What do you want to control? Absolutely everything?
The right hand grip from tilta's advanced gimbal ring (https://tilta.com/shop/advanced-ring-grip-for-dji-ronin/?srsltid=AfmBOopf0VNdzaWjcsndujR7R_tRGILkRrnGauipkHLgukgdKwYvSpHV) can control:
- ronin 4s pro gimbal
- start/stop on some cameras...
I'll tune in out of habit, but not excited at all like I used to be. I'm pretty happy to just make the tools work at this point, but will still pay attention to tools that make life easier.
Can you really make a living working with small businesses? It's easy enough testing the waters before you waste time with admin, website build, branding, etc. etc. which is major procrastination we've all been guilty of. Can you can play the volume game if you're in a city big enough? In that...
What will your business do?
I would specialise. Assuming it’s corporate video, being an industry agnostic generalist waiting for the phone to ring will end in tears. IMO people think more in terms of deliverables and having a production company is nowhere near the selling point it once was...
@David Jimerson any insight on plans for the site? Will it stay up as long as people are active, or will the owner keep for a certain amount of time, regardless of activity?
That's partly it. At some point years ago, behind the scenes became more important than the actual results. Rather than coming to dvxuser, building relationships and somewhat getting trusted before people shared information, instagram has people just demanding the lenses used, lighting plans...
I don't think it'll necessarily do anything properly, it'll either be that's good enough, or the result is quite different, but we don't mind because it looks "better" than not applying the tech. Maybe a chat gpt/BM camera would be regular camera, with in-built secondary 360 camera purely to...
Yeah, and in the narrative/advertising space, I can see the guess versions being good enough, if they feel there's a net positive - "not the same as what we shot at all but the sky went from white to deep cyan so who cares?"
I haven't actively been looking, but I'm still surprised we haven't...
I wonder if we'll see a large camera company throw the kitchen sink at a product release. If there are generational leaps in IQ, their perception will take a hit for holding back, but maybe the product will be so good no one will care.
If say resolve can bridge the gap, this would inform...
Why aren't we seeing AI turn something like files from an fx3 into alexa 35-esque images?
I know compared to total image generation, something like this would be a fraction of the market, but is anyone else surprised that there hasn't yet been an AI gap filler? If fx3s all shot the EXACT same...
If 'The Africas' could've somehow been shot on any of the latest gen BM cameras, it'd be an even better looking project - this IS (edited typo from is not to is) a pretty vanilla statement. But the BMs simply couldn't have been used in the same way. What good is absolute IQ if the camera can't...
Here are two love letters, one to the fx6 (phenomenal talent Julien Jarry), one to BM in general (Of Two Lands):
Without commenting on the actual projects (great variety in both videos), the BM looks and feels objectively better to me. A lot of the BM was with their 6k sensors. I'm not...
I find most side by side comparisons really difficult to see any differences at all.
At the same time, if I made up that certain videos on my website were shot on an Alexa 35, I wouldn't be offended if anyone was shocked or surprised.
I can't quantify it but I think with complete projects, we...
Thanks. I saw a broken rx working tx for about $70 USD (missed it), almost worthless to some people! Locally, you can get both brand new for $1,100 AUD/$750 USD, so I'll either check ebay or buy new when the time comes. If you had a large project coming up, would you move away from the amimon...
@CharlesPapert re connex mini, can you have two transmitters, one per camera, to work with a single receiver, if only one tx is ever on? If you turn one off, then turn the other one on, will the receiver change to whichever transmitter is on?
I'm just wondering with the system being as cost...
Peter, I've wrestled with this a lot over the years, historically providing value through lighting rather than the camera. But now there are many situations where even existing office lighting and a modern cinema camera would give better results than any artificial lighting/c100. If overseeing a...
