I’m not sure why we need a specific Film thread. There is a whole sub forum for people to talk about their work. What information are you hoping to glean that wouldn’t otherwise be covered? By all means go ahead, of course, but it just seems a little redundant, as well as likely to get hopelessly cluttered once multiple projects are being discussed.

Premium Member Stephen Perera Posted August 19, 2020 Author Premium Member Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) I know I know but I mean well hahah....I just found that there are loads of pieces in all sorts of threads and thought would be a good idea to have a film only one in here i guess Edited August 19, 2020 by Stephen Perera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted August 19, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted August 19, 2020 If you want to ask Tim Tyler for a special forum, go ahead -- we already have a 16mm and 35mm subforum and considering the fairly small number of daily posts here, I kinda doubt that anyone is missing a post about something shot on film, but it was be easy enough to put [SHOT ON FILM] in the title of the post if that were important.

Premium Member Stephen Perera Posted August 19, 2020 Author Premium Member Share Posted August 19, 2020 I don't understand......I hope I haven't broken any forum rules or anything I was simply excited to share a really great piece by Uli and the fact he shared it in a low footfall thread about tripods felt it would be lost from attention.....and that made me think there was other stuff by people in here that's been done I have missed...... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate your intention, Stephen and thank you for your enthusiasm. The film was shared in the 35mm section about a year ago or so ago and got some warm and kind responses. 13 hours ago, Stuart Brereton said: Ah, the downvote for no apparent reason.

I think I have become the champion down arrow scorer of late .. anything deemed anti film will get one .. even when its not anti film.. I have my suspicions.. and there will be a day of reckoning .. they will pay dearly for their transgressions .. they will be broken upon the digital wheel.. and scattered to the wind .. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Aapo Lettinen Posted August 20, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) the way I see it, voting on this forum is NOT working like "I like this = upvote, I dislike this = downvote) . But it is more like: - "I like this post or it contains lots of useful information" = upvote - "This post insults other members and/or purposefully tries to spread false and misleading, potentially harmful information even when the member who wrote it has been notified about this before" = downvote - "This post contains no useful information at all and is only a personal opinion stated as a absolute fact without any reasoning" = downvote or neutral . Though if it is funny enough post and does not insult anybody, one can upvote it if one likes Edited August 20, 2020 by aapo lettinen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted August 20, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted August 20, 2020 I don't even see how you vote up or down on the forum or where the result is posted... I do see a "heart" symbol which I guess means a "like". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to express more complex opinions, like the ones you've suggested, is asking a lot of a simple green or red arrow. If people have opinions that they wish to share, they should do so, and not anonymously. That is, after all, why this is a real names forum.

So maybe it is just changing to the more traditional "I don't like your profile pic so I'll downvote all your posts" type of system which the Internet is known for :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes you wonder .. that in 2002, a major feature film ,with big stars ,was shot ⅔ inch sensor 8 bit .. and folk didn't run screaming from the cinema .. well except for Ewan McGregors very odd English accent ,which would have been just cause .. and now production are worried about an A73 as a B cam for corporate interviews because its 8bit 420.. and I even got a request to shoot a non VFX TV documentary, running around a mountain for days on end, that had to be 12 bit 444 Sony Venice .. .. I mean I love my little Fx9 FF sensor ,mostly because it makes interviews easier .. but the numbers game is getting a bit out of hand .. 8K ..don't get me started .an ego project from the suits in NHK Lala land .. have to admire the marketing though I guess ..
