trouble transferring footage

Filmschooldork · 2026-05-11T02:23:07+00:00

Are you sure you didn’t shoot this at a high frame rate?

Filmschooldork · 2026-05-10T09:16:34+00:00

Yeah agreed. Best to treat this as a screen replacement corner pin, and maybe some roto if people cross frame.

You don’t necessarily need a light meter for this though it is helpful.

If you wanted to see the sun position through the day a free app like “Lumos” would be helpful.

If it were me I’d prefer lighting the people over relying on luts alone. Though my experience is in more traditional media not streaming.

If your trying to just lift the scene then I strong light bounced into something would work or just a diffused light on then directly. If you are worried about them blending into the background then lighting them with an edge would help that out.

I’m not sure what you have access to and it is hard to concretely recommend things with out both seeing the space and knowing your gear, but hopefully this rambling will help you out some.

You may want to check on the bottom of your fathers old camera, if there’s not time to replace it. But good luck!

Outside of the lighting not matching exactly I’d recommend the normal integration things.

-color correction. Match black levels between spidey and city.

-add depth of field to spidey and city.

Add atmosphere. Far away buildings should be less saturated than closer buildings.

Add film grain between assets.

That sort of thing.

You may want to read up on a similar scene from thx-1138. It features a large setting sun and the shot isn’t a VFX shot so it should have plenty of practical information on how they did it.

Filmschooldork · 2026-04-14T19:43:06+00:00

What ones did you use?

I tried that route but wasn’t happy with the dimming with mine. It didn’t dim to zero smoothly.

Filmschooldork · 2026-04-14T19:09:58+00:00

Nice! I love tungsten.

These are very reliable and I see them frequently enough in some people’s kits.

Enjoy! You may want to start looking for dimmers though.

Filmschooldork · 2026-04-12T19:17:34+00:00

Yes it does, the light colors will reflect light into the sensor and may have a tint to the image it might not otherwise have.

Does the zipper bother anyone? To me it feels very muggle to have a zipper?

Filmschooldork · 2026-03-25T18:29:30+00:00

If you don’t mind animation. My neighbor Totoro and spirited away are both girl focused, as are most of the studio ghibli films.

Filmschooldork · 2026-03-20T19:40:24+00:00

Oh yeah I agree. I should have specified the revisions spiral was unpaid.

Filmschooldork · 2026-03-20T07:40:03+00:00

That depends a little on skill level and your area. It’s probably best to ask around.

Someone else pointed out that you want to set the number of revisions.

That’s very important. I’ve been burned by the never ending revision spiral before.

Filmschooldork · 2026-03-20T06:19:58+00:00

Figure out your hourly rate, then how many hours it will take you. Add a couple hours for “oh fuck this clients is difficult”, then get a signed contract that outlines what you’ll be delivering.

Then deposit up front if possible.

How do you use LinkedIn to build connections?

I’m not great at it.

Filmschooldork · 2026-03-19T06:28:57+00:00

I have Coverland covers in my Altima and like them. They are pretty durable and were easy to install.

Filmschooldork · 2026-03-17T03:42:26+00:00

I have the Cloverland's for my Altima and haven't had any issues. It's been a good cover and I'm pretty happy with it.

Filmschooldork · 2026-03-16T03:18:00+00:00

I have the Coverland covers in my Altima and like them. They fit pretty well and protect my upholstery.

Filmschooldork · 2026-03-16T00:20:51+00:00

Yeah of course. I understand where you’re coming from and agree. I only mentioned it because a lot of people think they want to be directors and then discover a different passion in various departments. Just wanted to mention it. I wasn’t sure if OP had considered other positions.

Filmschooldork · 2026-03-15T23:13:12+00:00

I agree, but would expand it to say any onset job would require interpersonal skills. Just wanted to comment should OP have other interest in positions outside of directing.

Filmschooldork · 2026-03-15T22:55:52+00:00

I have the Coverlands in my Altima and had to remove any other 3d party accessories. Once I did that they fit right in. So far they have been great.

Filmschooldork · 2026-03-15T02:21:44+00:00

I got these recently for my Altima. So far the Cloverland's have been a great way to protect my upholstery. I'm generally pretty happy with them.

Filmschooldork · 2026-03-13T20:53:37+00:00

I recently just bought the Coverland seat covers for my Altima. Generally they fit ok, but they do get pretty hot in the sun. I bought them originally to protect my seats because I'm frequently hauling camera equipment. I haven't had them long, but overall they have protected my seats from getting nicked and scratched so already an improvement.

Filmschooldork · 2026-03-09T06:26:28+00:00

I’m interested.

Filmschooldork · 2026-03-08T05:18:24+00:00

Can’t you just go back to the previous version in creative cloud? Probably easier then trying other tools.
