    editing Adding Film Grain

    It's a personal preference and sometimes a creative decision when going for a particular vibe. If you don't like it and/or don't see the point of it, don't bother.

    The contrast is too high, there is no detail in the highlights and the shadows. The blacks are completely washed, there are no details in the boots :/.

    That first one would be PERFECT for not the ugly rocks on the bottom right :/. Can't you darken them to get them to look like the the ones on the left ?

    $10,000 budget for complete set of shooting equipment

    That's not what you said earlier, you said the mic would be on a C-stand. That's why he said you should go for lavs. Now that there is a boom op in the equation, the advice would be completely different. And it's not about hate. It's about unknowledgeable (not to say ignorant) people being...

    $10,000 budget for complete set of shooting equipment

    Simply put, you don't know what you're looking for. All you know is that you want good sound but you don't know what that is and how to get it and that's why you need people like Alcove. The very simple fact that you're considering using the Zoom H4n when you have a 10k budget is testimony...

    "The Grandmaster"

    I said "one of the best" instead of "the best" to avoid tricky comparisons :D. But in my opinion, Ip Man fights are less "crazy" and more realistic. At least for the first one as the second one has some wild action. Anyway, I don't want to spoil it for you so just watch it, you won't be...

    "The Grandmaster"

    You should watch them. Ip Man 1 has one of the most beautiful kung-fu battle scenes cinema has been graced with. And Donnie Yen is amazing in his role.

    Short vs Feature Film - Seeking advice from my peers!

    Dude, 1400+ posts on the forum and you still saying stuff like this ? A "few hundred bucks" ? How can you rent equipment, hire and feed a crew with a few hundred bucks ? I'm in the process of pre-producing a short and there is no way on earth I could do anything worthwhile on a few hundred...

    The Principles of Sound Design

    APE, Alcove, have you participated to this video ? "We give our lighting department sometimes hours to set up and then tell our sound team to be ready in 5 minutes". I'm quoting the video and it sounds so familiar :D. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWN3RJGUetk

    Call for ideas : how to dispose of a corpse

    Okay, I just watched the Season Finale of Brandon's Let's Learn 3dsmax and I want to make a helicopter scene now. So one way to dispose of the body would be to have a helicopter fly the body like 5 miles in the sky and then just dump it. It would be even crazier if you could attach the body to...

    editing On Vacation... Got an opportunity.... No laptop Edit with!

    Why last ? What's the rush in editing so soon after filming ? The main issue for me would be the "filming". I don't go on vacation with tripod, shoulder rig, reflector and a bunch, sound recording devices or other useful stuff. I just pack my Glidecam just in case.
