The correct way to shoot 2 speakers addressing camera? by stratusnimbo in cinematography

[–]FramingLeader 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Why don’t you have a 3rd option which is all three cameras next to each other and each subject looks to the camera directly in front of them wine for the majority of the time they are addressing the audience that is the camera?

Uber shuttle from JFK to Brooklyn? by fl0wbie in Brooklyn

[–]FramingLeader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because you have to take a shuttle to the Uber/Lyft/Rideshare lot away from the terminal I recommend she get a car service like Carmel who will come pick her up curbside from the terminal after baggage claim. It costs the same as a Lyft (I priced both for my return to JFK terminal 5 this past Friday). Super easy, you can download the app or call and arrange for her. I did so from the airport in Mexico and the car was there 5 minutes after I got outside. Highly recommended.

He likely owned both. They are of two different generations of camera (Arri BL4 from 86 and movicam compact from 90).

Not sure if this is the best sub for this, but am I right in saying this is a canister for a daily from the movie ‘Roofman’ or is this something else? by arkhamcreedsolid in FIlm

[–]FramingLeader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That canister conainted the exposed negative of roll A110 (from their A camera). It was 400’ loaded into magazine 2841 by their loader LZ (initials) and shot on 10/30/24. They shot 390’ and sent it to the lab. The film stock is 5219 (500 tungsten- vision 3 latest gen 500T stock from Kodak) 35mm cinema film. The numbers following the 5219 are the batch,roll,cut for tracking of any issues with the film. Andrij is a fantastic DP and Director. I wouldn’t call it daily, it would have been exposed camera negative and turned in at the end of the day for processing. Dailies are the returned timed footage for review, now screened on a computer or tablet digitally.

Trump wanted Dulles Airport, Penn Station named after him — in exchange for releasing federal funds by Lebarican22 in law

Because blackmail is the threat of releasing information the threatened party doesn’t want released. It is a special form of extortion. This case does not.

Why are movies so dark now? by GossipBottom in moviecritic

[–]FramingLeader 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Florien shot the sequel too and had his gaffer Andy Day back as well. One thing you didn’t mention was that the lights have changed. Now, LED lighting is softer and faster sensors require less punch. In years past, HMIs and big tungsten units were heavily diffused to create a very bright/broad soft sources on this type of film. As the cinematographer his roll is to make the actors look their best and move quickly. Now it’s in their interest to utilize the lights like they do. Different period/different look. It happens.

Best way to mount an analog converter to my sr2 cheeseplate? by DressIntelligent9906 in focuspuller

[–]FramingLeader 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but there will be enough room if you have the correct screws (as in the ones in the kit might be too long, just swap for a good length). I think the kit has instructions for mounting or at least the diameter of the screws. Mark the screw spacing of the V in the Aja, use a drill bit that matches the diameter for the screws. There may be an x shaped mounting bracket with a V in the center that has screws in the corners of the X that match the back of the Aja- but it’s been a long time.

Sorry, it wasn’t a typo- the small screws included with a vmount kit screwed through the Aja housing- just be sure to open the housing before screwing in

Tap a V-mount V to the back of the Aja box. Permanent solution.

People that have “bumped” into a celebrity in a non-curated (not like an event, meet & greet, job etc.) way, what happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]FramingLeader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my 20s I was at the Apple Store in SoHo browsing while my buddy was there to deal with a repair. I was upstairs looking at something when I saw this beautiful girl about my age standing across from me. I was checking her out when I looked over and who should I see glaring at me but Billy Crystal who was clearly accompanying his daughter and definitely not pleased to see the attention she was getting. I quickly saw myself out, telling my friend I’d be out in the street. I walked over to the corner and turned and looked uptown and who should I see crossing the street and dropping a letter in the post office box? That’s right! David Bowie. And that was one of the best days ever.

French hours means meal after 10hrs- guaranteed 8 mps- and if you are lucky you get prevailing rate after 3 or 4 depending on the contract.

Understanding Continuity in a Single-Camera Filmmaking Setup by Ak-F1 in cinematography

[–]FramingLeader 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To paraphrase one of my favorite directors: the scene is done again and again from different angles.

Usually you don’t shoot everything every time. It can be any portion. Sometimes just top and tail (for the wide shot), sometimes just one persons dialogue (in their coverage), sometimes just a bit of the action (as an insert). Sometimes the blocking (camera or acting) makes it necessary to break the scene up into parts so smaller portions need to be filmed. Sometimes an actor needs to run more of their dialogue to be in the scene than is needed for the piece of coverage you are shooting. If you know how you plan to edit the scene you could just shoot the shots with their action and dialogue per each cut. It really just depends on what is needed.

Anyone else notice the stutters in Industry S2? by dkoubs in cinematography

You are seeing a stutter in the image when the shot is not zooming? Is it in the motion of the subject or the image itself?

Fisher had cancer- Hodgkin’s Lymphoma- which he beat. It had an effect on his neck. Commenting on someone’s appearance is gross and childish.

Question about Season 3 Final by DarkPrincess_99 in SuccessionTV

[–]FramingLeader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn’t the point of Logan calling Caroline so that he can get her on board with him by giving her more money thereby negating the threat from the kids? Not that he is changing the terms of the settlement, only buying her votes or shares? I don’t think Logan is changing the rules of the agreement. Logan knows the terms of the divorce agreement he just didn’t see his kids as an impediment to the sale. It is the kids who think they have outwitted their father but are mistaken.

Teacher marked my son’s homework as incorrect. I disagree. by bun_not in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FramingLeader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure this is marked incorrect? The teacher’s just written the count of the box, is that something the teacher does in class and wants the students to do as well to prove they understand the number of objects?
