    The mainstream media needs to be destroyed, and we need to do it.

      I definitely need to learn how to get my message across. 

     

    You could start by not labelling everyone and listening to people from the "other" side.   Otherwise, you will only be producing content that "your" side will find interesting.  You want to make this election about race, electoral college, etc...if it helps you "feel the burn" less, so be it.  

    As someone who claims they like to deal in "facts" then you should closely look at the below:

    42% of ALL women voted for Trump

    4% more white COLLEGE-EDUCATED male and femal voters went for Trump

    37% of ALL millenials voted for Trump

    53% of ALL seniors over 65 voted for Trump

    26% of ALL hispanic voters went for Trump

    29% of ALL asian americans went for Trump

    Another fact:

    In the 2008 election, I voted third party.  I remember being called racist back then because I did not vote for a black president.  Today, I am racist for voting for a white man.  

    The mainstream media lost this election for Clinton.  As an independent, I heard NO policy reporting at all.  I heard only that Clinton was a criminal and Trump was a racist.  Would I watch media that reports policy positions?  Sure.  To your point...where can I find it?

    Few things in life are truly 50/50.

    This is possibly your least true statement...this election showed that we, as a nation, are closer to 50/50 than we have ever been.  Clinton winning the popular vote by less than 1/2 of 1% over Trump shows this.

    Some documentary ideas from this election:

    Why did 7,000,000 people vote 3rd party?  Why did the blue and red platforms not reach out to them?  What were their deciding issues?

    What happened to the "blue wall" we kept hearing about?  Perhaps people in Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, could shed some light on this?  

    What really drove white voters to the polls in record numbers?  Was it race, being tired of the liberal agenda being pushed onto them, etc?  (By the way, how DARE white voters go to the polls and participate in democracy!)

    Is this the start of the Republican party now representing blue collar voters voters? 

    Why did Trump get so many votes from Labor union voters?

    What ideas can we advance that people agree on regardless of party affiliation?

    I ended up using the Sedona LUT, i felt it was better suited for the music and rusty feel

     

     

    What lenses did you use to shoot this?  Looks great!

    @Ed_David, see this is what I mean.  If you are going to have people that are going to go out and data mine Twitter of all places and create a narrative in their head how do you combat that?  Then they are going to go to whatever alt right, Fox News, or whatever site reinforces what they already think.  They aren't going to look at data points that conflict with what they want to believe.

     

    Really?  Now the way I search for information needs some refinement too?  Sounds like you have a monmental task of getting your perfectly honest and authentic content through to people.  I like how you have pegged me as "alt-right" without even knowing me.  Registered independent, btw...and have voted democrat before.  Even wrote in my father once for president.

    Remember the 400 PERCENT INCREASE in death threats against Obama?  I mean the secret service had to come out and debunk that bit of reporting multiple times. 

    I would totally believe this to be true as well.  

    I'm bowing out of this conversation as I don't want to continue to be attacked by you on personal level (lack of understanding, really)...I hope the pain you are feeling heals and maybe this will even spur you to make great content that I will see one day.

    I haven't heard any of these calls for assassination.

    Do a quick search on twitter?  It may surprise you that there is quite a bit of hate coming from the "tolerant" lefties of the nation:

    Sorry timmyturntable you don't understand the videography field.  You don't understand art and emotion.  Otherwise enjoy your career making alt right movies.

     

    I learn so much about films and making them from you guys.  For that I am grateful. However, I know what art is and I have been moved by many a film or song.  I do not understand the emotions of women, but, I know my emotions.  The entirety of my "alt-right career" in making movies consists of ZERO films?  I make movies of my family to watch when they grow up...

    Perhaps you have me pegged like the media has pegged anyone that disagrees with them.  I have no agenda and wish you no ill will.  I'm sorry this post angered you...

    What I'm saying is that if the two halves could actually speak, without the media getting us emotionally charged, we may find there was middle ground we didn't even know we had, that both sides could acceptably and peacefully live with. 

     

    Well said...we may even find out we were never really "two halves" to begin with...more like "four quarters" :)

    Obviously you don't have children. 

    @Damphousse I actually do have two little girls that I devote my free time to spending time with and making family movies.  

    I would never let Trump NEAR them, even if he claims he is different at 70 than at 54.  But, of course, if that was my only voting criteria, it would have also eliminated Bill (I can have any woman I want) Clinton being around them either :)  We can agree here that neither is a picture of morality?  Although, in spite of Bill's "free time with the ladies" while he was in office, some would say he managed the country well.  Mabye Trump can as well.

    But if you think the average person on the street is cerebral and thinking stuff through you would be very wrong.

    We agree on this completely.

    And the media didn't give us anything

    But, not on this.  It seemed like this year, more than ever, the mainstream media's goal was to showcase how bad/vile/hateful/arrogant/ignorant the candidates were...almost in a celebratory sense.  A hateful tweet should not be the headline for the evening news.

