There are three things you need to accept as a filmmaker.

1. No one is gonna watch your stuff.
2. You are gonna lose money not make money.
3. Everyone will call your work a piece of shit.

Now why do you make films despite that? Because it feels natural to you. If you can't make films because it feels natural to you, you are not destined to be a filmmaker.

>>4514487
It absolutely does not “feel natural” to me. What is natural about filmmaking? A tortured, painful process at nearly every step. A constant kick in the teeth, things going wrong, not turning out how you planned (even with backup plan ZZ), rising costs every year, decks stacked against you getting higher every year. A facade from every point of view, either completely unnatural fictional narratives or manipulated biased “documentary”, then shoved into an editing bay where every frame is extremely manipulated so it can attempt to manipulate the viewer. Filmmaking is the most unnatural thing to partake in, delusional “destiny” be damned.
So why do I keep doing it? Because I’m fucking compelled to do so, a constant desire for more suffering that never ends. Sometimes I wish it would.

finally got a used gh5 after all these years of drooling, there was some crusty gunk on the jog wheel but it seems ok otherwise
I found out I don't have a single memory card that can do the 400 m/bit, kind of scared to even try loading it in resolve (been using 100 mbit from a g85 so far)
It's so fucking hefty.
For tests I'm thinking cap-on photo and idk nighttime low light video check for hot pixels? Anything else I should check to make sure I don't have to return it? Sensor looks clean.
>>4514510
as I'm getting more used to editing and feeling what's missing or what I need to cut out, I realize it's really a language that most people only listen and never speak in. It does feel natural now. You have to build it piece by piece but you can imagine it in your head beforehand.

>>4514487
>No one is gonna watch your stuff.
I have no intention of anyone ever seeing it and I've never released any of it anywhere, I make it for my own enjoyment.

>>4514487

I just want to make some cinematic meme videos and I don’t care if normies watch my shit.

Fuck all the ai whiners, this shit's saved me hours in scrolling through forums or watching youtubers take 5 minutes to get to the fucking point (only for it to be the wrong point because they advertised it misleadingly).

The future is now

>>4514589
That’s because most morons don’t know how to properly use ai. It’s meant to be used as a search engine to help you figure shit out. They want to use it as an artificial brain to think for them because they are mouth breathers.

>>4514584
This

I’ve said it before I’ll say it again- if it was possible for me to click an AI button that spit out a feature film that was EXACTLY (remember, EXACTLY) how I envisioned it to be, I would do it instantly and would pay the same amount of money I’d spend on a feature budget to do so.
But we’re not there yet. Maybe one day.

>>4514598
> I want to use an AI that makes “good” films.

When that ai gets built it will only generate woke cape-shit—be careful what you wish for.

>>4514589
holy this
sometimes I feel I'm relying on AI too much when it comes to problem solving Linux stuff, then I go searching for the solution to my problems in user-written FAQs and guides, forum threads and Reddit posts, etc., and it just never gets me to an answer. AI is just too good at putting an answer together for my problem.

>>4514629
Then it won’t be exactly how I want it, and therefore I won’t use it
Capeshit Hollywood has no relevance to the type of filmmaking Im a part of

>resolve free won't do 10 bit

Life is suffering.
(Also, a vfx shot that should've been really easy that I filmed exactly as planned is a lot trickier than it was supposed to be for some reason which will make people think my vfx skills are shit)

>>4514589
sometimes i think there's a bm project manager sells resolve courses on the side and this is why there have been a million changes to the ui in the last 10 years, it's like they compulsively can't leave alone

>>4514724
Free does still do Prores (nonraw) if that's an option for you

>>4514765
ok I will try transcoding
this is for a GH5
I figured I would probably need proxies with this camera so this isn't that bad

>>4514764
The ui changes a lot because they keep on adding shit to resolve. Now they have a photo page to replace Lightroom; pretty soon they’ll have a page to replace Photoshop with something that is node based.

>>4514589
>colour grading dots to swap between clip, group and timeline grade gone
Guess I'm not upgrading.

