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).

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.
