    AaronChicago reacted to Cinegain in Phantoms (Suspense/Horror Short)   
    Where the heck you get 'rural Europe' from? xD She's driving an SUV through cornfields. In Europe, she would've been on public transport commuting through the city. Also, in Europe ain't noone got a stove, light switches and powersockets like that.
    Back OT. Spoiler alert. Guess someone didn't want her to have that baby. Not sure why though, if you've been made, you wouldn't try to get some answers 'who are you!? What are you doing here?! What do you want from me?!'... although, could be that she just wasn't expecting a reply to come out of the dude's mouth (without one). Typical 'yeah, we should definitely split up'-move ditching the scissors and then go sit in front of an open window. lolz.
    That one shot kinda reminded me of Courage the Cowardly Dog (who lives in 'Nowhere').

    Ah... the nostalgia.

    I think it could've been a lot shorter. In fact it probably could've started at the 4:00 mark - not because it doesn't hold your attention, but because there's nothing we see before that which tells us anything we need to know. All it does is raise confusing questions like "why does a college-age girl live alone on what appears to be an industrial-level farm?" and "why does this person keep a baseball bat right next to the front door" (especially as they seem to live in rural Europe?), and "what type of monster uses single-use water bottles in 2019?".

    AaronChicago reacted to Zak Forsman in Z Cam E2 will have ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FPS in 4K??   
    A couple weeks ago I shot some test footage with my buddy, John. He's a great actor that has played lead roles in a few of my films. Anyway, to get the old creative juices going again, I invited him over so I could see how the E2 reacted under my Quasar Science RGBX LED lamps. I used a combination of daylight balanced and cyan. I intended to sell the E2 when my F6 arrives at the end of this month, but I think the E2 plus speedbooster will be an excellent b-cam to my F6 when I need high frame rates that the F6 can't reach.
    Z-Cam E2
    Metabones Speed Booster XL (.64x)
    Contax Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 (2x Oval Aperture Mod)

    Hey guys I got my bmpcc6k last wk and finally got to take it out this wknd to do some test shots. Here are some screen grabs. I shot in Braw 6k & 2.8k mixing 23.98, 50 and 120 fps. Lens was canon 24-70mm L series. Also I had no ND so I had to stop down a lot and mess with the ISO to expose. 
     
    These stills I colored in Lightroom. I’ll have the video edited and colored within the next wk or so. I’m really loving the look.
     
    Also below are the raw files with the colored ones side by side. I’m not a colorist but I tried my best to bring out the colors.

    Yes, you can dial it down to 0 in V-LOG and it looks organic.
    Yes, it's there to lessen moire, rather than win the 48 megapixel chart test.

    AaronChicago reacted to thebrothersthre3 in NAB'19 -- where's RED or where's still RED ONE when NAB'19 is out there?   
    Seems like RED's aren't any worse in low light than any other of the cameras usually used in Cinema productions? 

    I tend to obsess over low light capabilities, but as long as you have decent lighting 1600 ISO and fast lenses makes the cut for most situations.

    AaronChicago got a reaction from Eric Calabros in Canon is about to release a new FF mirrorless for 1599$?   
    I used the EOS R for 4 days and loved everything about it except no 4k FF. I think I might have bought it if that feature existed on this camera. Here’s a couple of stills i shot w/ it.