>>4514817
Yeah I'm also getting an annoying glitch in fusion where it's not displaying the nodes properly (and doesn't render them properly either).
Thing is, I know never to install the first version of a new upgrade. But for some reason I forgot or something. I don't even use any of the new features.

Sorry to be lame but while visiting a friend I messed around with one of those older early 00s camcorders and it was the most fun couple of minutes Ive had in probably the last 5 years. I know it’s probably cringe to most people here but i really like it and want to buy one. Does it matter at all which one I get? Or just find one that works? If anyone even has a recommendation I’d appreciate it alot. Ty

>24fps footage almost always looks choppy or off when panning
I swear you have to be so goddamn careful with panning or else the entire recording is ruined.

>>4514761
As they say, the best special effects are the ones you don't notice.

>>4515130
They're all kind of shit, so not really. Just make sure you get one that records digital video to media that you can put on your computer (like sd cards).
Why don't you just use your phone? You'll get similar quality.

>>4515145
Ok good to know.
And desu it’s mostly for nostalgic reasons. My mom used to have one and i remember when she first got it she took me to lots of places to use it and those were the best days of my childhood so i just want my own now

>>4514476
You can look forward to buying this shit for pennies on the dolla in a year or so when all these fucking Ai-speculation data centers are defunct and it fully bankrupts this fucking stupid investor economy. Bc by the time they finish these abominations, 99.9999% of all the fucking ai processing will be happening locally, not in the cloud, BC it shifts the power costs from the data center back to you fucking stooges, and that equals hella juicy profits for them and a mandingo sized cock up your asses. And just like that all you taxpaying shlubs will be bailing out the billionaires, hedge fund & crypto scammers that convinced the us gov to allowed 90% of our economy to be dumped into these scams.

>>4515209
>You can look forward to buying this shit for pennies on the dolla in a year or so
When this doesn’t happen, and the prices instead just double, will you buy my SSDs for me?

>>4515211
It’ll eventually crash. We just don’t know when. The ai bros and crypto bros are fucking stubborn fuckers. They won’t give up until they go bankrupt chasing profits that won’t last because the cost of electricity will be higher then the profits they make from either mining or crating ai models.

I don't know where to ask this but who is the cuck in the situation of the videographer and the editor? I mean the videographer is outside wageslaving but the video editor has to edit his shit, idk who mgos who

>>4515227
The producer who has to deal with both their shit.

Don't know if this is the right place, but I'm going crazy. Does anyone know a good alternative to FxFactory's Deep Pan? It emulates the 3D zoom on Capcut (which I just tried to install and didn't work at all).
It seems it's creating a displacement map. I managed to get very close results by manually zooming, panning and distorting stuff, but not only is it tedious, it's also missing that displacement effect

>>4515134
open the shutter angle
use paracord or rubber band on tripod handle

>>4515309
>open the shutter angle
Not sure what this means exactly, should I use a slower shutter speed for panning shots? I'm still new to video.

>use paracord or rubber band on tripod handle
I've been handheld for the moment, my tripod doesn't have a video head. Is a tripod essential for 24fps panning? I've done okay with 30 and 60 handheld.

r/filmhub/comments/1uetp0i/be_wary_indie_filmmakers/
>tldr; filmhub free qc isn't a thing anymore and is basically just b8
I mean I figured since my film has been waiting for qc for like 5 months now and they tried reaching out 'personally' to get me to upgrade to premium (for the low low price of $500 with no guarantees). But still, sucks to read

>>4515227
A good editor can cuck even the director if the producer wants him to, he's the final word.
Hence why the big directors either forced the producers to use their own loyal editors or they were the editors themselves.

Finding filming locations is still one of the hardest parts of this shit.
My apartment looks dumb as fuck, public parks look stupid, and renting locations are too expensive.
Shit’s fucked.

