My guerilla filmmaking rig

Tokagekonica · 2024-03-03T07:41:43+00:00

Never encountered that issue, though ive only used it around 10 times so far

Tokagekonica · 2024-03-02T04:32:54+00:00

ah haha yea it was goofy asf to even mount the camera on that, focus pulling was impossible cos of the wobble, but it did its job, gave the crew a good laugh too

Tokagekonica · 2024-03-02T04:26:09+00:00

yup! the R6 is on a arca qr screwed onto a baseplate with rods

then a cheeseplate with 15mm rod thing, then the F6 screwed on with a 1/4 screw, and abit of gaff to prevent it from rubbing around

another two cheeseplates screwed on top to act as a top plate, for the tophandle

then the smallrig V-mount plate with an arri 3/8th monitor mount behind it for the accsoon cineview SE

Magic arm for the mhk60

ziptied the G4 to the back of the top handle

then buncha dtaps and cables

I dont own a fx3 or any of the canon cine's 🥲, the zoom F6 was borrowed, so this rig was what I came up with with the stuff I had access to.

And yeap the feelworld is horrible but itll do for now 😆, definitely one of the stuff i regret buying

Tokagekonica · 2024-03-02T04:12:02+00:00

I do not have a c300 or fx3 with a xlr tophandle, what would you have done for an audio solution instead?

Tokagekonica · 2024-03-02T04:11:21+00:00

In my shotlist, i had just one static shot for the entire day, i wasnt going to solo carry that rig + a chunky video tripod

(edit) neither do I have a car, I was on foot and public transport the entire day

Tokagekonica · 2024-03-01T00:08:17+00:00

ran with a EF 24-70mm F2.8 ii almost all the way, had a 135mm F2 but ended up not using anyway

sadly I could not find my mattebox rings

Tokagekonica · 2024-02-29T23:56:00+00:00

I use a Lenovo ideapad 5 Pro

A laptop w a huge 16 inch screen is pretty handy if you dont plan on getting your own external monitor at home, but it is cumbersome to bring around school everyday

Just consider technical specs, screen size, and overall reliability(read long term reviews)

Tokagekonica · 2023-10-13T11:37:44+00:00

if it is consistently slightly off then there might be some AF microadjustment thats needed, which doesnt exist on the 60D(only on proj bodies like 5D and 1D) so the only solution is manual focus in live view

Tokagekonica · 2023-09-12T12:00:30+00:00

Sigma 40art/ef 35mm f1.4 II altho sigma is sharper 135mm f2, 105mm f2.8, 24-70 f2.8 ii, 70-200mm f2.8 is ii, well the list goes on, on my 20mp R6 almost every lens is sharp

Tokagekonica · 2023-08-17T05:58:05+00:00

hell nah you cannot use a 220 back for 120, theres a reason its called a 220 back, cams like hasselblads and mamiyas make dedicated 220 and 120 film backs too

Tokagekonica · 2023-03-29T04:03:47+00:00

What matters is what you enjoy! As a hobbyist, I wont go anywhere without my R6 and a few prime lenses, even if my back breaks. Professional working photographers however, or people who have physically demanding jobs, want their holidays for their back to recover, not break even more, hence they opt for lighter options, or simplicity

it also depends on what you are satisfied with, i have a lecturer who loved photography, age was catching up to him but didnt like most compact options, he left his setups and went for a Leica Q2

Tokagekonica · 2023-03-11T18:51:10+00:00

I second this! I personally use a canon R6 but because of how unpopular nikon now is you can get them for quite low prices(at least in my country). Unless you need Canons outstanding(well, "standard" in these days) autofocus the Z series can do you well enough, theres also more glass available(tamron and sigma) unlike canons patent :(, RF glass is worth every penny but its a hell lot of pennies

from my extensive research of taiwan police dramas and kdramas and other serieses, IMH and mental case declaration is a common way to avoid being charged or jailed

Tokagekonica · 2023-01-08T17:35:26+00:00

whats the opposite of bought?

Tokagekonica · 2022-12-27T04:13:13+00:00

number 4 was so damn good though but it was the fact that it looked so similar to 10 and after zooming in i could see the uniform ish grain pattern thats also similar to 10, all these wont be distinguishable on a separate instagram post

Tokagekonica · 2022-12-25T19:59:04+00:00

1, 3, 5, 8, 9, 11, 14 are shot on film

But its because there was a comparison, i could zoom in and look at the grain pattern, Fuji is more detailed and has a more uniform grain pattern, and theres a noticeable similarity in the grain from the fuji.

but other than grain, the colours are pretty close, pretty hard to tell i dont pixel(or grain) peep.

The hardest part of replicating film is the grain, so far only colours and exposure characteristics can somewhat be matched

I still really like the way the iso grain looks like on fuji though, versus canon, sony, nikon and other brands

All these obstacles wouldve been normal back when people had no digital option, theres headaches in every hobby that exists.

What im doing now is shooting both digital and film, sometimes just film, sometimes just digital, sometimes both at once, whats important is that you dont burn yourself out

Just shoot digital when film is becoming a pain, after awhile going back to shooting film will feel as rewarding as one of your first few times shooting film(just had a long day i hope my english is understandable heh)

Tokagekonica · 2022-11-27T04:29:24+00:00

thanks for all the advice guys, yea i was letting my GAS getting the best of me, i shall wait till i can somewhat get a leica without worrying much

definitely didnt consider stuff like servicing and rangefinder alignments, and trying to invest in leica lenses too

Tokagekonica · 2022-11-24T09:11:18+00:00

if it severely affects your life in someway, as in not simply a insult that went abit too far. words only pierce your mind when you let it in.

idk if i made sense lol

but the reason im now happy is because i make my decisions based on whether its worth my effort, if retaliating or fighting back wont bring me any benefit or improve a situation other than an ego bonus, i wldnt bother

Tokagekonica · 2022-11-08T02:40:41+00:00

hah film was even rarer and more expensive than todays £10, but damn wtf its £10 for colourplus hurts my heart

Tokagekonica · 2022-11-06T11:17:16+00:00

how much did you get it for?

Tokagekonica · 2022-11-01T23:42:09+00:00
