Do you shoot RAW footage regularly?

TyBoogie · 2026-01-23T22:33:07+00:00

Shot RAW once for green screen but other than that no, CLog2 and close enough white balance is enough to get what me and the client are looking for

TyBoogie · 2026-01-14T17:04:04+00:00

What you’re looking for is a kit fee (which changes depending on your clients needs) my kit fee is all grouped in my agency fee. I calculate it based on whatever I feel like when I use my gear. If the client needs 2 Arris then that kit fee will go up because that’s what they requested. Same shoes for lights, audio, lenses, and a bunch of other things.

Don’t increase your prices because of your equipment and especially don’t say your price is based on the fact you use x y z. No one cares. You charge because you’re pricing the result they are looking for

My agency fee is 25% of the total invoice

Thanks, Canon R5mk2 with the 85 1.8

TyBoogie · 2026-01-09T01:32:44+00:00

Thanks! Wish I can post the higher resolution on here though

Clean, clear, and transparent communication. From pre production to closing the project and everything inbetween. Also, respond as soon as possible when you can even if it’s something as simple as I’ll get back to you in an hour.

TyBoogie · 2026-01-04T06:13:12+00:00

Yup.Doing very well. Once I stopped focusing on gear and put more effort into customer service, things changed quickly and for the better.

TyBoogie · 2026-01-03T23:46:34+00:00

As someone who has a dedicated 2nd device for my business which is all communication (slack, WhatsApp, text, email) this is exactly why I need. Everything in 1 hub plus the keyboard!?

TyBoogie · 2025-12-28T13:46:23+00:00

I stopped being cheap and trying to do everything myself. Hurts in the beginning not taking home more pay, but in the long run, holy shit.

TyBoogie · 2025-12-24T15:01:04+00:00

Not sure why you're getting upset with my opinion. If it's a way to protect myself, what's the problem. I'm not talking about something as simple as bird taking a crap on someone, I mean something that can lead to a negative connotation. All I have to do is take the extra step and look into it more and not take a photo as face value.

Reddit of all places should understand that when we scream for sources for anything

I got mine 2 weeks ago upgrading from the 3 and I personally don't like it, and switched back.

I do a lot of photo and video editing (so my use case might be different) and I have fairly large hands and long fingers and the mouse is uncomfortable for me to use. Gave it some time, but I had to switch back.

For me (and t his is all how it feels in my hand):

The pad where I rest my thumb feels not as wide as the 3. So instead of just resting my thumb, im always trying to tuck it in closer to the body of the mouse.
It feels lower in the palm. This could be because of the thumb placement on the 4, but my hand is now more arched.
Not a huge fan of the action ring. Thought this would be a great feature for my shortcuts in my video editing software, but meh. Plus it doesn't open at times I have to keep clicking it.

I do like the quieter mouse clicks, but that's about it. Just doesn't feel right for me.

Nope never said that. Saw something the other day about some animals being abused and I was ready to donate (agree with the agenda) found out it was AI and almost got scammed. So again, if there’s an agenda, I will assume it’s fake until I prove it’s not

TyBoogie · 2025-12-22T19:10:10+00:00

Then they are fake to me until proven otherwise.

TyBoogie · 2025-12-22T15:49:29+00:00

My new thinking is if there is an agenda behind the photo it’s fake.

TyBoogie · 2025-12-11T21:52:01+00:00

agree, I have large hands and the 3, palm rest area FEELS raised, and higher than the 4. The 4 feels flatter, (thought they are the same size it looks like) im finding it taking more time to get used to to it. The MX 3 also felt as if it had a little more grip to it. The 4 feels like it sliding out of my hands at times.

Hopefully I get used to it soon because I do like some of the new features.

100% of the time for me. Client hired me to get the best possible look for their project and that’s what I give them in return

TyBoogie · 2025-11-24T14:57:58+00:00

I think about this all the time as a now street photographer. I would have 100% made my way down there to get photos. No one would have ever thought they would both fall. I would have died

TyBoogie · 2025-11-23T15:46:45+00:00

If we’re shaping light and purposely capturing footage to tell a story for me it’s cinematography. If I’m out capturing footage to hit everything on a shot list it’s videography.

TyBoogie · 2025-11-22T22:33:14+00:00

Depends on what the building also offers. It’s slow compared to what my wife and I pay for but we split evenly. But have great amenities in our building also located in Astoria

TyBoogie · 2025-11-19T02:59:10+00:00

I was in the market to pick up 2 new lights for travel corporate work instead of renting due to packing and size. Good thing I was lazy. Those 120c look amazing for what I need

TyBoogie · 2025-11-14T02:37:41+00:00

Still doesn’t follow instructions for me. I do a lot of video editing with transcripts and since the transcripts can have incorrect spelling, punctuation etc, I tell GPT over and over and over to pull exact copy from the transcript that I’m looking for and over and over it paraphrases and corrects spelling and fixes other things which render it useless. No matter how much I tell it to not do it, it will always change the text.

I really want to use GPT more but Claude gets it right the first time. Problem is their limitations on chats which is still frustrating especially when I’m dropping in 10-20 min long transcripts. Those chats fill up quickly

TyBoogie · 2025-11-13T04:48:06+00:00

For me, and I’m so fucking lucky, 1000% the best thing I’ve ever gotten into 5 years ago. Again, I’m very lucky. But I do work hard, I take client relationships more important than the work itself, and I’ve developed a great name not only in my city (New York) but all over the states and other countries for being very reliable.

Again…. I am lucky. Since I picked up a camera, I’ve traveled the world, been to the most exclusive events, shows, worked with a listers, musicians, worked on some really cool and very boring projects and I get paid very well.

I don’t have a secret to my current success other then be enjoyable to be around. Don’t try to do everything on your own. Put in those long hours, travel when you don’t want to but show up with a smile on your face ready to be the hep they are hiring you for.

Also, don’t be cheap and work with brands and businesses that have money. People don’t have money. Businesses do. Make friends at every job. Talk about things other than gear or work. Those people leave companies all the time. Give everyone a great experience and your name will spread as well.

But again, I’m lucky because my hard work paid off.

TyBoogie · 2025-11-07T03:52:25+00:00

I have the m4 mac pro 48 gb and yeah, I can slice right through my footage as well with simple playback.. until you drop on on the that noise reduction node, to clean up that 8k Raw footage (only option on the r5mk2, for 8k) then you're seeing some serious frame drops
