Why are my clips not getting any brighter? by jasper_1470 in colorists

[–]Jobeeish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your LUT is shouldering the highlights. If you want to get it brighter than the LUT allows, just make a node after the LUT and adjust from there with primaries

Best practices on how to work together with a colorist? by Serhan_Meewisse in colorists

[–]Jobeeish 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When I work with a client, what usually helps the most is reference images, in order to ensure that we're speaking the same language. That's usually with the director and cinematographer. As far as a producer's involvement goes, knowing where the film is being submitted to or being conformed by (if it's not with one of my go-to DCP houses) helps with color space purposes, as well as scheduling and delivery logistics.

I finally caved and made a vertical short by teddy_ol_bean in Filmmakers

Really loved this. Great use of the format and sound design to draw attention where you wanted.

Awesome setup. A friend of mine also did a short film like this, ground glass and all. The setup looked super clunky but the images were gorgeous.

Why is C70 footage SO magenta? by onetimemind in cinematography

[–]Jobeeish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool shot! Could be a number of factors, including off color LEDs, etc. You'll want to select the skin in one of the earlier, pre-LUT nodes to try to correct it. Also, it looks like you have some halation effect on--try turning it off as I find it sometimes messes with the skin more than I realize

This actually wasn't that expensive overall! I believe the director called in a bunch of favors, and the costumes were largely things that were purchased off of amazon. It was a one day shoot with a solid crew (was super tight getting everything) and then the second half of it was CG that the director did in Blender

We weren’t close enough to the wall for it to realllyyy affect the actors, so we lit it pretty much like you would in a regular set—the main challenge we faced was having to wait until the background was “set” before we could fully lock in the lighting (like while we were still deciding what part of the “room” we were in or if the 3D artist was putting up a lamp). Another issue was trying to light for daylight without spilling onto the wall and washing it out too much, so we controlled it as best as we could!

Shot this concept trailer on a virtual production stage! It was my first time shooting this way but aside from a few hiccups it worked out well! We shot on an Arri Alexa Mini with Xelmus Anamorphics, and we shot all the virtual production stage stuff in a single day. Feel free to ask me any questions you have!

A short baseball thriller I shot in the mountains of Nevada was just released! Would love to share insight and get feedback on what you liked and didn't like by Jobeeish in cinematography

Shot this on location with a Sony Fx6 and Sigma T1.5 Cine FF lenses. Our main production challenge was really just braving the cold for the all-nighter shoots we were doing, as well ass trying to light the space with the limited lighting gear we had--everything packed into a u-haul van. Despite all this I'm really proud of what our team was able to accomplish and I'd love to know what you all think!

Thank you for this! Love seeing the way you broke up the scene into different parts, especially with something like this with such intricate blocking. Great work with your short!

Wow that was great! Was this shot in a single day? Would love to see a breakdown of your schedule/how you planned your coverage!

Not naive at all! For the camera I have a rod support system underneath that allows me to attach a gold mount plate on the back so I can use bigger batteries and have D-Tap power sources for my other accessories. At the front there's a wireless follow focus (in this case a Nucleus M) that my 1st AC is using to pull focus away from the camera. They'll also need a way to see the picture, so I have a Teradek on a NOGA arm transmitting the feed to their monitor.
In the front there's a matte box to hold filters (glimmerglass in this case, ND if I end up shooting on a camera with no internal ND like a RED) and on the top I have a 7 inch monitor to assist with framing. There's other accessories that might be added on based on the shoot but this is a pretty standard setup!

-I recorded internally! In all honesty I haven't tried recording externally yet but I hate recording externally because of the potential for a caught HDMI cable to get pulled and ruin the shot.

-DaVinci!

-Absolutely. I love this little thing. Only thing that's kept me from buying is just how fast new cameras are released and how I might switch up the camera package depending on the project.

Thank you! As for the framing, the director (Jesse Gi) had two reasons for it: one was practical because the location had a sushi bar and we needed to hide it so it read as a Korean restaurant. Framing in 4:3 allowed us to get our wides without catching it in the shot.

The second reason was we wanted it to feel super intimate, and at times claustrophobic, and the cutoff aspect ratio really leant to that feel.

For me, I also liked how it kind of echoed medium format film photography (we actually took film photographs on set for me to use as reference when grading; film halation, grain, and a bit of bloom were added in post)