>>4515443
That’s why you need to steal locations that look good bro just get a mirrorless and look like a tourist while you get the boss and based shots you want without needing any cheddar for permits to get them …

>>4515443
Ai is nearing the point where locations won't be needed. There's a filmmaker shooting a film at the moment that won't use any special locations or even greenscreen, with the backgrounds entirely generated. Can't remember who but someone famous. The question is whether it will be cost effective enough for no budget filmmakers.
Magic mask in resolve, and equivalents, aren't there yet but are getting closer and closer. In a few years you'll be able to utilise that.
And greenscreens have come a long way. Corridor Crew (regardless of your feelings on them) released a free opensource greenscreen keyer that's surpassed every prior industry tool.
(And property prices have to collapse eventually... right?)

We're *almost* there. Just be warned that there might not be a film industry left by the time it gets there.

>>4515535
>Corridor Crew (regardless of your feelings on them)
qrd?

>>4515535
>there might not be a film industry left by the time it gets there
Never given a fuck about the industry, just want to make art for myself

>>4515548
They're youtubers which is already an offense in itself. The majority of their content is react videos (which to be fair funds their interesting videos).
Rumours that almost all of their actual vfx editing is done by unpaid/low-paid interns who they don't feature at all in their vids and massively overwork until they quit out of frustration.

Also, they're legitimately bad filmmakers. Great vfx. Terrible at the artistic side. The Batgirl video is a perfect example. You watch the amount of work they put into that, hiring an expensive arri, the really cool behind the scenes and dedication to choreographing a decent action scene... and then you watch the actual trailer and it all looks like a low budget cw show that was shat out in an afternoon.

>>4515535
What I wonder about AI backgrounds for videos and all that shit is what happens if you want to attempt to have the same background but from a different angle. In my experience, it's never quite the same.

>>4515550
Well ok fuck these people, I’ve never watched their videos and I never will. But somehow they put out a greenscreen keyer that’s actually good?

>>4515535
>property prices have to collapse eventually... right?
lmao

>>4515557
I thought what people do now is build the environment in Blender or some shit then rotate it around from shot to shot, it moves accurately during panning/tracking shots, etc
I know that’s not AI, but maybe you could get AI to build you a “coherent” environment for you to then use. I obviously have no fucking clue what I’m talking about.

>>4515575
I honestly don't really know either, but that sounds about right. It's what that Backrooms guy did for all his videos. Is Blender pretty easy to use then?

>>4515557
Doing it well is genuinely a skill in itself at the moment.
The successful method I've seen is to create a 'master' of the environment that contains enough information for various different angles to be derived from (wide shot that's in the middle of the most frequent angles you want).
Then when you ask the ai to create an image from a different angle, it creates very consistent backgrounds.
>>4515575
>>4515582
People have gotten really good with this too. Gaussian splats in particular are showing lots of promise and result in photorealistic backgrounds without having to spend hundreds of hours on a top of the line computer generating every fine detail.
Again, it's not yet at the level where you can 'easily' do it. But if you have the time/dedication, it's feasible at the moment without costing a hefty fee.
>>4515573
Some of their vids are pretty good. If you have an interest in vfx, they're worth checking out (just skip through the parts where they try to be all quirky). They also have free tutorials on their website for a lot of the stuff they do.
They created their greenscreen keyer using ai and bruteforcing it. There's a decent video about how they did it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ploi723hg4
And because they made it opensource, it allowed other people to optimise their work very quickly

>>4515589
At least they give you free tools and don’t try to get you to buy a shitty lutpack to support the channel. Even if they sold the lutpack the free tools make up for it.

it's even worse, the incoming generation is functionally illiterate due to covid education

Just need some quick tips on using Davinci Resolve (the free one). As far as importing 10bit footage goes, does it work with x264 or is that a paid feature? And as for final render, is 8bit good enough after editing all the 10bit footage?

>>4516379
Free can't import 10 bit h264 -- I transcode to prores hq with ffmpeg and that takes care of that.
For final render, 8bit is enough if you're posting online or don't intend to heavily manipulate the colors sometime in the future. 10bit is only really necessary for heavy-gradient footage so you avoid banding, for HDR exports or if you intend to have your stuff get distributed in the future and they expect highest quality you can give them. However it must be said that 10bit compressed export doesn't take that great of a toll on bitrate, so you may as well keep it on. When giving the footage to people to watch you may have to transcode it to 8bit 4:2:0 as some simple video players may not decode anything above that.

