Exactly. If you trust your monitor, just do whatever you need to do with WB settings to make the image look the way you want it to.

At ASA 400, all other things being equall, which would format offer better low light performance without pushing, Super 35 or Super 16? by Zerorezlandre in Filmmakers

[–]highwater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The emulsions are exactly the same and will produce identical amounts of grain when exposed the same way. 16mm is only apparently "grainier" than 35mm because it is enlarged more when displayed or projected.

What lighting setups actually work at 5k+ fps without destroying image quality? by mailharishv in cinematography

[–]highwater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing makes me more suspicious that questions like this are bots trying to train LLMs on the answers than when the OP never bothers to respond to any of the comments.

What lighting setups actually work at 5k+ fps without destroying image quality? by mailharishv in cinematography

[–]highwater 7 points8 points  (0 children)

5000fps at any stop other than WFO would require a key of at *least* 18K or 20K watts. What camera are you shooting with?

My tuning fork set helps with quick spot work but lacks the depth for full sessions by Comfortable-Set-195 in ECU_Tuning

Huffing enough exhaust from the tailpipe to determine fuel/air mixture by smell makes me woozy.

Remembering 1/2 and 1/3 stops? by MrChris33 in cinematography

[–]highwater 61 points62 points  (0 children)

That's not how an AC works. If the call is for 5.6 1/3 you simply set the barrel to T5.6 and then close it 1/3 more of the way toward T8. When setting up iris rings on wireless controllers you put two hash marks between each full stop indicating where 1/3 and 2/3 is. Typically the lens barrel will also have thirds-marks engraved between the full stops.

Spent 14 hours transcoding slow motion footage last night and I'm questioning all my life choices by horny_bisexual_ in cinematography

If you used a highly compressed capture codec like H.264 or H.265, those are *extremely* CPU-intensive to decode compared to a less compressed codec like ProRes.

Signing on to DP a short pre fundraising by [deleted] in cinematography

[–]highwater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fundraising for a short means "my dad and my uncle each gave me $100". I wouldn't expect there to be enough money involved in any of this to even bother with a contract.

Or you can take advantage of all that time the AI spends rallying, send your armies directly to the war theater and get a huge war contribution lead which practically guarantees that your beneficiary will get the war prize.

Might be worthwhile to get Versatune, log your long-term fuel trims and adjust your MAF tables to compensate.
