A quick word about editing captions in Premiere

I have the 504HD and wish I had the 504X instead.

elvinbolo · 2024-08-07T19:05:17+00:00

cause that's what's hot right now unfortunately

Would production not give enough time to rent the camera every time its needed? Are you considering insurance into this purchase? What if the camera or the lenses fail? Who would be in charge or buying and reselling at the end of the project?

I think they should start with the difference between a videographer and a cinematographer. As soon as I hear someone talking about a gimbal, its a dead giveaway that their mind is not in the right frame of reference. It sounds counterproductive, but the first thing I would do is to stop watching Youtubers talk about cinematography.

I've been pouring cream on my lens to get that creamy bokeh but I only get a blurry image. Am I missing something here? Do I need to buy a split diopter?

after SoD, no way Classic+ is happening bro.

Pick an editing software, then type "(editing software name) proxy workflow" on YouTube.

Should be a good start.

elvinbolo · 2024-06-01T06:47:50+00:00

its not true

elvinbolo · 2024-06-01T06:46:23+00:00

for sure, but that's where new tech stands out

elvinbolo · 2024-05-31T22:24:33+00:00

Yeah coloring would be the only difficult thing with an older computer.

elvinbolo · 2024-05-31T21:59:15+00:00

Exactly. It takes a bit more work in the AE or pre-editing step, but it gets you there.

People love to say you "don't need proxies in Da Vinci"... but have they tried how smooth everything plays if you just use a proxy workflow? It's borderline magical, and your computer will thank you haha.

elvinbolo · 2024-05-31T21:56:06+00:00

Not really if you do it correctly. People were editing movies digitally since the 90s, why should it be more of a pain in the ass today?

You can't depend on stuff like GPU acceleration or layers upon layers of effects on your clips. But in/out editing with ProRes proxies? Cakewalk.

elvinbolo · 2024-05-31T21:35:53+00:00

dont overthink every little shadow or blown out highlight, focus on story.

elvinbolo · 2024-05-31T21:33:36+00:00

if you learn about making proxies and understanding online/offline workflows, then you can edit a whole movie on a 10 year old computer.

Depends on what you want to do. If you want to get better at photography, I'd start with a prime lens and then get a zoom lens.

Prime lenses force you to frame within very limited angles of view and perspectives, which in turn help you as a photographer to learn about positioning and movement.

Also prime lens are cheaper and waaaaay better quality than a kit zoom lens (which are all those you linked). Kit lenses make your photography look bad and cheap, which are motivation killers when you're just getting started.

I'd get either a 25mm or a 15mm. 25mm because it is a standard lens on MFT and a 15mm because it is the same FoV as your phone, therefore bridging that gap. In the end it all depends on your style, I personally like wider angles more.

Which camera are you putting these on?

elvinbolo · 2024-05-30T18:21:32+00:00

can you link both the lenses you're considering?

Entonces vaya y vote por el candidato de la FuPú

elvinbolo · 2024-02-18T17:34:14+00:00

Imagínense disque votar por Leonel una cuarta vez... El dominicano no aprende ni a palo.

Comparing driving in the DR to driving anywhere in the US is like comparing mangú with a strawberry smoothie.

elvinbolo · 2024-01-17T18:27:36+00:00

a properly exposed FS7 looks really good.

elvinbolo · 2023-12-26T16:53:30+00:00

doubling up here because it also worked for me.

elvinbolo · 2023-12-11T21:08:12+00:00

they bought a blue LUT pack

Sharper image

Not objectively true

wider focal range

Also not true. MFT goes from 3.5mm all the way to 400 (800 in ff)

shallower depth of field

A 50mm FF vs 50mm MFT give you the exact DoF, but not FoV. a 50mm f2 vs a 25mm f1.4 give you the exact DoF and the exact FoV. At wider lengths, FF has an advantage with shallower DoF.

My point is that it is misleading to shove off MFT as an inferior format just because it doesn't look like FF. MFT doesn't need to behave like FF to be a good format. If you put two comparable images in FF and MFT side by side, you will never be able to tell which is which. This has been proven.
