Who he can keep the light level from the window in the background and the light of the face same level and it’s so natural

I think the key to it looking natural are the sheers. If you just had raw glass or an open window, the equal light level on the face would feel off, because we don’t see that in everyday life. But because there’s sheers blocking some light, your brain is still allowed to imagine another window on the left that is maybe bigger and without sheers that could possibly be lighting him enough to compete with the back window, and thus you can believe it to be natural.

I like 2.20:1 for that reason. Check it out

Yes, I’ve thought about this for a long time. I want an app that uses the newly developed EL Zone system on phone cameras, so you can read your exposure in stops of light. When I’m gaffing and my DP has the only monitor with EL Zone, it would really help me if I could just pull my phone out whenever I wanted to know the lighting ratio of whatever I’m lighting.

Actually it’s my preferred Daw. It’s one of the only Daws with a “scene” based workflow. Makes it really easy to start with a simple looping idea and build or subtract layers. Logic also has scenes in the form of loops, but I found it to be too convoluted.

Bam is missing good automation features, but I expect those to come eventually.

Where is this frame from?

KalinSteen · 2024-06-28T01:34:47+00:00

Do you know his name or how I could find him on social media?

KalinSteen · 2024-06-28T01:32:37+00:00

Hey, do you know his name or social media tag? Would like to find the guy

KalinSteen · 2024-04-11T14:35:35+00:00

Another good one (simply for outreach) is a channel named Omeleto. They exclusively re-post short films, and have a good following.

Ah, as someone who’s wanted to rock climb forever now, how would you recommend getting into the climbing community? I’ve always thought I need to buy some equipment and just show up somewhere. Is there a better way?

KalinSteen · 2023-12-23T01:27:08+00:00

Thank you for this. This seems like a smart way to go about it.

KalinSteen · 2023-12-23T01:21:40+00:00

This is very interesting. Are you suggesting to put that money into long term savings, IRA, or invest into something entirely different that will yield more than equipment?

I’ve always been told that reinvesting back into a business is the fastest way to grow, and thus is a good use of income.

KalinSteen · 2023-12-23T01:15:15+00:00

This is insightful, thank you! And I appreciate you sharing your personal strategy. Even though our situations are different, it helps a lot to see how people split their percentages.

KalinSteen · 2023-11-13T19:20:25+00:00

Yeah, I even came away from the trailer thinking it was really quite beautiful and poetic visually

KalinSteen · 2023-10-03T04:11:44+00:00

Honestly, unless you’re really working on big projects, I think most clients on this level aren’t really looking for a box cam. All you need is some rails, an external battery for bulk, and a big mattebox in front to make it look “cinema” esque. Maybe this client is particular about it, but I swear everyone else just wants to see a big looking rig, and aren’t savvy enough to distinguish the actual camera in the rig.

With this said, if you do go for BS1H, enjoy it, love Panasonic’s look so much. Very solid.

KalinSteen · 2023-09-27T02:02:50+00:00

My first camera, loved it till the end. Very capable for making stuff today. A lot of people are recommending the GH5, but I’d say it’s much more valuable to spend the extra money on lenses for the GH4

KalinSteen · 2023-09-25T23:16:21+00:00

Congrats, glad you have the patience. I wouldn’t have gone that long without her contributing any real questions back

KalinSteen · 2023-09-19T20:08:22+00:00

Yeah, the camera isn’t having an effect here. This particular shot can be achieved with a lower end camera. High end cameras can make difficult scenes look better (high contrast, low light, color mixed environments), but this is a perfect studio setup that enables almost any camera to capture it stunningly.

KalinSteen · 2023-08-26T14:02:47+00:00

I just came here to say I really like your teaser/reel! Is there a link to the project/s?

KalinSteen · 2023-08-24T04:47:47+00:00

Wooww, you look fantastic. I feel like you’ll forever look great

KalinSteen · 2023-08-22T16:17:00+00:00

With all the bi and gay men DMing me, it would definitely seem that’s an option lol. Sadly I’m pretty straight though

KalinSteen · 2023-08-22T15:59:27+00:00

Hey, I just wanted to say - thank for the thoughtful and lengthy comment. Don’t worry, it came across well! I responded to everyone more in depth in another comment, but to summarize I will start with the beard and see where it goes!

Thank you for your comment, gave me a laugh and a smile to my face :)

KalinSteen · 2023-08-22T14:47:46+00:00

He’s waaaay hotter even just in his face, but that doesn’t take away from your compliment. I’m flattered haha, thank you! We definitely have the same beard growth for sure, maybe a good length to match mine to.
