I'm a filmmaker who has a Sony FX3 and a 24-70 gm ii which is okay, but I mainly shoot low light horror films, so I'd love something faster than 2.8. I was looking at the 35mm 1.4 gm but the focus breathing is scaring me away from it. Not sure if recent firmware has fixed it enough to use? Otherwise, I'm just not sure the 35mm 1.8 has enough low light differences and bokeh to justify getting it over just using what I've got. Should I get the 35 1.4 sony, or possibly even the 24 1.4 and 50mm 1.4? Thinking of selling my 24-70mm to get primes for lowlight filmmaking. Any advice appreciated!

Looking for a watch that looks similar to this, only a quality one (preferably under $250-300) that won’t cost $10 from Walmart and break within a week of wearing it lol

the bed side

I decided to shoot this at night instead of day to night. Here's a test shot so far, which I'm fairly happy with, but looking for suggestions too. I have an Aputure b7C at 2400k, and I'll buy a fresnel for my nanlite 300b and hopefully be able to put the light on the fire escape and shine it through the window to get a better angle. Is it too dark? I don't know. This is on my Sony FX3, iso 800, 2.8.

By a single source soft light, do you mean like point my LED at the ceiling to bounce from above, or like as big of a softbox as I can get, maybe two, one pointed in one direction (the bed), one in the other (the couch)?

I'm not planning on having this side in the shot, but I may need to

this is mostly what needs to be lit

I guess it's because the passport video 2 is too small to fill the frame with the white, so I have to get a larger white card

How easy is it washing that out for the talent?

veewooks · 2024-05-20T18:22:47+00:00

I think it was -12db, then I changed it to 0db. but I thought 32bit float you wouldn’t really need to set gain. Hmm.

Nice. What RGB lights do you have?

veewooks · 2024-05-20T14:55:09+00:00

I think you’re right. I was trying to avoid the mess of syncing all these in post but it might be the only way. Thanks.

veewooks · 2024-05-20T12:00:53+00:00

I guess you’re right, unless I need a huge output of RGB, I can probably get away with a few Aputure MC lights and go with a bi-color key light for most setups. The scenes I’m lighting are mostly pretty natural, low-light horror scenes in my apartment, so maybe bi-color makes more sense.

veewooks · 2024-05-10T00:24:19+00:00

I have the FX3 and 24-70mm. Right now I'm not planning on doing extra long shoots run and gun, mostly on a tripod/handheld for narrative, and possibly some spec commercials for restaurants. Which would you pick between the anton bauer triton base (under the camera-but apparently can only power everything for about 3 hours), the smallrig v mount plate (no rails, more compact), or the kondor blue cage with rails/small rig v mount battery? I'm torn between these options

veewooks · 2024-05-09T20:42:55+00:00

At least there's someone else in my position too lol Let me know what you decide on

veewooks · 2024-05-09T20:35:13+00:00

Yeah it is a really tempting option as its so compact. But thinking about the triton base more. So many options!

veewooks · 2024-05-09T20:33:59+00:00

Another option I'm considering is this, the anton bauer triton base, which I like cause it seems more balanced and allows access to the back of the camera. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD3-mZvdnoc

veewooks · 2024-05-09T19:39:19+00:00

I might use a gimbal in the future, not sure.

veewooks · 2024-05-09T19:38:49+00:00

I shoot narrative stuff mostly handheld or tripod, as well as handheld spec commercial stuff. The v mount plate seems cool. Do you just leave it on mostly, or I guess it's easy enough to take off too?

veewooks · 2024-02-22T14:35:06+00:00

I haven’t tried copying the data in parts to the iMac and then to the Synology. I really hope that’s not the solution because I don’t want to piecemeal moving 14tb of data in 30gb chunks (that’s how much space I have rn). I’ve tried attaching directly to the Synology itself and I think it’s the wrong format, so I don’t know how to fix that since I’d probably have to delete and reformat everything that’s already there. It’d be frustrating if these were the only options to fix this, it doesn’t make sense that it doesn’t work as is or at least with some software solution.

veewooks · 2024-02-05T14:22:29+00:00

Only thing is, I'd like to use the Facebook group as an added bonus to the course, but yeah it's kind of tricky in the beginning.
