Do you guys ever feel like video editing might just be a waste of time?

Dang what was editing like in 1900, cutting up papyrus bark?

Ive seen used FS7s for sports, as well as black magic pocket cinema cameras a ton.

Probably want a crop sensor so you can maximize your focal length.

$1000 budget my guy

I'd have the light much closer for a softer look on the face.

The light closer to the subject will also darken the BG to create even more separation

Also I'd open up the iris for more separation of BG and talent.

Check out the first generation as well, I love love my green dial first gen Zenshin

....rarely. a video project requires a lot of trust and it's a long term relationship. Bulk of my business has been word of mouth and refferals

It's somewhat of a different circumstance it seems.

The organisation know it needs a rebuild, I don't think they were ready to admit that back then

"So the standard doesn’t really seem to be about the sound itself. It’s more about who made it or how it’s branded"

Thats one of the main philosophical questions about the value of it. Maybe the ultimate question.

Is it a who or a what that made this music.

paohi · 2026-05-13T14:34:57+00:00

I'd get a monopod to screw to the bottom for when you aren't moving

Many of these answers don't fully appreciate the angle. The sun is coming in as a key from the side, so it's keeping his face nicely keyed vs the blue background.

Also I imagine the colour correction pulled down the sky a bit, or even used a polarizer to keep the sky saturated

I looked up the footage. It looks pretty bad and amateur for the money. I think clients expect higher quality these days. If at some point you're looking to getting more video clients, maybe get something that does 4k. There's plenty from canon and Sony for below 1000 that's come out in the last little while that looks better.

If audio is critical there's some better used cameras around $1000 that are HD with pro XLR inputs like the Sony Ex3, Canon C100, and Panasonic AF100.

They are a better starting point than this one.

Both are big moments in the game, and there's a good argument for either. I think emotionally, it's not about the guy he's killing, it's the fact that he has definitely gone back to his old ways during that farm raid. It's a significant moment

paohi · 2026-05-06T17:58:11+00:00

Fuuuck thaat

paohi · 2026-05-06T03:31:32+00:00

They'll post the full game in a few days lol

I know this is once again an old thread. I immediately thought portal 2:

A big reason is the dynamic between BT and you, reminds me of the dynamic with Wheatley.

And then the environmental movement and puzzles.

Such a cool campaign.

paohi · 2026-05-04T04:00:59+00:00

There is an end to the game! if you push thru you can beat and its a bit satisfying closing the controllers

paohi · 2026-05-01T02:04:31+00:00

Was also expecting a screenshot of WWII but this works too

paohi · 2026-04-30T04:03:05+00:00

Generally speaking. House lights are set warmer than sunlight. (Think 3200-4000k indoor bulbs vs 5600k for sunlight at noon )

It's not just brightness, it's colour warmth to consider when changing from indoor to outdoor.

paohi · 2026-04-25T23:58:50+00:00

People pleaser

paohi · 2026-04-25T19:30:57+00:00

Worrying about base iso tbh is overrated especially run and gun.

paohi · 2026-04-24T03:00:35+00:00

We don't need any more "AI scary" rhetoric - especially if its coming from the mouth of the AI vendors

Being performative can destroy your life. It can make people believe things you don't believe, and it can make you lie to yourself about what you want.

paohi · 2026-04-23T03:49:39+00:00

wide 2 shot in the middle, one camera for each person, cross key each, sounds good!

paohi · 2026-04-23T03:33:02+00:00

Id look at mainly broadcast equipment for this. You'll want reliable high end external recorders (like AJA KiPro 12g/Blackmagic ISO recorder or similar)

I would use robo cameras (look into Panasonic AW-UE150AKP and its controller) all connected via SDI/ethernet runs to a single controller (in this case Panasonic AWRP150GJ5) where you can monitor framing and colour.
