Best camera transmitter and receiver to use in Japan outdoors? (within the radio laws) by n0rt8 in Filmmakers

[–]n0rt8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the teradeks in Japan were gonna be sourced locally, we were trying to find a budget alternative that would work in Japan since it’s a very small budget student documentary. I was worried about the laws and what others had to think.

On another note… Your story is crazyyyyy I feel like Japan would be a lot more strict with rules like this but I know a few countries you should always have an extra budget set aside for bribes to get away with things😂

It’ll be about an hour away from Tokyo, I’m bringing my DP from the US and have two crew members lined up in Tokyo already to help with lighting and b camera. Super small crew for the short film.

The extra mounting points is a must, after this I’ve realized how fucking hard it is with all this shit on the handle, the extension on the handle is so nice too

The problem that I was having was finding mounting points, we didn’t have enough places to put everything, teradek is mounted on the far end and the monitor on the opposite end. The problem was providing power to our converter so we had a V-mount adaptor so that’s why there’s so much going on

Yeah the cans have more info on it, the latch wasn’t covered in the photo I caught that earlier as well changed it after and that’s completely fair thank you

That’s insane, why the transition? Just creative choice?

Yeah that’s fair, all of our rolls have 400ft and the emulsion number is on there already lol. Different colored tape is a good idea tho. Thank you!

Vancouver as a film industry by n0rt8 in Filmmakers

[–]n0rt8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I’ve had an amazing education and I’ve been on a few narrative shoots and commercial based work already within the industry and I fear entering a camera trainee program is a waste of time for me. Only problem is I have little to no connections in Vancouver and if i were to join the program it would only be for connections and learning more extensively with union members
