I’d say it’s nothing worth discussing. However… This music video was a bumpy road. The 35-person crew tried to unionize and were fired because of it, so they picketed. Smith’s production company tried to bring in a scab crew, but finally relented. They signed a deal with IATSE and the crew...

He’s not blaming anyone else. He’s not victimizing himself or playing the “oh, woe is me” card. Seems like he’s accepting that he made is own bed, and is accepting the responsibility to deal with his internal issues.

Excellent find! Still doesn’t say explicitly what that connector actually is, but the part number should be solid lead.

The impedance transformer is a pretty important feature. I wouldn’t go the cheap route on this. Your camera also has pre-amps that are as good as, if not a little better than, what’s in the Beachtek. As for level control, as long as you gain stage properly and leave yourself enough headroom...

Here’s where we get back to the topic of mono/stereo vs. unbalanced/balanced. In this scenario, you’re taking a stereo (2-channel) unbalanced output and trying to connect it to a mono balanced input. Here’s the problem: that cable terminates in a 1/4” TRS that carries L, R, GND. The impedance...

So, you want to connect an input to an input? No, that’s not going to work.

It's entirely possible that Sony made that cable as an optional accessory. It's also entirely possible that someone custom-modded that from the stock (dual 1/4") cable. Who knows? Yeah, this is the deepening mystery. It's definitely not XLR, and the pins are flat instead of round. I'm...

That's the missing piece! Okay, I still cannot find any information on the "Sony connector", but I did look up the operation manual and look over the specs, which gave me some helpful information. Here's a direct link to the Operation Manaul: LINK This is a stereo mic that was made to go with a...

Will he, though? 😂 Need more information, like... which microphone are you looking at that includes this cable, @Ven ? That information will help immensely. Not knowing make/model of the microphone... it looks almost like GX16 docking-style aviation connector, but maybe not. The fact that the...

Well, then I’d consider a second BMPCC 6K, or… … sell the Blackmagic and put that money toward new purchases, so you can adopt the Sony ecosystem for both cameras.

I'd aim to keep sensors in the same family. That also means keeping your color profiles consistent (such as having both cameras in S-Cine or S-Log). Why not an FX6, and an FX3 or FX30?

We just watched “The Comeback Trail” (2020). Don’t remember it coming out, but it popped up on one of our streaming home pages. It’s ridiculous, packed with excellent cast, and a hell of a lot of fun. Turns out, it’s a remake of a film from 1980. Maybe I should go watch the original.

I believe the words you’re looking for are “self-employed” or “entrepreneur”. It’s all in the branding.

Always beef up your RAM. 16GB is the minimum requirement for Resolve. 32GB is the minimum requirement to utilize Fusion. Minimum requirements will run, but with limitations.

This is a tough industry for freelancers. You have to take work to survive. On the other hand, if you’re in the US, the industry is in the tank right now and there’s not a lot of work out there. That said, you have to manage yourself as a small business. That means marketing yourself and...

Gear prepping today. Tomorrow starts a short film production over 3 days. It will be the second short featuring aliens, for which I’ll have done both location and post sound in the last 2 months. Creating creature sounds is highly entertaining, and quite satisfactory when the job is done and...

I seem to remember several interviews and articles about Back to the Future, saying outright that Stolz wasn’t a good fit. That’s not throwing anyone under the bus. It’s just honest. I think you’ve read a lot into State Farm’s statement that may or may not actually be there. There are so many...

This also happens with professional actors. Someone is cast in a role, it becomes clear that they aren’t the right fit for that role, and they are replaced with someone else. Just ask Eric Stolz.

Remember when Superbowl commercials were consistently the best part of the advertising year? When beer commercials had all the best Superbowl ads? When so many people watched the game with zero investment in either team, but were ready to talk to folks the next day about the commercials? Yeah...

There are some great spots in that campaign over the last 5 or so years. Playing the “straight man” can often be the difference between make or break for the success of the project. If you want a monumental reference point, please see Michael Caine in “The Muppets Christmas Carol”. His decision...
