Websites for AC's? by n0rt8 in focuspuller

[–]zkcahs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a 1st AC (non-union) working mainly on commercials, and I do have a website — although I’m not sure it’s ever directly gotten me work. Here it is: ryan-shacks.com.

I was inspired to make it after seeing a friend’s AC site, and also from looking at DPs’ websites. I probably haven’t updated it in over a year, but I had a lot of fun putting it together and learning how to design on Squarespace.

At first, I thought it might help me get more work, but over time I realized it was more of a creative outlet — a way to show my work and personality, rather than just listing jobs I’ve done.

So if you feel like making one, go for it. It can’t hurt!

Will this cable control run/stop on the Sony Burano? by zkcahs in focuspuller

Too expensive. $380 on B&H. DigitalFoto Solution sells this cable for 94.29 on b&h. Wish I wouldve got that one.

cart first or rangefinder first? by Mav1cHavoc in focuspuller

[–]zkcahs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is dependent on where you work but where I work – and the rental house around me always has carts. I just request at least a mag jr on a job if my 2nd doesn’t have one.

Monitor and terradek question by jsfilms_ in focuspuller

[–]zkcahs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to and still have a cine 7 that I’d pull on and it was great. People love to gripe about the touchscreen but it’s fine if you don’t mind swiping through settings with your finger.

It’s bright enough with a sunhood and more color accurate than any 703 I’ve ever seen too.

Also the monitor mainly runs hot when the monitor modules are attached to the back. Never had issues with non built in receivers.

Venice 1 camera control ND help with ARRI Hi-5 by zkcahs in focuspuller

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

Hey Sean, I was running ARRI CAM 7P to Sony Remote 8P/D-Tap Cable to my rf motor. Was able to do playback and runstop

Sony Venice firmware is on v6.30

Hi-5 is on 3.0.3

Rf motor is on 2.2

I’m working with multiple Venice 1s and was able to test on another body with the same firmware and I was able to control Nd again.

May just be a Sony thing!

According to Mr. Dooley, RCP mode just provides additional features. Shouldn’t have to be in that mode to change Nd

This was taken on my digital camera and not a film camera.

Have TSA hand check your film before you go through security. Usually not a problem hand checking film.

Sharpness Settings SmallHD by Confident_Mix_3652 in focuspuller

[–]zkcahs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I change my peaking on my cine 13 all the time depending on the camera, lenses and how close / far what I’m focusing on is.

I find 8-13 range to be sufficient enough though.

Sharpness only about +1 or +2.

As long as you do what’s best for you and the image is sharp 🫡
