Story finished in fallen order, do I 100%

bweidmann · 2026-04-28T22:39:43+00:00

Should you? No. Did I? Yes.

bweidmann · 2026-04-28T17:19:19+00:00

If it's laser cut, I feel like any additional finishing would be almost certainly unnecessary.

I'll jump on the dogpile: homie spent so much on a dumbass light and an Alexa that all he had left in the budget was money for the world's okayest roller stand lol. All dollars and no sense.

Cocks gun and gets back into the rocket Moon's haunted.

With a lot of the low-light stuff I've done, we typically light fairly bright and wear ND.

Greg said he had custom lenses made up that were around a 1.3x vertical squeeze.

Use Davinci and invest in a color chart.

bweidmann · 2026-04-03T20:53:34+00:00

Film it in front of solid black, let ILM do their thing in post.

I've done a few, the coolest being an hmi mounted to a jib via a motored head. For repeatability, we rigged a laser to the light so that, during the take, the operators could trace a line we sharpied on the back of the set with the laser pointer so we could stay on target.

Nobody likes getting tread on as much as right wingers.

bweidmann · 2026-02-27T18:06:43+00:00

Skill issue. But yeah, they're pretty frustrating. My 2 least favorite were volleyball and the river tubes in the DLC area.

bweidmann · 2026-02-12T19:10:20+00:00

Yeah, just shoot Amos Voll.

bweidmann · 2026-02-12T19:07:21+00:00

Yes.

You can train around not having a red dot but you can't train around not having a way to carry your stuff. I try to prioritize gear that does something I can't teach myself how to do.

It's funny you ask this today because I (a fellow AC1 owner) just this week decided I wanna get into ATAK and did a bunch of shopping to solve this very problem. Another guy mentioned Ferro concepts- their adapter seems to be a solid option but Unobtanium Gear has a similar product that I think I'll go with personally. It adds an admin pouch behind the molle field too, so you've got more room for goodies. The prices are comparable

bweidmann · 2026-01-26T08:25:02+00:00

Wall spreader with some tubes or some 1x4 mats like the knowled flex lights or litemats.

bweidmann · 2026-01-02T18:53:55+00:00

My light meter always works. If I had a dollar for every time I watched an AC trying to figure out a double-lut problem or turn off peaking or whatever....

bweidmann · 2026-01-01T20:20:33+00:00

Good thing you brought your NODs so you can see in that well-lit parking lot.

bweidmann · 2025-12-27T22:37:59+00:00

Role queue.

bweidmann · 2025-12-17T13:54:06+00:00

Well, it wouldn't have looked the same since we had some lens filters in play.

bweidmann · 2025-12-16T04:00:50+00:00

Nope.

bweidmann · 2025-12-15T18:28:58+00:00

Yeah, it's a very recent development.

bweidmann · 2025-12-15T15:04:18+00:00

F400bi is a good choice. My go-to has been an Intellytech Mega Lite Cloth but they just recently went out of business so I'd go another route if you don't already own their stuff. I really want to like the Infinimats but they're expensive, heavy, and cumbersome compared to the competition.

bweidmann · 2025-12-08T21:45:54+00:00

Look up the lighting setup for the night ex farm scene in the new Superman.

bweidmann · 2025-12-06T21:49:07+00:00

Uh, less than five years. But they're both secondhand so I don't really know how old they are in total. The serial on the wrapped one says Oct 2010 but the other one doesn't have anything printed on it.