I (still) love ai!

>currently working on amending the contract and constructing an email telling them politely that the current version sucks donkey dick
Ai is a fucking life-saver. 10 years ago, this would've cost so much in lawyer fees and taken far longer.

>>4516422
>Free can't import 10 bit h264 -- I transcode to prores hq with ffmpeg and that takes care of that.
Damn. I thought I'd read it can do x264 10bit but not x265 10bit on the free version. How big is about a minute of ProRes HQ then? Is there no smaller LOG/RAW format that loads into it?
>For final render, 8bit is enough if you're posting online or don't intend to heavily manipulate the colors sometime in the future.
That's the idea really, I'd keep the original 10bit footage and the 8bit render would just be for the final cut of the project which will just be shown on computers or TVs.
>However it must be said that 10bit compressed export doesn't take that great of a toll on bitrate, so you may as well keep it on. When giving the footage to people to watch you may have to transcode it to 8bit 4:2:0 as some simple video players may not decode anything above that.
I'd ideally export as 10bit but I think I also read Resolve Free doesn't let you export in 10bit. I don't really have $300 to throwdown on the Studio version right now since I hardly do any video currently.

>>4516459
>using AI for legal advice
Recently some CEO lost a shitload of money doing what you're doing, just saying. Having a lawyer look over a contract isn't that expensive and is pretty common.

>>4516468
Oh, don't get me wrong, I've got some human input as well.
And I won't sign anything until I've had someone I trust read the final version (hopefully my lawyer friend but I don't want to take advantage of him).
I don't trust the ai as an ultimate authority. It suggests things, I read them, I ask about them, I ask if this will cause x, y or z, and I get it to alter them. I use it like a dumb autist who read a lot of law books and contracts, but who's prone to making mistakes or missing things.
But as it was written and sent to me, the contract would absolutely fuck me in the stereotypical way I've heard from so many filmmakers before (which genuinely gives me cause to consider walking away altogether)

>>4516468
Using ai to write a contract is probably ok. Relying on the ai to cite case law for you is fucking risky if you don’t verify that the case law the ai is citing really happened. Ai is great at citing shit from court cases that never happened.

>>4516474
Based. Throw in a dinner or something for your friend as a thank you and that's usually enough in my experience (having been on both sides of doing or receiving a favor).

>>4516476
>Ai is great at citing shit from court cases that never happened.
Kek yeah I read about some lawyer that had AI write up some of the shit he submitted to the court and it cited cases that didn't exist, and I think there was some other lawyer that did the same and the cases it cited were actually from TV shows and books.

I sometimes use AI to get a quick summary on a topic and then get the link to its source so I can read the full thing for myself.

>>4516468
This, had an entertainment lawyer look over a distribution contract I received, cost $150. the peace of mind to have everything explained in English was absolutely worth it

Vimeo alternatives? Something with higher quality than YouTube.

I used generative ai to make a wuxia story screenplay is it any good or is it ai slop:

TITLE: The Purification of the Jade Hall

EXT. PURE FLOW SECT - GRAND ARENA - DAY

Sunlight blazes down on the mountain peak. Golden banners snap in the wind. Hundreds of disciples stand in perfect formation, their robes pristine. Drums of war echo across the valley.

On a raised stone platform, MASTER LEI YUN (50s, iron-jawed, thunderous voice) stands with his legendary sword—the Dragon-Severing Jian—unsheathed, gleaming like liquid mercury.

Before him, kneeling in chains, is the traitor WU XIAN (40s, gaunt, sneering). His heretical scrolls burn in a brazier beside him. The disciples chant in unison:

DISCIPLES
(rhythmic, powerful)
PURGE! PURGE! PURGE!

MASTER LEI YUN
(voice booming across the mountain)
Wu Xian! You were trusted with the sacred texts! You were given robes of honor! And how did you repay the sect? By poisoning the minds of our youth!

