Hyperfocal has NOTHING to do with diffraction. And there is not fucking diffraction at f/8, the lenses are usually optimised to have the best optical qualities around f/8. Diffraction starts around f/16 usually down to f/22. Get to f/8 or f/11, focus on the HYPERFOCAL (you can use use DOF...

Is QuickTime Player installed on your computer ? Do you have a full or a trial version of PP ?

Why is Jere's face so red on that second picture ? Cool set anyway.

I can't believe we solved an actual H44 post. I propose we make this day an IT Holiday.

If you want it to look professional, the purple halo on the light should be the last of your worries when I look at that video. And this is not a problem of white balancing. It's called purple fringing : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_fringing

Most of the action I'd say.

Reservoir Dogs. I don't think I need to elaborate.

Yes, you want to be closer to the upper limit than the lower one. And this, even if you exceed the limit.

Really ? Why would they bother to get a DP from so far away ? How did they find you ? :D

That's a cool website dude. You didn't have to wait this long to share it :D ! To go back to Primer, it's undeniably mind-blowing but I really think there are a fair share of people among lovers who love the movie just to feel smart. I'm not sure there a two people on Earth who were able to...

I hated it. The opening scene when you have 4 guys talking at the same time, interrupting each other (because they are smart and they can figure out the end of the sentence by themselves), using very technical vocabulary. I don't think that's the way a movie should be done. I couldn't...

Yup, the running kid was cool too. For the other shots, the tilts in particular, it just felt like random stuff and I had no idea if I was supposed to look at something in particular (I couldn't read the shot) and therefore I felt a bit bored.

The mountains shots look cool. Everything else is quite meeh..

Again. We're not shooting anything. We're testing. We don't care if the shot is all jerky, we know it will be fine with a tripod. What we don't know is how the camera reacts to the place/light and for that, we still don't need the tripod. The only reason you bring a tripod to a testing session...

For test, I'd go with my DP and eventually Sound guy and that's it. We don't need an AC, or a tripod, the DP can figure out everything he needs to know without any of those. I don't know how sound people do their testing but if he brings a boompole for a location testing, he's fired.

You're kidding right ? Why would you bring a tripod to a test session ? Or actors ? Or an AC ? Or a boom guy ? Or even a boom for that matter ? Clearly, we don't have the same definition of testing. If I'm bringing the whole goddamn crew on a test, I might as well just shoot the scene..

Kamerar is a cheap enough brand that makes solid stuff. Check them out. http://kamerar.com/products/socom-video-shoulder-rig DISCLAIMER : A real shoulder rig should come with counterweights. This one doesn't but they told me it's sold separately. I haven't checked how it works exactly but...

I also want to adapt my favorite book to the screen. It'd be a hell of a peplum. I also think I'd be perfect for this adaptation since I share so much with the main guy. Kindda of Lawrence of Arabia but better. And maybe it's possible in a few years. No one is working on it...

Haha, so I guess it was Sedna AQ1 that was installed on that GH2 I borrowed from a friend. I had that memory card problem twice during the wedding and it took nearly 1 hour each time to transfer the files (my MBP didn't want to play nice with the card so I had to do it through USB...)
