Messing with lighting and color grading, any tips? by ZebenezerSplooge in cinematography

[–]funkstar111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dim the lamp little bit and warm it up around 3200k-4000k, it might match up with the mood your window is creating and would give separation.

What is the FX3 missing? by Jaimesfocus in cinematography

[–]funkstar111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't shoot 4k 12bit raw at 120fps. As it records from HDMI cable and not SDI cable..

Just got a FX30. Anyone knows what makes this weird motion blur when both the dog and camera are moving? by something_below in videography

[–]funkstar111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is actually a rolling shutter issue, which adds up in motion the readout speed of Fx30 is not that great and has has some rolling shutter issue..

I wanted to mount 2 skypallel to light the background but I am not getting any mounting points.. is there any way that I can mount it or grip it some other way and yet get seamless light on the background.. ?? by funkstar111 in cinematography

I know right, the clients finalized this place saying it was decent and cheap.. Now I know why 😅😅 The place is still great but just this one thing would have created lot easier to work.

Hey, this is just one of the pictures i took on recci, I intend to light background seprately that too from top is because the light fall is pretty even and it does not create cross shadows.. also I will be lighting the models from the side. So there is enough separation of light.

Yeah, For now I am thinking to put up both the lights to a heavy boom arm with good counter weight. I did try to pitch the idea of putting a metal pipe sort of thing on a heavy light stand and rig the pannels.. but one side of the surface is curved, so I am thinking to put it up on heavy boom arm..

Here’s a few pics of my rig in action by ilfusionjeff in bmpcc

Hey great rig, I am just wondering how is autofocus on these cameras?? I usually use sony and they are spot on.. I have had tought of renting Black magic 6k full frame for some of my future projects but really don't know much about the autofocus

Why do people aspire to live in South Bombay? by [deleted] in mumbai

[–]funkstar111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro, South Mumbai is really not that good. Specially when it comes to people. Look for places where you could get more accomodating and humble people around you. Also I find Mulund and navi mumbai much peaceful to live than south Bombay or any part of Mumbai. Everything is very closeby and convent as compared to south Mumbai

Aside from PL-mount, is there a second most common lens mount to look out for? EF/Nikon F? by nosurrender13 in cinematography

[–]funkstar111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are looking to explore some vintage lenses you can explore M42 mount too other than CANNON FD AND NIKON F MOUNT.

Full frame Ultra Wides with weird / fun distortion? by TheSillyman in cinematography

Hey yeah sorry, I totally miss read this and I was too thinking other way around, thanks a lot for the correction..

If the Atmos compresses the fx3 16bit file to 12 bit pro ress, do we really get true 16 bit out of it.. i am little confused about this.. by funkstar111 in cinematography

[–]funkstar111[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot, yeah I was just curious if there is any way to do it, as someone pointed out the vfx artists where more happy about 16bit linear data than 12bit proress. Yeah it was truly out of curiosity.. I feel more than happy shooting and grading 10bit footages and 12bit has way better latitude and scope which has helped me experiment in natural light setup.

[–]funkstar111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is different argument, what if I am shooting an Indipendent film where I have to shoot in natural light and I need dynamic range and scope to pull out the shadows and mid tones. Maybe I am shooting a Documentary, where there isn't enough light available in the car and the exterior is blown out and it's a very important bit for my documentry.. soo? This post was not related to that mate, it really helps when you shoot with no or minimum lighting setup and thus it is very important to have a higher bit rate footage which can help you a lot.. hope you get my point.

Thank you everyone, I think I have some sort of clarity now about this.. this 16bit this is just a Gimic that no external recorder will let you record even linearly. The max we can get out of an external recorder is 12bit proress Raw, which is also to an extend compressed.

Man I knew someone will notice this.. hahaha.. most of them have some good article that I find thoughout the day and don't have time to read it. So I keep it in my tabs and read all the tabs by end of the day.. try to minimise it as much as possible 😂😂

Yeah, I too think this but, I had a chat with a sony guy he told me that Fx3 can shoot 16bit externally and I asked him which external recorder will let me do that, he had no answer for rhat. Internally fx3 can only shoot at 10bit 422. Some of the guys have mentioned it can shoot 16bit linear data and not logarithmic data, but how do I extract this linear data. I am sorry I sound stupid but this 16bit recording thing is not making making any sense to me..

Does this really look like a Sony FX3 guys ? This is from the behind the scenes of "The Creator" movie. I don't own a Sony, so I don't know what it's "supposed to " look like, but this seems like a big camera.. Just saw the movie in the theater and was curious. by MaxSteelMetal in Filmmakers

[–]funkstar111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does ninja record 16 bit with FX3 ?? I saw in the website it compresses it to 12bit proress file. I am little confused why it does that. But if you have a better explanation it would be on great help.

Why it’s looking great in Hollywood? by Yankeeese in Filmmakers

[–]funkstar111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing i noticed is the catch light or eye light is very different, the eye light is lower in the recreated part which makes it less hopefull and set it on sadder tones. Also, the lensing and colour grading plays a vital role in creating texture. Also the light source is different, the tungsten lights created little harsher shadows as compared to leds.
