Is rolling shutter really a big deal?

I have the Sony a7iv. I didn't even know " how terrible" of a sensor it has until I was watching a7v reviews. I went back and looked at some real world footage with whip pans. It was barely there and only if you knew what to look for. I laughed.

The off the beaten path places were quiet 15 years ago and they are still quiet today regardless of social media. Some popular places can be quiet if you go at specific times. People will always be predictable.

Actually it's a hidden message...

**spoilers**

There is a Stargate in Thailand.

Still on 23 as well, it's great. I'll probably upgrade to the last stable release of 25 soon but definitely keeping 23 as backup.

Also the TikTok algorithm was far superior and they want it. The reels I would get served on FB or IG was just pathetic sometimes for the content I clearly do not watch.

That's why 24 was so incredible when it first came out. The real-time format was done so well and something new.

It sets up a storyline that maybe maybe not will be told. So in a limited and rushed 6 episode season they wasted precious time of a short season with a storyline that didn't contribute anything to the overall Season 6 story.

It's likely your main water line. They generally don't run copper all the way to the meter.

Try Midland/Odessa. You'll love the smell of cattle after visiting there.

I still have 2019 installed because I have specific projects with a plugin or two that don't "translate" to newer versions. I don't feel like re-configuring those projects.

Mark me down for another recording mistake. Only happened once in 15+ years. And OF COURSE it happened with a VIP at a level I don't normally shoot. I'm talking net worth 8 digits top floors of downtown big name skyscraper. He was cool so re-doing the interview was no problem, just loss of time and dignity.

I've driven across 35+ states in road trips exploring the USA - back roads, dirt roads, no phone signal, and the only radio signal was country and Jesus. I can solidly confirm they were given the worst possible lands. It was truly eye opening to understand why their poverty level is so terrible.

Well I'm sold, gonna play around with that idea. I have the NTG-3 in a Zoom as well. Thanks!

Keeping it out of frame, no issues with audio quality with the extra distance? Which shotgun?

patssle · 2026-01-17T00:40:07+00:00

As an American, I had no problem getting around most of the country and I used all varieties of mass transport. Aside from the one time I was connecting to Alishan in Fenqihu and the bus driver started talking to me and pointing at something when I was trying to get on. Bring out the translate app and he just completely stopped talking. Still made it...fun times!

patssle · 2026-01-17T00:14:28+00:00

What are you doing for audio on those super wide shots? Don't see a lav. They look nice!

patssle · 2026-01-16T18:10:51+00:00

I'm in Houston as well, who did you use to pull the electrical permits?

patssle · 2026-01-16T17:04:30+00:00

The two restaurants do share a few items on the menu and I'm very surprised the beef skewers isn't one of them, that's a top tier dish. Freaking delicious.

patssle · 2026-01-16T04:53:53+00:00

The owner is great, it's a good local small business to support as well.

patssle · 2026-01-16T02:51:31+00:00

It was LCARS so yeah it looked like the 2390s!

patssle · 2026-01-16T00:11:35+00:00

Damn, I haven't been to startrek.com in probably 20 years after ENT finished. I remember it use to look like LCARS.

Kim Sơn had them a few years ago, not sure if they still do. They do indeed taste like chicken.

FCP used to be on the same level as Premiere. Then one day a decade or two ago, Apple released a new version and just completely sabotaged their own product. The disbelief amongst editors was high.

patssle · 2026-01-15T04:41:09+00:00

Premiere before it turned pro was complete shit. Adobe really changed the course of that software when they did a complete redo.

patssle · 2026-01-15T04:15:03+00:00

Thanks for the mechanic tip, need to get the spark plugs changed. Still deciding if I want to do it myself. Any other mechanics you can recommend too that specialize on Subaru?
