  1. @Victoria SagadyThank you I just want to know whether this same effect be created with other open faced lights like M18, M40 or with lights like Orbit with spot light attachment?
  2. Hi all I just want to know how this shafts of light were created? Does it depend on the type of light we use? And what kind of lights can achieve this effect?
  3. Hi all, I have a upcoming shoot which has to be shot on a vertical format for social media. If I'm shooting with Alexa which is the best approach to take? Can I shoot it in horizontal and crop it in post or can I turn the camera and shoot it in vertical? How to do it and what are the cons and pros of this method? Thanks
  4. Hi all. This is a fairly cliched question but still I want to shoot it up. Is there a difference on image quality in terms of shooting in Alexa mini and Alexa SXT apart from the high speed shots? Do both cameras have the same dynamic range? Thanks

  6. @Adam FroehlichThanks a lot mate. Much appreciated ?
  7. Hello. I recently shot a film with alexa sxt on arriraw format and a great deal of the footage involves VFX. Now what is the best format to give for VFX work after base grading? Is it DPX or EXR because the cg company is insisting on DPX output but I heard EXR is a superior format because it retains a lot more detail. Can anyone explain the difference between the two formats and will it make a difference in the final grading stage? Thanks in advance ?
  8. @Phil Rhodesthank you ?And that's a good start.
  9. Can anyone elaborate on usage of motion control rigs like milo and bolt? Why and how they are used and what are the technical procedures behind them? What are the concepts one has to know to use them? Thanks in advance
  10. Hi all We are planning to shoot a movie which involves a lot of car scenes. My plan was to shoot it in a studio with chroma instead of live location so we can have better control of actors and lighting but I don't think the end result will be as realistic as shooting on a live location. What are the cons and pros of shooting a car scene on a floor instead of doing it in a live location with car rig? And what method do you guys prefer? Thanks in advance ?
  11. Thanks a lot. To my understanding as for as conventional shoot is concerned having another camera may speed up the process by 10-20 percent and not by 50-100 percent as a lot of newbie directors/producers think. Thanks for the answer ? Much appreciated
  12. Hi all, There is a shoot coming up next month and the director/producer wants to use two camera setup for the shoot. He thinks that by using two cameras it is possible to speed up the schedule and complete the movie in advance in comparison to using one camera setup. But is it true that by using two cameras the speed increases or is it just a hindrance in term of lighting and setting the shot in relation to two cameras? What is the true advantage of using two cameras? Can it help in speeding up the shoot? What is your take on this? Thanks in advance
