    • It's great to hear that the people doing real work have taken the time to build a custom look for themselves. Just another reminder than the muppets on social media aren't really representative of how real people use cameras.
    • Sounds like a capable setup! I'd imagine you just setup the camera with the right codec and frame rate and exposure time, then you're just using the lens and filters to expose and focus?  That was how I was shooting with my BMMCC and it was great, not having to navigate camera menus or anything. I bought a bulk lot of drink can holders (which are just fabric covered foam) and found they're great for putting lenses in to protect them from each other, so if you want to upgrade your paper towels that might be an option.  You could super-glue them together if you wanted to make something with a bit of shape, sort-of a very DIY custom camera-insert.
    • It's all just a workflow thing really. We shoot everything in log and it's easy. We have film simulation grades we've developed in post that we input to the camera as a reference LUT. Then in post that same grade is automatically dropped on in the edit. This means we get a pretty consistent look all the way through the process and grading time is minimal. But I agree if we were just dropping a cst on the footage there wouldn't really be a point to shooting log. 
    • I only use Log for situations which are relatively consistent throughout the whole shoot. It's not a good profile for run and gun filming.  My commercial work I can keep pretty consistent so it can be shot in Log, my other work is weddings, I ideally need access to the full ISO range on a camera, I need to work indoors and outdoors, variable colour temperatures and lighting conditions. My wedding clients won't know or won't care if I shot Log or not. I use a tweaked Natural profile on my Lumix cameras, using 10-bit where possible which makes a huge difference in post if my WB is off. The files are still thick enough to push and pull. Yes I might only have 9 or 10 stops of DR to play with as opposed to around 12 if I shot in Log but at least it's much less stressful to work with on the day and easier to manage in post. I have a PowerGrade with my signature look ready to go in Davinci which I slap on and Adjustment layer then make minor final tweaks to clips where necessary.
    • 2 hours... no joy. Not sure where i went wrong, but at at 11pm i pulled the battery, then the card. Thought i may have bricked the thing. However it fired up without a card and i put the card in the pc and reformatted it and copied the update file across again. On the 2nd try it, updated in about 5 minutes. I should add this was the mission 1 gopro. The mission1 ils can't be updated via sd card or i could only get it to happen over blutooth, there simply is no other option to continue on with. That failed multiple times... in the end i had 8 separated gopro entries in the blutooth pairings when i checked...  i deleted all the entries and I turned the phone off and  the mission 1 ils off. Once i restarted both, it decided to play ball.   The ils blutooth update was a bit quicker than the sd card approach however it did do an app update and another update then it did the ils update. Cant remember what the middle update was for and at this time of night i don't really care.  I can't say i have ever used the phone with a gopro before now, but i'm hoping i can use it as either a monitor and or use the phone to trigger the ils, as i can see that being quite handy.   I did find something on youtube about auto focus for the ils  not watched it yet, perhaps it will interest some of you.   Other than that, good night.
