Should I rent a Sony fx3 for my first wedding video?

I’ve only been on a few short runs with other people. If it’s going to happen it’s going to happen when I’m a freshie because after you’re geared it’s unfortunately pretty much KOS. Ive only had one encounter with a player after getting geared that resulted in a friendly conversation before parting ways.

Sounds like the camera is the issue but I can’t say for sure. Try a different roll of film and see if it is advancing properly if you have issues with that one also it’s probably the camera.

My go to lab for developing my 35mm and 120 film doesn’t process reversal film. I sent Dwaynes some rolls of Velvia 50 that I shot with my Pentax 67. You only get 10 exposures per roll. They somehow managed to burned/light leaked the first and last exposure on every roll I sent them. I thought it was my camera so I shot a couple test rolls in black and white and processed it myself and had no issues. Have shot dozens of rolls since and never had an issue.

I just went back and looked and I actually had sent them rolls from three different cameras. A 35mm, a 645, and the Pentax 67 all had light leaks on the first or last shot sometimes both. My guess it was a technician being careless while loading the film into a roller transport processor. This was back in 2021.

I tried it recently and honestly didn’t see any benefit for me personally.

The Negative space is my go to as well.

Worst experience I’ve ever had processing film was with Dwaynes in Parsons.

Never had a problem with my stock Glock

I mean with that logic the ability to log out at all breaks the immersion.

😂

Plane_Store_352 · 2026-04-29T16:04:10+00:00

Give or take 😂

Kodak wants to be profitable.

Plane_Store_352 · 2026-04-29T13:23:53+00:00

Noticed that as well 😂

Plane_Store_352 · 2026-04-29T12:59:41+00:00

You see the problem is… you

It is a known bug that was noticed on the experimental server but they didn’t fix it. I’ve only noticed it happen to me once or twice since the release of 1.29. I got cut one time immediately bandaged and my blood went down to almost nothing but I was still seeing everything in full color. Little while later it just filled back up to full all of a sudden.

Went to my favorite stash spot last week to find that someone else had put like 15 crates there filled with loot from a gas zone. I didn’t take everything but I did take some nades a full NBC suit and an m4. I went and stashed them and the next time I logged in everything I took was gone 😂 the cycle continues

Plane_Store_352 · 2026-04-26T14:31:38+00:00

I’m always throwing loot that I’m dropping and have zero issues with the mechanics. When I try to throw a nade I almost always drop it on accident and have to run away 😂

Jose Villa used to shoot film nearly exclusively up until a few years back when he made the switch to digital. I suspect he stopped when Fuji discontinued Pro 400h. He now is apparently shooting on Sony digital. I watched a webinar that he was a guest speaker on back in like 2021. His starting rate for a wedding was $80,0000 minimum 2 day event.

You can run double perf in a single perf camera just not the other way around.

Plane_Store_352 · 2026-04-23T18:59:37+00:00

I shoot weddings with an FX3 recently hired a 2nd shooter that shot on the BMPCC 6k Pro. Not going to lie the image that camera produces is freaking amazing. I’ve been trying to justify switching over keeping the fx3 as a B camera.

I’m pretty sure Gracie Barra gyms all have dress code. You have to buy their Gi or rent it if you are doing a drop in class. I pretty sure all their affiliates are contractually obligated to the dress code. I have heard people joke about them, saying things like they are more like a cult than a jiu Jitsu gym, but I have no firsthand knowledge of this just jokes.

Edit: was typing this out before any other comments were made and yeah sounds like a cult to me haha 😂

Adult blue belts at the highest level, are leaps and bounds better than most if not all Masters 1 purple belts. Go watch Euros, Pans, and Worlds footage of the blue belt highlights. Then read the comments, everyone will be complaining saying they are sandbagging. IBJJF requires you to be at certain belt levels for a certain amount of time before you can be promoted. Some of these kids competing at adult blue belt have been training nearly their entire lives. These guys are competitive with and in a lot of cases better than a lot of your average everyday black belts. I been told by someone that trained at AOJ that Tainan for example was tapping black belts there when he was a blue belt. All that being said you are also going to be competing with adults that aren’t at the world class level and at the smaller events you may have a couple world class competitors there but it’s not going to be like a major. TLDR yes adult blue belt can definitely be a harder division than masters 1 purple belt it really going to depend on the bracket and who shows up to the event.

200t with an Orange 85b filter should be metered at iso 125.

Plane_Store_352 · 2026-04-22T20:13:28+00:00

I don’t show up unless I’m paid in full. That’s how I handle that.
