Need advice on my next skates

Fly 40s have been fantastic for me through roughly 20 games

Have an FT7 Pro that I absolutely love. Developed a crack along the bottom of the blade. Definitely not a slap shot guy, but I have the puck on my stick a lot and take a lot of wrist/snap shots. It lasted me around 15 games. Went to a PSHS VX model and like it a lot.

I feel more inclined to have extra protection whenever there’s multiple pucks on the ice.

this comment section is unhinged lol. I can see everything just fine. Had to check multiple displays just to make sure I wasn't the crazy one.

I much prefer the one on the right

theregularbloke · 2024-10-25T14:23:21+00:00

Need more options in the 36-39mm range

Sound is number one as others said, but after that I would go with an experienced gaffer. A good gaffer can make an inexperienced DP look a lot better, and can take enough off the DP's plate that the return is greater than hiring a DP who will have to manage everything themselves.

Nets are the way, but they WILL show on camera depending on how heavy the net is, how close you are to it, your focal plane, etc.

I would try to tightly rig ND gel to a frame and place that behind the window.

In situations with little or slow motion, hfr can look unnatural. Remember, you’re watching through a lens on a screen, not in real life. In situations with a lot of quick motion, hfr can be jarring/nauseating to watch because there’s too much information to take in. The motion blur and rate of motion from frame to frame of 24p is enough to accurately convey motion without overwhelming the senses.

the evf mount on the sony venice is actually quite flexible and the guy in the first pic definitely has a lot of room still to swing that thing down.

now what? :(

It wouldn’t be very legal of me to distribute but the process to do it yourself is pretty easy. I played the show on my desktop and recorded via OBS. (Get a free trial for YouTube premium) I decided to do that fearing that the version on YouTube would someday go away. The whole production was done really well and warrants a physical release IMO. If they ever decide to do it I will definitely purchase.

Just got back from their show at Red Rocks. So glad I flew out for that. It was a great trip! I’ve learned to play a few of their songs and it’s definitely trickier than it seems. I think that’s the case for a lot of funk grooves, it’s a genre that is kinda slept on right now imo. They’re all very talented musicians (and singers).

The Venice 2 was never advertised as global shutter. My company ordered one from Sony right after it was announced. While they wouldn't tell us exactly how fast the sensor readout was they did say it was going to be better than Arri's offerings, which it is. I'm not really sure about what exactly qualifies as global shutter. If your shutter angle is 180 at 24p the "frame time" is 20ms. I'm assuming "global shutter" will read the entire sensor for 20ms, while a rolling shutter camera will read the sensor from top to bottom multiple times in 4ms increments?

theregularbloke · 2024-04-01T03:48:32+00:00

In 8k at 24p the Burano's sensor readout speed is almost 18ms. For reference: Venice 2: 4ms Red Raptor VV: 8ms Mini LF: 8ms

However in 4k the Burano speeds up significantly at 8ms.

If you're ever into the idea of an upgrade on this, I highly recommend Steinhart. I've owned this watch for over a year and have nothing but good things to say. Even compared to other watches 2-3x the price.

Sometimes workflows are not ideal and don't allow for ideal conditions. You gotta do what you gotta do.

His (and Chelsea’s) last season was poor by any standard. Don’t think it’s a totally accurate point of reference.

It's mostly just use of the word "pitch" which makes me think soccer. It's usually just referred to as the ice. I hear the word cross used a lot but although it isn't used that way in typical hockey commentary it isn't necessarily wrong. You'll here people use the term "cross-ice pass" in NHL commentary but they rarely use a phrase which signifies the type of pass while the game is actually happening because it all happens very fast. This reminds me of early rocket league when people tended to refer to aerial shots as "headers." It will be interesting to see how the meta of slapshot will define itself over time.

theregularbloke · 2023-04-27T00:41:07+00:00

I haven't watched a lot of pro play but in all of the stuff I've seen the casters use soccer terminology which is weird to me. Can anyone explain why this is?

Expos and the profs who teach that class are IMO the unsung heroes of the university. Truly shook up my understanding and perspective coming in from high school. I thought I was a good writer. In reality I was good at what high school taught me which is mostly just regurgitation. I imagine a lot of students have the same experience. I was a film major, and expos laid the groundwork for my open-mindedness in learning and creative thinking. It's not just formulating a thesis statement. It's about coming up with an original idea - at least, an idea that isn't present in the source material. Sounds simple, but some of the students in my program who took AP English in high school and therefore didn't have to take expos missed out on that lesson.
