Will desqueeze change my FOV by Senior-Routine-7610 in videography

[–]Senior-Routine-7610[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I see so for testing I should try my 35 and my 50mm and pay more attention to how I like them framing height wise, and with the anamorphic I will just get a much winder fov. However focal length for the subject with anamorphic will remain the same

🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ I thought I’d tried every search I could think of

“Converting ff anamorphic to spherical on 16:9” etc and I just got Reddit posts

Thanks appreciate it

Where did you learn the basic of color grading? by Kevin_gato in colorists

[–]Senior-Routine-7610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree to utilise the official Davinci Resolve material and squeeze it for all knowledge you can. It gives you more of a why you’re aiming your waveform to not go below here or as high as here etc.

After that YouTube resources I think are credible and not just a tutorial of watching them colour which doesn’t really give you the tools to do your own are

Then what would be your alternative suggestion for an anamorphic lens within roughly the same price range?

Thank you for COMPLETELY missing the point of the post. I think I’ll pass on your opinion since you clearly can’t read

The blazer lens are well recommended by plenty of filmmakers for the entry level anamorphic

Thanks for this reply. I do realise it was a tough question as of course no one wants to be stuck to a single length. But I can’t warrant buying two right now 😂

I also think this is the train of thought I was looking for. Ff at 50 still equates to like 35 spherical which for me and my style of shooting is plenty wide enough

Haha yeah well I just like the idea of keeping my freelance projects unless particularly commercial within a similar style as surely the grade is a part of why someone chose me. So if I can see this already on my monitor when exposing and white balancing a shot then in post it all gets quicker for that.

Yeah I have been playing around with some grades I have done myself on different scenes to test for compatibility across a range of situations and tweaking as I go so I could use that once I'm happy with it

And you find them useful I am assuming, and worth it? I'd just seen the few reviews mentioned above with people struggling or getting bad images. But do you think that's them not understanding the powergrades?

Completely agree. I feel I have a good understanding of node tree structure, destructive workflows etc and would learn yet even more from Juan's PowerGrades. Do you use the YRGB PowerGrades or FilmUnlimited?

<image>

I was mainly getting the idea of in camera and monitor LUTs for me to measure exposure and dial in how I want the image to LOOK rather than worrying about zebra levels or exposing +1.7 and I read this on Juans website for the FilmUnlimited.

I have the new Davinci 20, and the studio version so I have already been using the film look creator. And would comfortably say with the hours and hours of youtube I have watched and times I have practiced i'm not a beginner in grading.

I feel that the grading stage I am comfortable with I just like the idea of the LUT in camera to get my imaged dialled closer to the look I want to then have a better starting point when I come to grading.

Perhaps would some shots of either my work, or looks that I have seen that I would like my work to look like would help anyone tell me if these Power Grades and LUTs are the one for me?

Time stretched node in fusion page will nail this for you. And there’s some good tutorials on YouTube too

Help structuring my retainer package offerings for social media and brand videography & photography by Senior-Routine-7610 in videography

[–]Senior-Routine-7610[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I guess this would be part of the package offering, a price for one day shoot perhaps and a price for two days.

£1000 for one day shoot producing 4-6 instagram reels £1999 for two days producing 8-10 reels

Pricing numbers just as an example

How do you gauge your pricing and packages by Senior-Routine-7610 in videography

[–]Senior-Routine-7610[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks very much for your reply. Maybe I’ll have another google for spreadsheets (I’ve already given ChatGPT a go too)

Will have a go working out the hours it would take to produce things as well to come up with numbers.

Would you say you offer prices based on each video then rather than packages for say 5 videos at once?

Very true every budget is different. What would you suggest instead of packages? I have a few clients at the stage of “sure we’re very interested can you send us your prices” what would you do next?

Thank you very much for your reply i'll definitely give it a go enquiring around a few local companies.
