    Kickstarter hacked - change your passwords

    Ugh. Just went through this with Comcast - which jacked up my whole mental system - now I might as well go through an entire password refresh on everything at this point. So people don't wonder what I'm on about...

    Now I'm torn...

    Grats Will, sort of wish I was buying a kit at the moment, but since I'm off on another expedition run in April the timing is still not quite right. Another imo moment of you guys will indulge. Not sure what you guys used, but I'd go here for power at this point...

    Now I'm torn...

    Always a trade off, especially at this price range. What one plans to shoot, and personal taste, answer this question. For me, the significant improvement in the rendering of motion outweighs the minor difference in range between the BMD cams. We're not talking Alexa grade rolling shutter...

    Now I'm torn...

    IMO: You go for the one with global shutter. ;)

    How much would it cost to rent Panavision cameras and lenses?

    Well, it's a bit like buying an exotic car. The market for such things usually isn't shopping around for the best price from the dealer. ;) You'll have to call or email them for the most accurate rate. As you've viewed their site you have probably already seen their "New Filmmaker Program,"...

    Panasonic GH4 announced

    I'm not sure of the sub-sampling, but I am pretty positive that it is 8-bit on board to cards. The HDMI out is more vague. In some places it implies you can get 10bit clean out on the hdmi, but in others it implies you need the break-out box and the SDI. Beyond that I am fairly confused as...

    Panasonic GH4 announced

    Breakout box: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1028546-REG/panasonic_dmc_gh4_yagh_lumix_yagh_interface_unit.html Ugly as sin, but very interesting. In theory it brings a lot to the table. Imo though, 200mbs 4:2:2: 10bit 1080 at 96fps is far more interesting than 4K on this camera. ;)...

    No-Budget Career Path

    Well, at the risk of taking this discussion father afield than is appropriate, my objection to it has nothing to do with the use of the word Nazi, its connotations in any part of the world, or any of its context in history. The reason that I do not think the terms use is appropriate here is...

    Arri Amira Price Revealed

    Official US/NA pricing, just for giggles. http://www.abelcine.com/store/ARRI-AMIRA-Camera/#tabs Read one comment where someone claims to have been told that the first run of cameras for NA are all already spoken for by pre-orders. Hefty grain of salt on that, obviously.

    cinematography Herky Jerky camera style

    Seems fairly random to me. Some of the zooms are clearly intentional (if poorly timed) while others look like the operator trying to find a decent frame without the luxury of cutting the camera (because of the genre) and the editors thought it would look "edgy" or didn't have anything else to...

    No-Budget Career Path

    Apparently you missed this the first time it was posted. Like I said, I fully acknowledge my own typographical failings. Which is why you don't see me calling out errors when I see them. In fact, I imagine you would be hard pressed to find many instances of me correcting anyone's grammar on...

    No-Budget Career Path

    ;) Grammar. This was covered in that other thread, lol. As to the content, I object to the phrase, but you didn't see me pointing out the errors now did you. :D I'm as shitty a typist as the next guy, as evidenced by the above. The point is that I think the flippancy with which written...

    No-Budget Career Path

    Despite what the internet has lead you to believe, the expression of an opinion is not necessarily an invitation for argument. Everyone is free to express themselves with the written word as they see fit; just as the others in the world will see fit to evaluate the author's suitability for...

    So tired of hearing that phrase. And this is the best explanation as to why.

    cinematography Top down shot spiralling upwards/outwards - Help

    I cannot take credit for this idea, I only found it on the Grip Rigs page on FB. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=699181130122109&set=a.343465449027014.80324.317380948302131&type=1&theater I imagine there is a way to do something similar that is easily moved vertically as well.

    lighting How do you light a scene like this?

    Asked and answered. You have to control both light sources so that they are giving you the desired output. There are a plethora of methods for accomplishing this. ND, Rosco Scrim, a grip sandwich between the window and the talent (can't see the window though). Having your art director use...

    lighting How do you light a scene like this?

    Either bring the daylight down to the same level as the tungsten, or bring up the tungsten to the brightness of the daylight. Or both until that are at the levels you desire. The actual way to accomplish this will depend on your location, light kit, grip kit, and so on. The point is to...

    What is the best system for remote viewing?

    Quoted for posterity. Just a note - think of it as me suggesting you "move the sticks" - that sort of "witty banter" up there usually gets people a permanent vacation from this board pretty quickly. You'll find the troll tolerance here much, much lower than on your average board. HTH.
