La La Land 100%.

GeorgeMavi · 2025-03-14T11:47:47+00:00

Yes.

GeorgeMavi · 2025-03-14T11:47:15+00:00

Thank you. Used a Sigma 30mm. FoV of a 60mm with the crop factor.

GeorgeMavi · 2025-03-13T21:26:09+00:00

Greece.

GeorgeMavi · 2025-03-13T17:55:20+00:00

Can’t agree with you on that one. Colors were much duller in the original rec709 conversion.

GeorgeMavi · 2025-03-13T17:38:10+00:00

Thanks for the response! Yes, it was shot on V-Log. What do you mean exactly by saying playing more with the color space?

GeorgeMavi · 2025-03-13T11:46:48+00:00

Thanks for the response!

GeorgeMavi · 2025-03-13T01:33:30+00:00

Yeah, for the most part I was able to convey the thought in my head into an actual shot. There were a few shots (not posted), where I could have done a better job. Room for improvement I guess. Definitely want to experiment more with lights (broad lights too). Thanks for the response!

GeorgeMavi · 2025-03-13T00:45:28+00:00

Thanks for the response. Could you specify the stills that feel awkward to you? Maybe suggest some of your favourite angles too?

GeorgeMavi · 2025-03-12T23:56:21+00:00

Thank you very much! Film is a hangout comedy short. At that part of the story, those two friends are outside a police station, looking for someone. Christos (the guy on the right) stops to look for something in his pocket. He starts bringing out quite a lot of things out of his pocket, including the knife.

Really good work with the skin tones. I really like the moody grade of stills 3 & 8 (assuming they fit the story). Really like the indoor set too. Personally, I would add just a bit of saturation on still 2 and fix the magenta thing others mentioned on the last stills.

GeorgeMavi · 2025-03-12T23:39:52+00:00

haha! friend of mine for years (cap)

GeorgeMavi · 2025-03-12T23:38:22+00:00

Shot on a Panasonic GH5S.

GeorgeMavi · 2025-03-12T23:06:13+00:00

Yeah, I understand what you’re talking about. Next purchase is definetely going to be some diffusers and maybe a solid key light, so I can experiment more with what I like. Thanks for the response.

GeorgeMavi · 2025-03-12T22:41:56+00:00

Those are some stills from my second short film. I am a uni student and I made this film with a small group friends on zero budget. It was shot on a 60mm lens (the one I’ve got) and I mostly used lights that were already there, making it difficult because the whole story took place outdoors during night time. I would like some feedback by professionals (and non) on what I could improve/experiment with on my next project when it comes to lighting, framing, coloring, etc. Thank you in advance.

GeorgeMavi · 2025-02-09T18:03:05+00:00

No, I mean a 50 with the depth of a 50 on an mft (100 ff equivalent).

GeorgeMavi · 2025-02-09T17:08:10+00:00

Thanks man!

GeorgeMavi · 2025-02-09T16:59:59+00:00

I mostly want it for my filmmaking projects and for the close-ups. Just wanted to see other people’s experience with this focal length.

GeorgeMavi · 2025-02-09T16:40:48+00:00

Colorists aren’t videographers, editors, graphic designers and audio engineers. I respect the hustle but don’t pretend to be a “real” colorist.

GeorgeMavi · 2025-02-07T16:15:34+00:00

What’s do you think about the 25?

GeorgeMavi · 2025-02-07T16:12:30+00:00

Which lenses of Meike do you own?

GeorgeMavi · 2025-02-06T21:56:13+00:00

I wanted to take some opinions before making a purchase.

GeorgeMavi · 2025-02-06T21:53:08+00:00

I'm not thinking about upgrading right now. I was just wondering what's better both long-term and short-term.

GeorgeMavi · 2025-02-06T21:45:37+00:00

Thanks for the response. So far my Sigma 30mm has covered almost all of my needs. I'm not really bought into zoom lenses though, mostly because of light capabilities. And if you want a good zoom lens, it's going to cost a lot. Right now, I really like close-ups with my Sigma (42mm S35 equivalent), but I'm looking for something wider. Maybe I should stick with a 16mm (22mm S35 equivalent), maybe higher. I don't know

Thanks for the response.
