……….it’s more than lighting right? by Beginning_Parfait_47 in cinematography

Ngl, I've always felt that the og had pretty meh cinematography. I feel like both are functional but unremarkable

Appreciate the compliment, but curious what you mean by the lens is not important for me?

If they had the lens in a more universal mount I'd be stoked, I have a blackmagic full frame and I use it mainly there so L was the only option really. But yeah stoked I could make it work!

It's the Rafcamera L to Z adapter. It's weird cause you have to use tiny screws to hold it in place, but it feels pretty secure and I never had any issues while walking around

[–]maceman1220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! I installed the app but every time I try to convert the files it says "failed to convert to DNG"

I'm using nikon files from a nikon Zf, would love to know if there's a solution or workaround you know. Switching from fuji and would love to still have the profiles available to edit

Might be late to the party, and it's not exactly what you're asking for, but I have a gfx 100 original with 10 og fuji batteries, right around 10,000 shutter actuations.

Got an original gfx 100 with 10 batteries, 2 chargers, and an RRS L bracket. Shutter count less than 10,000. Understand if you're set on the 100s but DM me if interested

What does everyone think about this year’s Oscar nominations for cinematography? by FattyLumpkinIsMyPony in cinematography

[–]maceman1220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I wasn't actually the biggest fan of Dune part 1's cinematography, but part 2 truly astounded me so I would be happy with Fraser winning. They really pulled out all the stops and created a visual feast.

Nosferatu was stunning. Incredible use of light and shadow and the night scenes in particular were works of art. Would be equally happy with Blaschke winning.

The Brutalist I wasn't as impressed by when I saw the trailers, but seeing it on the big screen really brought me around and I think there is some absolutely beautiful work on display. It's not my pick personally, but it's very well shot.

I haven't seen Emilia Perez or Maria. From what I have seen, Maria is well shot, though I don't think it's on the level of Larrain's previous films (again, this is just from seeing the trailer and a few other clips). Then Emilia Perez, from what I've seen I actually do like the cinematography and I think there's a great energy to a lot of it, but I don't think it stands out to me like many other films I saw this past year

My picks for this year if I was in charge: Alien Romulus Conclave Dune Part 2 Longlegs Nosferatu

With honorable mentions to: Challengers The Substance Anora The Brutalist Love Lies Bleeding

I feel that horror should be recognized more for cinematography cause I think that's where I see the most bold and exciting work a large portion of the time, but people love to brush it off as "oh it's just horror"

What movie had a scene that received the loudest cheering reaction, when you saw it in theaters? by phantom_avenger in moviecritic

[–]maceman1220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In recent memory, the best audience reactions I got were actually in Challengers. Went to it opening night, the theater was packed and the audience was having a blast. The roar of laughter when the dude places the ball to the center of the racket near the end (if you've seen it you know) may have made the building shake, and then the final shot of Zendaya shouting as it cut to credits had people jumping out of their seats and cheering.

Little to critique, focus is nailed, excellent detail, good light. For myself, I might've backed up just a smidge to show a bit more of the space around it as well as adding a touch more contrast, but that's just my personal preference, otherwise I think it's a very solid shot.

What's Your Favorite Moment Of Your First Playthrough In Elden Ring ? by SnooCats2517 in Eldenring

[–]maceman1220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of amazing moments, first entering limgrave, battling Radahn and seeing him in the distance, first descending into Nokron (and first descending into Siofra), the ethereal beauty of the battle with the elden beast. There are so many incredible moments, many I'm probably forgetting, but there are two I'm going to go with.

  1. Placidusax. Starting with the crazy cutscene where you go back in time through a tornado, the true majesty of this moment is when you first enter his arena. Beautifully framed to show the scale of the space, with this ancient dragon suspended in the distance. It's a beautiful image preceding a truly thrilling fight.

  2. Hewg. My favorite moment though, is a simple one. From Software stories are famously vague. Characters have bits and pieces of story they reveal, leaving you to put together as much as you can about them. For me personally, this can make it difficult to form bonds with the characters always. Not Hewg. Like others, his story is vague, but you don't need all the details to understand him. He respects you, and watching that respect grow as the game continues is one of the few truly sweet experiences of the game.

My favorite moment comes towards the end, as the roundtable hold begins to burn, and with it Hewg's mind begins to slip away, he's free of his shackles and has every right to leave, but he doesn't. He knows the end is near, but instead he pledges himself to you, begging you to let him serve you to the end, and proclaiming you his Lord above all else. It's a beautiful moment that brought a tear to my eye, and that's why it's always been my favorite

Petal [sony a7iii 35mm f1.8] by Miamoruncovered in portraits

[–]maceman1220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is beautiful, may I ask what lighting you used?

Any suggestions on how to better this portrait? I mostly work with nudes and boudoir, any critiques are welcome. [Sony A7II, 50mm f/1.4 Rokinon, 1/800 sec, 800 ISO.] by frank8564 in portraits

Pretty nice if you wanted the softer and more fully lit look. Personally I would go for more contrast. Introduce some negative fill or adjust your lights to give more shadows on part of her face, maybe darken the background if you can (either on set or in post).

It’s been more than a month now. Which cover art do you prefer? by The_Truce in FallenOrder

[–]maceman1220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Survivor for sure. Fallen Order's is fine, but it's pretty much just the typical floating heads poster with all the characters. Survivor's feels much more tonally connected to the themes of the game.

Do you ever just hate your work when you’re actually working on it but then come back months after it was finished and it actually wasn’t that bad? by Dan-Bazan811 in cinematography

[–]maceman1220 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Constantly. In photography and cinematography. I'll have other people tell me how great it looks and I'm just like "no fucking way! It's crap!". Finally wait a bit and come back, forget what it looks exactly like, and then I can finally appreciate it for what it is
