[manifesto] I simply HATE modern cameras...
Xavier Plagaro Mussard replied to Emanuel's topic in Cameras
I totally agree. I have a Fuji X-T3, I don't record often, each time is a PITA. I am invested in lenses, otherwise I would buy Blackmagic Cameras which are the real alternative to all those japanese no sense menus! -
99% of GoPro users are skiers, skaters or drummers. Most of them don't even know what Super 8 is!

I watched it yesterday with my daughter. The beginning of the film is a kind of a looong trailer, then fortunately it goes a bit slower. Too many jumps, names, etc. But we liked it anyway!

What a great guy, great cam! -
"Looking" professional and how important is it?
Xavier Plagaro Mussard replied to newfoundmass's topic in Cameras
Gimbal + Slow Motion + Background music on post = A way to get bland results with no effort or ideas. I am in a video editing guys group on FB, 90% of the videos they post are random clips with background music. Ten years ago AI can do a better job at editing. Unsecure clients are always worried about all of the useless things, how big your camera is, how well you are dressed, how long the video will be. You paid a pro to not have to think about those things, don't you? -
Color detail issues in Fujifilm video files
Xavier Plagaro Mussard replied to Attila Bakos's topic in Cameras
Wow, that is one discovery! Shows that specs are one thing, reality another. -
It can't be described better!

I don't think the camera plays an important part in the final look of a well produced movie or series. The camera is a tool and pros work around the limits of their tools. If 90% of the look was the camera, one DP would be as good as another one. And set design, dressing, color grading would all be nearly useless. There is a reason end credits last 5-10 minutes. Of course all this reverse in the case of the videomaker, a situation in which one person is responsible for everything. There the camera plays a great role.

Editing is a fascinating but smokey art. It seams to slowly blow away when you try to talk about it, a bit as waking up and trying to remember your dream, imho. I don't know how much it is repeatable. I always felt that I haven't studied enough of it. Your idea of detecting cuts with Resolve is great! I am on a video editing FB group in Italy. Not once editing is talked about. Just usual Mac/PC, GPUs, Premiere problems, which NLE to choose, how to deliver to some TV, etc.

Until a couple of years ago. Now people with their full name and with a profile picture of their family, posts in FB wishing death to someone else. It is sad, more than anything. But adults are turning into rabid teenagers with zero responsibility.

I also thought it was going to be more physical weight loss, which wouldn't hurt either, at least for me!

Do you understand that variable NDs can be used with any brand of lenses or cameras?
-
Sounds good to me!

I hate Canon marketing tactics, but the truth is this R5C will sell like hot biscuits at 4500€. Canons are not the only cameras with thermal limits, to have no recording limit, the 8K, if they don't destroy the image quality, the camera will sell. Plus Canon makes money with the lenses.

Who needs two hour long 4K50p/60p takes?

DJI Pro Cinema Camera Announcement 20 October
Xavier Plagaro Mussard replied to androidlad's topic in Cameras
At least if just have to stabilize the sensor + lens, and the electronic body makes weight. It will probably work great for hand held, not so well on a drone. -
DJI Pro Cinema Camera Announcement 20 October
Xavier Plagaro Mussard replied to androidlad's topic in Cameras
They probably bought Hasselblad for something. Let's see how it turns out! -
Hi Andrew! Thank for everything you did, thank for being honest in a field where making easy money was possible and have a great RESET! You are smart enough to sort your life out! I am moving out of Rome and going back to Madrid, the city where I growed up. It will be a big change too.

Narrative is so hard. Actors, locations, sound, actors, scripts, actors...

It's a hard road for Nikon that never showed much interest on video. Even if they were the first to put video on a DSLR!

Rode Wireless Go II - 2 channel receiver with inbuilt recorder
Xavier Plagaro Mussard replied to Anaconda_'s topic in Cameras
I bought them and I am very happy with the set. The only thing I can't understand is that if I try to shout and overload the mics, it has a limiting function. It doesn't sound great, but it doesn't sound that bad either considering the levels. Of course I intend to use them for calm interviews, so I don't think I will ever send them into limiting. The thing about the limiter is that is not switchable anywhere. But I really don't think you need the safety track at all in most situations. The safety track works with just one mic, because having two mics mixed on a mono track is a recipe for disaster, I think.
