    Link if you haven't heard: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productList&A=ShowProduct&Q=1203955&sku=1203955 So essentially it's a GoPro, but with interchangeable lenses via MFT mount. Is this the cheapest lens friendly option with 240fps capturing? A big downside is the subsampling being locked at 4:2:0, but some people put up with Canon DSLRs, so not that bad for those users. How're we feeling on it?

    This was a disaster.

    Videos like these are cool

    I've heard bits and pieces on how one shouldn't blast a light directly into a digital camera (or maybe only DSLR?) to avoid damage to the sensor. How much light is required to actually screw it up permanently? I ask because that technical warning seems to have been thrown out the window on countless music video shoots with wide open apertures and work lights/sunlight blasting lens flares right into the sensor. Are they slapping on thick ND filters and boosting the brights back on in post to save the sensor's health? Been stuck on this one for a while. Thanks.

    It's a collective effort of everyone with a slice of creative control. Like when you slap a wide angle lens behind an intimidating character for an over-shoulder shot; that asserts the dominance of said intimidating character. If dominance is something the writer REALLY needs to convey, only the cinematographer can drive that home to the audience. Spoken word only runs you so far.

    The entire point of filmmaking as an art is to convey a story VISUALLY. If people are only concerned about the raw of a story, they'll read a book. Different mediums have different requirements for quality. Some people here aren't understanding that the concept of the motion picture took off because of a visual flare around a story of substance, that flare was refined about half a decade later (titles like Citizen Kane) since the inception and became it's own category of substance. A basic film course could explain how shots X and Y enhance the storytelling ability of visual mediums. All of these notions and parameters are in place to help a good writer transition to be a good filmmaker.

    Are you stretching the clip out itself in the timeline?

    Thanks, David. Good to know these cameras are cheap too.

    Was watching some basketball highlights from the 80's and remembered that every time the camera angled towards the stadium lights, there would always be this lasting streak remaining on the footage. Here is a sample video timecoded to where it happens: https://youtu.be/NySXt7-D-ys?t=7 What causes this phenomenon? At first I thought it was slow shutter speed but then realized it's sports photography. In the right situation I believe it could look wonderful. Thank you.

    I was getting it while doing lines, it was literally the last thing to get after 5 other lines. I probably should've made more clear that an actor was complaining, not someone with technical know-how in ADR or any other post-mixing field.

    When is Matthew McConaughey gonna finish that road trip?

    He hates the land, not the crews.

    Nice, been looking forward to this as well. Have they released any of their cheaper glass for PL mounts yet?
  16. Max Field
    No I meant the "Are we going to get some real food" statement. How could anyone have filet mignon and complain?
  17. Max Field
    That seriously happened? I find the second sentence impossible to believe.

    Title says it all; had a pain in the ass ADR session where I was asked "why do we need to dub breathing?" I personally don't mind "why" questions, as it's an opportunity to educate, however I had to have a 2 minute back and forth hearing "No one's gonna notice!" several times. I eventually got some (begrudging) takes, but I wanted to hear some stories if you guys had any, and advice on how to go about getting what you want/need as the director in the event of unrest. Thanks.

    As time goes on, we figure out how to surpass the limitations of a given medium. Sometimes it takes so long that we get used to and prefer ANY blunder that medium may come with. *cough* film *cough* ;)

    Have you considered that the left hand isn't a real hand? I don't know for sure but that's how I'd tackle that with an Apple budget.

    Already tried the search function as "tripods" but there was nothing newer than 2013/2012, and I'd assume the prices have altered a tad since then. But I'll give the quoted Google a try.
  22. Max Field
    Well could you list some at around 1000?
  23. Max Field
    My situation right now is using a $200 (retail) Benro video tripod that was only designed for 11 pounds. I have a RED One stuck on it most of the time. From where I am right now, anything is an improvement.
  24. Max Field
    Over the course of 2 years, talking to various experts, I had built up a list of heavy-duty tripods to purchase that surprisingly were not all that expensive. Just had a crash on my external drive and lost my little notepad file with all of the names, conveniently right when I was about to pull the trigger on buying another one. Tried Google, and I keep getting suggestions for flimsy photography tripods. So yeah, when you get the chance, please give some models of tripods that have done you well. I'm looking for over 20 pounds of support. (either pre built systems or pieces you like together) Thanks in advance.

    Have any of the Sony V1 primes for sale?
