    Color grading test

    Agreed with all points above, and if shooting s-log, ettr about two stops, see if that helps any. As for grading, let's ignore the exposure for now, the highlights have a yellow tinge to them. Sometimes people tend to make the blacks and whites colors other than black and white. Maybe if that's...

    My New Steadicam Keeps Spinning

    Going to mirror what others have said. In my experience (shooting basketball) if not on sticks, you want shoulder mount. Not sure why anyone would want a steadicam for sports-unless doing some sort of promo? But shoulder mount stabilizes the camera and when paired with an ENG lens, you have...

    What is wrong with this clip?

    Another factor I feel is that the mountain is very crisp. If you look at the trees behind him, they are beginning to fall out of focus and as mentioned above, the compression is taking over. The fact that the mountain is looking pretty clear at a focal plane much further back also does it for me.

    To RAW or not to RAW

    In addition to all the other comments, There is something to be said about getting the look in camera. Raw is a commitment. Now I love color timing, I feel it's a tremendous way to add a lot more to a project, but does your project require the advantages of raw? Keep in mind, there are well...

    I like that, very smooth. Yeah, this was my first time employing a kind of controlled chaotic shake. Suppose it could have used more control. Thank you for the feedback!

    Star Trek Set Construction help in the UK

    Sorry I know nothing about in the UK, being in the US, but I must say, well done with Deception that set was impressive and CG bits were lovely. As far as this bridge project, looks to be an excelsior class ship's bridge. Will it be late 23rd century/early 24th, or later 24th? As far as...

    watch Toastbusters- Short comedy film

    I rather enjoyed it. The effects are in the sweet spot I'd say, of cheesy but not bad. The toast puppet ghost was clever, as was the toaster at the end. I'd say that it looked a bit flat, although that could be because the talent were almost against a wall. Show that depth. Although many of the...

    Film school or start filming feature?

    I don't believe this has been mentioned, but instead of all out going to a film school, there are specific area intensive workshops one can take. But yes, do your free research online, then make shorts first. best of luck

    Internship advice?

    When put like that, that clears things up a lot. Thank you. I do wish I could just shadow different people through all phases of production. But I will definitely take this approach when applying. Thanks.

    Internship advice?

    Wow. I expected as much, but the actual numbers are staggering. As far as specialization, when requesting positions, just be firm, like "I want to be a PA," rather than "I'd like to be a PA or any position?" And I appreciate the find, though that's animation, and while I may fool around with...
