Ahh nice I'd not seen those, they are a touch lower wattage than I was looking for but defo better than the ikea ones I've been using. Do you have any recommendations for what to use in china balls if you need a good kit of light? maybe when using battery operated on a pole?

Hi, I'm looking for: High CRI LED 15w or higher e27 & B22 corn type lamps dimmable daylight & tungsten kelvins To be used in chinaballs, and practicals, do these exist? Thanks!

Hi, I've watched a few Youtube ArriChannel ASC master class videos, are there any other databases of these kind of seminars online? or just one-off videos people recommend, mainly lighting based if possible? Thanks a lot

Hi, I'm looking for a similar look to this attached image. Does anyone have a good way to work out what the combination of gels and in camera kelvin which are needed to achieve the warm lamp light vs the cooler green backlight? i.e. an app which you can input the RGB picker info, and it will give you a corresponding LEE filter combination? Alternatively, do you know what the in camera kelvin is likely to be, the kelvin for the lamp light, and what the kelvin and gel for the backlight is likely to be? Cheers Jon

Does a 1/8 Formatt Black Supermist, have the same look as a 1/8 Tiffen Black Pro-mist? It's just that Formatt seem to have stopped making Supermist and I need a replacement. Cheers Jon

Thanks!

Just wondering where you guys find your work mostly? Through directors, producers, production managers etc? And does this differ for music videos, commercials, short films, features? How much is it through referrals vs you approaching them? What do you find best works for drumming up work? a great reel, awards, mass emailing, physical mailers, in person ‘networking’...? Cheers

Whats a good Glycerin fazer?

So are all oil based hazers illegal? Df-50, le maitre, cirro etc?

Does look like Oil?

I'm looking to get a Hazer, probably the "American DJ Haze Generator" (other brand name Antari HZ-100) http://www.antari.com/index.php/web/Products_i/22 but are also weighting up a water based fazer: http://www.antari.com/index.php/web/Products_i/103 I'm more interested in the hazer due to the finer look on screen and slower dispersion. But I'm worried about any health risks or residue covering everything, lenses included, with the oil based hazer. Does anyone find this a problem/issue? I'm not too bothered about fire alarms, as generally we have the option to turn off or cover them. And it would mostly be used in fairly small locations, for 3-4 hours in each. Thanks

For UK : https://www.performance-insurance.tv/ Sorry not sure about USA

Nice one, thanks Macks & Michael

Does anyone know of any blogs, websites etc for "Before & after" shots in big budget features? e.g. examples of straight out of camera Alexa footage , through to the final grade? Thanks

Possibly flame retardant PU coated sail cloth? http://www.profabrics.co.uk/products/pu-coated-polyester-fire-retardent

Sorry to hear that Tyler. Yeah ordinarily I'd just use my insurance, it's just that a few lower budget shorts have come in that I think I'll ask to cover my excess should I need to claim, which I reckon is kinda fair

Cheers Landon,

Ahh yeah looks interesting thanks

I've shot a few low budget shorts recently and without questioning they just asked how much my gear was to get it covered under their insurance (www.performance-insurance.tv) That being said they generally don't, and expect me to have it. So for low budget jobs either have a deal for them to pay my excess. Try and get them to insure it. Or get insurance with no excess?

I already have all my equipment insured for at and away from premises, plus public liability. Just wondering if it's common practice for you to get a production to cover it all under their insurance? Hired in insurance for instance

Do you guys use your own insurance or ask for production insurance when bringing your own gear onto jobs? Camera / lenses etc Thanks

Hi, Can anyone recommend any websites similar to these please: http://cinegleaner.postach.io/ http://flagsversusnets.tumblr.com/ Primarily lighting breakdowns Thanks

Yeah thanks, I'll head to my shop and have a look around. I looked into it a bit and believe 'Ripstop" is pretty similar to gridcloth? Do you know the "non film industry" name for ultrabounce?

Nice one, thanks

Hi, Can anyone recommend a material halfway between bedsheets and calico for bouncing? I feel bedsheets are a little blue, possibly due to the cotton being bleached? and calico/muslin/unbleached, is a little too warm, and loses a touch too much light. Something cheap, lightweight, readily available, opaque. Some kinda cheap ultra bounce material? Thanks
