    Ah okay, so this would prevent any electrical problems, what about if I wanted to replace the flourewcent tubes in a office-like setting with kinoflo tubes/quasar tubes, would it be able to take those tubes or would it depend on the amount of wattage for those sockets?

    One of the well-known gaffers such as Julian White was able to replace regular bulbs in some of the bulb holders or even put them into china balls, are there anything like safety concerns that should be measured before replacing a bulb with tungsten/flourescents/etc.?

    Does anyone know where I can get Ribbon Lights that would look clean on picture?
  4. Gerald King
    Can you post any reference examples of the look you're trying to achieve? Or the look you already have?

    I am not, but that is one of the goals that I want to accomplish. I'm in New York right now. I wish they had something similar to that up here as the Young Workers Committee.

    Edit: I read that you were meaning contracts and other paperwork. Also the Young Workers Group, is this a Facebook Forum, or on this site if anything? I'm definitely interested in learning more about the A/C work.

    Hello guys, I haven't been on too many AC gigs, but I have read the Black and Blue but seemed to forget the more advanced things to do. Are there things that I can do to set me up for success in this gig that I recently got? Like to become a better AC? The last shoot I did that was about a month long, the 2nd Unit DP explained to me that I wasn't fast enough with the lens swaps and battery swaps, but this is when I was doing both the 2nd A/C and 1st A/C's job. And when I A/C'd that time, it didn't seem the DP was too impressed with my A/C abilities. So I am a bit curious as what I can do to learn more like a 1st A/C's responsibilities as well as a 2nd A/C's responsibilities. Anything would be much appreciated. :)

    Is the bottom image with the Black magic filter?

    Hi guys, so I recently went on a hunt to find a way of purchasing the BMUMP, but I read somewhere in the comment section that it doesn't have a global shutter, so I did some more research, come to find out that there was a posting about it producing artifacts. Is it still a decent camera regardless? Tell me your thoughts below.

    Which would you guys recommend for softboxes? With and without lighting kit included.

    Oh okay, thank you for the info. Ah, okay, thank you for the information David, I understand.

    Hello, not sure if it's okay if you want people to view you as a professional cinematographer if it's okay to keep other roles you were as in films such as production assistant, etc. or just keep that on private? What do you guys usually show? Especially on your website? I have mostly cinematography/camera operator/camera assistant stuff and some production assistant roles.

    I need one set in a train station. Would help if the person is alone in that train station. I can't think of any via the train station at the moment.

    So this means, Lighting (down), gel saturation goes (up)? Basically? EDIT: also what do you mean bright red gel doesn't make the light red, what does? Is this just for in terms of reading the sheets?

    I apologize for replying with this thread being old, but which shot are you referring to in citizen kane?
  17. Gerald King
    Was this picture the first one you took, color graded? It looks a bit contrasty compared to the second one which looks grayer in the blacks.

    You worked on Akeelah and the bee? Wow that was awesome. I liked that movie alot.
  19. Gerald King
    Aah okay, that's understandable. So it gives it more depth in the frame.

    what commercial is this?

    That Panchro has a really nice look to it, I love the bend that it shows from the background to the foreground, very eerie. There are ways to make it appear anamorphic? Like an extension of some sort? I would love to see those oval shaped distorted lights in the background. Edited: I mistakenly clicked on a clickbait image on google, that showed a TLS Rehoused Super Baltars instead of a Panchro.

    This definitely helped me with choosing which lenses I should go with. I always hear people obsess over zeisses on almost every set and I never really saw the excitement besides the clarity of it, not spectacular that popped out at me with the image on screen. I mean I felt the gears are smoother than that of the rokinon's, but then I read that the rokinon's also are Pseudo-cinema lenses. I always want to go with what the director wants in terms of what best serves the narrative of the film. Thank you for this.

    So would white reference behind the subject be considered accenting lighting or ambient lighting because it seems more natural that it's in the background of the subject?
  24. Gerald King
    Would really appreciate information, thank you. :)

    Hey Adrian, what do you mean by pools of light? And what does skirting light do? Does it control light to spill onto certain places in the frame or restrict light in certain regions as you said before like the walls?
