the idea of vr games that could be less quest based and more about interacting with the real world is super interesting to me... and also super scary ?

Zach, what is it exactly that you’re trying to do right this moment — write, direct...? What else? what exactly is at the core of your creative talent that you want to share with people?

great points @kye i think that saying one can use any and all software options would get the most ppl involved! and all i care about is the finished product after all! if you get killer results out of FCPX, resolve, or whatever, who cares ???

cool idea!!! ill play ?

thats sicc as heck

wow, this is an amazing thread, rlly got me thinking. I was gonna post something smart but now my mind is elsewhere... trip on this: there isn’t a single image posted in a thread about cinematic color ?

@Snowbro pet people are weird ?

ATTN: A1EX

id bet that it is lol haha yeah... the caucasian mtn dogs can get huge, but the big male in the above video is 160-170lbs according to the owner... my doggee Jasper is 176lbs, so it's like Jasper with fur lol. but they look like german shepherds crossed with bears ? the caucasian shepherd above is gonna grow tho, even after 2 years he'll fill out a lot and prolly be around 200lbs ? also, its true that one day someones gonna make a hello kitty branded camera and im gonna buy it do u think this thing shoots prores

welcome @Rinad Amir~!! ? @kye is right, we should have t-shirts... its a pretty badass club ? i cant actually *help* you with resolve like these other folks (lol), but i did make a short film with it and i love it – no way im going back to the alternatives! im on the adobe $9.99/mo photoshop plan!!! i feel like im beating the system!!! ?

@thebrothersthre3 i currently live in the san jacinto mountains about 2.5 hrs east of LA so... i can go down the mtn for whatever, but my resources are mainly here right now, so im trying to think out of the box about locations, and how to pull off the look i want, cuz if i can make that shoot happen where i live, it would save me a TON of money+time+effort NOT going to LA or similar that being said, the priority is making it look good, so ill do whatever it takes!!! ?

i *might* lose it if that happened thats smart as heck YOU ARE SO RIGHT. THATS HUGE *explosions* ::boom:: harbor, awesome!!! for sure, like... all the best places for this would never let me shoot there ? but im still lookin, and one thing ive learned about independent producing is that it sure doesnt hurt to ask, and you never kno, you might be surprised~! its happened before~! this is some advanced thinking, which could change everything... to be honest, the success of the aesthetic of this piece is about it feeling *real*... almost like this: Bane is real, and he's broadcasting a message from his lair, one of his henchmen is filming it, and he's walking around talking while stuff happens in the background: his goons are moving around busily, clearly *working* on some kind of task so, im not doing an establishing shot at all, it just starts with camera on the masked man. its not "cinematic" in that way, that we'd have the storytelling of an establishing shot, u kno what i mean? all that has to be packed into the location, but that comes together pretty fast with some water and set dressing... u guys r awesome thank u soooooooooooooo much

so, not to change the subject back to dogs, but i just found out that these exist i shrieked when i saw this puppy. HES A TINY BABY JUST A VERY BIG ONE

@AlexTrinder96 omg i need that #want

haha yeah same. i was like fs700, thats a little out of my price ran–OH SNAP under $2k used now??!?! ?

also: @kye those are seriously all good ideas, thank you!! particular words that havent come into my searching lexicon like 'railway', 'abandoned', and 'tunnel' got me thinking... anyway, the idea you pose of "a long wall" is right on point – that was kinda my original idea. remember that its fairly dark in my shot, and say that the set is lit mainly by practical work lights – we dont need to see a ton of background, i could shoot in a place like this hang some spooky chains, hose everything down, add some kind of moving water element in the shot... annnnd that could work. but i dont have access to a place this cool looking where i live at all, and if im going to LA to shoot, like i said the skys the limit and i could shoot anywhere ? ...still thinkin this thru lol aaand like you said, kye, sound will add a ton~! echoey footsteps/ambience, dripping sounds, water running... for sure ?