    Manufacturing Consent, a doc about Noam Chomsky.  Explains mainstream media bias and censorship.  Or Glenn Greenwald just talked about this on Democracy Now.  

    Thanks Ed.  I will seek these out and watch these  :)  When the media becomes a tool / vehicle for governments to manipulate the people, we are in trouble...

    So was Jeb Bush, John Kasich, Ted Cruz, Chris Christie, Bernie Sanders.

    I would have felt much less hesitation voting for at least 3 of these guys :(

    @Liam  Thanks for the kind words (also, about the videos).  

    You are right, in a normal year, whoever lost would mope a bit and life would go on.  Trump would do well to reach out to those he offended and has scared...clarify how he will govern (not what he will say for shock value to make the headlines on the news and get free publicity). 

    The post-election attacks and hate crimes should be condemened by all, especially Trump.  It's also wrong that we are seeing calls for assassinations on Trump / his family. Hate is still hate and should be called out as such.

    No matter how someone voted, they are my American brother / sister...I just wish I could do more to be part of the solution.   I reject the "us good/them bad" slant of the mainstream media and look forward to something like @Ed_David is proposing.

    @Kisaha You nailed it...the vote I cast was for the lesser of the perceived evils.  Had John Edwards run again (1 known affair to Bill's 20), he would have had my vote :)  Or, anyone who believes in state's rights...which allows local laws to reflect the will of the local people...

    The mainstream media pits groups against each other and is creating a hostile enviroment.  The only soundbytes that make it through are the negative or offensive ones.  Most discouraging, as a Trump voter, the mainstream media has identified me as likely racist and uneducated.  It is this very "them bad/us good" reporting that drove voters to the polls in rural areas.  

    There is room at the table for everyone...different ideas, opinions, beliefs...it's the only way we form a better union and grow as a country.  

    I know in his past life TRUMP was a democrat, then independent and now Republican.  How he will be as president is unknown, but, he can be shown the door by voters if he sucks :) 

    @Ed_David Nothing moves people  more than true, geniuine content presented in a way that provokes thought and action.  I wish I had you guys abilities to tell stories and film them so beautifully.

    @Ed_David  I will keep in mind this is a film forum :)

    By the way, thank you for your Samung NX1 short...helped me determine it would be a good camera for what I do (film my family)...

    This election cycle, the media gave us TRUMP (the "monster you see") versus CLINTON (the "hidden/corrupt" monster).  I voted against Clinton, for Trump.  Bernie may have won, taping into some of the very same "forgotten" middle class anger that Clinton ignored.  But what do I know...I voted for Ron Paul and John Edwards once :) 

    This election cycle, the amount of negativity pushed at you was overwhelming.  No coverage of policies or anything of substance.  Regardless of political view, I feel Americans were short-changed on meaningful content...  Even now, the media is more worried about how their pundits missed "calling" the election right than reporting anything real.  People on the losing side were bound to be hurt, angry and scared...either way.  Even still, mainstream media is doing nothing to bring healing to the land... 

    Your call to making informed content, not based on ratings,  is exactly what is needed (how, where to distrubute is another thing altogether)...

    I know I'm rambling...just wanted you to know as someone who voted the other way...I share your hatred of the mainstream media and what they fed us for ratings...

    I agree with @Parker, Ricardo those are beautiful frames...  Can't wait to see your in camera settings for these.  Also, @ricardo_sousa11, count me in on any LUTs you want to sell to match your in camera settings.  Nice work!

    Here is my latest kid-friendly movie...Same settings as last time...but, used the M31 LUT.

    @ricardo_sousa11  Was scrolling through the old pages making sure I didn't miss anything on the in camera settings...Well somehow, I missed this pic below...

     

    Are you kidding me?  What a great look out of the NX1.  Would you mind detailing your in camera settings for this shot and any LUT / coloring combinations you might have used.  I have to shoot closer to this...

    Hello Sten,

    I actually run the files through EditReady and convert the to ProRes LT 422 files.  I usually just keep them in 4K and then run it through Final Cut Pro to put together the footage and apply the LUTs.  Is the method you suggest the method that you use?

    Finally got a chance to take the camera out and about over the weekend.  Here is our latest movie from a visit to the Pumpkin Patch.

    Same in camera settings as last time:  Gamma DR,  Color Red/Blue @ 1.0 and Green @ .95, Saturation -1, Sharpness -10, Contrast -3, Master Black 10, Luminance 16-235

     

    Samsung NX1 - Maximize the "RED" look

    In: Cameras

    Posted

    So, in the forums, people have noted that the sensor in the NX1 haves a similar look to the RED cameras.  Has any NX1 owners tried to maximize this effect so that the footage looks closer?  Regardless of how you "got" the look (camera settings, specific LUTs, coloring techniques)...

    If so, please share.
