth of field and equivalency of lenses is exceptionally good! I'll be sending my students your way in the future.......
Thank you so much for your kindness… and thank you for sending by viewers. I am very happy that our work is appreciated by professional educators like yourself.
This was some of the most impressive videography I've seen so far. Especially watching the HDR version on my 3000nits screen was truly breathtaking.
And great video overall too! 👍👍👍🎉💪
Thanks a lot William… very happy you think so. Always happy to create something uniquely good for you people out there.
God, I can't believe the quality of your videography. You truly are a master videographer.

It is absolutely our pleasure. It's priceless to share it with people like you who appreciate the work.
Thank you for your kindness and your support.
I remember using DIY depth of field adapters with the old Canon cameras like the XL1 😁. Enjoyed using those back then. People would use those clear fake CDs and sand them down, then spin those. A Fresnel lens would be used on the lens side to reduce vignette.
Also, groves? i assume it was meant to be grooves?
I have that DoF adapter from my times with the DXX100… but you really wouldn't use fresnels here… the system is small enough for glass lenses
Also, english is not my first language, and my german orthography is bad already… just ignore any kind of spelling errors
Yup, I remember making one out of a old focusing screen and some pvc pipe. Still love the canon FD 50mm ssc 1.4 I picked up for that build.
If you love creating pictures - whether it's one at a time or 24+/s - you love this channel.
Thank you for seeing us this way Foastcog!
Oh hell yes can't wait
Enjoy my man!
Stunning! Excellent work! I wish it was possible to make something like that I could hand hold lol
Go for it… maybe the right approach is to do it the other way around… Hit the fitness studio and get strong enough
@@MediaDivision haha! I could see a beastly shoulder rig working quite nicely if you get your counterweights right!
Thanks! Just suuuuper cool, educational and inspiring. Makes me want to play some more with my 25mm f/0.95 Voigtländer for MFT again soon. Even though it’s still vastly different worlds. Love your behind the scenes and post-mortem explorations. Do you have plans to shoot more with this system? And yah, the video on Canon FD lenses was also really awesome.
Thanks a lot Clayton… you are very kind and your support makes it possible. We salute you! We did a scene for a feature already (not something you will be hearing of I guess) but our personal exploration of it is probably concluded with this video… but who knows?!
I'm starting My Journey on the photo side at 35yo....and your channel has provided me so much infotainment that My like and subscription is something more than deserved...I really hope more content like this gets uploaded to the platform, since it's pure gold
Thank No Body... very happy to be able to do that for you. Good luck on your journey... we have a lot of stuff that might be interesting for you!
