100% agreed. The producer who sells the job (many of you in most cases), it's their job to set and manage expectations and to build the value case for what they provide. If you are taking jobs for...

"Costs you nothing to provide"

Doug, not sure if you read the part where I said this was a live stream we were producing from out of state and I had a camera op in Las Vegas hired?
The local...

My main head these days IS the 20 year old Sachtler DV6 SB. It totally doesn't work with my modern cameras so I've been forced to break out the DVX100B lately.

Product of the Chinese to English Brand and Term random word generator app?

"Fondly remembers days when producers actually hired audio professionals instead of DIYing it."

Cool product but I will never rely on 2.4Ghz for anything that matters. I have two 2.4GHz systems...

We don't have to go back too far in time to recall when Adobe and Apple were at war with each other over all kinds of things besides editing programs.
I'm sure that has permeated the culture at...

For me, Zebras work fine, I just find them flickering all over my EVF to be obnoxious and at times, they interfere with what I need to see in the EVF when running and gunning.
I MUCH prefer a...

It's pretty clear that everyone in the production business, short of perhaps Zaxcom and their users, hopes that Zaxcom's patent claim is litigated into oblivion.
The way their claims have been...

It's apparent that since Adobe went to the subscription model, one could observe that the reliability of Premiere has actually decreased significantly, for many generations
of bloat...er..software...

Ahh, one of those people!

Definitely wouldn't be the first time Apple makes a monumentally stupid strategic move. Part of being a long time Apple user is looking back on all of the times
the mothership made huge decisions...

That's what I'll miss the most, just cruising the aisles there and coming across some weird, random thing. The first consumer drone I ever saw was for sale at Frys quite a few years ago.
First LED...

Hopefully their management structure and business finances are good. Selling a lot of merchandise (I used to manage Circuit City stores in thge 80s) is meaningless if your margins suck and the...

Fully agree I hate Windoze and Microsoft, but my business partner is a Windows certified engineer and a Ph.D. who knows the finer points pretty well. If my PCs do dumb PC things, which I know they...

Not me. Majority of my editing is basic multicam, which my present hardware and FCP X versions handle just fine. I don't do much compositing or tons of layers, graphics in FCP X so all of the hot rod...

It's a SOOC gamma so the same exposure parameters as REC709, protect your highlights. If you want to push and get creative with grades, don't use S-Cinetone. It's designed
for handing off footage...

Doug:

How do you charge the client for the prompter when they have refused to pay for a prompter and you bring it out to save the day?
Do you tell the client, "I am now going to charge you XX...

I've shot several dance films for various directors. Just a caution, "Low Key" doesn't mean underexposed.
I shot a film quite a few years ago for a known director with an amazing dancer who flew in...

Just curious, what do you actually shoot with the 1 fps and how do you use that feature?

For the time being...how much longer?

S-Cinetone on the FX9 looked wonderful when I shot some projects with it last year.
First time I could shoot people and not gag on the Sony colors,
no Cyan/Magenta cadaver looks! This is a big...

I do know from conversations I have had with various Apple team members over the years that FCP X is a microscopic contributor to Apple revenues, it really is a speck of dust on the Apple machine. If...

Yes, the lamps give off a little heat, agreed. I though he meant the fixtures as I try to avoid touching lamps of
any kind because of the fingerprint oil factor and what that does to HMI and...

Chris, applying logic and practicality to what Canon does?

I spent so much time at Frys, especially the Alien Crash land Burbank store. Even our local up here in Oxnard was a cool store although
it was missing a good theme. I have bought hundreds of...
