sometimes, when you're making a doc, a NEW LEVEL OF NARRATIVE reveals itself as things move along...!

u know what else doesn't have AF when recording raw? my 5D3 ?

I'm sorry, my intent here was vague at best, I'm with u ?

I mean:  REALLY???? rlly. 2020.

I think that this may be The Last Emperor of canon dslrs... I'm ALL for mirrorless, but this is a lil disappointing... and this is for what, $6k?

raw without AF feels like a hack ?

Something we haven't even thought of yet that is weirdly bizarre and inexplicable, such as omitting audio recording if doing 10bit internal or only allowing it in B&W????

kayleerumors is reporting that the log mode only works under a "blood moon", whatever that means

And the problem with that is that every film shot on film didn't look like it had only two colours, or that it was boring, or that it hid a lot

100%. im strictly speaking of digital, relatively recent post work. im a huge fan of film...

film kinda “just worked” in terms of color (mostly lol). horses for courses, but in general that ‘analog’ palette it just a lot more pleasing. the over saturated colors, the fake red and greens, theres a reason that filmconvert is so popular lol

a ~subtle~ cool/warm grade is PROFOUNDLY effective, and theres degrees of that. im talking abt this over the top super reductive color palette thing thats been so in since everybody got a mbp lol

ive come to hate the WILDY overused teal/orange post treatment, bc WOW IS IT BORING

i like films that use color wisely and have variety, not TWO FRICKIN COLORS FOR TWO HOURS

u guys kno what im talking abt — there was a TON of content like that for awhile. maybe less now

on the plus side, putting a strong complimentary grade on your footage will certainly give it a look, and its a GREAT way to pull together a bunch of crappy poo shots.

a strong teal/orange grade can HIDE a lot too, a highly reductive palette is great for that, and can be super useful in post when you have non art directed footage to work with

WHY you would design a feature to look like that in its entirety i cant tell ya

So  your saying theres a 50% chance that the girls on film thread will go ballistic ?

lol remember the pokemon app a few years back that brought society together...? thats what im picturing ?

p much anything where ppl in western culture can become MORE disconnected from reality seems to be a big hit 

oooo i love new years prediction gimmicks, and this is a new DECADE...!!!! ? ???

ok: I PREDICT THAT BY 2030 VR WILL BECOME A THING, AND THAT VIDEO GAMES WILL LEAD THE WAY

who knows, it could be like a nintendo system, where the ‘graphics’ are simple, but it pulls ppl in, and changes the game

that or p0rn lolol

ykno i forget that the subforums are even here, im super guilty

ill do better in 2020 guize

HAPPY MERRY EVERYONE!!!

hang on tight, i think that 2020 is gonna be the year it all comes together ?

i feel like what we call vr atm is such a flash in the pan its like obsessing over laserdisc lol

is it coming...? oh yes. but its mature form may be virtually unrecognizable to us, IN OUR LIFETIMES

its wild man

Hopefully something minor like 8-bit-only 1080p. The 1DXiii is already at a disadvantage over the "C" series without internal NDs, 3.5mm audio input only, no exposure tools, and no angle-adjusted screen. It'll probably have no more than 13 stops of DR.

lol when you put it that way im like Yeah! ...Why am i even interested in this camera in the first place? ?

the more these great specs come out, the more fun it is to imagine what the crippling, "gotcha", deal breaker issue will be...! ?

do u guys expect this to be wildly light sensitive (with better color) because of quad bayer...?

120fps in 4k??? a FAN?????!!!

lol we'll see huh

edit: also, all cameras should have a fully articulated flippy screen. i kno bloggers like it but so do i ?

hey guize

so my brother, who does not know a computer from a hole in the wall, has been living and working happily with his macbook air for like 1000 years, but it finally broke. since it was a gift, he has no idea what mac laptops cost, and he recently had a brain aneurysm when he found out

so he calls me and hes like I NEED A CHEAP LAPTOP?? and he wants to spend "a bit less" than a macbook air would cost... like half that lol. or less. i was like Ok its not gonna be apple, u kno that right? he was like What does that mean

personally, i must confess that i barely kno what a chromebook is, what a pc laptop is, etc.

he does web based work in chrome, some basic photo editing, stuff like that. obvs this is not a video/vfx machine, but i want him to get somethin that isnt garbage even if it is rlly cheap

would u all edjumacate me on whats out there a lil bit?? idek where to start looking! ☹

my first question is are any of these chromebooky netbooky lil things EVEN worth the X hundreds of dollars that they cost, or do they just break in 3 months, are intolerably shitty, etc etc

guize????? ??????

lol i DONT mean violate any copyright laws via youtube! ?

theres lots of royalty free stuff up there, etc

the way i do sound design, in practice, is By any Means Necessary

by the time im doing sound on a project, i have inevitably COMPLETELY run out of money, so 90% of the sound fx become ME, recording myself

• falling down

• walking

• stomping

and so on

thats my approach, would highly reccommend ?? ?

great tips, theres also a ton of stuff on youtube where u can just rip the audio

Hi guys, i will repeat my self once again just to make sure that you have been warned about this.

Three out of four 16 inch units are producing pop sounds through their speakers during media playback.

I have a 2019 15 inch model and it does this too, but the 16 inch models are producing louder pop sounds due to the new speaker design.

This is by 90% a software issue but it's not known when and "if" Apple will resolve this through a software update. So maybe you should wait for a couple of months.

If you are ready to spend 3000$ on one of those units, please take some time to read my thread on Apple's site before stepping in an Apple store:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250758649?answerId=251719472022&page=1

I opened the above thread regarding my 15 inch unit's problem but many early adopters of the 16 inch laptop came in to report the same issue. 

I have uploaded 2 videos on YT demonstrating the issue. You will find the links there (there are 4 pages, read them all). In the second video you will see that during an editing session inside FCPX you will hear thousands of pops by just skimming through your media. There is a workaround but it will drain your battery faster.

 

thank you for reiterating this. that popping sound would drive me fn crazy

Anyone here have the new 16" MBP already? Could you run the Blackmagic RAW Speed Test and post your results together with your configuration here? Would be super helpful in making an informed purchasing decision.

im also interested in who actually has one of these, im thinking abt picking one up

look: not to shame anyone but i SUCK at the super technical side of this stuff, and I JUST MADE MY 2nd SHORT FILM 100% in resolve, i swear ITS NOT THAT HARD lolol

im living proof!

just try a lil project with resolve as an editor, use the color tab a little, and go from there!

fairlight (for audio) is easy and powerful!

give it a shot!! u DONT have to be a fusion vfx master to get started!! ???

see how nice u guys r!!! i dont like watching u fight like in the political thread, makes me sad. it aint christlike

im grateful to be a filmmaker

its a long tough road to even begin to articulate your voice with this medium, but its worth it