WU XIAN
(spitting defiantly)
I told them the truth! Men can cultivate the Womb Meridian! Men can wear the phoenix robes and enter the Jade Maiden's Trials! Your rules are antiquated chains!

The disciples hiss in disgust. One young disciple throws a stone at Wu Xian's feet.

>>4517175
MASTER LEI YUN
(laughing—a deep, righteous laugh)
Antiquated? The Yin-Yang Dao has stood for ten thousand years! It is not antiquated—it is eternal. You do not redefine the heavens. You humble yourself before them!

WU XIAN
I will never repent! I will die spreading the truth!

MASTER LEI YUN
(raising his sword high, addressing the crowd)
Disciples of Pure Flow! Hear me! This man calls corruption "truth." He calls chaos "enlightenment." He would let men defile our sacred Nüxia Trials—trials that honor the warrior women who protect our realm! He would rewrite the very laws of flesh to suit his delusions!

The crowd roars in agreement.

MASTER LEI YUN (CONT'D)
(turning back to Wu Xian)
You have been given three chances to kneel. Three chances to burn your heresy. You chose defiance. So now—you choose your fate.

WU XIAN
(screaming)
You are the heretic! You are the—

The Master does not wait. The Dragon-Severing Jian arcs in a blinding flash of light. A perfect, clean strike.

Wu Xian's head falls. No blood—only a burst of black, foul qi that dissolves instantly in the sunlight.

Silence for one heartbeat.

Then—the crowd ERUPTS.

>>4517176
DISCIPLES
(cheering wildly)
GLORY TO MASTER LEI YUN! GLORY TO PURE FLOW!

Cherry blossom petals rain down from above (released by junior disciples). The drums crash. Banners wave.

Master Lei Yun plants his foot on the headless body, raises his sword to the sun, and addresses the heavens.

MASTER LEI YUN
(triumphant)
The Jade Hall is PURIFIED! The heresy of the Reversed Yin-Yang is ERADICATED! Let this be a warning to all who would corrupt our youth: The Dao does not bend. The Dao does not negotiate. The Dao cuts.

He sheathes his sword. The disciples kneel in unison, fist to palm, bowing to their Master.

MASTER LEI YUN (CONT'D)
Rise, my warriors! Train harder! Become stronger! We will protect the sacred order of nature from every false prophet who dares approach our gates. Kek—no—the Heavens have blessed us this day!

Final shot: Master Lei Yun walking through the cheering crowd, patting young disciples on the shoulders, smiling. The camera pans up to the clear blue sky. The drums reach a crescendo.

FADE TO BLACK.

TITLE CARD: The Pure Flow Sect will train many more heroes in the honorable way of the Dao.

My handheld panning on 24fps remains pretty shitty (especially for moving cars or fast paced action), so could I theoretically use 30fps and use optical flow/frame blending to force the footage to be 24fps? I want to retain the same speed for the clip. Panning on 30fps seems to be perfect and have no stutter like 24fps, so I'm trying to find creative ways around it. The majority of footage will have no panning but there would be a few short scenes that need it (typically cars).

How would that be different to simply shooting 24fps at a slower shutter speed, say 1/30?

Why should I learn the mechanics of shooting when I can just yolo it and then shit up the board?

I’m going to test ai and see if I can get it to make a DCTL file for DaVinci Resolve for me. Do you think it will be able to make one that works? Do you think it will be any good? Actually, I’ll try to get it to make me an R program that generated that DCTL file using statistics to properly model film grain.

>>4518009
No, thank YOU ;)

>>4517098
Why did nobody give any suggestions on Vimeo alternatives? :(

>>4518050
I never found a good place for my film shorts once Liveleak was shut down

I made a dctl plugin to shift people’s skin tone slightly green on a subperceptual level. Enjoy! Perfect for sci-if color grades and other use too.

I think you need the studio version of resolve to run it.

>>4518772
I remember you!

>FX5
Thoughts?
Still using that DSLR formfactor, I'd rather get the pyxis at that price point. Those Sony batteries are terrible.

