For reference, the 1080p screen works just fine.

I am building a workstation for color correction and I have a simple question about screen resolution. Blackmagic recommends 1920x1200 but they say 1920x1080 may also work. Does anyone have...

I ended up using about 4 chroma keys and a luma key. All with low thresholds and some feathering. The original, non-youtube compressed video does not look great around the feet. But I think it's good...

I have been working on this set extension 0:10-0:20. I would like to hear your opinions and suggestions. There was just blue sky behind him. Well, I...

Awesome! Let me know if/when you find it.

I just finished my first semester of film school. Well, just the final project, there are still 2 weeks left. This was my first time working with "real" actors. The whole process was very...

So, I found out that I was running too many capacitors in the circuit so the bulb was being overdriven to about 900 watts. So yeah, I think I figured it out now so whenever I get another bulb the...

select area with pen tool.

make white to transparent gradient

apply gradient.


Alternatively, print photo on plastic, take photo of photo. ;)

Nothing too fancy, but here you go. BTW lots of clone stamping, plus a little brushwork with a tablet.

quicktime h.264, bitrate around 5-10mbps for 720, 10-15 for 1080.

Just saw this and I laughed:

Film.

The indie look is typically done in curves. Just raise the shadows to emulate fogged film and dial in the colors with RGB curves. BTW shadows are tinted blue green like in #6. There are also...

I should add that I have some cheap ebay softboxes and they are falling apart. I've had them for about a year now and have used them on about 15 small productions. Overall decent value though, and...

What are you shooting? Do you need softboxes? Hard lights can always be diffused, are are quick to set up, and cheaper usually.

Rick, You realize you're comparing a digital camera at iso 16,000 to film at probably iso 400 right? I do understand that you are comparing the noise structure, but this seems a little unbalanced.

Just so we're all clear, I have no intentions of using a 5K anytime soon. This is all hypothetical. I am all for HMIs, especially since they put out less heat that tungsten. I guess you could say I'm...

Great. I guess I'll stick to <2Ks for a while. Maybe learn all this high power stuff later.

Yep, I'm talking about generators here. Just wondering the path the electricity takes from the generator to the light. Can a honda 6500 even run a 5K?

Super noob question here: How do I power a 5K with a generator? The honda 6500 looks like it only has a 30A on it. BTW I know nothing about power distro and am just curious. (so you don't have to...

Yep, the daylight conversion ones. I was looking at the ones for the mickey moles and also in fay lights. Looks like a cheap way for some daylight kick.

Can anybody confirm the light loss when using dichroic filters? I read somewhere that is is 1 stop.

I just used stock wiring. The wires are still good. The fresnel still works as a tungsten unit. I tested the hmi bulb at a local rental shop and they said it was dead.

UPDATE: The light worked. After a whole lot a hassle with wiring I have a 600w HPS magnetic ballast hooked up. It worked great for about 30 minutes. The lamp got waayyy too hot though and killed the...

FYI 6 feet of 15mm rod is about $14 from mcmaster carr (if you have stuff to cut it with)
