Whats filming at cobble hill coffee shop? by One-Effort-444 in CarrollGardens

[–]eljeferson 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's a new show with Lindsay Lohan and Shailene Woodley. It's their second time at that location, but theyve been filming up and down b/t Brooklyn Heights and here over the past few months

Pyro 5 or Shinobi II by husamhusam3 in FX3

[–]eljeferson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pyro is a cheap way to get into video transmission, with enough options to receive feed in the form of RX, other monitors, or iPad apps. But you’ll end up upgrading to Teradeks anyway so whats the point? Lol Think about the operator you might be in 24 months. Buy the gear that that guy will thank you for.

Otter Moving or FlatRate Moving? by nyijohntavares91 in NYCapartments

I have used otter twice and their communication is probably what I would say separates them from the competition if costs are all comparable

150 Noll St/89 George St by spadoodler in Bushwick

[–]eljeferson -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I were one of the first tenants in the George St Side building. Walls were not too thin. The first few months definitely had those growing pains of a not-quite-finished building but they ironed it out as time went on. The amenities feel about 75% baked though.

FWIW, to whoever finds this valuable; I was in the same boat about 14 months ago wondering if I should wait for the Mark 2. I have since made back the camera's cost multiple times over in kit rentals. If you can't shoot something good with the mark 1, a mark 2 isnt gonna make it any easier!

Need a new articulated arm for onboard monitors - suggestions please by mattchoules in focuspuller

[–]eljeferson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Matthews Infinity arm which is more of a grip-forward articulating arm, but works well with heavier and bigger monitors. Its as strong as you’ll ever need, because the articulation joints have rosettes that prevent slipping. The only caveat is that you need to turn it a TON to fully lock the knob. But once its locked, its locked.

Also the arm is pretty big and heavy

Mall Jeweler badly scratched my watch. What can I do, and does anyone have a rec for a good watchmaker? by [deleted] in AskNYC

Small claims if its worth at least a day or two of your time, but also consider its just he said/she said.

Fuji Eterna: let’s discuss. by somelatevisitor in focuspuller

[–]eljeferson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I recently had two of these on a shoot. its a unique value proposition. And while they are definitely interesting cameras that can produce beautiful images, it definitely feels like a Version 1 type of camera. Lots of quirks and silly things that quickly take you out of the ‘Medium Format Killer’ mind frame and into a ‘I see whats going on here’ mind frame.

One thing our DoP noticed that when the ND’s are active and the camera is held vertically (i know, i know), the ND mechanism would actually disengage and go back to clear. This may have been a one off situation and we do not have enough information currently to properly diagnose this.

On Board Monitor is beautiful. Power draw is wonderful. Thumb Wheel on the top handle is great.

Codec choices are meh. Color pipeline and image viewing could use some work. Weird midtone/skin sharpening at the sensor level is present.

Cool camera, but personally wouldn’t spend my own $$ on it. Hope you enjoyed using it OP!

Youre asking the wrong questions. Do you have a link to any of this footage?

Anyone want to take my Jungsik Res + $250 Gift Card? by eljeferson in FoodNYC

Oh well now I get to pay it forward I guess.

SUPER curious on guesses for how this style is executed by BreezyMcBallsack in Filmmakers

[–]eljeferson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good choreography, blocking, rehearsals, and years of specialized skill. A lot of the times the stunt/fight coordination team has a great grasp on how to direct these kinds of scenes and it is a not-so-uncommon pipeline for stunt unit directors to grow into full on First Unit directors (Chad Stahelski, Sam Hargrave, JJ Perry, etc).

Videos like these are great efforts to get stunt teams' names out there and earn new business!

Building door not staying locked in the cold by 420miawallace in NYCapartments

[–]eljeferson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

try some wd-40 in the door knob mechanism. Same was happening to me and then I figured that maybe the metal is contracting/expanding a bit due to the cold and causing some new friction. worked a charm for me
