+<h2 id="the-gonzo-pi-philosophy-filmmaking-unchained">The Gonzo Pi Philosophy: Filmmaking, Unchained</h2>
+<p>The Gonzo Pi isn’t just a camera—it’s a rebellion against polished, overproduced filmmaking. Inspired by the raw, immersive chaos of gonzo journalism, pioneered by Hunter S. Thompson, this palm-sized, Raspberry Pi-powered beast is built for storytellers who want to dive headfirst into their world and come out with a film that’s as real as it gets. It’s not about perfection; it’s about truth, immediacy, and creativity unleashed.</p>
+<h2 id="the-tree-of-creation-every-take-matters">The Tree of Creation: Every Take Matters</h2>
+<p>At the heart of it is its unique approach to organizing your work: the film/scene/shot tree directory structure. Think of it as a blueprint for you scenes and films with only special files pointing to a new cut, dub or effects to be inserted. Simple yet so powerful that your camera becomes a studio. Every film you start becomes a root folder. Within it, scenes and shots branch out as subfolders, and each shot holds your raw takes. Every edited take is preserved as its own file in this tree.</p>
+<h2 id="freedom-through-open-source">Freedom Through Open Source</h2>
+<p>The Gonzo Pi is open-source because creativity shouldn’t be locked behind proprietary walls. Its 3D-printed body, Raspberry Pi core, and customizable software invite you to hack, mod, and make it your own. Want to mount it on a drone? Make it waterproof? Add a bizarre lens from a 1970s thrift shop? Go for it. The Gonzo Pi is a canvas for your imagination, not a walled garden.</p>
+<h2 id="whos-this-for">Who’s This For?</h2>
+<p>You. The dreamer, the tinkerer, the storyteller who doesn’t need a Hollywood budget to make something real. Whether you’re a coder rigging multi-camera setups or a newbie just pointing and shooting, the Gonzo Pi meets you where you are. It’s for anyone who believes a story is worth telling, no matter how raw or unpolished.</p>
+<p>In the spirit of gonzo, the Gonzo Pi dares you to grab it, run into the chaos, and come back with a film that’s unmistakably yours.</p>
+<h2 id="technical-section-getting-started-with-the-gonzo-pi">Technical Section: Getting Started with the Gonzo Pi</h2>
+<p>Now that you’re pumped about the Gonzo Pi’s vibe, let’s get it up and running. This section covers the basics of setting up your hardware, installing the software, and understanding the film/scene/shot/take tree that makes the Gonzo Pi so intuitive. No tech degree required—just a bit of curiosity and a love for filmmaking.</p>
+<h2 id="hardware-setup">Hardware Setup</h2>
+<p>The Gonzo Pi is a compact, customizable filmmaking machine. Here’s what you’ll need to build one:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Raspberry Pi 4B: The brain of the operation. (A 3B+ or 3B works too, but 4B is the standard.)</li>
+<li>Sony IMX Camera Sensor (12.3MP): Captures crisp, vibrant footage.</li>
+<li>C-Mount and CS-Mount Lenses: Pick a lens for your style—vintage, wide-angle, or quirky. C-mount adapters are widely available.</li>
+<li>3D-Printed Body: Download the STL files from gonzopi.org and print the case. It’s designed for easy assembly and modding.</li>
+<li>MicroSD Card and an External USB3 SSD Hard-Drive: SD card is for the brainz and the External Hard-Drive is for storing your films.</li>
+<li>Power Source: 7800mAh li-ion Battery pack (5-6h of filming)</li>
+<li>Optional Add-Ons: HDMI display for a bigger view, USB sound card for better audio, or a viewfinder for precision.</li>
+</ul>

-you’ll be entering dub settings menu. (ADD:d:1.0/o:1.0) this indicates
-the volume of the (d)ub to the previous (o)riginal mix. So, for example
-if you want the dub volume to be 50% of the previous audio, the settings
-would look like this (ADD:d:0.5/o:1.0). A good all-around background
-music volume level is only 10% so it would look like this
-(ADD:d:0.1/o:1.0). The other setting is fade in and out in seconds (in:
-0.5) (out: 1.0) whould be half a second in and a second out. Now if you
-press enter while the ADD is highlighted you’ll be dubbing. You can
-change the settings later if you come back to the menu.</p>

-isn’t really a traditional timelapse, it will instead do a 0.2 sec video
-at each intervall or it can be set to your likings but 0.2 is good for a
-traditional timelapse effect. At the bottom of the screen is a
-calculation of how long the clip will be if you do the timelapse for an

-doesnt store critical information we would want, because we want the

-like ntfs systems or ext or whatever they all are called. You’ll find
-all your takes even the shitty ones on your harddrive in a directory
-called /gonzopifilms/. One more thing, there are some drives that are
-very power hungry and doesnt come with it’s own power source, now these
-drives are very bad for this particular use because the Gonzopi has
-limited amounts of power for usb use, so to be sure it’s gonna work, use
-powered hard drives that has got a power cord.</p>

