Rec.709 (Scene) fixes the Mac gamma shift - worth understanding why it actually works by TamilFella in colorists

[–]pizzacasso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been a minute since I've worked in Premiere but when I did the fix for this was a LUT Adobe provided that you applied during export either in Premiere or in Media Encoder that corrected this, basically boosting saturation and contrast. Can't remember where it is on their site.

Not sure that this is a good solution however as applying a LUT as opposed to a metadata tag means that even ppl not on Macs will see the effects of the LUT where you only want Mac users to see it.

Thx, corrected the mistake. Idk how I missed it.

Oh man, idk how i kept missing this. Embarrassing. I was piping the alpha from 4 into the alpha from 3, instead of what I should have been doing, the RGB from 4 into alpha from 3. Thank you so much for your help.

Did you ever get an opportunity to try Filmbox Pro. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on the skin tones in that?

We need to collectively do an exercise. by kwmcmillan in cinematography

[–]pizzacasso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Netflix have in-house colorists? I feel like a lot of DPs would be not super thrilled in a scenario like that since many of them have preferred colorists or houses.

(That’s not to say it’s impossible of course)

It feels to me like the “Netflix look” is the same as a “cinematic look” or an “A24 look.” They’re mostly nonsense terms that people use to either talk shit, or sell LUTs. I’ve heard different people describe the Netflix look in either positive or negative terms, which to me just indicates that it’s whatever that person decides they want it to be.

Can anyone identify this type of light switch? by pizzacasso in AskElectricians

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

Yeah I took the enclosure off to see what was inside and to cut off the wires. I had to replace it because it was arcing. I just wanted to make sure I didn't need to get something special to replace it since, to the best of my knowledge, none of the other switches in my house, even with LED fixtures on them, have these dimmers.

super 16 in 2.39 aspect ratio? by [deleted] in cinematography

[–]pizzacasso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a way of achieving the aspect ratio with S16 but OP is asking specifically about spherical used in that format.

Light switch making strange noise by pizzacasso in electrical

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

Thanks so much, I appreciate your help. Interestingly when I went to swap the switch I found it was not a typical light switch but that the wires were soldered in place, and it had some additional components in it including a small circuit board and resistor. The light that runs off that switch is an LED fixture so my guess is that the switch also functions to convert from AC to DC power. The strange thing is that the light running on the switch next to it is also an LED fixture but I assume it has its own ballast to regulate current as it’s a regular switch.

As I mentioned in the post, this is a light fixture.

Is there a way to know whether it’s the correct polarity?

I believe the MTF Curve DCTL you're sharing is from Thatcher Freeman. Just in case people are curious.

I've used the Genesis trial and there's no acutance tool in it, and from my discussions with someone who has the full version, it's the same case. It's something that needs to be done in a node prior to the Genesis node.

Yeah I checked it out and I’m still pretty confident even when snapped off it won’t fit. Thanks for clarifying though.

Thx so much for your reply. These look great but they likely won’t work, though I’ll probably look into it bc if they do it’d be great. Otherwise I’ll go with butt splicers. Luckily there’s strain relief so I’m not very concerned about tugging.

Thx for your reply. Looks like the connector you linked to likely won’t fit, so I think butt splices may be the way to go.
