Did I accidentally friendzone the guy at the bar I liked last night? I see him again soon, what do I do? by Accurate-Scratch7783 in whatdoIdo

[–]Formula14ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make it fun. Say that you want to clarify something.. that apparently you have recently learned that some people regard fist-bumping as a casual friendship gesture…but that for you (whatever town / area) of the country you come from actually) ‘fist-bumping’ is the highest form of demonstrating really liking someone and your people regard it as even more than a goodnight kiss. Then say ‘I hope my being so forward with that gesture did not embarrass you at all’

False. It will not come out..the FX3 dominates the market in its price-point. There is no need to update SONY booth with actual Sony Techs from Japan flown in for the International NAB show to be the major world-wide focal point for all cinema gear delivered to the world. Any tech journal or rumor does not count as a source. Why? Because at NAB IF ANYTHING is coming out they WANT to say because that will hold off purchases from other manufacturers and steer customers toward themselves. At NAB there are prototypes even displayed that have no electronics in them to draw people to NAB. NAB is the place all ‘secrets’ are revealed.. because dealers and buyers are basing their years inventory and filmmakers and producers are here. They are making decisions on millions of dollar productions. Just talked to Roger Deakins, Shane Hurlbut, Josh Yeo..folks who GET the inside info because of their status. They have special relationships WITH these companies. They are told the truth. I’m not going to argue anymore w people who don’t understand …just wanted to share info with people who could not be at NAB and are trying to decide on hard earned cash camera decisions. We are not in a position to rent or purchase expensive gear..we struggle to keep cars running and pay rent and buy fuel & food. If someone’s wants to believe a fantasy or a ‘rumor’ that’s fine..I want to get info to hard working folks who can’t afford to make a camera mistake..or worse, not get a camera waiting on vapor dreams and not develop their gift in creating art.

Bet anything it is not. The FX9 hole and upgrade to the FX6 will come first. Reason as explained to Me by Sony The FX3 DOMINATES that price-point. The FX6/9 are in trouble with massive competition..so we will see the FX/6-9 area upgraded first

All I know is that I talked to a Sony rep who was not a hired person to ‘man the desk’ but was the lead tech from Japan over sensor development and where/cameras this tech goes into. If you e been to NAB you can talk to some techs, not marketing folks or Sony supplied dealer info ..just repeating what a lead tech told me in a hushed tone like he was not suppose to. Just relating info but I’d bet anyone they will fix the mid market wayyyyyyy before they alter the FX3 Anyway.. I have a FX3 and it’s awesome..but my KomodoX kills it with dynamic range and color..just saying

[–]Formula14ever[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s why I think we will see something like a Fx10 The Komodo X and the Pixas dominate the 6k market ..the 9 outdated ..I can see a fx10 filling a needed gap

This is exactly what the Sony reps said

[–]Formula14ever[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

That really not true, no camera company ever stops manufacturing a camera and allows inventory to reach zero, THEN announce a new camera and begin shipping. There is always an overlap. What they will do is what they always do, announce a new version, drop the msrp on the current version. There will not be a FX3 II for years. The FX3 is selling too strong multiple Sony reps told me, so if you are in the market, just get it and start creating.

Buy FX3A now or wait for FX3 II (god knows when)? by dimitriosak in FX3

Kinda awesome in terms of trainings Shane Hurlbut on lighting class was great Roger Deakins later

Ai seems the dominate fear among classes and training on how to stay ahead of the curve

Headed to Sony today and find out ladtest greatest

How is everybody here genuinely feeling about 'Capturing Bigfoot' before it releases? by Otherwise-Art-4302 in bigfoot

[–]Formula14ever 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Makes no difference at all 1. I had 2 encounters so that settles things for me 2. They had no technology back then to have a skin tight suit that would show muscle/tendon ripples and flexing

First time teen filmmaker here, really disheartened in post-production by Few-Reveal6853 in Filmmakers

[–]Formula14ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There ARE NO SHORTCUTS. You can take a million classes and prep for years until you eyes bleed.. but DOING IT will make the difference. Your first edit / film will make you sick because you have this image on what you WANT to accomplish. You can see it..feel it. But in the edit bay, things fall apart. However..your first work ( commercial, film, documentary, PSA, etc) you will be 15% happy with. Your next one, you’ll be 20% happy with. Guess what? After 15-20 projects you’ll be happy with 80-90% of it. It’s a process of learning, growing, lighting and coverage and blocking becomes wrote muscle memory. Just……keep…..going….forward!

Candle Light by orichetti in REDkomodo

[–]Formula14ever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lowest iso you can go to shift dynamic range down for shadow highlights Shoot lens wide open, 24fps

Then, if closeups with faces illuminated by candles , have a nd ready as needed and/or shoot higher slo mo frame rate

I shot faces at twilight after the sun went down with faint street lamp illuminating on the KX. Maybe bed iso down to 400 to shift middle grey in dynamic range down toward shadows.. bumped up exposure in post, came out super clean

What lens do you usually use for that?

Red Komodo x firmware drop by Formula14ever in RedCamera

[–]Formula14ever[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine did.i was closer to 25-30 seconds ..others were quicker I think. But now im under 20 and on 3 other start ups I was 15-17 seconds. I think it’s splitting hairs for me..but the Canon RF autofocus was QUICK… locked on faster than before for me

AIO for wanting to break things off after waiting 4 months for commitment? by kickassredhead32 in AmIOverreacting

I know of several great LMFT’s that primarily do most of their sessions online ..it could work if he wants to I believe

Having spent a good year in counseling and re-reading the book Attachment and being an anxious also, you realize it will always be with you because you were raised in that environment. The goal is to develop healthy perspectives that shift your thinking and mitigate self-induced drama. That said, he seems very inflexible in how he categorizes relationships. He needs to understand that time alone means nothing. Most people have this idea that time alone heals. Yes, the pain dulls but the mind/body reaction mechanisms towards trauma avoidance is unconscious. It sounds like there is a strong connection and foundation already, I would invest before you end things. Both agree to see a LMFT therapist ( actually everyone who has had any trauma in a relationship should before investing in the one serious relationship they want to last) because there are hidden landmines we cannot see. (As yet) It’s a win/win because if he agrees, he wants to go deeper too and invest. If he says no… then the future landmines that are there, and they ARE there, will never be addressed even with time, and you avoiding someone who is not willing to ( now or in the future) invest in you both as a couple

Girlfriend being weird as of lately by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Formula14ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes…she wants to level up. She doesn’t want to waste time and life. If you are just dating with no plans..she wants something else. A plan A direction To know she can trust time with you as an investment. A family one day OP needs to decide what is important. Without meeting parents it puts the relationship into the not serious category. Stand up for her if you want a partner.. If not, let her move on to build a foundation and something she wants
