Testing the wonderful Dehancer plugin. Also trying out some diopters on the Remus anamorphic lens.
One key light with a grid (as you can see), and a small magic wand LED tube behind me.
"Followed" is a low budget short horror film.
I wanted to see if I could shoot a short film at home, as bare bones as possible. Ended up spending a lot more time editing than I thought I would, and even adding another day to shoot some more scenes.
My wife helped with the panning shots.
I...
Doug, I wasn't talking to you. I was talking about you. ;)
No, on a more serious note. I can take your negative criticism with no issues. Does that mean that you're not bent a bit more on the negative-criticism-side than most here? For sure it doesn't. I've been on this forum and other forums...
Oh I didn't mean to insinuate that you've never been impulsive or raw. Don't know where you got that from.
If the video you posted there is meant as a comparison then I will have to say that this is a very different context. I wasn't hired to shoot this concert. I just attended and shot it...
So I didn't mean to call you rude. I said I didn't understand if you were trying to be rude. Or I didn't really understand why you brought it up.
Maybe I'm just touchy because arguing with Doug Jensen seems very pointless. We have extremely different opinions. So even though I think he's been...
FOV's vary, yes, but anamorphic lenses distort the image with the oval shaped glass in a way that spherical lenses don't.
So especially with projection lenses that has a taking lens, you get both the characteristics of (in my case) the old Canon FD lens, with the specific projection lens. So...
It is definitely not the same. You dont get the same FOV with that focal length. And with the projection lenses you get a lot of special and imperfect characteristics, which i happen to like.
And i also have to disagree with that being what most people do (slapping some letterboxes on)...
That's ok, Doug!
But thanks for the comment. The hot spot was a little too hot, I can agree there. This was a one take thing, and since I don't have a huge monitor to look at, it was a challenge to get everything right straight away.
Using an anamorphic projection lens here was a just a funny...
Since my last post garnered so much "lovely discussions" for having the audio "out of sync", shaky cam (shot by a 12 year old, someone said), and that they hated the 4:3 ratio, I bring you everything that the last video was not. :ROFLMAO:
One take, live recording (audio in sync), anamorphic...
Just have to say that I like this discussion.
I enjoy everything from indy films to major blockbusters, from shaky cam to steady tripod shots.
I wouldn't use the "It’s my art" argument. I find that too often to be a cop out for lack of skill.
This night was an impulsive shoot with a lot of...
I dont know the point of saying that it looks like it was shot by a 12 year old. Seems more rude than necessary.
Other than that I appreciate the comment.
I really like 4:3 for some projects. I also like shaky cam when the occasion calls for it.
I went for a style. Like alot of the videos on...
Ashamed to say I tried to do what @RobEllisCinematographer talked about in one of his videos, and this was the best I could come up with.
This is actually both a lighting video and color grading. But since the video itself is more about the color grading, I put it here.
I'm still really...
Trying out the famous hollywood look.
Used Lumetri Color to color grade.
Shot in C4K on the Lumix S5 in 10 Bit, V-log.
Lens used: Sigma 35mm f/2.0 at f/2.8
ISO at 640
Appreciate the "defense"!
And I do appreciate the vigour, folks! Nice to see that much activity on DVXuser again :)
And Doug, I have no problem with you not liking it given of all the reasons you listed. That is, as have been noted, your prerogative :)
But.. I can quote the response from the...
Thanks mate!
I can understand the criticism. I should have brought my zoom h5 and recorded audio.
So I had to be a little creative with it.
As for 4:3 I really enjoy it. It reminds me of old DVX100 videos.
And the color science of the Panasonic lumix s5 is very in line with the old cameras IMO.
