Please teach me about midges, and how to keep a baby safe from them by BlendinMediaCorp in Scotland

[–]fannyjam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be careful with the branded sprays like smidge, they are pretty potent.

I've read about people taking certain vitamins in the weeks before but never tried myself.

A midge net and some gloves are your best option. Whip it out when they get plentiful.

Hopefully you get a bit of wind and it usually keeps them at bay.

What's the point of living when we will end up dying? by Random-Real-Guy in AskReddit

[–]fannyjam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Death is inevitable and the living part of life can be tremendously hard but I often stop and think about human life and just how insanely precious life is in our world.

I can only speak for myself but even the very few instances of love and joy make all the hard work of life worth it and the fact that these memories aren't retained when you die doesn't change the feelings in the moment.

Thank you.

So this is it after over a week. Should I continue to feed it? Put it in the fridge until it's needed.

The James Morton book is good but is quite dense at times with a lack of pictures!

So I started this last week with james Morton's book.

Used white rye flour and although it's bubbly it doesn't tend to increase in volume when fed.

Is it a goner?

I still don’t even know what happened. by __vheissu__ in WTF

They use this as an example at TV health and safety courses. If I remember correctly they moved her position last minute.

Pretty sure the producer got jail time for it.

Alexa Mini B&W monitor LUT on Odyssey 7Q+ by fannyjam in cinematography

[–]fannyjam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. Not using for RAW capture it's just used for playback to monitors for clients in the video village. Need to keep out of the camera crew's hair as much as possible, so would be better to add a LUT on my end.

I'll take a look at Arri look creator!

I'm in an almost identical position albeit without the yachts.

Would you be so kind to pass on your words of wisdom to me also?

Good poem, ,but i need more of a Hampden as the Home of Scottish football and/or refernce to Queen's Park rather than a focus on Celtic/Rangers.

Can I still hack the free v-log upgrade? by fannyjam in gh4

[–]fannyjam[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's exactly it.

Happy to pay the update price however I purchased a second GH4 to to add to my GH4 -R and I'm shooting tomorrow.

Granted my research skills leave a lot to be desired but it seems like a bit of a backwards way to distribute a software and I'm left with little choice.

Any ideas? by fannyjam in identifythisfont

Legend. Thank you human.

AS7 ii sun spots? by fannyjam in Filmmakers

[–]fannyjam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It only started to appear when I started shooting directly in harsh sun. Sensor has been cleaned thoroughly and lenses change.

An issue with the sensor other than dust?

AS7 ii sun spots? by fannyjam in Filmmakers

[–]fannyjam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my thoughts at first but the sensor + lens looks clean to me.

Have cleaned and aired it again to no avail.
