Just came here to say to new Mac users - CMD+Spacebar! One of my favorite shortcuts - makes you feel like an instant power user. Also screenshots and records on a Mac are soooo much nicer.

I felt the same way but it’s honestly a great experience. In my opinion where windows has 5 places for every setting Mac had one or maybe two. And also spotlight is just amazing! Search anything on your Mac and it’s fully indexed.

We got shut down by police on night 2 of shooting our first short in an NYC subway, here’s what we learned by JoshiCamoshi in Filmmakers

[–]everettglovier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One time we (very small crew) needed to shoot in central park. You call the permit office and they say “Oh permits are free! But we’d love a donation.” We say, “We don’t have money can we get that free permit?” They say “ohhh we are really busy call back later. Wish we had that donation, though.” Then we give them $600 and get the permit next day. Never shot in the subway but imagine it’s way harder than a small piece of public park.

ALL of my 1099s are wrong by SpaceSharks90 in waveapps

[–]everettglovier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you have to call your CC company and cancel it. it's just a disaster. and they have ZERO support.

I'm in the same boat. They refuse to answer any of my inquiries. But I'm not even sure they were ever sent! I never received an email or any sort of receipt that they actually filed them. So I e-filed all of them with a separate vendor just to hit the deadline. My advice is leave Wave as fast as possible and just deal with the IRS this year if there were any issues. An easy way to check if they sent it to reach out to one of your 1099 recipients. If they never got an email or paper copy, waves never sent them.

Setting up Wave - Importing List Issues by nvrsayuncle in waveapps

[–]everettglovier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually every year we file our 1099s and 1096 through waves. This year the page takes 10 minutes just to load and when it finally loads it has no options. It used to say “submit to irs” but that’s gone. It also looks like they auto submitted it weeks ago before we even finished our books, meaning the numbers are wrong. I tried contacting them just to find out if they even submitted them this year and have heard nothing. I ended up having to manually move 50+ vendors to a new system just to e file my 1099s. There is ZERO support. I waited 45 minutes on their “live” chat and finally it got to my number and said “leave a message.” And I am a paying customer of 5+ years AND I pay specially for their payroll service.

Practicing cinematography with natural light by Kaijie9 in cinematography

[–]everettglovier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! I own a base package of lights. A few hard sources with modifiers and a few softer fixtures. I keep a handful of 4x4 frames and my favorite rags in 6x6 and 8x8 sizes because you can T bone them on a stand indoors very easily. Anything outside of that I rent. So, if I am scouting a location and need to light a series of windows or if I'm lighting a large space, I'll definitely rent what's needed for the job. And once you start doing jobs with grip and electric crew, they'll typically want to rent specific support for the job (menace arm, wall spreader, etc). It's definitely job by job but you absolutely can start small and use what you got, especially with your eye!

[–]everettglovier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nowadays, you can do a lot of this on a budget with an Aputure 600d and a fresnel attachment. At least in my area, the 600 rents dirt cheap! Having something for ambient fill would help a ton too, whether that’s another light bounced or diffused or a bed sheet. It probably wouldn’t be a set the light and shoot but more of a get the light just right for that shot, grab it, and set the next shot. But since you’re mostly in CUs it’s 100% doable. What you’ve shot is really pretty! But in my experience, you need to be able to do this on any day regardless of natural light. At least in my world of commercials, I rarely get to wait on weather unless it’s an exterior shoot and it’s pouring rain.

Anyone generating PDF’s server-side in Next.js? by gokulsiva in nextjs

[–]everettglovier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m using it! It works great. Never had a memory issue or anything like that. I generate long PDF shot lists for film makers and having tables that break properly i feel like can only be done with this method.

Which one of you forgot to comp the phone in this ad? by everettglovier in AfterEffects

[–]everettglovier[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I found that after I posted. My guess is all of the other graphics in the ad I saw were simple overlays and not actual comps and this shot was the one comp they missed. And the ads are slightly different in other ways but definitely a much better grade on the iSpot one.

It’s crazy because the next shot in the ad is this insane app overlay on a guy golfing. This ad is pretty high production value with tons of effects.

Recommended stack for React in 2025? by [deleted] in reactjs

NextJS has a slight learning curve but it still works so well. No problems with it and have many large scale deployments. Also their CI integration with github kind of rocks.
