i looked up "wax museum" but the pictures were way too lifelike smh. dont worry i found one

since when is "good enough" good enough? there isnt a camera on the market that has skin tones as good as im getting with 5d3 raw. its the most lifelike image that money can buy! alexa skin tones are the most overrated thing on the plant earth. they make people look a) dead and b) yellow and thats the gold standard right now SAD!

heres a duane hanson sculpture for comparison, but ironically these statues look more lifelike than those arri shots

wow, @kye, awesome~! thank you for the visual aides!!! i get it now ? edit: ykno, ive been looking at arri footage for awhile now, but this is eye opening > their skin tones are super homogeneous... almost too flat...? there must be a lot of magic going on to put those hues all right on that line, and i get why they do it, but... the people in the arri shots look somewhat... mannequinesque. like, can you imagine them blushing? they are kinda wax like ?

kye, what do you mean by "the line"?

@Ilia3101 looks awesome!! great work!!!

i hear ya! for me, in general, i want to get a feeling for the basics for something like this, then go explore all the zillions of ways to do things my suggestion is, just make a simple lil project, such as regrading existing footage like @scotchtape said (great way to see how much better resolve does with color), and when youre grading just use serial nodes. all the node options are complex, but i made a short without knowing anything about any of them... and i did a lot of coloring in post. buncha stuff. and everyone loves the color. its colorful lol point is, it was a GREAT learning experience, and NOW im ready to get into the more challenging aspects of the program

@kye the paid upgrades for MacOS (formerly OSX) are a thing of the past – its all free now, all the time~!

It's that time of year again!! stacks actually looks pretty sweet. anybody download it yet? hows your system running? any issues?

dont violate copyrights guys its very simple!!!! dont be like this guy!!!! sure, his video hasnt been taken down IN EIGHT YEARS, but dont do this!!! iz bad!!!

@mercer yeah, i made my short in resolve, its easy once you get the hang of it!! as far as color in acr vs resolve: it IS different, but... its darn similar. one thing ive seen for sure is that resolve gives a render with slightly more detail – i did some comparisons and thats what i found. but the difference isnt dramatic grading from ml raw in acr feels more different than it is, i think because im always using a super flat bmd profile in resolve, building up an image from what is virtually a gray rectangle, compared with the punchy saturated look youre greeted with in acr

actually ive never used premiere with ml raw... when i first started screwing around with the ml files, figuring them out, i used acr through photoshop to grade, exported as tif files, then opened the files as an image sequence. so ghetto i know! ?

@mercer, just wondering, are you not happy with resolve...? every now and then ill use ACR for a clip, but i have no "workflow" cuz i only do it occasionally ? i still love my 5d3 raw too!! ???

omg this MAKES NO SENSE ever seen anything like this before??? WHAT!!! ?

i dont wanna change the subject, but greg sesteros audiobook for the disaster artist is amazing. its not the movie, its his book, and he does an AMAZING tommy impression the whole time. some priceless moments, check it out

hmm. does this happen to other ppl? ive only had a couple resolve crashes over the last few versions, but its when im pushing my system to the limit edit: on an ancient 2013 imac with 8GB of ram ?

yeah, he beats any alarm system lol. you see a 176lb dog in the window... just move on to the next house

i tried to watch the video but i couldnt... its a 20 min adobe ad. wow are they great. we're so lucky to have their great subscription service im all in with resolve!! just try it guys!! do a short lil project in there to get the hang of it! its not that hard, youll see! next is fusion~! if i could get on the photoshop only plan id be so happy lol

omg that video is amazing is this a tommy wiseau side project?

lookit my doggee!!!

i disagree all the directors shooting big features on film are not doing it because the color is the same

you should buy a sony rx10 ii

looks so nice!

fwiw i did notice that the new mini has hdmi 2.0, so if youre trying to get 4k at 60hz out to a tv, i guess thatll work?
