Great to hear! Glad the surgery was such a success. Really beautiful shots in the video. How much were you relying on AF for this vs MF?

I always thought Ex Machina looked fantastic (and is a great movie, to boot). The Revenant was filmed on the Alexa 65 (in addition to the Alexa XT and M): https://www.arri.com/news-en/alexa-xt-and-alexa-65-on-the-revenant- https://soc.org/project/the-revenant-shooting-in-the-elements/

Ran into a curious issue with my FX6 (or the card) on a shoot last weekend. Camera was setup for HD recording, XAVC LongGOP. I had dual slot recording turned on along with proxies. The first block of continuous recording lasted for ~60 minutes (this was followed by a shorter block of a couple...

I have the 24-105 and I've used the 28-135 in the past. The 24-105 is not going to win any prizes for speed, sharpness, or character, but it is a perfectly serviceable—and solid—zoom lens that covers a decent range. I also find it to be notably sharper than the copy of the 28-135 I was using...

Selling my Vocas LCD support for the FX6. I've been the only owner and it's in great condition (and worked extremely well). I've switched to a different configuration, which is why I'm selling. All relevant information can be found in the eBay listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/186229469823

Bit of an odd request here, but does anyone have recommendations for DVD-ripping software that will run on an old MacBook (5,1 model, late 2008) running Mac OS X 10.6.8? I have a DVD that will only play on this machine. For some reason the Blu-Ray player in my Xbox One S doesn't play the disc...

A work bag is a good suggestion. We certainly don't need anything fancy, so long as it gets the job done. The shoots are generally pretty easy on our gear (i.e., we're not hiking up mountains or working in harsh environments).

Thanks for the suggestions, Peter. Something like an Orca DSLR bag might work. We tend to use a cart when we're transporting gear so ease of carrying and lightweight aren't top priorities (although lighter is nice). And as you note, without some kind of divider things become a jumbled mess...

I'm looking around for a decent small- to medium-sized bag to carry some sound equipment. This is for shoots where we're running our own audio, generally direct to camera, so it's not an extensive sound kit. The ideal bag would hold: 3-4 lav body packs and transmitters 1-2 MKE 400 shotgun mics...

Doug Jensen Unless you have a specific reason to stay in the Premiere and Adobe ecosystem I'd really suggest giving Resolve a chance at editing. The learning curve coming from Premiere isn't that steep, and I believe you can map the keyboard to the usual Premiere keys. You can also find some...

I tried this (years ago) and it was a nightmare. Maybe things have improved since then, but I wouldn't expect it to be the case. FCP does things with media and edits that don't translate well, and in my case the result was having to do a ton of fixes in Resolve before I could even start grading...

Anyone else having problems with Catalyst Browse? I'm on an M1 MacBook Pro. Catalyst Browse was always a bit buggy but I could usually go through a few use sessions without a crash. As of late, it crashes *literally* every time I first open it up. Sometimes I can get it to work long enough to...

The title pretty much sums it up: the SDI on my Atomos Shogun Inferno appears to be shot. Tested various cables and two different cameras (FX6 and Fs5), RAW signal and video—nothing. Then tested a different monitor unit (Atomos Shinobi) and SDI signal was coming through just fine, regardless of...

I just tested it for the first time and yes, you're still monitoring with a LUT. (Also by "tested" I mean nothing more than putting the camera into that mode to check—I haven't actually checked out how the footage stacks up against the Cine EI mode.)

With Flexible ISO you're actually adding gain in camera when you raise the ISO (so yeah, more like a WYSIWYG, at least as far as ISO/gain is concerned).

Does anyone have good suggestions or solutions for mounting lavalier receiver packs to a tripod? Something like this might be an option but I haven't tried it: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1551209-REG/gyrovu_gv_pbm_clamp_mount_with_swivel.html I'm curious to see how others mount...

Maybe this is what you're saying and I'm just misunderstanding, but I believe this diagram is showing the order of operations (i.e., what Resolve does) within each node, rather than a proposed order of operations. That is, within a single node the first thing to happen will be Motion Blur...

Some more screen grabs from LUT testing. This is footage from a real shooting scenario that isn't uncommon for some of my work (a poorly lit training hall where I have zero control over the lighting and limited options in terms of where I can position myself. As before, the images are NO LUT and...

Okay, some screenshots to share. I grabbed some very quick footage of my usual test subjects and then applied Doug's LUTs. I'm attaching here the original S-Cinetone footage, Doug's HC LUT, and Doug's LC LUT. No other modifications were done. I don't think I need to label things as it should be...

Happy to do so. Here is the uncorrected footage from the first four stills: And here is the uncorrected footage from the latter two stills (significantly more underexposed): And yes, Doug, I'm not sure offset LUTs are entirely necessary either. I think this is even more true with the...
