Happy Thanksgiving Paul and Don and all who visit this thread after me. Has anyone tried to cook a turkey with studio lights? ;) *Dready and Nick checked in. Happy holidays to you, also. :)

*They have a forum and a group on Vimeo to answer questions.

Cool! Then you already know, then. Sorry for the assumption on my part. ;)

I want to reflect sunlight from outdoors to indoors and see how far I can push it with additional reflectors. I just need to learn how to stop the sun from moving until we're done. ;) The FS100 has pretty decent dynamic range with an f/1.4 on there.

:lol: I thought of that too.

I was thinking low light myself, although you can see reflection of studio lights in their eyes. If that's what their doing, I would think it's a whole new lighting specialty. I'll keep a look out and report back if I find something.

Magic lantern will give you a cinemascope marker, but the output is still 16X9. It just looks like everything was shot freakishly wide with gobs of headroom. With Magic Lantern on a T2i - run as little of the toys as you can or you'll go through batteries like crazy. Histogram and focus assist...

As far as I know, you are stuck with 16X9 with a T2i, but you can change the aspect ratio in post by subtracting pixels from the top and bottom.

Maybe I just noticed or maybe it's the new rage, but I've seen a lot of actors with dilated pupils in obviously professionally lit productions. Does anybody know how they are pulling this off?

Actually, it was the old resolution of 16X9, which essentially was 144 giant pixels operated by slaves behind the screen. :cool:

Some things seem like someone thought about it. The industry standard since the 1950's (Academy) in cinema is the 1.85:1 aspect ratio. da Vinci's The Last Supper has an aspect ratio of 1.93:1. This is creepy close if you do the math compared to all the other aspect ratios, nothing comes close...

You made some great points, knightly. I think this may be a good point for me to take a break for a while and examine exactly what I'm contributing (or not) to this forum. Peace.

This is a dumb question, but did you format the card first?

Okay, I'm switching the debate to Coke vs. Pepsi and why? :lol:

That was pretty specific. You could take that bit of information and go bananas on Google if you wanted to, but that would be a lot of work and who wants that? :rolleyes:

Tip-toeing away as if nothing happened. :seeya:

I may get banned for that, but Canada must be stopped! ;)
