Just bought a Mavic Air. Here are my first and third flights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXFTMGDWJOc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATE2FgS9Qe0 Feedback would be appreciated!

Hi all. I am not sure if I'm missing something, but when I am selecting the resolution inside the DJI go 4 app, there is only an option for 30p. I am also missing a bunch of the picture profiles. I purchased this primarily for filmmaking so can anybody help me? Really frustrating that there...

We just finished post production on our newest short film, Robby. This took about 18 days to shoot over the course of 8 months (disparate work schedules and weather were huge factors in the time it took). I am really proud of what we accomplished here. Our group did this on zero budget, which...

I have a Sony a6500 (4k) and a Sony a7s (1080). I will be shooting a feature film with the a6500 as the main cam, and A7s as the B-cam. I am very adamant about using two cameras - mostly for dialogue scenes to have natural flow (I realize this will require another mic or at least a talented boom...

Hey guys, need some advice here... As part of a collaborative effort brought together by me (it was under the umbrella of my company), we have produced a new 34 minute short about homelessness, love and addiction. I was the cinematographer for the project. The director did a great job of...

A new experience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81JEKfhZdQU&t=1s

Hi all - quick question. Is there a tool within AE/PP/SG that will read out IRE values in the way that the "eyedropper" reads hue values? I'm coloring a scene where the YUV waveform is all over the place, particularly in the area where I want a face to read at 65IRE. Because the YUV waveform...

Hey guys, wanted to see if anybody has this same problem. I am a strong cinematographer with consistent, quality results on every shoot I do. Now, I would assume that photography would be the same game (as video is basically just 24 photos a second)...bad assumption. I'm just not good with...

We are at a loss for what is going on here. Our Zoom H4N will take brand new batteries and in less than 30 minutes of use, the unit shows that the batteries are dead, then the unit itself shuts off. The thing is, we used a voltage tester for the batteries that the H4N said were dead...they...

Got a new short film in the can mid-2016. I shared it once but didn't get much traction in the way of feedback and commentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlU9unYxWMg

Does anyone have a direction they can point me in to creating my own version of this intro? Specifically the neon signs (and how they affect the surrounding scene). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXTfBiHkfA4 (it starts about a minute into the trailer) Thank you! Anyone who helps me gets a...

A new short film by yours truly. Excited to share it with you guys, as I've been mostly radio silent for months. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlU9unYxWMg

Every single sound effect I've come across online (paid or free) is just absolutely atrocious. Where do you guys get your gunshot sounds? I can't get a single one of these to sound like it belongs with the rest of the audio. Seriously, I'm amazed with how unbelievably bad the gunshot sound...

Hey guys, I'm also in an unfamiliar situation with my current Director/DP relationship. We have just been handed the finalized script from our writer and now we're in pre-prod for the project. The director is really excited to direct it and has already written a shot list for the first two...

Hey guys, I've been contacted by an agency about leading the entire production on a 45 day shoot. It's supposed to be twenty 3-minute episodes that emulate HBO's Silicon Valley. The budget is $200k. I'm supposed to have a discovery call tomorrow with the media buying company on behalf of the...

Hey guys, bad news. The A7s fell out of our camera bag while packing up after a recent shoot I'm wondering how much it'll be to repair the screen. I see on ebay that you can buy a new LCD screen for the A7s at about $35 bucks a pop. However, I am sure that the repair costs will be much higher...

Experimenting with dialogue for the first time! It wasn't the best, but wasn't the worst. The recording for the dialogue is god awful, peaking nonstop. I'm pretty bummed about that. However, my job on-set was cinematographer so I think I accomplished what I wanted to. I helped write it, shot all...

Hey guys, So I've been offered a music video deal which requires me to fly to LA (expenses paid) for a one-day shoot. I will be bringing my camera w/ lenses, batteries, etc in a backpack that will be carry-on. Ideally, I would bring a monopod, tripod and my Ronin-M, but I know that stuff will...

Hello, I bought an A7s from Amazon (and from that, a company in the U.S.). It was all in English when I first got it. The camera told me that the card I wanted to use was not going to accept XAVC recording mode. Because of this, I re-initialized the camera to restore any settings that may be...
