PannySVHS Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Too bad the shooting and footage section barely gets attention it should, even though it would be the best place to dicuss, showcase and enjoy the usage of gear. Using gear and showing the results is the best thing one could actually do with gear after all. That would be so good! heart0less, KnightsFan and kaylee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leslie Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 something we could try in the new year perhaps, i guess kinda like a new years resolution ? the forum is a bit quiet at the moment which is to be expected heart0less and PannySVHS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kye Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Yes, although it's a tech board more than an art board, I'm assuming that's how Andrew wants it. My attempts to get people to shoot more were only mildly successful, but from my own perspective I am seeing enough shortcomings of what I shoot that I don't need other people to point out where I need to improve lol. I am intending to come back to a lot of the threads I've started but for the moment I'm just chilling for the holiday and enjoying relaxing. I am about to start a new thread on the Orange/Teal look and how it relates to film-making, how it relates to film, and how to do it in post, as I've been thinking a lot about that recently and have fallen down the rabbit-hole pretty far (eg, YUV channel mixer vs Hue v Sat vs Hue v Hue vs RGB curves... that far!).

The whole youtube camera verses camera thing bores me too death. Much more interesting for me, is seeing what can be done with them. I'm interested in the orange/teal look as well So i'll be jumping on the band wagon, not so keen on doing much in post and not having a lot of coin this xmas i confined myself to half a dozen gel filters. No lights yet ? but my brother owes me money, if he comes through in the next couple of weeks, i'll getting the sirui anamorphic and some other bits and pieces. kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightsFan Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I'm trying to watch and comment on as many topics there as I can in the future. Being a tech/gear forum just means that we might consider evaluating each other's content with a special eye for tech and gear instead of just the story and art side.

Are they lying to me ? and if so what else are they lying about ? Maybe the earth is flat after all. These are questions that don't need to be posed this close to new years eve, i tells you. There are 30,000 + subscribers, i regularly see about 10 people post content. I presume of the forum base, a bunch of those people make movies professionally, another bunch do wedding and events, another bunch are probably like me and having a go. Maybe @Andrew Reid could do a survey on subscriber demographics. Professional/ non Professional, camera used , that sort of thing. I think the statistical break down of that could be pretty interesting. Regarding evaluating each other's content are we critiquing ? because if someone posts something from a red and i comment that looks great, did you use a sony, you just know that's going to start a flame war ?

Professional: because the vast majority of my income comes from working in the film industry ....or.... Non-professional: because only a tiny proportion of that income is due to me operating a camera. And this is after all “a camera forum”.

Well... too be honest, sometimes some of the people who frequent these boards are straight shooters with their opinions, and I am a bit reluctant to post my work, which is basically all real estate videos up until the point, on these boards. But I will certainly do my part to view more work that gets posted by members on the forums going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will certainly do my part to view more work that gets posted by members on the forums going forward. Footage is a tricky thing. For many of us our best footage is unavailable for some reason. For the pros amongst us there are contractual limitations, and there are professional reputations at stake when quickly posting anything. For people like me who shoot personal work of friends and family, it’s more personal and sharing our family videos is a bit odd. Most YT people don’t share video of their families, especially the children. So that means that what is left is our second-best work, which is pretty difficult to share on forums such as this, partly because it’s a film-making forum so the level of scrutiny is very high, but also it’s the internet, and these forums aren’t immune to savage criticism from people that are all talk and don’t actually shoot anything themselves. It’s a tough thing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, as far as I can tell there is no way for me to make it available in Australia, which is very unfortunate. It seems a little odd that that isn't an option. kye and IronFilm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
