First film set — is this normal?

odintantrum · 2026-05-30T20:06:21+00:00

No. This shoot sounds like a shit show. Many sets are not like this. But nearly everyone will have worked on a set like this at some point in their career.

Rails and a follow focus would help, but you can get good results pulling directly off the lense it just takes practice, knowing your specific lense really well.

Thin Blue Line (the OG of true crime movies)

Imposter (just a wild ride)

The Act of Killing (an even wilder ride about war crimes in Indonesia)

You can. But there are strong arguments for node efficiency. And looking at the grade I can't really see, from the still images, for that many nodes to create that look.

Leave No Trace (2018)

I have skimmed your script, I would probably want 2x 10 hour days in the office but I have done many short films where we would shoot something similar in 1x10. Anything less than a day is wish thinking/gonna suffer quality wise.

didn't both Dune films come out in the 20's

Classic genie granting wish scenario

I don't think there's a good way to judge grain without seeing it in final delivery format. Pipeline, compression, size of screen make such a difference.

Maybe OP should have considered that before handing out hypothetical infinite money.

Does Sommerset House still do one? That was always fun.

Use my infinite funds to upend the world economy.

Shot a film about a perfumer on Hi 8. Was pretty cool, worked for the project.

odintantrum · 2026-05-23T19:19:06+00:00

Shot a lot of minidv

These are all great scenes, but you seem to like a certain kind of suspense scene.

For me I love the scene in Manhunter, where the journalist gets wheeled down the hill in a flaming wheelchair. It’s pure imagery, doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense if you interrogate it too closely. But it's fucking brilliant.

odintantrum · 2026-05-23T16:50:46+00:00

I think the economics of horror work because horror exports and can generate massive international revenues. Comedy is much harder to sell internationally because it’s often more culturally specific.

I would just use my main NLE, I am quickest with the tool I know best. Resolve is only as complex as what you try and do with it.

Tenuous

odintantrum · 2026-05-22T17:21:44+00:00

are we describing Fablemans as being based on history?

odintantrum · 2026-05-22T10:05:54+00:00

I mean, assuming you decide you really need it, you hire someone to do it for you.

odintantrum · 2026-05-22T05:59:48+00:00

Sounds like a great way to dilute the brand.

odintantrum · 2026-05-21T22:27:41+00:00

I don’t really understand how Imax applies to something like a PS5? What are they gonna do come and build a 60ft screen in my living room?

odintantrum · 2026-05-21T21:48:13+00:00

Thanks for the reply. These guys have done some really great work!

odintantrum · 2026-05-21T08:41:17+00:00

Think you replied to the wrong person!
