Sorry, missed this reply Well, sort of. Using anamorphic lenses gives a film a very unique look which also happens to have the effect of making the aspect ratio 2.39:1. It's not necessarily the most 'professional' way to do it - certainly there are many Hollywood films that have simply cropped...

Again I ask, what sort of clients do you anticipate you'll be working with? When you're out on set, or have clients who don't supervise the edit, how does having a fancy office set you apart, other than increasing your overheads? Of course, you definitely want to pitch it more than an 'average...

I can't agree with you on that. I still assert that it's the society we live in. Don't take for granted the way in which hundreds of years of history treating women a certain way has an effect on everyone. I think the 'animal instincts' retort is a good excuse, but is no more than that - an...

There are no attempts at discrediting, only attempts at clarifying the accuracy of information. As I've said in previous threads, when attempting to educate clarity and accuracy are vitally important. You've certainly tried to discredit pretty much everyone making 3D films by suggesting they...

It has everything to do with his upbringing. He's not a 'sick man' any more than the plethora of men in positions of absolute or relative power across the world are 'sick' - and there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions. Probably tens of millions men who have unacceptable attitudes...

Start with: What sort of work do you want to do in the first 12 months? What sort of clients do you anticipate you will be able to get in the first 12 months? How achievable and how compatible are those two questions? What do you realistically expect you will be able to do in terms of the level...

And therefore any female who has experienced sexual assault towards her was 'asking for it' or at least 'not innocent'? You're right, it is messed up that our society allows 'casting couches' to happen, and that women can feel so powerless that they feel they need to comply to advance their...

I'll add to my list: Please share what further information you may have about these particular instances, because as far as I can tell it has been entirely unwanted, unprovoked, invasive and ultimately scarring. And no, going to the police or the union is not and was not a solution for many...

Interesting. What do you think about VR and it's potential for a more immersive experience...? I agree - as I said up top, I think 3D as an 'immersion' medium is/was potentially under-utilised, although in saying that I think the large majority of big budget Hollywood releases went down the...

Of course - and only cooler after a few beers :) I stand by what I said. There's a difference between having a different outlook and philosophy around what you're doing and literally not understanding the concepts of it. I think you'd find that there aren't many making big budget 3D movies...

Of course. But getting the lighting and exposure as best you can makes the job significantly quicker and easier.

The best thing you can do is shoot your green screen footage to match the lighting of the background plate, ensure correct lighting and exposure of green screen and as much distance as possible (and flagging) between subject and green screen to eliminate spill as much as possible. Then, you...

I know of two recent mid-budget releases (~$20m budget) that shot small sections without permits throughout Los Angeles and NYC respectively. As with the stock market, past performance is not an indicator of future performance so YMMV.

Depends how you like to learn. I personally don’t love YouTube tutorials so am more inclined to take a short course on stuff like this. That said, I’m sure there are plenty of tutorials covering what you’re interested in. My suggestion would be to start on things like set extensions, background...

I don’t want to argue either, and in fact my intention is not to argue but to clarify. I know plenty of fantastic technicians who work or have worked in 3D capture and not one ‘doesn’t know what they’re doing’ but the realities of the logistics of one particular shoot or philosophies and...

I don't doubt you're very knowledgable on the subject. But I can assure you that every single one of those questions (and more) are addressed with every 3D movie that gets made. I can tell you with absolute confidence that no-one makes 3D movies (at least budgeted ones) without considering every...

3D has come a long way, and is still in use in cinemas a little, though it’s fizzled out for home viewing. I wouldn’t think that people who make high budget 3D movies ‘don’t know what they’re doing’ and in fact much planning and consideration goes into ensuring the 3D looks right and also...

Feels to me like there are more features being made these days, but there are also more avenues for distribution. It feels easier than ever to get your feature on some sort of streaming service, but harder than ever to get it into a wide theatrical run...

Wait, when did a kilobyte start meaning 1,000 bytes...? I would suggest it's more of an ease of discussion - i.e. in general conversation the difference between 1,000 and 1,024 doesn't matter, but in industries where it does matter it would be important to ensure your calculations account for...
