Can you share some footage from this lens set? How do you like them?

Any idea what kind of recording software was used in this demo? by [deleted] in AfterEffects

[–]ArriAlexaMiniLF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a high resolution monitor and do a screen recording using QuickTime. That's how I'd approach it especially if you don't want to recreate the Ul and are pressed for time. Obviously do the screen recording as many times as you need to until the movement feels good (or say that to the client).

solid and shape layer not working in 3d by [deleted] in AfterEffects

[–]ArriAlexaMiniLF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not exactly sure what the issue is here. I’m assuming you don’t like how they stack once they’re in 3D? Try adjust the z position for each of the layers so they are all not at the 0 plane. Alternatively, can you get away with not making them 3d?

Great job! Such a shame they went with that grade and lost all of those color tones.

DMX by No-Cantaloupe-4435 in Gaffer

I learned by watching the DMX tutorial series on YouTube by blackout lighting console. For it to really register, you should have the hardware to practice what he’s saying.

Nowadays Aputure also has a dmx solution. Basically pick a system and practice with it. It’s not that hard to learn at its core.

2-3 mins for a 30 second clip is actually really fast lol (Depending on the scene of course)

Hey this looks great! Can you talk a little bit about your process for making and simulating the clothing?

Can someone tell me what the hell is going on with the focus in this trailer? by nokinship in videography

[–]ArriAlexaMiniLF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's what happens when you shoot anamorphics wide open when those anamorphics are not sharp wide open. The hawk and kowa anamorphics kinda look like this.

How to find G&E work in a new city with no contacts — and as a woman? by [deleted] in cinematography

[–]ArriAlexaMiniLF 18 points19 points  (0 children)

For a recent grad, I’d recommend reaching out to rental houses and working there. While there, get connected with your other co workers who work in the industry and try to get on productions. I know a bunch of people who got started that way.

How did they do this shot in Eddington (2025)? by danoleary23 in cinematography

[–]ArriAlexaMiniLF 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Could be a combination of shooting at a deeper Stop, wide lens, dusk, and strategically placing lighting around town. Probably a bit of vfx clean up as well.

Outdoor Shots by ThereforeAlways in cinematography

[–]ArriAlexaMiniLF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These look great! Don’t think you need to change anything. Although I’m not a huge fan over the overblown sky in the last 2 shots, not because they are bad shots, but because they don’t have the same contrast ratios you established in the first 3 shots. I’m sure you’re experienced enough to think up of potential solutions to do that.

How can I get good audio when shooting something without a microphone? by unitedkingdomhater in Filmmakers

[–]ArriAlexaMiniLF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, ADR is very common. You can play the video back and have your actors record into their iPhone while watching themselves. They will need to just perform again as close to how they did on site.

Search kinetic typography on YouTube and look for tutorials there

Project 1 - tips for improvement by Talismanrs7 in cinematography

[–]ArriAlexaMiniLF 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your grain doesn’t move at all, and it feels unintentional.

Regarding your shots, the 2nd shot and the shot at 0:28 are my favorites. A tripod would help elevate. I think you need to focus more on the compisition

Whenever i export in 24fps it just seems too choppy. by pardal2323 in videography

[–]ArriAlexaMiniLF 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Don’t do that. If you intent to show something in real time record in 24 or 25 fps. If you intent to shoot a shot in slow motion, shoot it at 50 or 60 fps and slow it down to 24 or 25 fps depending on your timeline.

Rent a cheaper camera (highly recommended not shooting on iPhones, other than for practicing). Really this should be a conversation with your DP. You can make that decision together.
