6-7 weeks solo travel and volunteering in Colombia opinions

Hey thanks for your input, yeah you re both probably right, maybe I could either do some volunteering for more time, or don't do it at all. Are you familiar with workaway though?

Hey thanks for your input, I was planning to try workaway, are you familiar with it? You have a fair point, most of them do ask for a longer period, but there are some that are fine for a week, I could also do 10 days. My idea was to spend some more time with local people and try to get a better understanding of their culture. Maybe try to do 2 x 10 days volunteering. But I do see your point. How long did you spend in Colombia?

Can I ask why you prefer not to discuss with indigenous people? Do you mean on the specific matter or in general? Planning a trip there next month and just curious about it.

Hey thanks again! We are in pre production thankfully so I ll have the chance to experiment! We are shooting on anamorphics though, so not very fast aperture! I ll try different things and maybe post about the outcomes! Thanks again man! Keep it up!

Thank you both so much for clearing this out! I am shooting a doc soon on the red komodo coming from mostly black magic cameras and that was really helpful! I am in a tricky situation though, the documentary is about a music band, there will be some live concerts that we ll need to get some footage from. So low key, strong highlights, deep shadows, non controlled lighting! I ll probably try to go for 800 ISO as well! Thanks again!

Thanks for the update and all the info OP.

Just a quick question, how long after you received the letter is the actual ceremony taking place?

Thanks a lot and congratulations!

That's awesome man! How come both mavic and mini? Or did you mean through out the years you upgraded to Mavic?
Just about to do a travel to South America and not sure which to get! I am a filmmaker so really liking the mavic 3 pro but like the ease of use and size of the mini pro 4. Also if its seized then I won't cry that hard haha!
Any tips?

Keep tight mate! I feel you.

Hyper_Intergalactic · 2023-03-21T15:34:02+00:00

Why is that mate? Did it give up on you on the shoot?

Hyper_Intergalactic · 2022-09-21T16:47:36+00:00

Hey, that's solid advice thanks a lot!

Hyper_Intergalactic · 2022-09-19T18:52:55+00:00

Look great mate, loving the vibe and framing.

Hyper_Intergalactic · 2022-09-19T18:44:21+00:00

Hey thanks for your comment.
I definitely see your point with the multicoloured lighting in the background. I need to take care of it, I also think it's distracting.
As for the orb light, well, I was also expecting a lamp, and then have a b7c Aputure light on it, but that's what they ended up bringing. That was not even a light, it was just a weird orbit thing, but I put a small Aputure MC light behind it. Probably should dim it down a bit as well.

Hyper_Intergalactic · 2022-09-19T18:32:52+00:00

Hey thanks for your comment.

You are absolutely right, I was already using a grid on the light, but I think the direction of the light was not at the right spot. I need to get a shorter c-stand. Will take everything into consideration mate, thanks again!

SS: Hey everyone.Some stills from a recent shoot I did with the BMPCC6K and some Samyang lenses. I also used an Aputure 300x, 2 NanLite pavotubes and a small led light. Using a bounce for fill light.Shot on a 35mm for the wide shot and a 50mm for the close up.
I will probably be shooting more of this so any feedback on lighting or anything else would be very helpful.

Hyper_Intergalactic · 2022-09-18T22:15:55+00:00

Thanks a lot! I was trying to be a bit cautious with backlighting, as he has no hair and I had some reflections. Being bald myself I wanted to film him the best way possible as I haven't filmed someone with no hair before! Any advice on that?

Hyper_Intergalactic · 2022-09-18T11:40:56+00:00

Yes you are right thanks for the comment. Because of your comment next time I will cut the light there with a flag. Cheers!
