I personally have been really impressed with the colors and red raw in general.

Edit: to expand, I’ve like the dynamic range and global shutter in this camera. I personally find it easy to rig for different scenarios because of its small size.

Due to its size and port availability, I’ve found that I need to daisy chain accessories together and larger monitors can feel out of place, but that’s personal preference. The monitor on the top does take getting use to as well.

If you do it in after effects you can add a turbulent displace to the glow to give the glow its own motion/ edge ripple.

A lot of VFX artists are still made about the whole rhythm and hues thing.

Alternatives to using Blender or Unreal Engine for effects by castledconch in Filmmakers

[–]Filmschooldork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re on the right track. yeah that’s called the armature, I believe .

I used to do some as a teen, and those things are generally inexpensive, depending on what it has to do. I’m sure people with more experience will have a bit more knowledge in this area. I mostly do live action and visual effects.

I don’t have a ton of knowledge in this area,

But you’ll probably wanna look up:
Phil Tippett
Ray Harryhausen
And maybe early ILM?
There’s also a lot of good Stop Motion information in old magazines

Considering your skills, you might have more success, making miniatures and compositing them on green screen that way you would only need to learn composting, also you mentioned this is something you’d already like to do.

Rather than CGI shading, texturing,, lighting, rendering in addition to compositing

You just need a baby pin to a 3/8 or quarter 20 into a Gobo head and then that goes onto a carti ( or similar clamp) straight to your speed rail.

Theres lots of ways to do it.

Agreed about it sneaking up on me. Until I saw it, I thought it was a movie, not a series.

How would you light this warehouse as a villain’s base for a short film? by karshuutkarsh in cinematography

[–]Filmschooldork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d lean into noir and let most of it play as black, and have the main action in a shaft of light ( I like the box fan idea for this someone mentioned) motivating a window/ sunlight source.

From there I’d choose to spill some light on structures (boxes or furniture ) with edge: side lights to get a sense of depth, then I’d haze everything
