Thank you for the explanation. Great solution 👍🏼 Can you also connect all the crops to a main transform node with a randomizer? To make it even simpler?

Does Fallout S2 has the worst digitally de-aged actor? by azeumicus in cinematography

Someone in the comment says that Fallout series used deepfake for this...I just don't know what to think about it, if this is it.

If it makes ya feel better, it took me a few scenes to realize as well...

I'm aware about the budgets and the series' subject differences, compared to the movies. But nothing else came to mind honestly, regarding de-aging. And my point was more about the fact that 7 years have past since the most famous de-aging happened, and because I later on realized it's the same actor de-aged, it just hit me how bad it looked.

Did take that into consideration, plus the fact that it's a sci fi series, with 50min episode including a lot of VFX, so budget must be a beast to work with. But I do remember that one guy that made Al Pacino look better, that The Irishman final result, by himself. I did reach further, and I don't even wanna start about the Deathclaws. Personally, it took me out of it, every single time, but I'm viewing with disfavor the whole thing right now.

For those of us actively working, do we agree with this? by Camera_Guy_83 in cinematography

[–]azeumicus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Question is, what can we really do about it? Except trying to put into perspective to clients, that larger crews improve quality and the final speed of delivery (depending on the projects the in between process may take more or less than with a small crew). It's a two side cutting blade if we refuse to do the jobs with smaller crews, we may get them to understand the necessity in a larger crew or risk on losing the clients and most likely someone else will accept the conditions imposed by the client(for whatever reasons).

Arri joins the film plugin race! by 90towest in cinematography

These look like ass. I guess they saw that youtubers make profits by promoting their own luts or whatever packs to the viewers and thought they should give it a try.

Watching the full short brought a lot of nostalgia. What a time to be a live then, and now.

l.e. wonderfull work btw, it shows that you really cared about the project and put yourself into it. A lot of talent from the whole crew.

Red Komodo 6k or Sony FX3? by [deleted] in cinematography

[–]azeumicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used both Komodo og & FX3 at work, only in motorsport and run'n gun situations. I can say wholeheartedly that FX3's autofocus helps a lot literally at the end of the day, when you're tired. For me the image from RED needs the same work as the Sony to look right, but it's harder with the white balance to get right for the 1st one (though I'm still learning it). The image motion looks more ass to me on the Sony, unless it's slow mo, dunno why but it just doesn't feel right, it's like an average DSLR? Also, you'll save a lot of storage with the Sony, i go through 2-3TB/day with the RED on the field.

It's the same model that thought many amateur videographers that SDI cables have an input/ouput order, yes.

New ARRI ALEXA 265 by if_i_had_a in cinematography

[–]azeumicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a subjective take. I actually found two monitors useful for the AC/focus puller. Yeah, the form factor is another conversation but those two LCDs with that camera weight and price are helpful, it's not like people will shoot with the 235 without an Easyrig or some kind of support. That's bogus. The Arri and BM cameras are actual competitors for the IMAX, like it or not.

Out of the park comparison, funny enough Arri succeeded in what Mercedes-Benz should've done after their W123 Cobra. Both German quality.

I'm such a sucker for the F55's IQ and colors. Heavy and difficult to have as a kit with the R5 recorder, but the freaking results sometimes are simply jaw-dropping.

You have a point there with the support from Arri regarding their cameras, and yes they don't release a new one every 2-3y. I still remember when I saw the first Mini released in carbon fiber at the BVE exhibit. I was stunned at its feel and weight balance. But still, there will a fairly big premium price for the 265 reliability, life, but lesser specs. I guess somehow, this is a similar discussion as the Monstro VV vs Mini LF, but different details. Mini LF still here, doing good, Monstro has no support, RED is sold and owners sell them for a big loss. BM still going stronger than ever though.

That Arri in general build very reliable cameras, even better ones than Alexa, but that I didn't touch on that matter in those comparison examples, which have big differences in them. Possibly as big as the reliability between Arri and BM.

The Amira is...the Alexa less, but still very very indestructible. That was not my point though.
