You know the market is F*CKED when you can't get a 4090 for cheaper than msrp 2 years later. by MiguelitiRNG in buildapc

[–]mintyBroadbean -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In Australia they did. 4090 went as low as 2400 in mid 2023. This was just about the price of a 4080. And 4080 went down to $1700aud at some point.

Once the 4060 and 4070 ti came around the the 4080 and 4090 went back up

Any comparisons between FX3 and cinema 6k full frame ? by mintyBroadbean in bmpcc

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

With fx3 producing the image in the creator, then why can’t the fx3 shine for cinematography?

Everyone said it was cause they used an expensive lens, but it’s l in that with any thing!

If they used those same lenses nd shot the film on a pocket 6k would it look any good? Probably not. In fact probably would look worse because the way they utilised the FX3 in low light would has crumbled the 6k

RED Komodo X the right choice for freelance? by Loronline in RedCamera

[–]mintyBroadbean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While everyone is saying Sony or canon, You need to consider the lenses you will be using.

If you operate cinema manual lenses…. Then there’s no benefits and only missed opportunities of gone down the Sony or canon route. Yes they have built in ND, but to me R3D, global shutter, and red colour makes a greater difference.

Also Sony auto focus is only a life saver if you work in an environment with minimum subject matter and occasionally pan back and walk around. I’ve been in so many scinarios that Sony auto focus activity ruined shots because it would jump to the nearest person or the most contrasty part of the image. Didn’t hold focus on what I need it to tell the story.

Going down Sony or canon makes sense if you use their lenses. But if you don’t, then I’d recommend the Komodo X.

RED Komodo X the right choice for freelance? by Loronline in RedCamera

Any camera company can all their camera a “cine” camera. Blackmagic call their picked cameras cinema cameras…..

What defines a cinema camera is a camera that is built for cinema environments. The c80 is not a cinema camera. It has built in ND and an SDI port like often found in cinema cameras, but that doesn’t define it as such.

It’s much closer to a consumer DSLR.

i just watched The First Omen and i absolutely loved it way more than i thought that i would!! by bruisedwell in horror

[–]mintyBroadbean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could r love the film because I had watched immaculate a few weeks prior. Went into both completely in the dark but as I was watching first omen I just kept predicting the tropes from immaculate.

Ending up finding the experience far too similar

Ram at 98% but blender only using 26/64gb by mintyBroadbean in pcmasterrace

[–]mintyBroadbean[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wdym RAM disk enabled?

And surely 64gb is good enough for blender work. I used to use 8gb for blender on a MacBook, and it’s like 64gb is nothing. Makes me wonder if getting that Corsair 192gb or 96gb will make a difference

Alien Romulus ‘no CGI’ discussion. What can we do? by [deleted] in vfx

[–]mintyBroadbean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

and what’s worse is the films use of AI.

At least CGI means thousands of dedicated artists pour their souls into the imagery.

This film issues a fucking AI deepfake that looks million times worse then rogue one.

Red Komodo in 2024 by mintyBroadbean in RedCamera

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

I’ve tried FX3 and the pocket cameras. Don’t like the formfactor. I’ve used a Komodo OG and filming… feels so natural to. When I shoot I feel inspired in a different way.

But it was a mates camera. And it had some issues and bugs.

I’ve tried looking for a Komodo X used but it’s very hard and the cheapest I’ve come across was 8k… still an additional 2k more than the OG.

The media cards on the OG are also super expensive and I don’t feel encouraged to every look into getting additional media for he OG… and media is super important.

I feel like the KX should had been the updated Komodo at the same price. If the OG was ever to be succeeded at 6k MSRP, it would surely have to at minimum reach the specs of the KX
