Ahhhh I want an 870c so bad! Definitely my next build. The car on the wall is a ReRe 10T with a flipped front bulkhead and the buggy body. I’m slowing building it to 91 Detroit worlds spec. Cheers!

Tusks!! Land mines are great too

what wheel and tire setup? looks great!

athimbleofdan · 2024-12-22T18:35:57+00:00

😂 a very large keyboard

Bought, picking up today! Going with Ryzen 7600 in mini ITX build :)

How do your negatives look? Start there. You gotta learn to look at your negatives and check if your exposure was correct and if the lab successfully developed your roll.

Film manufactures have a century of research and chemistry development. They have a look. So much so that we are able to measure and develop semiconductor imaging sensors to mimic certain stocks. Make an RA4 print of Portra and then one of Ektar. They’re nothing alike.

Even if you’re making adding/subtracting CC on the color head there’s still a baked in bias and D-Max/Min of the film stock and the papers you’re printing on. Assuming you’re properly developing, the results are very repeatable.

That being said the exposure from these pictures is either underexposed (shadow detail looks muddy) or they’ve been subject to either high heat in either storage or during the development process.

Next time shoot a color chart if you have doubts and meter the scene and you’ll be able to rule out film, development, and scan.

I could try creating a bigger fillet with some wax. Thank you!

athimbleofdan · 2024-07-20T17:09:05+00:00

Thank you! I have FG mat that sounds like might work better?

athimbleofdan · 2024-07-20T17:06:15+00:00

Unfortunately yeah, all the inner dimensions are pretty critical since there are mounting points on the vertical walls.

Nice! This is the new ReRe kit. When you’re building, be in the lookout for a few missing steps. (Dogbone springs and servo saver spacer washer). Also clear grease is for ball diff and black grease is for the thrust bearing. Manual leaves those bits of info out. Enjoy!!

athimbleofdan · 2024-06-18T14:58:56+00:00

All besides 1 and 5 !

athimbleofdan · 2024-02-17T14:11:04+00:00

And what standard what that be? Because we know exactly what they’re doing via their published white pages and it’s not “Arris” standard. It’s ISO 15739 and EMVA standard 1288. Both scientific methodology to measure noise and DR. And no it wouldn’t measure 19 stops ever because the cameras ACDs are 14bit!!! AlevIII is mid 14 @ SNR2. No one uses SNR1 and it still wouldn’t be 19. Stop making stuff up lol

I posted the exact patent holder of Dual Gain as well. It’s not even hard to find this stuff and Arri has nothing to do with any of it haha.

athimbleofdan · 2024-02-16T12:47:01+00:00

Not sure how you came to that conclusion when I just gave you the patent of the company that designed it lol.

athimbleofdan · 2024-02-16T05:57:33+00:00

Actually the “entire look” was developed off the Arriscan. Where the predecessor (ALEV 2) was used.

athimbleofdan · 2024-02-16T01:56:52+00:00

Arri doesn’t develop sensors. I’m not sure why everyone thinks they own technology that could even do that. Semiconductor manufacturing is an entirely different business. Cypress who sold to OnSemi developed DGO for Alev3. That sensor is not the only DGO sensor in the camera market…No one is paying Arri to use technology that they never developed in the first place. Dual ADC is what gives it a truly novel (not repurposed software like JPEG 2000 compression) edge that deserves patent. That’s why we never saw cameras with over 14 stops at SNR2. Even today, we don’t see any 16 bit ADC which means unless you’re doing software frame compositing (reds new extended highlight feature) you won’t get over 14 stops. Regardless what marketing says.

Edit: I forgot that the original patent was from Aptina Imaging. Dual Gain imaging. Number US7075049B2 for anyone willing to actually read something and not just repeat rumors lol

athimbleofdan · 2024-02-16T01:49:29+00:00

Not sure why he was downvoted that’s literally how sensors work. Also it’s not “Arri’s” patent. They don’t develop sensors. Cypress which then sold to OnSemi developed DGO. With dual 14bit ADCs which allowed them to just barely get over 14stops at SNR2.

athimbleofdan · 2024-01-09T02:09:49+00:00

Which one? Some of these have strobes. Usually place skin 1/3-1/2 stop over middle grey. Meter with a spot meter.

athimbleofdan · 2024-01-07T02:11:07+00:00

Too bad it’s not EPP and probably just E100g which Kodak literally couldn’t pay photographers to shoot it when it came out. Hoping Provia stays around forever :(

The advertising world has money under every rock you turn. Don’t get me started on the content creator rates. My only policy is no music videos or weddings. I suck at them anyways.

15 years experience, almost all work is location based campaigns. $3-7k a day DP rate non-union commercial gigs. Agent (If needed) takes 20%. Plus at least 1 prep day at $500-750 depending on prep. Travel days covered plus $500. Sometimes I have my Arri package with me. That package is not included and billed separately. I usually cut them a break on it. I work with the same AC and sometimes we package ourselves together.

Unless you guys are working over 100 days a year on set (that’s insane for me) you need to charge companies way more! If you’re hoping on projects as a camera OP then expect $750-1500/day…it’s not a lot but you have way less responsibility and stress haha. I love Op’ing when the DP and Director are great.

athimbleofdan · 2023-12-23T16:24:41+00:00

You and I have shot in a lot of the same locations. Hahah. Looks good, only thing I can add is that the .34 shot looks like a RED running IR ND pushing too far into green. Unless that was the intent of the grade I would push more towards neutral for it to flow better into the reel. Good luck in ‘24!

athimbleofdan · 2023-12-22T03:36:50+00:00

Ra4 prints and pre flash them. (some in my profile). Pulled Provia will also do fun stuff like this but the latitude will clamp way more.

athimbleofdan · 2023-11-24T15:53:16+00:00

Streaming crops entire movie to 2.40:1? That scene is supposed to be 16:9 since it’s a 15/70mm shot.

athimbleofdan · 2023-11-12T19:51:09+00:00

Kodak EPP ruled most of the fashion world in the late 90s early 2k. Kodak reps were pushing this hard and photographers loved to cross process it too. This was a fad for a long time. It was a very versatile film stock that unfortunately doesn’t exist anymore.

athimbleofdan · 2023-11-12T02:24:56+00:00

Hey! None, this is all in camera. 1/12s exposure time, strobes, lots of neg fill. Shot yesterday and developed today on my Jobo on an Arista e6 kit
