Time to Rig up my S1H & Ninja V with some cages ? i must say this setup is solid!Now waiting for Atomos to trigger that Raw signal anytime now?
 

I keep seeing cool tutorials for permanent setups to be used in a controlled studio type setup but there wasn't anywhere to share them, and I realised we mostly talk about taking the equipment to the subject rather than the other way around.
Who shoots in a studio?
Cool videos that might be useful.....
Laura has a great YT channel about making things but obviously has film-making talent too, and this one is particularly useful.  It even has a cameo from the Sigma FP!
 

I've had my Z-Cam F6 for a couple of weeks now. It's amazing what they have packed into this little camera. They gave me early access to the firmware they released yesterday which had a lot of color improvements. I also own an S1H and although i planned to sell one or the other, i'm keeping both. The S1H makes run and gun doc work easy. So when i'm hired to shoot behind the scenes footage by the studios, it'll be with the S1H. It will also serve as a B-Cam to my EVA1 for EPK interviews. The Z-Cam F6 on the other hand has strengths i'd want in a cinema camera that I'd use on productions where I'm not flying by the seat of my pants: shorts, features, dramatic documentaries. I'm loving the pairing of my SmallHD 702 Touch with the F6. I know they recommend the PortKeys BM5 because it can control the camera, but I wasn't a fan of the UI or the quality of the screen.

Remember when the CEO of Atomos, Jeremy Young , came out and said Z6 RAW was coming out soon...”by Black Friday at the LATEST”.
Well. Look at the date. Where my RAW? Where is it Jeremy ??

Are you making Netflix commissioned productions?

If you are: you'll have plenty of budget to hire Varicam/Venice/whatever!

If you are not: then that list doesn't matter at all.
 

More like the silent majority. The ones that don't look like idiots when posting on forums/social media like the average Liberal does.  

Wading into politics in this heavily polarized & heated environment is a good way to lose half of your readership.

From John Gruber (Daring Fireball):
“This is how Apple chose to unveil the packaging for the Mac Pro — in a poorly-shot overexposed propaganda video by the White House, scored with bombastic music that sounds like it came from an SNL parody of a Michael Bay film. Think about how it feels to work on that team at Apple.”
“A low moment in Apple’s proud history, and a sadly iconic moment for Tim Cook. I hope avoiding those tariffs is worth it.”
BEAUTIFULLY GRADED!
Apple’s latest ad is a brave new direction for the Cupertino tech giant’s brand.
To celebrate, I have created the EOSHD Tim Apple LUT.
The favoured look of the US President is perfect for factory tour videos or nationalist propaganda.
The LUT has a muted, washed, bleached contrast with no life and no joy in it. So if that’s what your scene demands, be sure to use the EOSHD Tim Apple LUT today.
Download the Tim Apple LUT (.cube format, free of charge, but at cost to your soul, 100% tested with Final Cut Pro X, Premiere and Resolve)

You’d be putting the same amount of water in a larger bucket.
No increase in detail, only an increase in file size.

According to Z Cam a third party is working on an E mount, supposedly with electronic connection, for the new cams. A FF with E mount would be killer - could mount practically anything, and use a speed booster for the cropped high frame rates. 

Oh yes please... I want that cinematic-filmic-sci-fi-look for cheap. I want my footage look professional. Especially sun rays shining through leaves. And ordinary people downtown (in slow-motion of course). Add some musicians work and I am good to go! Looking forward to show "my work" on YT.

I don't know who to trust anymore! 

I think I'm on a "screw buying new lenses I'm spending money on filters and light modifiers" phase. Layering diffusion, colored lighting and practicals, haze, actually caring about incidental bounce enough to use negative fill...  aaaand FINALLY got a black pro mist! Should get to use it out for a talking head shoot on Friday, but so far I'm really liking even just boring test shots.

Here's a little video that I put together for those green chair shots.
 

Big bummer. The RED patent also poses a threat to MagicLantern as MLV is compressed RAW video.

The worst news. Very surprised it stood up.

Got a 10K experiment going on with that. 10K resolution in iRacing
Prefer it to VR.
3x 4K screens even quite cheap these days.

He's a legend made by himself. Without him, we'd never have the prices as low as we have today. I heard this from the mouth of a Sony VP in person. The story on his health needs which taken him away to his deserved retirement is not new BTW. Just made public now. He's a warrior, this fight has years. He didn't stop, he kept it going.
As well his inventive market introductions. Massively distributed. Ahead of his time. Unique master of his craft. An example but for every producer. He is one of the key factors of the digital revolution. We owe him our tools of nowadays.
 
We really should appreciate gratitude. It's disgusting otherwise.

I'm sorry my fellow of boards, but such comparisons are truly unfair to say the least.
I've had my portion of personal contact with his people, work and company for a decade and a half now. Without mention to have had the privilege of private touch with the legend himself. Such antihero portrait is crappy lower resolution at best. Myth. Stinky sad one. Maybe if he would be a fool, he would equally bashed by usual detractors in a way or another.
It doesn't make justice to the individual who some other people have dealt with for real in the world over here.
 
On your compressed RAW remark, let's see:
They were the beginners to do it. Any doubt? Nothing else counts for the matter.
Would you do it in a different way? In the name of who or what?
They only protect their property.

Before anyone gets too misty eyed remember this is the same person who bullied employees for whistle blowing against Lance Armstrong and threatened news sites with law suits for being critical. He is also the master of hype and could just as easily have stubbed his toe as be facing real medical problems. 

The problem with a lot of information on Youtube is that most of it is coming from people who aren't out there filming everyday. This is just because it is hard to post on Youtube and film professionally; making a Youtube video take a lot of time unfortunately. I have lot's of other tips and will probably keep working my way up to Advanced tips. 
If you haven't already checked them out, here are a few channels that are really good and coming from professionals.

This is the next video in my series on how to make a good travel video. I hope that you get something out of the tips and as always, I would love to hear what you would like to hear in the next video!
 
 

Great tips - I binge lots of film-making and travel film-making on YT but these aren't tips I've heard before, so this is really cool.  I like the idea of "intermediate" tips, most channels don't get past using a ND.  
Makes me wonder what you would consider an advanced tip!
