  1. Is there a "sharpness" setting within the camera to turn down?
  2. Yeah, like a Sony handycam with better bokeh.
  3. The camera itself looks very nice, but does anyone else feel everything in the foreground is a bit too video-ish?
  4. I remember shooting an interview with the t2i (anything it can do the t5i can do better) and after about 29 minutes things got iffy, either it'd overheat or split into multiple files (losing a frame or two in between). So over 5 minutes? Without a doubt can handle it no problem. 90 minutes? I'd look to a different camera. Make sure your memory card is in check, one with statistics similar to this: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1185200-REG/sandisk_sdsdunc_064g_gn6in_ultra_sd_64gb_card_80mb_s.html 64 gigs will get you over 2 hours of 1080p h264 at 30 frames.
  5. I do but we'd both go to jail afterwards.
  6. Is this an LCD/LED or a CRT? That makes a huge difference in how it'll look on camera.
  7. To be honest with you, I've been getting somewhat paranoid of that as well. I frequently meet people that approach me for advice because I'm the only one in their circle who knows certain things, then they proceed to get budgets and pay everyone (less qualified) but the guy who gave them the answers to their roadblocks. I'm way better at preventing that letdown than I was a couple years ago, it's all about reading people well enough to see if they're legitimately grateful for your help.
  8. I would never put a talented person over a pretty one. With that said, if I had to choose between 2 people of equal talents and work ethics, I'm taking the pretty one.
  9. The world has always been shallow. If anything we've been pushing to become less shallow with stuff like "body positivity" movements telling morbidly obese people they should keep on rockin'.
  10. Just upgraded to the new Andre 4000

  11. Just do the Star Wars Trilogy Arcade game that was at every Hoyts theater in the early 2000's and you're good to go. a third of the price of tron.
  12. Whatever you do, do not claim "free advertising". That can get your in more trouble than what you started with.
  13. My family disowned me and this god damn forum is the only thing I have left

  14. All I can add to this is video games need to stop trying to be movies because it never comes off as "true cinema".
  15. For a second I thought you were gonna say it melted the glass. Did you take a picture of the ordeal?
  16. Yeah after reading the previous posts, could you link some scenes that display some of the jokes (or irony scenes)? Sometimes moments like that work for a trailer when you drop the music to help turn the segment into a punchline. Also just curious, what cameras/lenses was this shot on?
  17. The wife texted me with news of her 3rd miscarriage and I replied with "Hey take care of what's important I'm just hangin' out over here."

  18. Or maybe coming across a "great" director, featuring the qualities Satsuki spoke of, is such a rarity that everyone took the flipside option that the OP suggested. Talent doesn't grow on trees.
  19. Yes but all actions a director performs (whether it be body of work or just the current set) go into the important role of commanding respect once the crew is in a position where those close calls need to be made. I don't mean that to be a special challenge because every person I've talked to who is truly knowledgeable and confident (which is what we've established a good director is) I've had no problem with conceding to. Pulling rank as a first option comes off as cantankerous.
  20. Cameron is a completely different thing to what I'm talking about. He and many other directors are proven products that you trust, I'm speaking of an environment that lacks this pre-established notion. No director has gone their entire early career without being questioned. When you're at a stage like that, "I'm the director" comes off as "I ran out of reasons I just don't know" instead of "I have this under control".
  21. 9/11 never forget to adjust your white balance

  22. This reminds me that I need to graffiti my RED One MX to read as "RED tube Mysterium-SEX" Also Youtube RED might be cool if it's one of those under the table "you can never get banned" agreements that Deviantart or Forumotion do.
  23. With my primary workload having been with internet productions, I can sure as hell tell you the traits of a bad director. Guys who don't feel bad about taking frequent breaks, freak out when challenged by something or someone, lose their cool on making a decision/solving a problem (and I always end up being the one to bail them out), and never forget the wonderful "I'm the director!" when they don't have a good explanation to a choice affecting others working on the project. Now that I think about it I don't think I've ever worked under a great director.
  24. Who wants to be 400 pounds with me?