>>4519059
>Thoughts?
Really good on paper. Ergonomics sound terrible. Has (almost) nothing that the canon c80 didn't do years ago (ibis and open-gate).
The camera has to restart to change framerates or recording codecs. That alone is basically a deal-breaker outside of a controlled studio set.

If you're running-and-gunning, the s1ii (or r6v) are the obvious choices. If you're in a controlled environment, the pyxis 12k, c80 or even the fx3 seem like easier choices.

>>4514476
Sup /vid/, so basically I'm poor as shit with $200 left to make something of my life, and so I have decided to buy a used camera. What qualities should I seek/avoid in this price range?
>inb4 don't bother/ save up more
It was either this or seppuku.

>>4519059
Hopefully the higher spatial sampling due to more pixels alleviates the excessive moire/aliasing that FX3 had. I had problems on a number of shoots where the people were wearing ordinary single color suits, problems with ties, and even with buildings that featured too dense vertical lines. Corp stuff. Impossible to notice on a small monitor, only visible when you begin to work with the footage. Doesn't matter if it's 4K or HD. Hard/annoying to correct. Don't know if anyone talked about this yet though.
The bigger screen is a good thing, however they could've added some sunshade contraption on top of it for outdoor work.
Don't care about the EVF as it removes the only option to grab good audio.
Don't care about open gate, don't care about 5K.
Don't care about 32bit audio, if you can't keep your levels straight then get a sound guy.
The reworked video-centric menus are good. Jumping in the FX3 menus is a nightmare.
Miss me photo mode though, I don't need full blown alpha controls, just a way to take a single still.
Third mid-base ISO is a good thing.

>>4519279
16MP might help a bit with moire but it's a problem with any camera without a strong OLPF. Of course only professional cameras or modified cameras get them because amateurs want to see more "detail" on test charts instead of actual usable quality.

>>4514476
Does anyone have any tips for looking for a videotape camcorder? I wanted to steal my parents' hi8 camcorder but they still think they might use it, which I know they won't, but they don't want to give it to me. I usually ask every time I visit home for thanksgiving but I'm tired of asking.

Is hi8 good if I want to just have fun using a tape camcorder or should I consider other formats?

>>4519617
Hi8 is fine. Although it's only a tiny bump in quality compared to Video8, it's newer so worth going for. Try to find a camcorder with a 1/4" CCD or larger versus the cheaper 1/6". These were common enough so that they should be cheap. The 1/4" ones tended to have slightly faster lenses than the 1/6" ones as well. 3CCD was the pro stuff but avoid 1/6" 3CCD. If you want to digitize, go for MiniDV and Digital8 which should have firewire or maybe hdmi out. Devices to digitize analog are cheap but check for S-Video. I don't think any consumer camcorders used component.

>>4519617
wanted to add, make sure it has Steadishot which was basically a given for Hi8 but you never know. There were a lot of flash based cheap camcorders - don't get those which shot low resolution, super compressed low bitrate footage. Tape was a lot higher quality.

>>4519617
Just take it and be ready to give it back if they ever start looking for it.

thanks, definitely don't want a flash camcorder. I'm really not here to actually do serious videography ( at least I don't think so) but figured you guys would still be the right ones to ask. I just think it would be fun.

Is there any easy way to tell off an ebay listing if it's got a 1/4" or 1/6" sensor or should I just look it up online?

Also, is it worth looking at S-VHS or anything else too?

>>4519707
Regarding sensor size and such, I would just look it up but a Redditor did this spreadsheet for Digital8 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/134AwpFsc9Q-1kci3gAu-1_Q6OT5pv9PoQu_Y8AJVw6Y/edit?usp=sharing Those old camcorders were a lot of fun for sure. The compact VHS ones weren't that popular but there could be some good ones. Definitely cross shop because there might be some halo model that retard influencers have driven up the prices and a slightly different model will be a ton cheaper.