it really does huh ? yes, exactly. basically, im trying to get creative for how i can do this without leaving the mountain i live on or the vicinity. if im going to LA to film it then i have a million options, but itd be WAAYYY easier to film it near where i live, so any kind of out of the box thinking that comes up im interested in too i already have some cast and audio/visual ppl to work with here, so thats a good start~! edit: whoa wth why is that underlined and blue

I want a set like this, but i cant quite afford it yet ? unlike this vertical structure however, my set does not need to be high, it needs to be wide im just doing, more or less, one horizontally panning shot of a guy talking and walking, while stuff happens in the background – extras move around, etc. i want the feeling of dark, and plenty of water so it feels and looks wet, and a location where, within my frame, it looks like it could be underground i would rlly appreciate any thoughts... the right google search is on the tip of my tongue... like, i dont know anything about reality: isnt there a place in every city that does, uhm, something with water, that looks vaguely like the video above? like i searched 'sewer plant' and this isnt what i had in mind. ..i dont want it to seem toxic ? and, like i said, i want underground, but in theory i could shoot in a spot like the above at night with practicals and no one would know the difference. it just looks like... sewage, whereas i want water finally, the ubiquitous trope of sewer "tunnels" is useless for this: no tunnels. i need a bigger type of set for the actors to move around in... any thoughts guize??????????

so it seems like people know the show Empire in the US, but not elsewhere... makes sense~! just for the record, if i ever make one million dollars in a year, working on a famous show in hollywood, i will absolutely be thrilled and declare Mission Accomplished™

thank uuuu

wow...... uhhhhmm this camera is really something. it does all KINDS of stuff ? im gonna look more into it. jvc was not on my radar, but i think this thing is pretty dope. any camera that can produce the color red (*cough*) is ok in my book~! it also seems to resolve a whopping amount of detail in a fairly pleasing way @BTM_Pix thank you for the headlines, i read thru them, got to the end, and had this odd feeling... then i started again at the top - Super 35 sensor - MTF mount ...what tha heck??! ? thankfully that video explained a bit, but im not sure i get how it all works.... pretty amazing tho~! i guess i just thought the m43 lenses wouldnt cover that sensor but... i guess they do? or close to it in some cases, and then you can use that digital crop feature? is that kinda right?

nice work, @Alt Shoo~! video looks good, not familiar with the camera tho... would you mind underscoring a few of its finer points, why you use it, etc...? im super ignorant about options in cameras with that form factor!

names like CNN? ? his story sounded RIDICULOUS to everyone, and the msm went with it because they *wanted* it to be true this appalling story thats the saddest part

ohh, i get it, is that an option when you set up the poll? good idea, my bad! also, 17 million viewers is a ton these days so... a mil a year might be pretty reasonable https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/empire-breaking-barriers-overseas-viewers-792010 oh, and one more thing: turns out that the showrunner of Empire is Lee Daniels, director of one of the most appalling movies ever made, Precious

THANK GOD for THAT yeah, its amazing. i think he was willing to potentially testify against two innocent guys too. he was gonna take this all the way to the bank hes obviously super delusional and all that, but the reason he got caught is that hes a terrible liar – the whole thing sounded like horseshit from the very beginning to everyone i know... but somehow not the mainstream media ? anyway, what if he WASNT a terrible liar... what if he was really smart? he couldve clean gotten away with this the part ~I~ cant believe the most is that he had a hollywood DREAM JOB making over a million dollars a year!!! people would literally kill for that job!! WHAT??!??? then again, with the help of the media he'll prolly turn the whole thing around in the future, somehow still be a victim, write a book, sell the movie rights, etc. its really getting cartoony out here folks! the point of my poll is that i cant believe an actor on a show that ive never heard of makes so much money, but obviously other ppl have heard of Empire, so i stand corrected ? edit: oh wow, it has 5-6 million viewers... thats a lot these days do you guys remember seinfeld? remember the big season finale? how many ppl do you think watched that show, that last episode? i looked it up recently and my head exploded
