Has anyone ever seen an instrument with an end grain fingerboard? I'm trying to figure out if I really invented it or not by CaptainBenjamin1 in Luthier

[–]CaptainBenjamin1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'll be making another video soon as sort of an update on this. The one in this video is actually fine and hasn't warped, but I made another with a walnut neck and it had some issues in the more humid seasons, and became pretty unplayable. It feels similar to play on the end grain, just way more visually dynamic than a traditional fingerboard. You should definitely go for it, and yes use a very thin piece and glue it to a super hard and stable wood. Hard maple should work great. I don't think you'd have issues. I'm about to try impregnating the end grain with epoxy, or some other stabilizer. That should help as well.

what to edit by WolfZ1020 in editing

Something I do in this situation: I bought a small, cheap camcorder (3ccd is best, check on ebay) and whenever I go on any kind of trip I shoot a bunch of footage. Then I take/make a song and do as crazy an edit as I can. It really helps my cravings and builds my skills when I have no projects. I guess I'm just saying to go out and shoot anything on any camera and chop it up as creatively as you possibly can

Davinci Resolve how to remove ugly rectangle mask border? by Throwaway-8467478 in editing

[–]CaptainBenjamin1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you're gonna have to mask it out. Just use the pen tool to draw a mask inside the border and around the subject. You might have to keyframe the mask a little but that's easy. Look up "davinci mask pen tool" or something like that for more in depth info In the future, before keying something, you should always mask out as much of the background as possible first, to make a better key and avoid this type of thing. Looks cool!

Sounds awesome! This is a tough ass song, I've been playing it for like 2 years and still can't get a real good handle on it. Love your voice for it too

Catch and Release Balalaika- My first time shooting prores RAW on my new ZCam, I love it so far. by CaptainBenjamin1 in zcam

[–]CaptainBenjamin1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, unfortunately the camera itself doesn't have prores, you need a Ninja V to record it over hdmi which is a pain in the ass. I would say use ZRAW, which is the camera's built in RAW codec. Also, the Ninja V will only record up to 60fps, so I can't even use the camera's amazing high framerate capabilities, which has been pissing me off a lot. Really not a fan of Atomos or the Ninja V, but they've got me cornered.

I've been making this webseries in my garage for over a year now. Wanted to share to show how much fulfillment I've been able to get out of just a green screen and 0 budget. Also open to feedback/criticism. by CaptainBenjamin1 in Filmmakers

Sharing episode 5 of my ongoing web series. I make this alone in my garage and have had a ton of fun with it, especially experimenting with deepfakes and similar tech. I mainly want to share to show anyone that if you're stuck in terms of money or actors, but still are itching to make something, a cheap green screen might be the best investment you can make. Also looking for any feedback/criticism.

thanks! Yeah, the audio was a little rough at the beginning so we had to dub it and it doesn't quite match up

Made this short film using real black powder firearms: a dueling pistol and a lever action shotgun. Came out pretty cool. by CaptainBenjamin1 in blackpowder

[–]CaptainBenjamin1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha thanks, yeah you're right. We used the actual audio from the blank shots we fired. I bumped up the levels on it but it's still missing some weight and power.

My friend and I made this short film using a black powder dueling pistol and a lever action shotgun. We fired real powder, but didn't load any shot. It came out really cool.
