    Filming on the job

    I work at a warehouse, and require a couple brief shots while on the job. I plan to use my galaxy s7. My question is, if I plan on sharing this film, what should I be worried about? I won't include products, employees, brand names or anything with a label. The main things shown would be...

    Using old vhs tapes in film

    More of a flashback scenario, but not an actual flashback. Just some scenes I'm using to help introduce the story and give a certain feel. It seems like changing from the vhs scenes to normal footage would feel/look weird but I guess I'll have to play around with it more. I would definitely...

    Using old vhs tapes in film

    More of a narrative. I was thinking about using that style, but I feel like it wouldn't look right fit the film I'm working on. Thank you for the reply!

    Using old vhs tapes in film

    Anyone have tips on using old camcorder footage from the 90's? I wasn't planning on making many changes, however I'm concerned it might be annoying for the viewer watching the 4:3 aspect ratio. Are there any tips for zooming/cropping without looking too ugly?

    cinematography GH4 ETTR

    When I start to get closer to ettr, it starts to clip. In the highlights, and usually the shadows as well, then when I bring the exposure back down it guess to the left or hits neutral. Does this method require the shot to be pretty lit? Maybe have the shadows a little more lit up?

    cinematography GH4 ETTR

    I have been reading and experimenting with different techniques, trying to find my preferred style with the GH4. I learned about GH4 users exposing to the right, and I can't seem to achieve this. Desperate for some input, I get this sad feeling of insanity every time I try to mess with it. :grumpy:

    Gh4 Metabones Speedbooster Decision

    About to pull the trigger on the gh4/xl speedbooster. Are there any negative qualities you can point out with this combo? What do you use it for? I'll be producing mainly cinematic work, as well as web based promotional videos and probably some interviews. I was being tempted by the a7s for...

    Gh4 Metabones Speedbooster Decision

    Awesome. If you were me, about to purchase the gh4, would you rather wait and get the gh5 next year?

    Gh4 Metabones Speedbooster Decision

    Thanks for your reply. I plan to shoot in 4k, probably using the the sigma 18-35 and possibly my 1.4 50mm. By the way, what lens are you using?

    Gh4 Metabones Speedbooster Decision

    After a long, stressful, but exciting process, I've finally come to an agreement with myself. I've decided to upgrade from my t4i to the gh4/speedbooster. However, at this point I'm unable to decide on the metabones adapter. They have these listed: Ultra at 1 extra stop and .71x wider...