-Gonzo Pi's philosophy
+The Gonzo Pi Philosophy: Filmmaking, Unchained
--------------------------------
-The Gonzo Pi is an open-source camera and filmmaking platform built around a Raspberry Pi single-board computer, designed to capture and edit films in unique, hands-on way. It draws its name from gonzo journalism, a subjective, immersive style pioneered by Hunter S. Thompson, reflecting it's emphasis on raw, immediate, and personal filmmaking.
+The Gonzo Pi isn’t just a camera—it’s a rebellion against polished, overproduced filmmaking. Inspired by the raw, immersive chaos of gonzo journalism, pioneered by Hunter S. Thompson, this palm-sized, Raspberry Pi-powered beast is built for storytellers who want to dive headfirst into their world and come out with a film that’s as real as it gets. It’s not about perfection; it’s about truth, immediacy, and creativity unleashed.
+The Tree of Creation: Every Take Matters
+-----------------------------------------
+At the heart of it is its unique approach to organizing your work: the film/scene/shot tree directory structure. Think of it as a blueprint for you scenes and films with only special files pointing to a new cut, dub or effects to be inserted. Simple yet so powerful that your camera becomes a studio. Every film you start becomes a root folder. Within it, scenes and shots branch out as subfolders, and each shot holds your raw takes. Every edited take is preserved as its own file in this tree.
-Press view button while a scene is selected will glue all last takes of all shots in that scene together and play it. Press view while a film is selected will glue all scenes in that film together.
-
-And multitrack audio dubbing
+Freedom Through Open Source
----------------------------
-Pressing enter/middle button on a film, scene or shot will take you to a multitrack dub settings menu. Here you can press record to begin a new audio dub track, you can have as many dub tracks as you need. Next time you view your shot, scene or film it will be mixed in.
+The Gonzo Pi is open-source because creativity shouldn’t be locked behind proprietary walls. Its 3D-printed body, Raspberry Pi core, and customizable software invite you to hack, mod, and make it your own. Want to mount it on a drone? Make it waterproof? Add a bizarre lens from a 1970s thrift shop? Go for it. The Gonzo Pi is a canvas for your imagination, not a walled garden.
-
+Who’s This For?
+---------------
+You. The dreamer, the tinkerer, the storyteller who doesn’t need a Hollywood budget to make something real. Whether you’re a coder rigging multi-camera setups or a newbie just pointing and shooting, the Gonzo Pi meets you where you are. It’s for anyone who believes a story is worth telling, no matter how raw or unpolished.
-Control the GonzoPi with a keyboard or through the network or with physical buttons; Enter, Up, Down, Left, Right, Record, Retake, View and Remove.
+In the spirit of gonzo, the Gonzo Pi dares you to grab it, run into the chaos, and come back with a film that’s unmistakably yours.
-Retake
--------
-After recording, press record to make next shot or press retake and you'll be filming a new take, the last take in a shot is chosen when viewing a scene or the whole film.
-Hint! pressing record while browsing existing takes, shots and scenes will take you to the last shot in that scene. Pressing retake will do just that, a retake. Makes perfectly sense, right? Fiddle around with it, you'll totally get it.
+Technical Section: Getting Started with the Gonzo Pi
+----------------------------------------------------
+Now that you’re pumped about the Gonzo Pi’s vibe, let’s get it up and running. This section covers the basics of setting up your hardware, installing the software, and understanding the film/scene/shot/take tree that makes the Gonzo Pi so intuitive. No tech degree required—just a bit of curiosity and a love for filmmaking.
-\break
+Hardware Setup
+--------------
+The Gonzo Pi is a compact, customizable filmmaking machine. Here’s what you’ll need to build one:
+
+- Raspberry Pi 4B: The brain of the operation. (A 3B+ or 3B works too, but 4B is the standard.)
+- Sony IMX Camera Sensor (12.3MP): Captures crisp, vibrant footage.
+- C-Mount and CS-Mount Lenses: Pick a lens for your style—vintage, wide-angle, or quirky. C-mount adapters are widely available.
+- 3D-Printed Body: Download the STL files from gonzopi.org and print the case. It’s designed for easy assembly and modding.
+- MicroSD Card and an External USB3 SSD Hard-Drive: SD card is for the brainz and the External Hard-Drive is for storing your films.
+- Power Source: 7800mAh li-ion Battery pack (5-6h of filming)
+- Optional Add-Ons: HDMI display for a bigger view, USB sound card for better audio, or a viewfinder for precision.
+
+So how does it work in detail?
+-----------------------------
+Let's start with how to control it.
