Tell us about how your short development is going. Any issues finding crew or cast? Do you have locations? Did you pay for them? There is so much learned from the first short. It is a great experience. Good luck.

Sorry Jay, I drift off topic. By the way, I think your first post is excellent. I would really enjoy a thread where people open up about creativity. It could go in many directions. Ok, let me restate, with a lavish bit of snarkyism not aimed at either of you; On properly managed sets, slates...

Yet people hang onto it for some reason, just like slates. Both obsolete long ago. At least you can make some money renting slates. It's a silly, time-wasting prop.

This conversation is too confusing for me. We were talking about film editing and then you mention the Ranger 8k. I'm done with this conversation.

Yes, you need to get a positive printed for the editing. You need to have the keycode reprinted onto the positive print as edge numbers. The lab will do this. You also need the sound transferred to magnetic film stock. Will you use a Moviola or flatbed to edit?

It's not clear to me what step B means. When you say "B) having possitve, to convert back to negative", I assume you mean to cut the negative to conform the the positive edit, not print a negative. I'm wondering as well. If your output is 4k, then why not scan the camera negative and edit...

This is how the young people spend time with each other. It's a different world. They were waiting outside a restaurant for Sunday breakfast. I saw the same thing with a young couple having breakfast. They sat in silence, each looking at their phones. The Movie Wall-E may be more accurate than I...

That is an interesting take on the situation. Not bad. Another aspect I perceive is the opposite of what you said about people posting bad information; people afraid to say anything at all. There is a filmmaker's Discord server here in the San Francisco Bay Area that was started up not long ago...

Is it me or is discussion no longer a 'thing'. With most apps like Facebook, the serial stream of posts makes discussion on any particular topic difficult. It's a few responses to a question and onto the next thing. Even Discord channels, which do have a way to have separate topics, no one seems...

Waqas Qazi is the man. In this video he shows an example of adjusting an underexposed/grainy clip in Davinci Resolve with Davinci's noise reduction and then while still in Davinci, with the same clip, using Neat. Nice side-by-side comparison. You decide.

Here is a discussion about isolating dialog. It's not about Audition, but may offer some alternatives. In the 8th post, I put some samples of a track with a lot of traffic noise and how well Davinci Resolve cleaned it up. But that would cost you $300 to get the software...

Come up with a quick test. Some way to duplicate the computing power needed without having to deal with 30 clips. For example, try it with one clip repeatedly used over and over to see how it behaves.

The Newshooter video from NAB with Rode discussing the Rodelink left me pretty impressed with the system. Given the price, it is a Theos competitor. If testing proves it out, I think it will far surpass Theos. It is specifically designed to be a camera-mounted system and not to be used in a bag...

The 4 microphones in the iPhones are pretty sophisticated MEMS microphones. Here is a guide on how to use them for stereo recording - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfaudio/capturing-stereo-audio-from-built-in-microphones.

"Just start..." Cough, cough. ...... I'm choking on the word 'just'. These are no ordinary lenses. The autofocus for broadcast box lenses is built into the lens. It does its own autofocus (without help from the camera) with it's own sensor. It costs a stop or so. It's a whole other animal...

A cheaper Arri or consumer Arri is not a direction that makes sense for a company like Riedel. They are in the TV business. They would have to have a plan to monetize Arri's higher dynamic range and 'look' to the broadcast world. Broadcasters are willing to pay $50,000 and up for a Sony...

Things have largely settled down, so I don't see a motivation to go. We don't see the plethora of new camera announcements. The LED light market has matured. There are new devices in the audio market, but while Deity has made good progress in making better products, I'm not interested in their...

I stand corrected. For some reason, I thought there was a Mr. Zacuto. Kinda pours water over the whole story.

That will work if it is a static shot. If it is a traveling shot, then it is way more complicated. Since you are showing the actor's feet, the pop up won't work. You need green under the shoes. If you shoot from the knees upward, then ok. If you're going to use a green screen, then you don't...

As you say, green screen is not needed in most cases. But the software needs edges. Even with Davinci's Magic mask, cutting out a human can be difficult and require hand rotoscoping on a frame by frame basis. Your storyboard for the last shot is indicating a dark room with low contrast lighting...
