Video Test with Film Grain Added in Post

The Pentax KS1 (2014) has some serious issues with video.  The processor can't collect and process sensor data fast enough to prevent the 'jello'-effect (wobbly video) even when the camera is panned slowly.   In this exampe, I wanted to test the high contrast internal 'Bold Monochrome' video effect and later add film grain in post to make it look like super grainy 16mm film. 

The following 40-second video was quickly assembled following a recent walk to the post office in downtown Phoenix, looking for photographic opportunities.  

The bottom line is that the digital video from this camera is only applicable for  experimental imaging within artistic projects.
