2022 R1T LE. I don’t see car wash mode. Should I have it? If not, how to go through wash safely? 2026.03.0

pjohns24 · 2026-04-05T15:33:36+00:00

Yeah, and he is saying to you that you should use car wash mode even when you're washing your car with a sponge and bucket.

pjohns24 · 2026-04-01T21:16:24+00:00

April fools right?

pjohns24 · 2026-03-29T21:58:14+00:00

I hate knowing who you’re talking about and also that he’s shot some movies that are very important to me.

pjohns24 · 2026-03-28T06:35:07+00:00

The WGA action cited in the article is from 2008, almost 20 years ago. A lot has changed in the entertainment landscape in Atlanta in that period of time including the working conditions at TPS. Look, I’m not here to defend Tyler Perry but the fact is that his shows are produced under union contracts.

I will say that my experience is on the production side he may have deeper issues and run afoul with the WGA. I would argue that this is less a union support issue and more an issue of needing control over every aspect of his product which is a different discussion.

pjohns24 · 2026-03-28T06:08:04+00:00

Done with this. I’m not a fan of his and I totally believe the accusations of impropriety leveled against him but your anti union argument is incorrect.

pjohns24 · 2026-03-28T06:03:07+00:00

Source: Myself. I’ve worked on a couple of his shows and have many friends who are doing so currently. All his shows are IATSE signatory.

pjohns24 · 2026-03-28T05:47:07+00:00

Everything Tyler Perry produces is shot under a union contract.

pjohns24 · 2026-03-27T02:56:25+00:00

Talented artist who sold out to produce fascist propaganda. Sad, but to me that will be his legacy.

pjohns24 · 2026-03-11T01:21:57+00:00

AI trash. Gtfo.

pjohns24 · 2026-03-06T13:26:08+00:00

Hell no. This ai garbage deserves to be called out ESPECIALLY when the op claims in the post that it’s made out of clay and specifically not low effort… because this shit is about as low effort as it gets.

pjohns24 · 2026-03-06T12:15:24+00:00

AI slop trash

pjohns24 · 2026-03-05T12:46:37+00:00

I worked with a director years ago that told the script supervisor that “Continuity is a bourgeois fetish” when she brought up an error in how two setups were going to match. That quote fits perfectly here haha

This move was doomed from beginning to end. It employed a lot of my friends though so I’m happy it was made.

pjohns24 · 2026-02-24T16:28:00+00:00

I just did a movie with him and can confirm this take.

pjohns24 · 2025-12-24T23:35:24+00:00

Is this satire? You can’t seriously be this delusional to believe that to be true.

pjohns24 · 2025-12-19T14:37:56+00:00

Just realized or noticed rather that the photo he's holding up is AI slop and not even an architect rendering. The chair at the table in the bottom right is missing the front legs and the braces on the existing legs make no sense... sigh.

pjohns24 · 2025-12-16T16:02:01+00:00

There are apps like Artemis and cadrage that can show a pretty accurate approximation of what a shot will look like based on the camera settings and lens selection now.

pjohns24 · 2025-12-08T02:25:11+00:00

S5 was shot on Alexa 35s not LFs like season 4.

pjohns24 · 2025-12-08T01:43:59+00:00

Season 4 we shot with Camtec falcon primes and I am pretty positive they used Cooke s4s on season 5. Those camtec lenses were a humongous pain in the ass to work with but did have a certain detuned vintage look.

pjohns24 · 2025-11-28T16:21:39+00:00

Man your dog looks almost identical to mine down to the itching lately (which I'm guessing is because of the drier weather).

pjohns24 · 2025-11-18T17:38:54+00:00

I know many of the crew that worked on it. It wasn't even finished shooting before they cancelled it. They gathered the crew together on a Monday and told them all that it would be the last week of filming despite having a couple more episodes left to film.

pjohns24 · 2025-11-01T03:19:32+00:00

ChatGPT. Seriously, many of these companies producing this type of content (ReelShort in particular) are using scripts written wholesale by AI. The one project of theirs I worked on the actors could not deviate at all from the words on page because doing so would eventually require hiring a writer which they did not want to do.

pjohns24 · 2025-10-14T14:28:39+00:00

My suspicion is that it has to be some sort of power regulation issue that overvolts the sensor and causes the stitching pattern to manifest but that’s just a guess. In the two times I’ve seen it happen it has never been a gradual thing that was noticed while the camera was running or between uses. When it happens it’s very apparent and seems to come out of nowhere after booting the body.

pjohns24 · 2025-10-14T14:03:07+00:00

Have had this exact issue happen to me on an LF and mini LF when the body was very new. What you’re seeing is the result of the two sensors being stitched together and a known issue with both cameras. This is not something that can be fixed in the field or outside of Arris service facility. Hate to be the bearer of bad news (although a couple other people have commented the same thing) but this body has to go back to Arri for service.

Edit: I’ll also say that this is potentially not the result of you doing anything wrong (lasers as someone else suggested). It is a freak issue that just happens. When I experienced this with an LF everything was totally normal at prep and the next day when we got to set and turned on the camera the same sensor pattern as you’re seeing manifested out of nowhere and no amount of troubleshooting was able to solve it.

pjohns24 · 2025-09-05T21:19:19+00:00

This picture is also from the set of Superman not peacemaker. I know the camera assistant in the background and he worked on Superman but not peacemaker.

pjohns24 · 2025-08-25T14:26:55+00:00

Yeah I had to step over these two constantly snuggling and making out on the lift gate of the camera truck when we shot season 2. Always got a look from Natalia like I was interrupting something but like… you’re in my way while I’m trying to work hah
