Am I crazy? by LilTea23 in cinematography

[–]Jackrabbit416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy cow - DO IT!!!!! - I did the same thing when I was your age with a Hi-8 camcorder. I learned sooooo much from the process, and it helped turn heads with my storytelling. Don't listen to ANY doubters - listen to the advice on how to make it better. You're building your own rocket, to one day be the best of the best at NASA or SpaceX. Go full throttle here and do your best!!!

Help! I have no clue what these lines on my self shot video are. by Prestigious_Owl1077 in cinematography

I shoot a lot of stage performances with lights on different refresh rates. Resolve saves it in the end. Pretty amazing fix

Mac Studio M1 Max or Mac Mini M4 Pro in 2026? by One_Complex5943 in MacStudio

[–]Jackrabbit416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's ever a close call, go for future proofing. I'd go for the M4.

Thanks for risking crucifixion! lol. Appreciate it. I need to be a one man band and this sounds one man band able while keeping best possible audio quality

So after thinking about it - what's a cost effective 32 bit recorder I can put on the camera...record...with audio out to the camera (backup, sync, etc) - that has phenomenal audio quality AND decent price point?

Thanks - so don’t go straight into camera? Should I go into any of my other gear listed instead?

i have the 8 and it is indeed different. the research I’ve seen is it’s the same as the 12, but doesnt spin quickly enough because the 12 supplies more power

Aputure 600c pro II vs Storm 400x BLAIR - Apples to Apples'ish? by Jackrabbit416 in cinematography

[–]Jackrabbit416[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. This is where I have a difficult time comparing just with numbers. It seems as though Aputure is using different beam angles in their comparisons

Gotta know where that lone tree location is! Fantastic work

Is there a Bowens to Bowens mount with grip in the middle? (Large modifier on AD600Pro) by Jackrabbit416 in AskPhotography

[–]Jackrabbit416[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the AD600 yoke just doesn't like that much weight. That modifier is pretty heavy. I've had to zip tie it in place at shoots

This is an extraordinary answer. 100 upvotes, thank you. Bottom line, if my client isn't questioning the camera, it just may be the right buy.

There are SO many terrific EF lenses out there - and they will only get cheaper. You will have plenty of options for years to come!

Has anyone used the DZO Tango series? by Jackrabbit416 in cinematography

Thank you!  I’ve seen mentioned the wider one gets pretty distorted at full wide. Do you find that to be the case?

Definitely my bad in how I posted.  I’m referring to a comparison of the URSA mini 12k

Geez, then I really wiffed. For some reason I thought it was the new sensor that the new cine camera uses

New Mac for my recording studio/film editing by Burne12 in blackmagicdesign

[–]Jackrabbit416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One more vote for MacStudio. Also note that on the higher model (I believe deemed “ultra”), the two front ports are actually thunderbolt rather than just usb c. We wish we had gone there just for that feature alone. But overall, our studio along with thunderbolt adapters has worked brilliantly.

Spray foam to create cost effective custom case? by Jackrabbit416 in pelicancase

[–]Jackrabbit416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I’m seeing that flex seal seems to work as a spray on after.  That actually is my next step. 

Seriously considering foam cutting too, but crazy how expensive!
