@Liam uhhh yeah, @mercer and @Mark Romero 2 make some v good points coming from the perspective of......... uhhmm reality lol i was kind of picturing a lil more CZW than WWE ? make everything as easy and cheap as possible. to paraphrase robert rodriguez, you dont need a good venue, you need a SHITTY venue. do it outside! summers coming

i like your idea @Liam! i think the fundamentals are there... one night, more of a party than an awards show (?), sounds like fun! what i would say is, find a venue, get some pricing, see about guest speakers (not the ones that antifa shows up for unless youre going that direction), and see if this event can be produced for little to no money. stuff adds up! if youre trynna keep it frugal, an informal BYOB thing could be cool! feels very grassroots-y and although ofc in ohio you dont have the filmmaker base of LA, in SoCal youre competing with EVERYTHING. fookin EVERYTHING. virtually endless options for entertainment. so, rallying ppl to go to a "happening" is a whole different story... and its a huge accomplishment to get any attention at all. so theres a major silver lining there! additionally: make it look sicc. the graphic design of channel 101 dot com had me clicking away in .25 seconds... if its the irony/comedy channel then ok, but you want to LOOK professional in your advertising... the only way you rlly can with no money right lol anyway, i say go for it! i might go if i was around and thats saying a lot bc i hate doing things

hear hear!

jeebus. better snap up an nx1 while u can huh ?

id loooove to see this i bet NX1 raw video would look DOPE

yeah man, this is what i expected to see from you w this camera... do you like it?? it seems like the deep rich color is perf for your style

yeah i agree. i mean if needed id be doing both – a thumbnail breakdown of the shots, then go into the previz software last time i tried to the software was pretty clunky and my computer sucked... now theres smartphone apps that blow that stuff away. unreal in general i feel like storyboarding is a super conflict between right brain/left brain... or something. its the old patting your head and rubbing your stomach times a million. but after i get the most BASIC thumbnails down on paper – which in fact are perfectly useable as storyboards themselves, they show focal length, blocking, etc. – then its a whole different situation and its easy. its the initial transfer of words (even words that ~I~ wrote) to cinema language that can be tough!!

yeah id love to see what people are doing with this. my storyboards for my project rn are pencil on paper lol. NOT that theres anything wrong with that~! ?

oh SNAP! I forgot to tell u guys that i fixed my mac... by doing a scorched earth clean install of high sierra! and? it runs SOOOoooooooo much better i know its a pain in the butt to back up all your data, but my late 2013 imac is running like new. HUGE difference all those OS installs on top of installs were messing a lot of stuff up. big difference!!! just a heads up guys ?

i hear ya. id like to add some noise to the thing im working on rn, but itll just get wasted by youtube at 1080p, but maybe at 4k itll be alright ? gonna do some tests...

@kidzrevil lookin good man, i thought youd like ml raw. its such a nice thick image to work with how are you doing the upscale? what was so time consuming im scared lol

hi mercer! any way you could post a link to a .dng frame from that shot? id like to compare...

i am NOT going to post on this until ive seen the film and there are more comments

OOOoooooo i kno what this issssss i cant wait to see it but i dont have netflix yeah, TOTALLY do what Jonesy said, IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THIS IS JUST WATCH IT. DONT GOOGLE IT

the drone would have its propellors OFF, on a jib~! no flying indoors lol id just like to match the footage to the night shot going up in the sky cuz its ~all one movement~ that im hacking together in post edit: see this is why i need you guys, i just got a CL message from a guy who has "a Mavic Pro drone which is great in low light!"

ha, the DoP is me, im shooting the rest of this short with ml raw on my 5d3 i swear the rest of this v short film is easy shooting – the cameras locked down 90% of the time im gonna see if i can get my friend to do everything i need drone wise for $650. im fine with that, ill find somewhere else to save a few hundred bucks lol maybe ill do the indoor jib shots on my 5d3 and make life easier on my drone guy.... trynna figure all that out rn

????? thanks i though so ? excellent point, we're discussing that lol thats what i wanted to hear! thanks so much to all you guys

ok ill ask lol: how much do you guys think i should be paying for this? my "friend" with the inspire 2 x4s wants $650... but then i looked it up and i was like wait a min i could rent that drone for a WEEK for $650 BUT ive never flown a drone... is doing this myself a crazy idea? i put up a CL ad to get some other rates note: im not saying $650 is too much, im just poor

perf! ???

it means theyre gonna fuck us again! ?

better example, heres some footage at dusk that i could grade down (link should start playing at about 7 min)

thats the plan! not golden hour, but as SOON as the city lights come on, theres still a ton of light in the sky then it should work ok, mind you the cameras pointed down so the (not dark) sky wont be in the shot... i hope that works lol. ive messed around with some screen grabs of other ppls drone footage in post in photoshop and it seems to be working ok. and im willing to go nuts on it with power windows or whatever in post bc its a short effect – a few seconds this is not amazing looking, but for my purposes i think itll be ok, especially since ill shoot before its actually dark ?

ok... im starting to wrap my brain around this no way im flying a drone inside – just thought id ~ask~ since i have seen lil drones flying around the apple store, but im sure those cameras suck lol i like @DaveAltizer's idea of drone on a jib with the propellors off for indoors, and then my footage will match up a lot easier, cuz this is gonna be one big movement: up, through the ceiling, through "neighboring apartments", through the roof, into the sky. im gonna cut it all together and vfx it into submission update: my one friend has the P4 (not Pro), and my other friend has the Inspire 2 with the X4s camera are either of these good options, or should i hire a pilot with a specific package? looks like the P4 wont cut it for low light (i need a night shot, at dusk or dawn), and the x4s is the 1" sensor, right? thats not ideal huh hmmm...
