    Whats my Cameraman / Editor up to?

    I understand your concerns but at the end of the day your name will be on the credits, not his. It's irritating that he would say "this is the scene I directed" when he clearly is just doing camerawork, but I think wasting energy trying to correct an egomaniac is futile. Just make positively...

    archived-videos We had 24 hours to make this hip-hop music video

    I understand that this was a crunch-time project and that you don't have a background in hip hop (at least, GOD i hope not), so it's understandable that some things would be lacking. But if I'm being honest, it was pretty bad. You desperately need to research the culture if you're expected to do...

    renting contract

    I recently purchased a Ronin-M, and to help it pay for itself, I have a plan to rent it out for roughly $100/day. How can I protect my equipment in a written agreement that if the renter breaks it, damages it, etc, they're responsible for the full price of the Ronin within 1 month of the rental...

    cinematography slow motion in 1080p?

    do you have an example clip (specifically with a "soft" video from the GH4 @96fps)? I'd like to see it and gauge whether it's acceptable or not

    cinematography slow motion in 1080p?

    Hmm...I'm curious as to whether 60fps would be enough? We really want to push it. If that's the case, we may just save money and use our existing FS100 @60fps. As far as using the RED, we'd be flying it stripped down on a Ronin-M in a sketchy part of town. Naturally I can handle and use all...

    Reviewer saying HELLO again

    https://vimeo.com/128408546 Please! (Please PM me or post on this thread with the review, as I'd prefer for critique to stay out of the public eye...unless of course it's a 5-star review haha)

    Speckles covering my camera's sensor

    Send it to a cleaning professional unless you are a cleaning professional. Even pros send their stuff off to get cleaned the right way.

    cinematography slow motion in 1080p?

    well I've pretty much decided on the GH4, so would 96fps show that kind of flickering? I'll be using tungsten and natural lighting. What I really want is to use the RED epic that the studio I work for owns...but taking $40,000 out and about without some kind of waiver to protect myself seems...

    cinematography slow motion in 1080p?

    do you mean literally like a strobe light? or do you mean that lights will strobe in slow motion?

    cinematography slow motion in 1080p?

    Yeah, I'm thinking I'll just go with a GH4/speedbooster combo and use my canon lenses with it. That way, I can get 1080p for the slo-mo and 4K for the rest of it, using the 6D as a backup/second angle. Would there be any reason you would specifically avoid this setup?

    archived-videos Our first short.

    There were some good shots in there, acting (however minimal) was okay, but I felt like the whole thing was just an excuse to show a clown hanging himself. i wasn't given enough to identify and sympathize with the character. good job completing your short!

    cinematography slow motion in 1080p?

    I can't really pay over $300 (or even $150) for the rentals on this job.

    cinematography slow motion in 1080p?

    Hey guys, I have a shoot coming up w/ a country band that wants a lot of slow motion shots. I only own a 6D for anything close to slow motion, and 60 fps at 720p just isn't gonna cut it. I am going to be renting for the slow motion camera. What is my best option for 1080p, above 60fps, CHEAP...

    actually, if the 90s look was intentional then gold stars all around! haha i look forward to your next project.

    clarify please :) first of all, congrats on a successfully completed project with a happy client! not bad for a first music video! most of the shots were in focus, composition wasn't bad. however, the shots lacked a sort of uniqueness that made the video feel sort of blah. i think doing more...

    Best 3 Axis Gimbal for Light Cameras?

    Just ordered a Ronin M...I'll let you know how it goes. (planning on using a canon 6D w/ rokinon cines, and a stripped down red epic)

    Lenses with IS question

    I think it's pointless to go from DSLR crop sensor to DSLR crop sensor. The T3i will match the 70D in 90% of the situations one might shoot in. If I were you, I'd keep the T3i and wait to upgrade until you actually have the money to move up to a mirrorless camera or super35mm camcorder. I think...

    archived-videos Friday The 13th Claymation

    I too was laughing within seconds AND also had no sound. Looks good, but you could definitely use some grading/grain overlay or something.
