Kinoraw is a research and developement project
in cinema with open source software and hardware
Thanks to the support of Telenoika
we've got in our hands an open source hardware camera: the Elphel.
This camera it's used in such dispare fields
as recording underwater images under the antartic ice
or in space exploration
It can reach images with a bigger quality than HD
and even the possibility to record in stereo-3D
HDR
and timelapses
It's open software and hardware allows to configure
improve and develop besides the specific needs of every user
as the creation of new devices to complement,
extend of make easier it's functionality.
It's potential plus Blender's high performance in editing and postproduction
allows us to develop it as a movie camera.
We want to achieve new professional,
profitable and worthwhile workflows
with an alternative logic to the current one.
For the time being, our way of contributing
is using and testing the camera,
releasing the content, manuals and documentation generated by Kinoraw,
as to expand the workflow to run it with Blender.
In this same path we found Apertus
a community which has been working for years
in the development of an open source cinema.
Since we've found a great support in them,
we can't wait to contribute to
the flowering of the community with the outcomes of our project.
We are asking for your support to consolidate
this open source cinematographic alternative.
If you are part of an educational or research institution
and you are interested in our proyect,
you can support us through Goteo.
In exchange, we would give a workshop and
we will mention the institution in any published materials.
If you work in movies,
we could take part in your production.
We record anything you ask and
you could use the footage for whatever you need.
Moreover of recieving a mention, you would be contributing to
spread and improve other ways of cinema production.
Or if you are simply interested and want to take part,
you can do it through donations. You can get exclusive rewards,
beside the recognition in our website.
