absolutely. im basically talking about light sources, speculars. or creatively you might want to do something different, but i mean "whites", if you will edit: and i can just kind of judge how much i can recover the highlights based on where they clip onscreen edit 2: im gonna write a guide called The Laziest Way to Shoot Raw

no im not using any exposure aid ??? i can only attribute this to being really familiar with the stills from the camera – i knooo its not the same, but its similar – and ive been shooting lil practice clips for months, messing around in post just trying to get a feel for it yup, thats the idea~! although in practice its kind of a "concept" i reach for ?

I kno right. that guy in those shots has been GREAT. so cool. one lady ditched me, and im still yet to meet the third actor in person, so im 50/50 on this one so far lol and now that i think about it, heres the reality of my stupid way of exposing: i dont like to have stuff on the screen, peaking, histogram, anything, i prefer a clean view to having that stuff. SO, im exposing by eye, and what i do is... well, it depends if i know i want to pull maximum dr out of the shot, im gonna ETTR as much as i think i can get away with. but for most shots, i just expose so that the highlights clip where i want on the screen, and that seems to give me plenty of room to recover highlights in post. super ghetto, i kno what i mean is: any shot where i want anything in it to clip, i just adjust to that end with whats on the screen, so its clipping the way i want exposure-wise right on the screen. in 5dr raw there isnt a ton of dr to work with, but i like the way it clips as long as its exposed correctly, u kno? does that make any sense ?

thank you thank u!!! theres already been shenanigans... broken air conditioner, legit had to reschedule... actress just took another (much better) job... ::sigh::: mercer, i dont know how to do anything, but those screen grabs actually absolutely represent some very dicey exposing those shots were at iso 6400, normally exposed, and then i pulled them way down in post... seemed to take care of the noise nicely (???) literally no idea what im doing tho lol. wouldnt have shot that high but..... it happened edit: and im totally exposing by eye, based on my tests. im...... a moron

i am finally shooting my little ml raw film omg wish me luck guyzzz

lol i hear ya... but this lil short doesnt have any dialogue~!

gotcha, thanks! so, im making a short with no dialogue right now, is enabling subtitles a good idea with something like that just to make google happy? is that the idea? ill do whatever lol

hmmm... whats this about? cards, subtitles/algorithm? ?

i got halfway thru that video, and im seeing some different looks. could you post some screen grabs of the exact result youre seeking?

wow Andrew, im really impressed~! i echo the sentiments of others. additionally, i thought the reds looked GREAT! i was like... RED!!!! OMG!!!! NO KIDDING LOOOOL uhh yeah... i was thinking that too, how things MUST have gotten better, havent been following Sony closely lately however, your before/after goes from puke to awesome, still looks shitty beforehand lol. so cheers to you for that!!

im sure he'd appreciate it

unless im mistaken, its the same old thing, like for the short im making... vimeo or youtube? vimeo = maybe better quality if it works, better community for critical praise/staff pick, etc. doesnt work a lot which is v bad for ppl with 4 sec attention spans (everyone) youtube = always works, uploading a robust 4k clip can work to beat 1080 quality limitations, HUGE social network, everyones on it if youre gonna pick one over the other, the choice seems p obvious. well, what about uploading to BOTH sites? that works for plenty of ppl with hot videos, but if you have, say 5k views, do you want to divide them over different platforms? its a quandry

Vimeo definitely has some playback issues. I have a fast connection

I detest your attitude, and I have absolutely no interest in anything youre talking about ? A "condition of employment"??? ??? Are you high? Great, youre American? You should be absolutely ashamed. Dont you have better things to do? Thats my SHOCK – you think this argument is important!!! like your opponent. and now youre fighting me? I feel sorry for you pal ? Why has the word "sissy" been used on The Simpsons so many times? You dont think thats a "respectful" writing room? Dude...

you know you posted a thread by a banned user right?

nevermind/ let me put a point on this: @jonpais is a raging jerk. hes deleted my posts and threads. i think he needs some time off from the forum @John Brawley, had a fit over the word "sissy", which infuriates me. in America that isnt "hate speech", you act like he said fa**ot. /thats it

what do you mean by that? are you talking about me?

im a cat

+1 these are advanced techniques

@Liam lol i was jk im sorry~!!!! u kno i love you in all seriousness, weird as this sounds, i KNOW ppl who SELL DVDs~! they fuckin sell em... and, weird as this is, theyre independent professional wrestlers. you see – omg ?

one word: laserdisc

@Liam: frankly i dont own a DVD player..... so. that would not be ideal lol

a point: i recently ealizedr that full screen finder preview of video does NOT render the same way as quicktime, noticed a lack of detail vs. what i knew was in the file. again, messed up in finder preview, normal in quicktime. just a heads up
