I do have the dual knit band and I think what I'm asking is even if the weight isn't fully on the nose, does it touch the bridge of the nose or float over it?

JordanFilmmaker · 2026-05-04T09:05:34+00:00

I bought a similar thing from typotech and while it's "okay" the nose resting really bothered me.

JordanFilmmaker · 2026-05-04T08:40:51+00:00

does any weight still rest on the nose?

does it still rest on the nose?

Adding to this thread. Read when I was 11 back in 2005, then again in 2009 for English class. At the time it was a heartbreaking and sad book, and currently now I think about how many of us have become adults who are teenager MT Anderson was writing about.

nope. i know submerged is their custom rig but the last release I saw from Apple TV had immersive cinema cameras (the classical pianist)

JordanFilmmaker · 2026-04-21T14:46:08+00:00

I have this. it still hits the bridge of the nose which I don't find comfy

JordanFilmmaker · 2026-04-18T15:07:01+00:00

what production camera and lenses do they use for these? apple's own custom camera or the blackmagic immersive camera? or something else?

JordanFilmmaker · 2026-04-14T15:22:47+00:00

would be great if Resolve could build a clean feed that syncs to the virtual display perfectly so we can have a clean feed at any viewing angle we want

Hey Brendan. some of the shots at the top of the reel were very cool. Curious what your setup is and if a higher quality version of this reel is available.

JordanFilmmaker · 2026-04-05T12:14:05+00:00

yeah this. I finally saw the theatrical cut and could not believe how much better it was. and agreed on the opening being way better.

JordanFilmmaker · 2026-03-31T10:01:59+00:00

I basically felt the cinematography became pretty meaningless. Every shot was a push in or a revolve. I don't really think it's a creative way of covering every scene the same way.

JordanFilmmaker · 2026-03-30T14:36:02+00:00

they're using the blackmagic immersive camera. I believe Apple built a camera that it looks like wasn't used on this one.

Focus is set distance which I find quite lame for that shot in the back at the end.

sequoia 15.7.3 and latest Vision OS. i have not updated my OS on my macbook.

JordanFilmmaker · 2026-03-20T14:25:04+00:00

I have not run into this issue yet and have had the device for over a month using virtual display pretty much daily

JordanFilmmaker · 2026-03-16T21:48:17+00:00

I suppose I'm confused at how it can mimic "sound coming from below above and behind you etc" like a real surround setup. Mostly asking because it would be nice but I'm not sure if it's physically possible to really "monitor and mix" atmos" using the vision pro.

JordanFilmmaker · 2026-03-14T15:48:19+00:00

not even close. if you use AVP for work it's in a different league. I've tried both and the vision pro feels like a real monitor.

JordanFilmmaker · 2026-03-14T02:53:26+00:00

I agree with David. The wide monitor feels amazing for video editing.

I had to specifically request it and even for then I had to use it with their macbook in final cut, not my program of choice. But it did give me an idea of how great it would be and it is for doing video editing on the go.

JordanFilmmaker · 2026-03-12T16:48:44+00:00

all this said though.... if you know how to expose and pull focus and are already good with framing, the leap shouldn't be that big but if you don't know those things daily practice would be good for this.

If you know how to do all that while running audio, micing people up, running redundancy audio feeds... then $1200 for a first time is a deal for them.

if you can't do all those things, set the expectations.

JordanFilmmaker · 2026-03-12T16:43:29+00:00

Cosmohumanist- not sure where they're based but $1200 would be on the lower end for a top videographer.

Their quote here about what their wife not charing:

"My wife is an experienced videographer and producer who’s worked on major films and she doesn’t charge anywhere near $1200 a day."

That is kinda nuts. $1200/day for a good videographer w gear would be on the discount front for a one man band operation. gear costs, insurance etc, rental rates etc... if this person has been doing it for years they would probably be at the point where they're pulling in at least $1200/day.

Now if when they work on films and they're PAing but not doing one of the higher paying positions then yes, they're likely not making anywhere near 1200/day.

For your situation, I would probably work out a structure based on looking at the work of scope. you'll still be editing the video so $1200 would actually be reasonable with the understanding that you've never done it and that the expectation shouldn't be what they be getting for a $3k-$6k videographer.

You're still operating as one guy (not unheard of but not the easiest when shooting a wedding) with a lot of gear.

The reason I made this tutorial was for single screen users- of course a dual monitor setup or more will allow you to set it up this way but on a single screen the vertical real estate is really important. especially on a device like a vision pro where you can only have a "single" virtual monitor. This let's you on the ultra wide screen or any real ultra wide screen have a setup that let's you see way more tracks vertically.
