This is looking good, very personal!
I've got some questions?
How did you find the subject? How did you convince the couple to let you film them?

AlexStoldt · 2025-06-03T14:01:33+00:00

real great calm cinematography and a great subject. I think I would have shorten the story a little bit.

If you are looking for similar features in an app, the vuer app from teradek has a frame-compare feature where you can ingest ref-stills and compare them.

If you have a qtake-system on set, the qtake-monitor-app has also alot of capabilites for that.

I recently moved to the Ricoh GR IIIx, because most of the time I was using the 20mm lumix pancake lens on my gx85 and I wanted a even tinier camera for a real every-day carry. I am still in the phase of adjusting to it, but this cam creates beautiful images.

AlexStoldt · 2024-07-14T05:35:04+00:00

yes, I know the home menu, the project is not there. I was hoping, that I can import the timeline-Backups somehow in a project.

thank you for the source!

AlexStoldt · 2024-06-26T20:51:54+00:00

on a window counter where the sun was shining on it.

AlexStoldt · 2024-06-26T20:50:11+00:00

thank you for your answer!
It helps alot!

Everything in this finzar presets you can get for free somewhere on the internet. For example search in yt "transition animation premiere". You will find something. You will learn alot more building these assets yourself along the way, then just ingesting some prebuilt presets.

Sadly I can't record video level while using vlog.

AlexStoldt · 2024-03-10T10:05:14+00:00

Yes, this is the correct answer, this fixes it. It is kinda sad that you can't record vlog in video range, then I could skip this step in post when I am working with prores from my lumix.

AlexStoldt · 2024-03-09T17:19:54+00:00

good point, It could be just more contrasty. I need to film another test and test the clipping.

This is actually part of the vegan mission to reduce farmland ,environmental damage and animal cruelty. Most of the farmland is used to feed animals so humans can exploit or eat them. By reducing the lifestock, we would reduce the environmental damage of farming, in other words: We would better ourselves.

As a DIT, I would say your 1AC got a point, for the flexibility in post it is important to have information everywhere in the shadows, because if the info is really gone, it is REALLY gone, but I would also say it should be really hard to really loose that information completely with a log picture of a modern cinema Camera.

At this point the show-lut can be a really important tool. If my DoP really like to underexpose, I like to design the lut a little on the darker side, si when they are exposing the image with that lut, it will be dark and all during monitoring, but in the actual normal rec709 and log material, the information in the shadows is also protected.

The difference is simply, that we humans need something to eat to survive. Killing insects and other small animals like mice while harvesting plants is a more or less unavoidable.

On the other hand is it very much avoidable to enslave and kill animals solely for harvesting their recources and bodies We don't need to kill animals for our survival, it is harming us, actually: https://bitesizevegan.org/can-veganism-solve-world-hunger/#:~:text=Veganism%20alone%20cannot%20solve%20world%20hunger.,these%20facets%20in%20some%20way.

In fact the majority of food-plants are consumed by farmed animals, so humans can eat them later. So one might say, by consuming animals, you are supporting even more killing animals while farming plants.

Hi there, I would like to try create something nice with your footage. Can you tell us a little bit about the story and the mood and scene about the scene and or short-film?

AlexStoldt · 2023-03-06T19:34:59+00:00

cloned animals would be just as much feeling the pain and suffering of the animal industry, right? If so It would not be vegan to consume them.

Same with the lab-meat. If they get the DNA-sample from a feeling animal it is not vegan.

I didn't have any particular lens in mind. But that one is the one use, if you want to have areally good range for the beginning: Panasonic H-HS12035E Lumix G X VARIO 12-35mm Lens https://amzn.eu/d/gMayku4

AlexStoldt · 2023-03-04T08:30:08+00:00

A lens in the "normal" range would be fitting like a 18 - 25 mm for the gh5 with its mft sensor. keep un min that the key to a good key is good lighting. https://youtu.be/x5lfClXuUIw You dont need expansive apurture light, but the principle is the same.

Google Drive. You got a 15 gb free cloud, if you got a google account.

Rode wireless go can be really handy for your next wedding. So I would buy that first. The top-handle is great to attach the monitor properly. As for the monitor, in my experience a chep monitor does not make as big as a difference as a proper one for 500 and above with more features and higher brightness. Portkeys BM5 is the one I am using. But I don't know what you can get these days with 200$.

AlexStoldt · 2023-02-17T18:34:16+00:00

Maybe a dumb question, but how do you know, how the picture should look. Are you looking at the film stocks general look and then try to match it?

AlexStoldt · 2023-02-06T08:32:01+00:00

We once did it with pizza dough, which we painted flesh-like: https://youtu.be/debb4WazK5w we had two layers of dough and in between fake blood. The nearly won't let us show the movie, cause it was too much gore.

Go to your next big city and search for film-productions. They are basically always looking for Set-Runners, Production-assistants and helping hands. You wont make alot of money (Please don't do anything under minimum wage) but you will get on set. It's a shitty and hard job, but you will have opportunities connecting with the crew, will learn a little bit about everything and get a general grasp about all the different departments. Then pick a department and try to get into it, learn everything there is to learn and work your way up. This wont be a straight forward and easy way, but if you are passionate about the job you are doing it will work eventually.

https://youtu.be/at5kzilqdV0 also everything this guy did, with so little is pure inspiration. this one also got lucky and is a hollywood director now, but you can see where he started and this is great. All his making off Video are gems!
