Our aim through the development of this site, software and community resources is to aid the continued development of Digital Film Production, and that by encouraging an Open Source approach that strong collaboration will entice and develop the software and hardware even further.
By having an entire web based resource as our collective support for any issues is one of the advantages of that open philosophy.
Our intention is to develop new ways of ownership of the images and to encourage a broader approach to the art of the image, thus allowing better craft and practice.
By taking ownership of the media directly from the main camera sensor, a sensor now that can be built and used as to your own needs, will allow even more custom approaches to the software that manipulates those images.
The Axiom camera is an Open Source camera, the first of its type, and as such at this stage houses a 4K sensor. This will grow and the thought being that as new sensors become available then the upgrade can take place to that new sensor. Also of interest is the way of then making sure you are achieving the very best results from the sensor chosen, knowing what it is doing and perfecting the colour science and delivery of the images.
Once recording and then maintaining the integrity of the Original Negative (OCDN) then Open Source solutions will allow new software to custom process these unprocessed sensor raw images and produce results previously unattainable via current processing techniques. To process raw sensor data as you wish it to be processed and to maintain the colour palette chosen is an incredible option that shouldn't be overlooked.
For me this is now a key reason to engage in an Open Camera platform, and to then expand into Open source workflows, or 'OpenFlow' for the processing and delivery of those images.
