    archived-videos What do you think of the latest music vid?

    Ah yeah I've dealt with that before. Vanity is the name of the game with music video clients. I think even a cheap slider would work for the minimal push you're doing. I'm shooting a short next weekend in which I have a scene that needs to do a similar push. I'm using a 40" slider for a 10...

    archived-videos What do you think of the latest music vid?

    Looked good! Simple concept, good colors (a little too dark in some areas), consistent pacing. I love the idea of your slow "PT Anderson" pushes during the silhouette parts, but they were too shaky for my taste. Did you try stabilizing the footage? Not sure if FCPX has anything similar to warp...

    5D, 6D or A7

    A7s absolutely. I switched from a Canon 6D (owned a Canon 550D before that) to the A7s and it couldn't have been a better decision. I'm impressed with Sony and will be purchasing an A6300 as soon as low-light sample videos from actual consumers start popping up on youtube. 6D moire and...

    so why would you waste your time planning, shooting and editing a film when you could just film a girl eating dog poop? and why didn't you name the film "ISIS beheads news guy" on youtube?

    Behind the Scenes Photographs

    A few days of stuff from our forthcoming feature film: We rented a water truck to fill up a watersealed room for a crying scene. The water ended up being about five feet deep within eight minutes. It was cold water and 38 degrees outside :)

    editing Noise Reduction - NeatVideo problem

    You're doing nr on the graded image? I always apply neatvideo first, then work from there. You could even just make neatvideo the first node instead of the last one, could be a quick fix?

    my Alien Captured Video Sold for 1 million $ to Discovery

    more criticism without any backup for it...i guess this is just the way of any forum, really. seems like the people who are actually successful in the business don't hang around these parts because it's just a pissing contest 90% of the time

    my Alien Captured Video Sold for 1 million $ to Discovery

    people jump on these threads in hoards. meanwhile, threads that contain real, well-produced content go without any responses. i guess people just like to criticize others in the easiest way possible. might wanna check that ego, guys.

    Should I buy a cage for my camera or is it unnecessary?

    protect your camera with a cage, and if you want to mount anything on it beyond the hotshoe, a cage is the best way to do so.

    broken a7s screen

    Hey guys, bad news. The A7s fell out of our camera bag while packing up after a recent shoot I'm wondering how much it'll be to repair the screen. I see on ebay that you can buy a new LCD screen for the A7s at about $35 bucks a pop. However, I am sure that the repair costs will be much higher...

    What do you dislike most about the modern film industry?

    I have a love/hate relationship with the accessibility of modern filmmaking. I like that some people who otherwise wouldn't have had the resources/time to create films are now able to do so, allowing for new and unique ideas to be executed. I also think that the ease of making a film ta lot of...
