    The Best Bad Audio (gigs for tik tok)

    It has a very specific use case geared toward content creators, but it can definitely make do in a pinch. I don't have a camera that can stream video, but I could definitely see that as a helpful application.

    The Best Bad Audio (gigs for tik tok)

    Maybe? For a lot of use cases a phone is perfect, especially now that the quality has caught up. I've not used one as a monitor, but recently did a music video that was shot entirely with two iPhone 16's. It was a remote project where I couldn't be present to either shoot as part was shot in...

    Should be a cinch from the sounds of it;)

    ALEXA: Reidel Acquires ARRI

    My magic 8 ball says: Signs don't look good I mean, it's interesting in theory, but if they want to bring their color tech to the masses why not develop their own app for mobile use that can be used on anything as opposed to only working with a Huawei subsidiary who is effectively banned in the...

    ALEXA: Reidel Acquires ARRI

    Just reading up on this, it sounds like their focus on specifically high end production equipment, and the pandemic reducing demand as well as rising costs are the biggest contributing factors to their woes? Why not license your tech to companies that make more consumer priced gear, or...

    Official Tripod F.A.Q's

    I am in need of a good general tripod, but it needs to be able to go low. Since I am unable to see all of the tripods available in person I can't determine if the spreader is detachable on most. Are there some decent, but not costly ones I should be looking at that can go low when needed?

    The state of Cinema

    I saw that this morning. Media consolidation kind of sucks, but maybe this will make them more of a player in the streaming service sector.

    AI partially generating images

    Part of the problem is that it can only work from what's there, and what it's been trained on. How would you train an AI to expand dynamic range or perform color space alterations? It's not impossible but those specifications would need to be clearly defined and isolated for it to learn how to...

    The state of Cinema

    Personally, I'd like to see Paramount win. Netflix is huge, but their effect on the media landscape is outsized for what they actually produce, and they consistently make shows and movies designed for audiences with no attention span. Everything they produce is by committee, and if it doesn't...

    The state of Cinema

    Wasn't the situation that Paramount had made a superior all cash bid, and then released a letter to convince the shareholders to vote in favor of their purchase, and despite all that Warner was like "nah, we're going with Netflix"?

    C100: Yeesh maaaan

    I loved this film when it came out. Also, if you're a fan of Brainscan...it has Amy Hargreaves in it!

    C100: Yeesh maaaan

    I had been checking them out, but none of the ones on eBay when I looked were in very good shape. I ended up finding a near mint XF200 complete kit with nice back pack case, batteries, and a light for next to nothing. Decided to jump at that, and then in the same sitting saw a C100 MKII that was...

    C100: Yeesh maaaan

    Yep. I don't know what I was expecting performance-wise, but I was hoping it would be better than it turned out to be.

    Compare the Sony AX2000 with a newer one?

    I haven’t been keeping up on all of them, but the Canon XF 650 or XF 750 would probably tick a lot of boxes for you.

    Please do. I'd be curious to see.

    CAMCORDERS: Shooting my new film on the HPX170, give me your advice

    On the HPX170, controls like V Detail, Detail Coring, and Master Pedestal are broadcast-era signal-shaping tools, not core shooting settings. V Detail adds artificial sharpening to vertical edges and can create halos or a “video” look, so it’s best kept low or off for progressive, cinematic...
