    PR: Fujifilm Unveils the Development of its First Filmmaking Camera “FUJIFILM GFX ETERNA”

    Needs a quality viewfinder and 4” LCD that can be used at the same time, like Arri has and Sony and Canon do not have. Arri has two ports, one for the viewfinder/LCD combo and a second port for the SmallHD monitor, which is a great setup, providing power, video feed, and camera button control...

    Artistry vs technical skill: weighing the importance of both

    The only point is that you can work on a project while caring about your own job and how well you do at it while not caring about the project as a whole. This applies to any job. Some people care about more than just their job and also care about the project or company as a whole and others do...

    Artistry vs technical skill: weighing the importance of both

    If you told the average Walmart employee that the Walmart store they work in could make 5 million or 10 million (if they worked harder) of profit for that given year, and either way they would still have a job and still get paid the same, I don't feel the average Walmart employee would care much...

    Artistry vs technical skill: weighing the importance of both

    I wasn't saying they're mutually exclusive nor am I putting down DP's who heavily lean on the script to guide their choices. I was more saying there are different approaches to cinematography, that results are most of what matters, and that it's ironic when a DP who gets worse results gets...

    Artistry vs technical skill: weighing the importance of both

    What sounds better to a DP, working with an acclaimed director who is known for their generic cinematography (perhaps they mostly direct comedy) and most of their movies turn out good or great, or working with a not acclaimed director who challenges the cinematographer to create unique images...

    Artistry vs technical skill: weighing the importance of both

    Doug, let me ask you this, would you rather hire a DP who reads the script and cares about your project but shoots crappy images due to lack of skill, or a DP who doesn't read the script and doesn't care about your project but shoots quality images you're happy with because they know what...

    Artistry vs technical skill: weighing the importance of both

    Charles, most of the offers I get for movies are ultra low budget, and in the ultra low budget world, it's heavily made up of inexperienced filmmakers who write bad scripts. So, I generally want to waste as little time as possible dealing with that, while still spending a bit of time in the...

    Artistry vs technical skill: weighing the importance of both

    I typically read the script before shooting, just not necessarily before an interview prior to being hired. But there have been some movies where I didn't read the script. For 48 Hour Films, I often am the sole producer and the DP, and have someone else directing, who is sort of working both...

    How do you all deal with being demoted or fired from a film project?

    Make your own films and as long as you don't fire yourself you'll never get fired or not hired.

    Artistry vs technical skill: weighing the importance of both

    My approach tends to be use my various technical knowledge and I suppose artistic knowledge (having watched movies and such) and then just trying to create shots I find interesting, and what I find interesting may often also be artistic. I personally don't often do things like using the...

    Major Site Changes Coming

    This. That's transitionary instead of exclusory. And then after testing the new forums if the new forums that are added blow up and DVXuser becomes a paradise of activity while the individual camera forums are a dead zone, at that point, consider consolidating the camera forums. But to delete...

    Major Site Changes Coming

    A news videographer who would get out of focus underexposed shots if they had figured out how to turn their camera on is what you would call a bad news videographer. Technical skill is required in a technical profession. I didn't say anything about capturing perfect shots with perfect...

    Major Site Changes Coming

    They say the best way to hide an April Fool's joke is to not do it in April. I've probably posted more of my videos and movies here than the average user, but I've gained way more benefit from learning technical knowledge here than from the comments on my videos, which, to a large extent is...

    Ben Affleck & Salvatore Totino ASC, AIC take the Sony BURANO for a spin around LA

    They were so forced to do it that Sony set the YouTube to that page to disabled commenting so Affleck wouldn't bad mouth the camera in the comments.

    How is the brightness in RGB mode? I feel my Aputure P600c's aren't that bright in RGB. Welcome back, Run&Gun!
