Or... Two possible donors are awoken, in the middle of the night. They both hang up the phone and look at their beautiful wives lying in bed, one chooses sleep, the other chooses donation. He gets up, gets dressed and goes outside into the night chill. There are no taxi's in sight, he runs. Use the heartbeat and ticking clock idea, until your donor arrives and donates. The girl lives, he goes home. His wife awaits him with a smile. They go back to bed. Time lapse the rising sun in the window, pull back and see we are now with the the guy who chose sleep. His wife isn't in bed with him anymore. He gets up, goes outside to get the paper... He gets hit by a truck. The only possible donor, already gave blood, he bleeds out and dies at the hospital.

Or... Streamline your idea and keep it simpler. When your hero weighs his options, he chooses sleep. We then learn about dahlia and her family, without the blood donation... She dies. At that point your hero awakens from a dream, looks at the clock and sees that only 5 minutes has passed. He gets up, gets dressed and runs to the hospital. His heart pounds. Cut to the hospital, the clock ticks, but it clicks backwards... As if it is ticking down. Finally he arrives at the hospital and donates the blood. Dahlia lives. The end.

Remember, you're idea is technically a beat the clock thriller.

I would crosscut between the two phone calls, the two options, you never know who is connected to who and then proceed with the climax of who was saved. Use the beating of his heart, when he's running to coincide with the ticking of a clock in the hospital. In fact, I probably wouldn't show Sarah until the end. Make the audience feel for and root for dalia. And then do the reveal that her donor never showed. Show Sarah, happy and healthy as dalia lies there dead, covered by a sheet.

I have a set in d mount that I use with my Pentax q7... Great lenses.

I think A6000 owners have Panasonic and the G7 to thank for this firmware update.

Nice!!! They seem like the perfect combo for either the D16 or the BMPCC. I loved the shots with the 10mm and the flowers... The flares were awesome.

Very nice. The BMPCC footage looks excellent. And the RX100ii holds up pretty damn well. Congrats!!!

It's pretty damn close. The very first moving shot I noticed a difference, but that was really it. Maybe a little more contrast with the protune and a hair more blue in the sky. Your gimbal shots are great. How much does that go for?

I think you're overthinking this. But, in some ways, especially the original, I think the Vegas downsample looks the best... Even better than the 4K. I notice it in the textures of the concrete balcony, specifically. The whole image looks weightier as well. If anything, I think you helped me decide that 4K downsampled to 1080 is the best way to deliver 4K footage.

Seriously, I asked the same question last week for Mac. It seams Christina is on the right track with Neat Video, but Dark Energy is supposed to be excellent as well, but more expensive, but I think there is a discount code through no film school.

Plug in more lights...

Lafilm, do you have a distribution deal? Zak, has been kind enough to answer any questions on his. If you do, I would love to hear more about it.

What's nice about that yashinon, is that it looks pretty good right out of the box. If you need a quick turnaround time, that is a nice lens to have. The color and contrast are well balanced.

Thanks Ebrahim, I'll have to test that.

I am new to post work and I found Resolve to be Greek to me. I am usually pretty good with figuring out programs and how to do effects and such. But with Resolve, it took me a tutorial to figure out how to import footage, I didn't realize I had to input where the source footage was before I could access it. It just seems like a little bit of overkill for my needs. But thanks for the help, it has been invaluable. I'll have to give Neat a go. I have read that people usually do their noise reduction before they correct or grade... Is that true and is there a reason for that?

Yeah, I would imagine a denoiser would be a necessity if you're an industrial, or commercial filmmaker, just in case. I don't mind a little grain, or soft footage... I think it looks more filmic. Anyway, thanks for your thoughts, guys.

I recently downloaded the trial of FCX and I am very happy with it. The color options are a little basic, but very simple to use. After I license the full program, I will probably pick up the Color Finale plugin and I was also thinking about a denoiser. Do you denoise every shot in your color correction/grading process?

I think the example with eyeball looks pretty good.

Has anyone used this plugin for FCX? I know NEAT and Denoiser II are the big dogs, but I am looking for something a little cheaper.

1 - D 2 - C or D 3 - D interesting test. I found scene 2 to be the hardest to decide. i wrote C or D but I also kinda liked A. am intrigued to learn the results.

Oh yeah, it looks great.

Is that one model the girl from breaking amish?

Yeah, ns, obviously they're not going to make it. But, conceptually, more consumers would be excited about a new FD line, that is backwards compatible, than they are with the current eos-m line.
