Funding for Alex & ML Team to buy & hack the new BMPC 4K & increase FPS!!

[gdefreitas]

Now I believe I am the first to post on this topic. As we understand the new BMPC 4K started shipping yesterday worldwide for just $2995. At current this will be the cheapest 4K Professional Film Camera on the market at under $3k or £1950.

Now, I know this is early days but I am very very willing to put down some serious money on the table & also manage a Kickstarter page to incentivise a group of professional camera 'unlockers' such as the Magic Lantern team to get a base model of the BMPC 4K camera & even contemplate beginning to get at the firmware & unlock the incredible potential it has. Black Magic technicians are clearly falling behind & lacking updates due to either incompetence or slow engineering - but the potential to increase the FPS & Unlock RAW video before Black Magic do??? To get these additional features would make this camera revolutionary to low budget filmmaking.

Once we get at least 50fps 4K out of this incredible machine it has surpassed the RED One and other stupidly expensive Professional Film camera compaines will be quaking in their little boots & have to drop prices to even begin to compete with it. The Lumix GH4 inspired Black Magic to drop their price drastically, to think of unlocking these features will change the camera market & game for all of us as filmmakers. It also takes EF lens mount natively which is lovely for all us 5D Mark III users. Lets get this show on the road!

I'm throwing down the gauntlet..... can anyone pick it up?? CASH REWARDS, JUST TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!! Somebody tell me if the ML crew is interested & I will start a funding campaign!!!!!

Look at what this puppy is capable of, then imagine it in slow motion. Would be insane for the price.... Don't want to wait around for Beta Apertus Axion Alpha protoypes to take another 3 years to do nothing and brings us affordable high fps 4K..... If a good software engineer can do it, he will single handedly change the film camera market & irreversibly at this time.
