Googled “how to tie a rope to things” and this is exactly what I needed 😂🙏
Your explanations are most helpful. Thanks
What if you've never edited the actual video, just shot it, but the client says they've run out of money and want to edit themselves?
What does your contact with the client say?
@@PullMyFocus no contract. I guess I'd simply do what the contract says if that was the case. Thanks.
Diffusion materialss doesnt actually change the actual ray of light coming through it? (2:45) It does scatter the light rays like it is shown it the video (3:27). This natural phenomenon occurs in nature with the sunlight and the clouds. The sun doesn´t move (the hard light source) it is the clouds (diffusion) that are positioned between the light source (sun) and the subject (earth, cities, people etc.). The fact that we can move the diffusion material near or far away the light source doesn´t exclude the fact that the light is being diffused, i e scattered. Correct me if I am wrong but I thought scattered light IS diffused light.
Scattered rays of light are relative to the subject and the light source. The sun can be a sharp point of light in the sky creating harsh shadows. But if I was close to it in a space ship it would loom large and hit me with scattered light from all over its surface. It's the same with a diffusion frame. The wave of light hasn't actually changed.
In different industries, this conversation evolves. My customers sign 5 year agreements with me. There are months, sometimes years, when they miss out and invoice. Depending on the dollar amount, we let it stack up and make it right with them eventually.
Did you notice that they never talk about needing raw files in the initial communication when they are wanting a price quote? Shady af.
If you are making a video about filmmaking why not have shots that are well lit
Because the point of this video is about shot lists, not lighting. We don't have a full crew and a grip/electric truck to film well lit exterior shots when it's not the focus of the video.
Hmmm, I do not see the much, much better in your zoom in comparison.
In my case, my client has not paid me for 4 months. They never replied to my email, and I only found out through another freelancer that they said that they did not pay pay because there was an error on my invoice, something I was never notified about. Now I am waiting for my cheque, they told me that it will arrive in 3 weeks and it's already week 4 and nothing has shown up on my address. I don't want to work with them ever again.
Thank you, very informative video showing some of the features I'm currently interested in. You've made me a subscriber to your channel.
thank you good sir!
Red is not single always a Double 🙄
Thanks so much for this wonderfully gentle intro. I was scared now I'm not (so much)
Thanks! It was the same for me
thanks man
I appreciate your video, at the same time kind of freaking out, I can’t seem to find Topaz version 4 and it was my understanding that it only took 4GB of dedicated VRam now on the new version it says 6 and I don’t have 6 on my laptop that took me a very long time to find. Man I hope I didn’t get cancelled out I have an SD film that I was counting on with this upscale! Topaz will really be letting me down if 4 just isn’t available anymore!
Wow. Great, great information. Thank you
FIRST STEP: Right Click on the preview and "Unlock preview"
My learning is that the Century company made the ubiquitous studio version of these stands and Century got shortened to "C" stands in the biz. The legs are three different heights because then it is possible to nest a bunch of stands very close together on crowded sets by having the numerous legs involved stepping over top of each other. You can't do that with equal height angled legs that have those thin flat spreading braces connecting them. As was demonstrated, there is no space saving to having them detach. In fact it's worse and that's also taking more time.
The sound and logo at the start of this clip. Horrible! Made me leave this channel.
THANK YOU!
One thing I've noticed while using this software is that using the models made for sharpening already good video are the best for upscaling any video resolution. The low quality models tend to just smudge all details.
I've been using TVEAI for several years, since version 2.6 I think, it's still the best upscaling program on the market and well worth the price!
This guy's knot is fucking useless. What a stupid piece of crap
need a update vid
Custom Convoluted Reverb blew my mind
If I want to mount a large softbox onto a c-stand,, can I put it right on the top mount of the stand (without using the grip head) or what would you recommend? I have an Avenger and don't want to mess it up.
That would work. Lots of sandbags.
Radial shadow is the easiest and best way to create border. But apparently they’ve changed the way it works now. Making it useless.
How much time it takes 1 hour footage upscale to 4k
1985 we shot a movie in 16mm. It was converted into VHS, then skanned to digital video, terrible quality. Is it possible to improve such stuff into HD-resolution?
هل وجدت الجواب على سؤالك ؟
Great video. I purchased this model and this video was helpful.
Should your videographer keep your videos?
No but we found it's a good idea because it makes any future work with the client and that footage easier.
excuse me, what is the software used here?
Software? This was hardware old-school.
An used 2020 Mac Pro and you have all the Apple smoothness plus Hacintosh upgradability and longevity
Love the humor and fun but most importantly I learned more in this 6+min video than I did in a 60min I just finished watching! 🎉Thank y'all!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Great video, On the example project, why did you shoot 23.98 vs 24 fps??
They're the same. We say 24 fps but we're rounding up.
Great video. Finally someone who does not see a topic in black and white and get all emotional about it 🙏
How did you power the flexlight with npf batteries what adapter was used?
It came with the flex lights.
Was Vista Vision the forerunner of IMAX? IMAX Cameras are huge, and load. Vista Vision Cameras can be build smaller. Vista Vision is the best compromise between common 35 mm and 70 mm IMAX. A native projection of Vista footage vision must look awesome. It would be interesting to watch the differences in split screen of Vista Vision and common 35 mm projection.
Great info, but man this guy needs some energy. Starting to get that old man voice
An excellent and very full presentation of Vistavision. VV is a relatively uncelebrated format but the richness of the colour and the fresh-air open quality of the image has never, in my perception, been bettered. Cinemas equipped with VV projectors were rare. I live in the UK where I think only two such installations existed, both in London. Alas, I never got to see a film projected this way but I have seen a 70mm blow up of _Vertigo_ and that was breathtaking. Technirama, a combination of Vistavision and Cinemascope, which could be shown on a much wider screen, had the same qualities. Well done. I will look at your other videos. As for IMAX, point taken, but it's just too big for a 1940's and 50's film lover.
Great video! Loved it!
the most useless video i watched today ...
f5.6 is my favorite f-stop (1/8 sec, iso 100). Glad to see someone else using it. Shot an entire 7-minute film with that exposure, some 180 shots or so. The lens was a kit zoom, 18-55mm. Not the sharpest glass, but it did everything that was needed. That was the first time ever working with a DSLR, and a software interface closed the knowledge gap. Had that camera shooting stop motion in the first week after 2 years of pre-production.
Seriously mind blown 🤯 after seeing this. I’m looking for something like this right now. Thanks for video. You also have a new sub.
I suspect with special effects it has less to do with information loss due to transferring and had more to do with the fact they could make the images larger without actually zooming in. It meant greater detail with the effects of the models.
They didn't need to zoom in as they just filled the frame with the object they were shooting and through the composite "pasted it" where it was needed in the frame. But yes, I'm sure it helped to have a higher res, high grain image. But the big issue was generation loss to the image due to the composite.
@@PullMyFocus The level of information loss from a few transfers would not justify the use of Vistavision. I suspect it has more to do with the ability to increase the size of the image without causing blurring. So it means the could blow up the size of object and impose it into a standard 35mm frame. I wonder what whey could achieve with a 15/70 set up.
Just to add you can put about 80 million pixels on 35mm film which equates to a simple 12k resolution at 2 to 1 aspect ratio.
Double that for VistaVision, and triple for 70mm.
@@markallen2536 I think VistaVision using modern film stock could probably achieve similar resolution as 15/70 film projection with a similar screen size.
Thank you! Very clear
3:47😂
Thank you, but holy shit what is premiere doing? think premiere was the wrong choice.