My EOS-M finally died after 10 years of filming Car repairs.
Took the 22mmF2.0 pancake lense with it.
I plan on replacing it with a used R50V with a 24mm f1.8.
Will be nice to have auto stabilization for once.

That is all.

F. Canon shouldn't have abandoned EOS-M.

Now due to retarded YouTubers, they are around $275 used.

>>4520141
That 22mm f/2 was literally worth buying into the mount. I'm ashamed they didn't replicate it with the RF mount.
Like honestly they should have just made RF the full frame mount and EF-M the APS-C.

Anyway. That's a pretty good combo to buy. I could even go so far as to rec the 16mm f/2.8 despite its shit corner performance because in video you'll be cropping the worst of it out.
Hell, even just the RF-S 18-45 might be enough for you.

>>4520179
Sorry, I meant the RF-S 14-30 PZ, not the R50 kit lens.

I wanna shoot some video footage of my son and so on. 6k/30 is the setting I wanna do. Most of my lenses have a 67mm filter thread. Is it worth it to buy something like the Nisi 67mm variable ND filter? It's damn expensive but apparently it keeps the color, etc. the same. Or is it fine to just buy a 30 euro ND filter, maybe not even variable.?

>>4520546
Cheaper NDs tend to have color-shift or messed up colors and are harder to fix in post. Read reviews before you buy. Expansive NDs are more needed if you want to share videos on social media and want everything perfect w/o needing to do a lot of extra work in post to make the video look prefect.

>>4520546
no varis are perfect, just get used to the cast and adjust it. shoot a white card or color chart at the end of the shot

>>4520602
Some varis have a weird vignetting if you throw it to the highest setting.
Personally, I'd get a 6 stop fixed ND and adjust the ISO if needed.

>>4520613
This is the way.
Use fixed NDs for maximum image quality and use ISO to adjust exposure. Stack NDs if you need Moar. A 3 stop and a 6 stop ND is usually versatile enough.

VNDs are normally trash but more convenient. Don't forget you should be using a CPL and that'll reduce light by about 1+1/2 stop.

I am very nervous about buying a used camera off of eBay but it has the most reasonable prices in the used market. Are my fears warranted?

I just explained your worst case scenario. Don't buy from jeets or obvious fake scam accounts, and otherwise just pay slick attention to the photos.
Don't buy from any "THE IMAGES FORM PART OF THE DESCRIPTION" bullshit listings where they don't actually provide a description, as they're relying on you not noticing a defect or damage then being faggots about a return because you missed it in the photos.

i've got bags and bags of filters, but for newbies varis will get them off the ground, and anyone that has to ask is new

been researching this and it turns out many cameras don't even allow you to record the top pars of the sensor for some reason. Even if you lower the quality etc, you can only record in 16:9

fucking why?

is there some homebrew software that unlocks this capability?

>>4520760
Magic Lantern might help, but I think super sampling has something to do with it

>the top pars of the sensor
the top and bottom parts*, you know to record a 3:2 video

>>4520546
Nisi is actually good, the color cast is barely noticeable and instead of going green like most VNDs it goes minimally magenta, which isn't that bad, you can skip white balance. However it is indeed expensive, the pricing is only appropriate if you're working professionally.

>>4520760
>been researching this and it turns out many cameras don't even allow you to record the top pars of the sensor for some reason. Even if you lower the quality etc, you can only record in 16:9
>fucking why?
This is what's referred to as 'open gate' if you've seen the all the discussion about it lately. There's no reason, besides purposely stopping the camera from having more cinema value. Same as the inability on several cameras to record c4k instead of uhd.
>is there some homebrew software that unlocks this capability?
The only homebrew I know of is ml which hasn't been relevant in years. The short answer is no. One of the reasons panasonic has become lucrative in the indie scene is because almost all their cameras have this capacity. Canon have just started introducing it too with the r6iii/c50/r6v. Sony have finally added it to the fx5 after years of pretending it wasn't technically feasible.

