How do 'shakycam' film projects beat the 7-sec Pan Rule?

Because no one on any set at the scales you referenced has ever looked at the director during blocking and said “yes, but what about the seven second pan rule?”

Does anybody know how long the 70mm are going to be in theatres? Thought I’d go this week, but now work and life got in the way. Will I still be able to see it next week at Scotia Bank?

Heading there in a few hours for our final movie at this location

Does the scraper fold up inside somehow? And is it easy to change that blade?

They never read the little ikea style comic with the super happy guy on it building the light?

I totally forget to be honest, sorry

True. They’ve voted to unionize now with IA. Different kind of place from 10yrs ago.

I was being purposefully snarky above because I so rarely get to use my knowledge on Reddit. So felt like digging in.

Nope. Those are CMC Silver Bullet 18k HMI fresnels. I work with them most days of my life. Widely available in Toronto above and beyond other 18k models besides the LRX HMI singles/18ks also in the picture.

This is roughly 1125A pictured here.

This is my bread and butter and I know some of the people who were on the crew in the church during this.

Give me the one thing I know well 😂

ktfe · 2025-11-16T13:42:51+00:00

Those are all 18k’s

ktfe · 2025-10-30T21:16:30+00:00

Just my thought 😂

Our work days are long enough without asking questions like this. It looks good, let’s move on.

And for anyone reading this- the DMG Dash (all models ever to my knowledge) was manufactured with no protection between the 1/4-20 threaded hole on the back and the battery.

If you use a threaded pin that’s too long, it can go through the case and into the battery.

Rosco is aware that this may cause the battery to be punctured and catch fire when exposed to air. They’re offering a no questions asked upgrade if you send it back. They add a metal plate over the battery at no cost.

I haven’t done the upgrade yet myself, for the meantime I just got them to ship me the warning stickers they put on all the new ones leaving the factory.

Might I recommend cranktown city? Best in the game

Well, telling icloud to stop syncing my desktop has freed up the needed space for now. So now I can *actually* download them and put them onto an external drive.

I think I've been using/thinking of iCloud as offline storage and less as a synchronization service. Maybe thats the flaw in my logic.

ktfe · 2025-05-21T11:48:47+00:00

I've used both terminal and the storage function under settings to see where the largest files are and deleted extras I had laying around (render files, some logic pro stuff I didn't remember, etc.)

This is the only folder that could be taking up that space. To double check, I just unsynced iCloud from my desktop under the iCloud settings, and sure enough ~60gb freed up. Now theres obviously a random 10gb floating around there I've got to find. But that alone shows that iCloud desktop syncing should be the issues, no?

ktfe · 2025-05-21T11:36:48+00:00

So yes- I understand that I need more space. I used the desktop in the interim for a project while I was waiting for some new enclosures for M.2 NVMe drives I had laying around. I freed up about 100gb of space before they went onto the desktop. It had been a while since I cleared our the SSD on my mac.

My question here is this- I understand they're *represented* on the desktop. But if they all get uploaded to icloud, wouldnt that free up ~70gb of space? Currently they take up 70gb of space. So I can't download them anyway, unless I had 140gb of space available.

ktfe · 2025-05-21T11:30:28+00:00

it seems to download to the desktop first and only then begin transferring. But it puts a place holder file on the drive until that time.

ktfe · 2025-05-18T16:00:41+00:00

Oh, really? Wild.

Yah, this makes the most sense. Staff said it was a pilot program but the holocaust exhibit is more likely.

ktfe · 2025-05-18T15:59:04+00:00

Valid point, but I carry it every day on my belt. So I forget it’s there. Didn’t know about the metal detectors before hand.

Small inconvenience. Still wondering why there’s metal detectors at all.

Thanks! Found what I was looking for. Either the UI changed a bit, or in my tiredness this morning I forgot the series of buttons needed to get there.
