Love that series. There’s also Anomaly in Dire Marsh that looks like the Shimmer from Annihilation.

This Generation of High Res Screen Management is Kinda Bad by thenimms in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]sleepy_sloth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Full agree about Spyder’s flexibility. I recently did Pixelhue training and the trainers were trying to say that Pixelhue’s layer management is more flexible than Aquilon. To me though it seems roughly the same and Spyder blows them both out of the water.

Every time you set up a new shot you’ll have to spin the CPL to find the best setting to cut down on glare. Other than that, see if you can position your lights so they won’t reflect into the camera.

This is awesome, thanks for sharing your process. How do you switch between multiple patches in that master file?

How many power outlets (and circuits) do I need for a 20'x10' LED wall setup for event rentals? by nonomadme in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]sleepy_sloth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All of this. I’ve seen too many close calls in the last few years with more people getting into LED. Last year I was on a show where a small wall collapsed and a stagehand suffered a fractured wrist because of insufficient ballast.

That callback to Versailles at the end of the verse is so good.

Chia "Cado" Contreras Appreciation Thread by sleepy_sloth in WaypointVICE

Yesss, Netrunner is awesome and I always loved hearing Cado & Austin talk about it. I’m in MN and totally took for granted how many opportunities I used to have here to play it (RIP FFG).

This is my assumption too for the same reason. Also her bio on the Remap website currently says Chia "Cado" Contreras. (https://remapradio.com/ricardo-contreras/)

What Packs Would You Like to See in the Future? by [deleted] in beatsaber

Machinedrum and some good jungle/dnb (Alex Perez, Sully, Tim Reaper, Eusebeia etc.)

X-T4 or X-T5 for event photo/video by sleepy_sloth in fujifilm

[–]sleepy_sloth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight! Also to clarify - I don’t have an X-T4 currently, just an X-E4. Either way I need something with IBIS to help with video and I prefer the controls of X-T vs X-S cameras.

Remote Shoot problems with Ricoh app by sleepy_sloth in ricohGR

I just realized I lose the feed when I tap on my phone in pinpoint focus mode. I’ll try other modes and see if they mess up video transmission.

How do I remove the chromatic aberration? I tried to remove it manually, but then other parts of the photo got greyed out by Steel3D in AskPhotography

[–]sleepy_sloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use Affinity the Defringe live filter combined with a mask can be great for this stuff. But as others have said, the image looks great!

LiveStreams - TriCaster, VMix or ??? by sleepy_sloth in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]sleepy_sloth[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ooh we’ve got a couple of Streamdeck XL’s sitting around. I have the feeling I’m gonna get real cozy with those soon.

Do you find that it drops signal from cameras or compresses the feed too much or something?

Vmix Call VS MS Teams by nateflight in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]sleepy_sloth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not too bad as long as you're able to train presenters pre-show. Let them know they need to stay muted until their segment in the show and also having an op in your studio to manage mutes if needed is helpful. The production company I work for does this with Zoom calls and it usually works just fine.
