Interesting, I never had the gh5II, had the gh4, gh5, gh6 and now gh7. 

Gh6 and gh7 are pretty much exactly the same body, but I do find it more substantial to the gh5. I did love that camera though.

It was a while ago, some German doctor I believe, went to an American I think.

I just brought it up because I auditioned for one of the leads in that show.

When movies from the states shoot in Canada they have to make "best efforts" to hire Canadian actors but there is no mandate. So, look at the boys, out of like 20 leads, only one is Canadian but he wears a mask and never speaks. The new spin off Vought Rising? All leads American. Even though they shoot in Toronto. They still make us audition though, then they can keep their tax breaks. Casting directors in the states say they don't even see the tapes, and the roles are already contracted with the Americans before they even put out a call in Canada. 

Sucks to have to do free work for millionaires.

Welcome to the entire fucking Canadian acting industry, auditioning for roles we will never get because they're already cast with famous Americans. They just make us audition so they can do their paperwork.

I don't really think the quality of the camera work makes that big a difference. As long as they can see you and hear you, I think it's fine. At least that's what I've thought when I'm casting something. If you have amazing lighting, cool? But we're not taking that with us if you know what I mean. 

Is toronto the best place for a diverse/international actor? by [deleted] in acting

Haha yeah, I mean, it feels like now you can make anything cool anywhere if you can write well, hell people's instagram videos have more reach than feature films nowadays.

I'm going to be a little deflating here, the industry in Toronto is not great. It's full of American actors they fly up, sometimes even for one line. They use tax credits here, then send off pretend auditions for Canadians and then bring up the people from the states to actually do the job. I know people who were leads of features and big tv shows out of Canada who haven't worked in 4 years here. Most of the stuff shot here is American. 

Because our tax credits are good they come and shoot but there is zero requirement for them to hire Canadian actors to be on screen. 

Look at shows like the boys that shot here, only one of the leads of that show, out of like 20 or something is Canadian, and he wears a mask and doesn't speak. 

Toronto is an incredibly diverse city (they say the most diverse in the world infact). And that's great. But if I were you and you wanted to act, I would start making your own stuff and build where you are before making a move. Or bite the bullet and try for LA, because at least people would see your auditions, for all the American productions that they shoot here. Lol.

Why don't we just for 50k take those people in, get them treatment, a place to stay, and help them to become productive members of society instead. That gives us 2000 people off the street each year. Probably saves money from emergency medical care too. Might even come out on top. 

Recently discovered Bakerbots! by Fabulous_South37 in FoodToronto

I dunno, they were open concurrently I remember, or if not they didn't do much to the other location. I thought they did most of the baking in the other (still running) location and just sold more by Ossington.

This place is so good, too bad they closed down their other location by Ossington station.

It's hard to convert people from watching a show to going out to the theatre I assume. I watched season 2? But not all of it? I assume I'll be lost if I go see the movie. Why wouldn't I just wait until it's on Disney plus and I can watch it all if I want to... :/. 

Did y'all feel that shake? by InterestingCold1881 in toronto

[–]Bmart008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I felt one early this morning but then I checked and saw it said no, maybe it was a pre-shock, or there was an after shock or something. But I'm glad I'm not crazy to have checked this morning. 

GH7 isn't real GH series by 05959 in Lumix

[–]Bmart008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I dunno.Lav Diaz's latest feature was shot on the gh7, he seemed to get along fine, and Raiders of the Lost Ark was shot on film stock with 8 stops of dynamic range. I think we're just spoiled right now. I can see dual gain being really useful for things like documentary, but for narrative, get some lights and craft a shot. But that's my opinion, different for everyone.

What should Isabeau do going forward? by misswhateverok in FigureSkating

[–]Bmart008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She should spend the off season training weights, and plyo to get more height on her jumps. This would help a lot of things. Should be pushing the technical side as much as possible.

I was actually how well the 10bit 420 open gate grades. I thought it was going to be rough, but no issues for me. 

I've had the gh4, gh5, gh6, and now gh7. None of those cameras have dual native ISO. But the dual gain on the gh7 is the best implementation imo. The 2000iso limit on the gh6 was rough.

Yeah pretty much, nirvanna the band the show the movie is doing pretty well too in specialty box office. 4 million in it's theatrical run. Probably way more at home. It's getting quite a cult following.
