  1. Jared shot this on a BMPCC original btw, with a fairly teeny tiny lighting package (a few redheads and a few small LED panels). Show what can be done with almost nothing!
  2. Nah, I wasn't charging anything for it, I just loaned my Feelworld monitor to my DoP friend for free. (and he was using it with a RED ONE)
  3. What he is saying is that there is a little bit more nuance to it than the black and white of "clipping vs no clipping". A teeny bit of clipping like in the first image is extremely likely to be "ok", while the clipping in the last image with the blue audio waveform is completely destroyed audio. They're both "clipping", but the nature of each is completely different to each other. Thus why the phrase "a little bit of clipping" can kinda make sense in the context, I understood what he meant.
  4. Yes, it is easy to have a natural bias to what you can measure vs what you can't measure.
  5. Got great lenses. Got great stills cameras. Got great color science.
  6. This subforum doesn't get as much traffic as the main forum. Sony UWP-D11 is the best "no budget" wireless. Next step up is a very large leap in cost, such as Lectrosonics/Wisycom/AudioLtd/Zaxcom/etc You also may want to consider upgrading the stock lavs to OST Lavs. http://www.oscarsoundtech.com/services.html If you can wait a little then get the brand new Zoom F8n when it starts shipping. Otherwise, if on an extremely tight budget then get a Zoom F4 instead. http://ironfilm.co.nz/which-sound-recorder-to-buy-a-guide-to-various-indie-priced-sound-recorders-in-2017/
  7. Same but with a monopod! The ultra frugal emergency "steadicam"
  8. Yes, there is a lot to know for someone new to this. Thus I feel a person needs to first become "unconsciously competent" (after first going through the earlier phases of "unconsciously incompetent" and "consciously incompetent" and "consciously competent") before they can say "fvck the numbers!"
  9. Nah, it has at least 5.5 stops! Look in the shadows, there is another half stop hiding there that you didn't count.
  10. It is extremely easy to identify these bots thanks to the links they're using. There appears to always be at least two kinds of links with every post: 1) going back to the source material (as the bot couldn't write this by itself), which you could easily find via google anyway 2) a clearly totally unrelated link, which is the purpose of the bot, to spam these links all over the internet. Solution: ban the bots. If the threads are empty with no replies, then delete them. (but if they've created a bit of a discussion like this one, perhaps leave it running, but edit the top post from the OP)
  11. haha, that was "my first" ever video camera I ever used! As I owned a Nikon D50 which couldn't do video at all, but my girlfriend (still with her!) has a D90. So for the first 6 months or so of my film studies I bounced between using my gf's D90 or my sister's T2i. Until finally I purchased my own Panasonic GH1
  12. I'm surprised this thread doesn't have more interest! As it should have some interest to most people in this forum. For instance any film shoot! (well, any bigger than super small one many band shoots) As all shoots could do with more monitoring options. Plus the people who wish to stream themselves (with something better than a smartphone) must be a fairly sizable chunk of the community as well. So you mean "I.292" rather than H.265?
  13. I used one of those for a while! Back in the Early-Mid 2000's. Cutting edge for its time. Crazy how even late 2000's I was still thinking how "big" a 3ish inch screen was!! ha, but today's standards that is unacceptably small.
  14. For the lazy (like me), to save people a link click:
  15. As I guy with a Nikon lens collection already, the further its price drops, the more I get tempted to buy it... But what do you think about say the Nikon D7500 instead?
  16. What is the name of this YouTuber?
  17. 90% sure that was a typo and you meant H.265?
  18. Auto level *and* a safety track? Seems over the top. I'd stop using auto level. Auto level is bad bad news as it will drive up the noise floor (both of the device and the ambiance) during the quieter spots. Set a conservative gain value for what you think the scene will be, and use the safety track. Paste a screen shot of the audio waveforms, if you're not trusting your ears (and it seems so, otherwise you wouldn't be asking), then use your eyes.
  19. Maaaaybe maybe 10bit in 2K? Give more resolution options for matching with features shot on a Venice in 2K.
