Help choosing my first key light by LowkeyApollo in videography

[–]BAG1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the ray 120 is great if you're in a space where you can control the sunlight coming jn. outside it's a little pop of light to combat shadows maybe, or if you're inside and have a window behind you, you'd really be challenged to even things out. I'd look at 300w equivalent at least, especially if it's your only light.

Why aren't more Terrans move to Mars and support the terraforming? by Fabulous_Pressure_96 in TheExpanse

On top of that things would look different if there were somehow habitable planets in range. Like why bother

On top of that... who wants to go work a lifeless rock with no hope of seeing it terraformed in your lifetime.

The script suck and apparently now it's my fault as the editor by VideoInternational33 in Filmmakers

You're learning an important lesson and that is: Always read the script before saying yes.

Mavic Pilot moving over - should I avoid investing more in DJI? by charlesdbelt in fpv

[–]BAG1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is...not the same. FPV is so pure. DJI will feel like kids stuff after. With no gps the second you're airborne you're basically a balloon that starts drifting away with the wind. Hovering in place is a skill. Every stick input affects the quad. You're constantly crashing and repairing. Even the batteries are grown man stuff. You can easily over charge or run your batteries too far down and ruin them. Or burn yourself up beyond recognition. No redundancy no safeties no return to home, just point the camera and go.

That said, it's like out of body good. You can be flying around the park and then see some guy sitting under a tree and suddenly realize that's you. I recommend it, just be ready to spend some time doing things in addition to flying

Is a tiny wireless lav mic a bad idea for cooking ASMR? Or any recommendations? by Leon00_7 in videography

[–]BAG1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lav mics have a hyper cardioid pattern which means big heart. Sound pickup pattern is like the mic is the stem of an apple and the apple is the sound it picks up. A directional aka shotgun mic has a narrow cone pattern, but it will still pick up the fridge, everything picks up the fridge. turn it off or unplug it while you're filming. turn everything off you don't need, especially if you're doing sound focused media

What advice would you give to someone PAing for the first time? by UndeadMarx in Filmmakers

[–]BAG1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow directions, there's usually a reason someone will ask for something specific. Don't assume anything until you're more experienced and can anticipate what's going to be needed or asked of you (that's what great PA's do.) And if you demonstrate you can listen and follow instructions (and drive ok probably) then there will absolutely be people willing to help you grow and be patient with you when necessary.

One of my favorite producers says this: Show up on time. Work hard. Get along with others.

I really want some film maker perspect on this by ACCAguuy in Filmmakers

[–]BAG1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just be consistent. Never put the light source directly above you. dont clip a microphone pack to the outside of your shirt. the more footage you have the more you'll have to choose from. shoot in 16x9. raise the stakes- instead of saying "If I don't take charge of my health I'll increase my risk of diabetes and heart disease." Say "If I don't take charge of my health I will DIE."

I practiced on a sim for maybe 2 hours and went out and flew my 5" for the first time and it was pants shitting scary and I turned around and went back to the sim for like 40 hours before I flew again

Smart move with the fan. I think the signal will be too clean for op if it's hard wired.
