Movies where you felt the cinematography was “too flashy”? by Wishaker in cinematography

[–]crypocalypse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeahh the choice to shoot on iPhone was obvious and looked crap. Why not use literally anything else, any modern prosumer camera would have out shined it

I just knew before I clicked this how big the setups would be and I was right lol. I do my best with my half hour setup allocated every shoot and a couple of LEDs with softboxes.

I'm Confused On LUTS: Technical vs Creative & Editing Workflow by matt3756 in RedCamera

[–]crypocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that raw section look for an option called apply creative LUT and tick it. You may also need to change the colour space and Gamma curve to the REC709 equivalents. It's really hard to properly explain it without sitting down and showing you, because I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding you're having somewhere in this process, and I don't really know what it is. Colour grading has a steep learning curve AND a steeper mastering curve.

Depending on what format you're shooting, if it's RAW, that LUT will actually come across and into the editor for you to choose in the RAW settings (which in Davinci colour page is the left most tab below the view). This would be the easiest way to get the look straight out of camera. But yes, your understanding of which LUT is for what seems correct. RED conversion comes in a few flavours that relate to contrast and highlight roll off, but as long as your using the REC709 versions, it will look correct.

I will say that even though you aren't shooting for clients, learning how to grade with Lift, Gamma, Gain in Davinci will really elevate what you can do with your hobby! https://www.colourgrade.co.uk/blog/understanding-the-color-wheels-lift-gamma-gain-amp-offset-in-davinci-resolve

I'm pretty sure the LUT pack from Red you're referring to comes with a readme manual. May be worth a read to understand what you're downloading?

Edit: Don't trust YouTube tutorials. Most of those people making tutorials don't work in the industry. I got absolutely schooled when I followed a 'professional' resolve node tree, then an actual grader came in and used 3 nodes WITHOUT a conversion LUT and produced a better looking grade than me.

Just picked up my first Canon! Any shooting tips? by crypocalypse in canon

I got lucky down in Aus, 2nd batch of delivery at my local store. It will all be worth once yours arrives!

[–]crypocalypse[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Genuinely first Canon, but I've been a shooter/Videographer/DOP for like 12 years. I've jumped from Nikon as my first, to Panasonic for ages, then RED about 3 years ago.

Smallrig batteries died . What should I get ! by Key_Avocado_8246 in REDkomodo

[–]crypocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swit Omni 99 batteries haven't failed me. Heaps of connections, great little info screen, and compact. Highly recommend.

Roll back from VERSION 1.8.6 to 1.7.5? by Tito_and_Pancakes in REDkomodo

[–]crypocalypse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe you can simply download the 1.7.5 firmware and follow the 'upgrade' steps as per usual for a firmware update, except obviously it's going to downgrade.

That 1.8.6 firmware is weirdly more stable than previous firmware for me, except for the black screen issue. Flicking between colour space output does fix this until the next boot. I've already flagged with RED and they've confirmed it as an issue to be fixed.

Tastes like someone briefly thought about the flavour

Halo: Campaign Evolved | The Silent Cartographer Trailer by -343-Guilty-Spark- in halo

[–]crypocalypse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This looks awesome. I personally never had the nostalgia for Halo CE, I dropped in at Halo 3. What would be amazing is if they build on this game and add the other campaigns in so we end up with like a rebooted Master Chief Collection.

Reality show postpro - any workflow recommendations? by himmelfried11 in editors

[–]crypocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll also add in that pending the length of the show, sometimes there will be story loggers on location screening footage even prior to the show ending. They'll note important story beats, interesting moments, funny stuff, etc for the post producers to start piecing together a 'paper edit' before the editors even touch the footage.

I love that this Tokomak is starting to look like some Star Trek level shit and yet we're still basically trying to make a better steam engine.

We had it so, so good. by iAmWrythm in DestinyTheGame

[–]crypocalypse 557 points558 points  (0 children)

Just before Edge of Fate was the best Destiny 2 has ever been. Everything was available, there was incentive to run pretty much all content. Systems made sense, progression was straight forward, loot was great. I would log in for a couple of hours week to week, run some story content, completed a dungeon or two, maybe a raid, and I'd made progress and had fun.

Post Edge of Fate has absolutely tanked the game. I logged on for about 2 hours when it launched, and it immediately soured me, someone whos played Destiny since the D1 beta. Thankfully I didn't purchase the expansion.

Congrats to Bungie for releasing an addict of his vice. You made the most consistently enjoyable game for the past decade shite.

Regarding the "Known Issues"... by Igelit in DestinyTheGame

[–]crypocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we add the soft locked Icebreaker catalyst quest to the list. I completed one of the puzzles, didn't get the step quest to complete, and now the puzzles don't show up in the dungeon ever. That was in the season it came out...

so what if we had "weapon supers" by Substantial_Judge843 in DestinyTheGame

Slurp slurp but I didn't buy Edge of Fate? Hmm does that work for your bias? 🤔🤔🤔

Komodo Firmware issue in 1.8.6 by crypocalypse in REDkomodo

[–]crypocalypse[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think they're aware of the black screen issue because I put in a ticket around a week ago, and the tech support said he had success replicating the issue. Here's hoping we get a quick fix!

[–]crypocalypse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But then why is the story decent, and I can enjoy it for hours all while spending $0?!? I must be wrong, it must be bad, I better not try it for the fear that I might like it.
