He has sample photos starting around 12 minute mark - the colour tone he's getting is amazing

Example:

Colour photo of piled up old computers and computer peripherals from the grey/beige era. The colours are muted but not completely desaturated. It resembles film more than the average post-processed digital photo

this is awesome! I’ve wanted to go down this same route and make either a fully custom camera or a digital back for a medium or large format camera, but the amount of expertise and expense involved in making even a relatively simple scanner back (much less a full CCD camera) is daunting. til then, I suppose I can always do an 8mm cinema camera if I get that kind of itch: https://youtu.be/cuwTC194y_8

and because my palms are now sweating about building a cinepi:

and as always, it’s a shame they’re just shy of good 4k and reliable in-camera audio sync because of how flaky raspberry pi’s engineering tends to be. it’d be interesting to spec out a version of this camera with a different SBC and sensor architecture, though I do like how singularly inexpensive and scriptable the cinepi itself is

apparently the CinePi XL sensor is already available and supported by CineMate, and there’s also an even more advanced sensor sporadically available and also supported…

fuck. a 1.2” Sony sensor plus manual controls taken together are more than good enough for still photography alongside cinema use. I must not start a photography project, I will go bankrupt

but I really want to design a camera system around this!
