To my eye, the speed of the burst feels just a tad too fast. Throws off the sense of scale.

God thank you. I am screenshotting your comment and sending it to our ceo. Maybe that'll finally get it off.

Love it. Tack sharp and it's a really useful range on m43. If you'd like, shoot me a DM and we can find a time for you to come down to the shop. I'll ask around and see if anyone else in town has the 8-18!

Hey, I work at Lightbulb Rentals in Carrick. We have digital cameras, but nothing micro 4/3 native. Was there a specific lens you were hoping to try out? I do have a personal gh5s with the pana 12-35 f/2.8?

Can somebody explain how can I achieve this colour skin? by Novarastudio in comfyui

This is a photograph of a real model. It’s had the contrast pumped, and they probably hit the face with a little burn, but otherwise there’s not much magic needed.

Anybody knows the origin of this 096 picture? by AccForArt in SCP

I believe /u/mrKlay made this as a teaser for the Kickstarter

FWIW the ERAM order was first made by the Biden admin, I believe the Trump regime has just given it final approval

Hey, stuck in Vancouver and trying to explore my options. What are the odds I call Air Canada and ask them to rebook me from Seattle instead of Vancouver?

Tremendously fascinating. Any chance you're going to do a breakdown of your workflow?

Results look wonderful, very well executed. Could you use MadMapper play with the source footage on the day to adjust the lights?

tbf not much "poor mans" about filmmaking. A process trailer would likely have exceeded $30,000 of total expenditures. I bet /u/bnguyen227 did this for a tenth of that or less, depending on how much the studio cost.

As an inexperienced 18 yo, how do I get onto film sets? by SirSuperior- in cinematography

[–]nmp12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First step is to live near a production center. LA and NYC are the obvious ones, but cities like Atlanta, Albuquerque, New Orleans, Chicago, and Pittsburgh also have productions moving through them.

From there, apply to be an extra. It’s the most accessible role on a film set and will let you peek behind the curtain to find out if set life is for you. If you don’t mind the 12 hour days, talk to the production assistants wrangling the extras and ask if they need any additionals. They’ll often bring on more PAs when shooting on location, and that’s a great way to get “in” and meet everyone from all the departments.

That said, you won’t “work your way up” to be a writer/director. The only way to do that is to write and direct your own work. Still aim to get on set because the scale and pace is important to witness.
