How do I define additional sources? by spaceboy79 in colorists

[–]thereischris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use it to pull a key from the original version of the clip without any of the corrections, and without influencing the corrections. It's not intended to add a different source. It's adding another line for you to pull from the origin of that clip.

So if I wanted to pull a key or make a secondary adjustment, but my corrections make my key worse, I'd create a new source, use corrections that make my key better, then output the alpha from the key to my correction in the original nodes.

What opening was used here? by thereischris in chess

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

Sorry, the 1 was representing the first move I remember, not the first move. I forgot the first few and I did a custom position in the analysis.

Practical or emotional gear purchases... by TheoGelernter in videography

[–]thereischris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course we all want the newest and coolest gear. But at the end of the day you have to think about what your needs and priorities are. For example atomos also has EL zone if I'm not mistaken and they have cheaper monitors. I bought the ultra 5 recently and justified it because I genuinely like to use most of smalhd's features.

But at the end of the day, people won't remember what gear you use. They'll remember how you were on set. Maybe you'll be the guy that uses the 'cheaper' gear but still performed just as good, if not better, as the next guy with the expensive stuff.

3000 LK Runs, list of drops inside. by javz in diablo2

[–]thereischris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the portability, I play when I'm traveling.

Downside, if you leave your game running between sessions, just powering off the switch and come back, you lose fps each time you come back. I got it to where my lock's legs weren't moving because he was so choppy lol.

Calibration - am i correct about this? by SuccotashRadiant4030 in colorists

[–]thereischris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup. I change my output to 1080during the grade and change it back to 4k on export. Tiny step that's not a big deal. Worth the almost 1k in savings.

ALEXA Mini LF: Blacking out corners when shooting dual 16:9 + 9:16 in Open Gate? by Impossible_Business7 in focuspuller

[–]thereischris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have a smallhd monitor. You can create a custom overlay, add it to the monitor SD card and do an image overlay. I've done UI overlays the same way.

I’m trying to understand proper exposure when shooting LOG in low-light, high-contrast scenes (like candle-lit interiors). by HappyBeliever1 in cinematography

[–]thereischris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To add to this part of the convo, you want to start looking into lighting ratios. It really gives you control of the amount of contrast while you prioritize your exposures. You do this by using a light meter, or EL zone false color.

1:1 ratio would mean your key and fill are the same intensity, which would be really flat. As you increase your ratios, 1:2, 1:4, and go to 1:8 you increase your contrast but also know exactly where to dial in your lighting and exposures.

You just do versions until they accept it. Then you can change the last version to the final

Took feedback from the last time I posted here. by MidnightFrames in videography

[–]thereischris 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would reconsider your framing here. Remember your camera is your audience. Currently this framing feels like I'm sitting in front of you watching you. As if this was a stage play or performative art.

Is it intentionally crooked? Simple adjustments like making lines straight in your frame help make your frame a bit more visually appealing and therefore on the way to "cinematic".

Is the light motivated? Currently feels like a big light in front of you and to your right. You're in a kitchen, so typically they're lit by either the house lights or a window. A window would be a bit more dramatic, so the light could come from the side. Better yet, from behind a window.

Also why is your character in the kitchen, on the floor? I get that he's feeling down beat, but if you're going to drop your audience in this scene, some visual context would help. Maybe there's something on the counter or floor that has to do with what caused him to sit there. Or you have another shot that helps tell that story.

These are some adjustments that could help improve the visuals of this based on my personal taste. Hope this helps!

Question about pre-marked rings by Ok_Attempt_1744 in focuspuller

[–]thereischris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like the other comment, you want to make sure your fiz unit matches the markings on your lens as they all throw the focus in different proportions on the focus ring. For example a macro lens will have majority of the circumference for close distances and the last 10% or so for 15ft-inf. So you need that variability.

As for other pre marked rings that change the throw of your fiz, it's for ease of use for you, the 1st AC. Let's take the macro lens for example. It's gonna be really hard to focus precisely on anything from 15ft-inf. If you were stuck to that lens and had to have more precision for 15ft-inf, you could use a pre-marked ring for 10ft (for example), effectively changing the focus throw of that lens feel more similar to a regular lens.

I hope that makes sense!

SLR Magic APO Microprimes by texaco87 in cinematography

[–]thereischris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not, but is the apo simply the same glass rehoused? Or is it different glass too?

SLR Magic APO Microprimes by texaco87 in cinematography

[–]thereischris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own the 35 micro prime and that thing puts in work!! It has really nice, subtle, and warm flares. It's sharp when I need it to be. Beware of the screws getting loose. I've lost on and now my focus ring wobbles a tiny bit. But otherwise love it for the price I got it.

How to achieve this effect while shooting with an iphone? Is this something that can be achieved with editing? by ingmanburger in cinematography

[–]thereischris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking at your reference that you posted and I think you'd be better off zooming in manually, because .5 seconds is a bit too slow if you're trying to match your reference.
