ok gregory, i dont know the effects in the video i showed sound more warm thick and heavy, but the ones in Designer sound FX are like weak and not like the ones in the video for example (thats my opinion, dont know if you share the same). maybe they used them but with some fx applied and yeah i know how to mix :)

ok gregory thanks for the links i know both, but i'm not sure if the collection of designer sound fx has those big swishes and hits (thanks for the name by the way) .... maybe if those sounds need some fx in some softwares like protools or something but thanks :)

i did, but the results were quite few :( maybe they're called with another name rather than swishes or wooshes ...anyone knows other names?

okay thank you so much for the answer phil, could you tell me where to get them? a website that is specialized or something like that. or a tutorial that shows how to create them. cheers

hello guys :) i always wondered about how to get sound effects like in the video below specially when the titles appears at the end, i only knw two names they are called swishes, wooshes ... are there any other names (i only knw two)? and where to get them? hope you'll answer regards

1)_ plug in i guess like twitch or something ...i dont think its achievable with a mirror 2)_ as jacob told you 3)_ they used a plug in...there's something like that in vegas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufQxraZGrSc hope it's useful :)

after posting this, i kept digging and digging till i came by an article that mentioned the h264 codec which captures more info in highlights than shadows ...so u have to expose to the right to the point where clipping wouldnt happen ...i use the magic lantern histogram and waveform ...but you have to be extremely cautious not to clip ur highs ...and ofcourse back in post u have to reduce the exposure to where u want :) hope it's helpful

hi i tested this technique today (actually right now i'm doing some post) ...it worked for me indoors, with a torch out of the frame, so there was that kind of haze i wanted :) it just needs a powerful light source and being tricky placing it...what i noticed is that the light of the torch (haze) was blue i switched the wb presets but at the end the light has a beluewish look.. is it because of the LED light? does it need HMI to be compelte white? by the way i could fix that in post, in color balance reducing the blues which worked giving the light a normal look (white haze)...and by upping the gamma and lift i somehow could create that look :) and thank you for that guys :rolleyes: BUT the big challenge was when i took the camera outside, it was cloudy so the light was kind of diffused(which i thought is perfect), i set the exposure, cinestyle and took the torch tried the technique...and nothin at all, the torch wasnt at all powerful to be seen on the screen...so by here i u understand that i need kind of very powerful light source... the one u mentioned is freakin expensive ...so u tell me no other way to do it? how many wats i need? if u can guess ...and actually i tried some tricks like putting a mirror and reflecting it u knw like doubling the light source that i had but it didnt work.

tell you the truth i ain't pro :) aha u know i didnt know really that there's a technique called veiling flare...i googled it, and i got it and i love it ;) actually i came by their behind scene of this video, and i really see what you mean .. its in 1:22sec,1:23 and 1:50 <in this shot the man at the right holding the light but he's standing so far from the camera (possibly his light is so powerful) do u think i can achieve something like that with affordable lights?? ..the one they used seems expensive. i'm going to try that tomorrow, hope it'll work out with me :)

well after beholding this : http://vimeo.com/30859426 i think that arri alexa with its gamma log c has already that kind of washed outlook ...so it just needs few adjustments in post and thats it. on the contrary of dslrs which need some time in post even with the cinestyle (which is in my opinion not that close to arri c log). For me i think like Travis and stuart said lowering the saturation, lifting shadows and gamma(which is essential in this case), and lil of yellows in highlights, thats what i think....ofcourse after setting the mood (environment) with some lights make ups ...etc. but still something missing...i dont know how they created that kind of HAZE which i love, specially from (00 sec to 06 sec)..i dont knw if they used lens flares like stuart said "They have deliberately used lens flare to veil the image. You can do this with a torch or small lamp just out of frame" ... :huh: actually i know how lens flares look... what kind of torch or whateva can make that kind of lovely haze??? lol

thank you guys, i now have an idea about this, but really didnt know before about those equipements that daron james mentioned wooow that's freaking expensive. but thanks to all of you, but i guess a sound mixer/designer(which i'm nt) is needed to make something like that. cheers

as a video shooter, i expected more from the 5d mark III, like clean HDMI with 422 codec, swivel screen, 1080 60p. maybe they didnt make the swivel screen because of the weather sealing feature, i understand that. but how about other features? if i was a mark II owner i wouldnt change it,only if magic lantern hack it and add those features, so by then i would go for a change to benefit from the moiré and aliasing reduction which i find pretty awesome features on the 5d III.

hello guys, i'm canon slr user and i just wonder, how do you expose your normal scenes? do you expose to the right? like the trick photographers do when they shoot RAw? does it have the same effect on video?(reducing noise and has a better quality). some people say they expose one stop to the right, others say one stop to the left lol xD i'm talking about the scenes where you want a perfect exposure,not like shooting in dark. so how you guys do it? cheers

hello guys how r u? u knw i'm a dslr shooter, and really i love the look of arri alexa...its so lovely. for example this video, look at it , its washed out, its i dont knw lookds whitey or dusty or i dnt knw how to describe it xD could this look be achieved using a dslr? i knw there are many factors like lights,lens...etc but any tips on how to achieve this?

i asked the guy who made it, and he said that it was done(sound) on stage, and he told me that he would ask the sound guy about the method, so i'm waiting his answer :)
