I'm thinking about some dynamic text design, with the end result being letters that have moving clips inside them. I'll have maybe 20-30 cropped clips to be part of the text. I don't know what the crop will look like, but they'll likely various crops in the form of "strips"/"boxes", or even...

At some point I'd like to buy a dual channel UHF system. For context, the application is monitoring sound/micing talent/documentary subjects while shooting. Taking sound seriously enough to have decent audio considering there's no dedicated sound professional, under no illusions that I'm doing...

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...

Over the years I've hardly ever (if ever) gone with 100% natural lighting but in the case of these experiences (gallery and institute of sport), we just moved through extremely quickly. Everything was handheld with easyrig/blkbrd mantis (quad tube), focussing solo with DJI focus pro/NiSi Athena...

I have two of the Nisi Athenas in RF mount https://nisifilters.com.au/shop/nisi-athena-cinema-lenses/rf-mount/ You can see they have drop in rear filter options https://nisifilters.com.au/shop/nisi-athena-cinema-lenses/athena-drop-in-filters/ Their vari-ND is 1-5 stops and their solid NDs only...

Not to be confused with the GP2024 megathread, which is about a handheld gimbal rig in the mirrorless/micro cine cam space, I believe this topic is different enough for its own thread. Since diving into the gimbal life, my stance has been that unless the image is really worth fighting for, or...

With many different deliverables being requested, depending on the project, sometimes it feels like the real work is staying organised in the NLE. While labelling files is nothing new, for me it's been critical to come up with an easily identifiable file name, as well as folders. To compound...

I'm selling my easyrig minimax, but would like to somewhat copy its design, purely for holding an umbrella. The scenarios are for shooting on the shoulder, or cradling a smaller camera if needed. Rather than go down the rain cover on camera path, I'd like to be able to shoot from under an...

Nothing too new, but rather than the fairly annoying game of wireless bluetooth monitoring, and with a Sony dual channel system on the horizon, I've relegated the old UWP wireless system to headphone monitoring. I'm not the first to use UHF this way but it definitely slipped my mind when I went...

I shot/co-directed this for a theatre company, unveiling the 2025 schedule of plays to the public to boost ticket sales. It was played on a big screen at a performing arts centre before kicking off the after party. It's always so satisfying seeing work with an actual audience. I didn't shoot...

I recently bought a DJI ronin 4s pro. I put together a custom rig that allows me to go from dana dolly to compact jib via dovetail on tripod head. This set up has been great - previously operating a tripod head while sliding was not an option and operating while the camera changed height on a...

I'm surprised Sony included Salvatore hanging out the window (04:24) and just slapped a "don't try this at home" while it happened. The whole thing just feels like they were forced to do it. It's still helpful seeing more Burano configurations and looks cool but no breakaway rialto equivalent...

I'm pretty sure this is green screen. For the background, I'd be surprised if it's an off the shelf moving image. Rather than the traditional set or green screen selling a different location, this is somewhere in the middle. This itself isn't that new in that it's trendy to show behind the...

With the Canon 24-70 attached to Canon C200, the focal length is displayed. But not every number gets displayed as you move through the range. Is this just as good as a stills lens can be in terms of accurately displaying the focal length, or maybe the communication between this lens/camera...

I directed/shot a handful of short episodes for a medical devices company (5x 5-7 minute videos). The episodes are just speaking on camera, but I thought I'd share the trailer, which is a mix of speaking to camera and product shots of the laser. Stills of extra angles included here...

I recently shot an architecture project and wanted the camera tilted completely up (90 degrees), while moving vertically. I only had access to a compact jib and was disappointed by how much fore/aft travel there was from the arc of the jib. I know plenty of people have used jibs for seemingly...

Any idea where to source 8'x12' ish backdrops? Specifically, grey/blue mottled pattern. I'm not after the cheapest options but would rather have the mottled pattern look good. Good examples by manfrotto here...

Similar to the c200 transcoding thread, I'm tightening up my set up for whenever I shoot for the same production. It's quite formulaic, along the lines of documentary magazine (IDK if that's a real category) where it's a single location (someone's house) all day. I'm quite fast these days, all I...

I occasionally need to look at a phone while shooting and am going to buy a mount which will let me attach it to a camera - for example, looking at a reference frame or asking someone else's questions if you're forced to work solo. RRS is probably the frontrunner (I wish these had anti twist...
