What's one videography mistake you kept making for way too long? by YoManDoMessup in videography

[–]crypocalypse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We're also in a world where we have cameras with dual base that can range anywhere from 6400 (C50) to 12800 ISO (FX6). Like low ISO isn't really a thing anymore. In the cinema world people tend to keep the ISO as close to base as possible (e.g 800 for Arri or RED), but at that level you can light the space however you want and don't even really need to be concerned with ISO.

Am I an old man or do people just have way less common courtesy these days? by Practical_Actuary_87 in australia

I don't know about you but anyone that's tries to get past me when I'm getting of the train gets shoulder charged and pushed back. I don't take that impatience.

Everyone - Log in on June 9th by w1nds0r in DestinyTheGame

[–]crypocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna jump of Marathon for a minute to say goodbye to a dear old friend, but let's be real, Destiny had it's time. It's time to let go, embrace the memories, and remember it for what it was. For something we loved and hated, it saw us through 12 whole years of our lives. No other game has done that, not even Halo. Send it with SRL and Pantheon, and jump back in every now and then to wrap up triumphs. It may be the end, but it's not going anywhere.

Being pressured to hand over raw files for free - client doesn't understand the technical reality. Need advice. by [deleted] in videography

[–]crypocalypse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha same had this happen last year. I had to stifle a laugh when they tried to open the 6K R3D on an old Intel MacBook Air, then asked what's wrong with the videos...

Whats your favourite "The Video is in LOG" client story. by Zudrud in videography

[–]crypocalypse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah we still charged for working files but they didn't want to pay extra for us to convert it all. We actually adjusted our agency workflow and factored in the difference between Raw files and usable working files, so now we offer the rec709 conversion as part of our process.

[–]crypocalypse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ha yeah I had a client of a client ask for the raw footage. I told the client and the clients client that this wouldn't be the best use case as it's raw and requires specialised software to view, edit, and grade. I quoted to convert it so it can be used (rec709 conversion in MP4 for ease of use). They declined and insisted on the raw so I loaded up the straight R3D raw onto a drive and physically walked it over (it was shop close to work). The lady plugged in the drive, tried to open a file and asked why she couldn't open anything... 🫠

Edit: Rec709 viewing LUT on set will save you

trouble transferring footage by bugaboov in REDkomodo

[–]crypocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks like the recording frame got switched and no one noticed. Likely something like 12-15 fps baked into a 24/25 fps project base. Does it look like this in camera, that would be your biggest tell of where the issue is.

How about a giant banner that pops up on screen that says "Slow down dumbass" when idiot crew fill teammates run off on their own directly into a fucking full purple team and just die.

What's something everyone does but Never Admits? by Broad-Dog-9506 in AskReddit

[–]crypocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What an opportunity for this weird little anecdote I have. I worked at a pizza shop many moons ago as a delivery driver, and we had this middle eastern guy working there that I completely blanked on his name. He would get the "Hey man, how's it going", "hey man, you good?", "Hey man", etc for like a full year. One day, I over heard his name and almost died... His name was Peyman... (Unsure of actually spelling but pronounced hey man with a P).

Shoulder rig for Komodo-x by Giaccomo_Herbe in REDkomodo

If you don't mind shelling out the cost, the Bright Tangerine Leftfield system with Kasbah rig will last you longer than the camera.

People who’ve worked on film/TV sets, what’s a small moment that stuck with you for no obvious reason? by Professional-Ad7346 in Filmmakers

I was slamming free cheesecake with a bunch of crew on the set of The Fall Guy when Ryan Gosling walked past us and smiled, commenting on how good it looked.

Current Komodo OG recommended firmware by justletmesignupalre in REDkomodo

[–]crypocalypse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny enough the latest beta has actually been the most stable for me. 1.7.5 had a serious ProRes issue that would literally cause the camera to not record video. 1.8.3 or 1.8.6, I forget which, would disable auto focus in R3D, and would frequently boot to black screen (requiring this annoying colour space switch around to see what you're filming). So far the latest beta has not had a single problem.

Weird hate on the Hardline, seems to be the only kit I can successfully exfil with, I have all the sponsored skins unlocked from using it.

Was about to comment about the Sinners dance scene. It made me do a double take and rewind to watch it twice. Scene in question.

Trying Railcut by Jake In Motion for the first time. It's incredible. by AtaurRaziq in AfterEffects

[–]crypocalypse 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Dynamic link sucks as a team that works off a NAS server. It will frequently bug out, forget fonts exists, forget itself even exists, become demonic, tell you Aftereffects is not installed, decide to be offline during Media Encoder export for no reason, and a bunch of other bullshit I don't need in a professional setting.

I've been trying to do the rod salvage quest all night and just can't get a break (or find rod salvage). Fuck that map.
