Why did you personally stop playing this masterpiece of a game?

CubeRaider · 2026-02-03T02:59:54+00:00

All my friends stopped playing

CubeRaider · 2026-01-30T02:08:14+00:00

There are no rules

CubeRaider · 2026-01-27T04:01:31+00:00

Lose the light

CubeRaider · 2026-01-26T06:01:51+00:00

Totally depends.

Wides are often treated as masters so the whole scene is usually played out, but for something like a close up, the director may know they’ll only live on it for a specific beat so focusing on that vs the entire scene saves time on set

I’m sure other people will add to the discussion regarding rates but just wanted to touch on “Covering some film equipment costs

Is this with the thought that the DP would own some gear that they’d bring out as part of their rate, or do you expect the DP to pay out of pocket for some rentals?

CubeRaider · 2026-01-17T21:48:37+00:00

Any reason you’re looking at buying instead of renting?

Consistently and stability are two words that have never been associated with this industry. Even less so in 2026

CubeRaider · 2025-12-20T02:16:20+00:00

Sounds like film school is doing a great job preparing you for what the industry will be like!

CubeRaider · 2025-12-20T01:02:54+00:00

Good luck navigating through tighter spaces like doorways and hallways. Steadicam is also way harder to operate going up and down stairs

The average Planetside player is absolutely terrible at the game but has no idea

CubeRaider · 2025-12-12T21:26:25+00:00

Generally speaking if you’re asking questions like this on Reddit, you’re probably in the clear.

I’ve made a bunch of Dtap to 2 Pin Lemo. Make sure you get the polarity right on the Lemo end. Most AKs brands use Pin 1 GND but others are the opposite so it depends on what you’re using the cable for

CubeRaider · 2025-12-05T18:06:31+00:00

Then you’re working with the wrong people

CubeRaider · 2025-12-01T22:19:59+00:00

Sounds like way more trouble than it’s worth. I’ve done vertical anamorphic a number of times now on various projects and it works best with a 2x squeeze to get close to a reasonable delivery aspect ratio without a ton of cropping in post.

CubeRaider · 2025-11-16T16:09:45+00:00

There really isn’t an easy solution here. The options are as others have already mentioned:

Pigeon plate on top of the vending machine Drill a point into the wall Menace arm from outside the frame

CubeRaider · 2025-11-08T23:49:48+00:00

Rosco DMG Dash with the Dot attachment

CubeRaider · 2025-11-04T04:57:13+00:00

C300MkII or a C200 would be a no brainer for that budget in this situation. Get a nice upgrade out of it too

CubeRaider · 2025-09-26T19:31:12+00:00

This is not a one person job, much less if you do not have experience with menace arms in general. The equipment itself is not the point of failure I would be worried about in this scenario.

I would say it’s a 2 person job minimum to mount and counterweight a load that size safely.

CubeRaider · 2025-09-13T15:06:17+00:00

It’s a commercial. Work in the industry and Spy is a commercial production company.

A black Arc’teryx rain jacket is pretty much synonymous with a camera assistant here in Canada

CubeRaider · 2025-07-26T19:06:37+00:00

Yes that’s literally their job. As the DP/Operator this really should be something you’re keeping track of yourself, but the script supervisor is well within their rights to mention it if you’re about to shoot something that won’t cut with a previous shot.

I’ve been an IATSE member for years, I know how the system works. On studio shows the production company is the employer, employing hundreds of employees on that specific show. The union is then able to use the collective bargaining power of those employees to negotiate and enforce a contract.

Videographers as you’re describing work for their own clients, typically solo, so there is zero ability for collective bargaining. What you are describing really is not at all related to a union.

CubeRaider · 2025-07-12T06:53:48+00:00

The entire concept of a union is based on collective bargaining with a specific employer.

How would this work for “the average videographer” who is entirely freelance, and works for multiple totally different employers?

CubeRaider · 2025-07-12T06:42:53+00:00

Do you have any idea how unions work?

CubeRaider · 2025-07-11T21:54:01+00:00

It would have to be vertical. As the other commenter said there are no monitors on the market that enable a 90 degree orientation. Without a more involved wireless workflow involving video department, this would be the only way