>>4514476
>315 to 959.99
Jews did this

>>4520763
You mean open gate?
It's a marketing feature now. I don't know why companies can't just issue a firmware update for people who want it on older cameras like the fx3. They released a whole new camera for it

Zach's Film School Project:
Watch films since it started that are not rated R, that do not have violence, barely any semblance of death, barely and no guns, no police, no military, and no talking of anything related to hollywood. Do that and you'll find a completely different film taste that boomers would love.

Ai-contract anon here.
Well the deal with the distributors collapsed. Ultimately they were banking on me not paying attention so that they could get a quick payday from minimal effort. But when I kept pointing out that every contract they sent me was written badly in obvious ways (so obvious that I never even got to the point where I had to get a real lawyer to check it), they eventually just got tired and told me to go do one.
As an example (because I know half the people reading will assume I was just being autisticly difficult), the last contract they sent me literally had one of the clauses cut off mid sentence. No full-stop/punctuation. Missing about 50% of what we had agreed the clause would contain. Just cut off probably from a bad copy-paste job. Obviously I can't fucking sign a contract where one of the clauses ends like that. There were also several clauses that contradicted themselves because they copy-pasted in amendments but didn't bother to check how that affected things (or on at least one occasion, added in new things to undermine the amendments).
So yeah, that sucks.
But taught me some shit about contract law.

What do you do when you stop trusting your client,mid contract? I did like 5 weddings gigs for a photographer for video and editing for 800 euros (it’s horrible I know) and I have 5 more to go and I’m way more skilled than what I charged and now I’m dreading it. I’m well manned, I’m there on time etc but he is late 1 week with the payments etc and he befriended me in the last few months but I’m not the guy to hang out with because there some traits I didn’t like about him. I was distant from the start but he is one of those people who you should be distant with. For example 2025 was less work volume for me but I had more gigs which made me feel better, I feel like a wage cuck now and I don’t like it. I made some good money in the summer but yeah looking back now that is holidays I kinda regret it and from now on I will start declining gigs

I realized the better you get the more people will try to use you so at the stage you have to go solo. I’m 33 and I feel I have to lock in soon. Thanks for reading

>>4521222
Damn, crazy.
You can also make changes/addendums to contracts yourself and send back to them to sign and date the new version.

fx3 has no opengate and 4k max resolution.
It's only popular because the Creator was shot on it and now everyone has one (convenient to have all your footage in the same format and familiar ergonomics when using the camera).
It doesn't mog any serious camera from the past 2 years except maybe the nikon zr (though it's debatable whether that counts as a serious camera).

Sony's biggest problem is sticking to this DSLR format

>>4521503
Open gate doesn't really matter. Video resolution in general doesn't matter. You can crop 30% of 4K away, upscale it, and no one will notice except for one guy that smells like cheeto dust. All people really care about is compatible accessories, reusing each others LUTs, and copying each other's techniques and settings.

if it were any other way sony wouldn't sell SHIT.

>>4521239
>You can also make changes/addendums to contracts yourself and send back to them to sign and date the new version.
I was advised not to do that (by a human). Still not sure if that was the wrong call. The reason was so that I could fully review anything they sent me rather than risk sending them a contract I hadn't fully evaluated and having them just sign it straight away.
I guess this way it also confirmed that they weren't a company I want to work with, so how I got there is kind of irrelevant.
>Care to share the name of the distributor?
No. I thought about it. If they somehow came across this post (as if), it'd be very obvious who I am and I don't want to risk them doxxing me out of pettiness.
But also, it doesn't matter. The clauses that made me originally send it back are clauses I've seen frequently talked about in film distribution groups when people talk about being fucked over. Like telling you that [dumbass company] is bad won't help. Someone might read it and go 'okay, I'll avoid them' and then sign with a different company doing the exact same thing.
I'm pretty sure there are hundreds of small distributors like this. The only due diligence is to just read the contract they send you carefully. And pay special attention to any arbitration clauses. The most important thing is making sure your ip is protected and you can quickly get your film rights back if they decide to act like dicks (I can expand on how these arbitration clauses fuck over filmmakers if you want).
Free ai services are an unbelievably great tool that levels the playing field in a way that was unfathomable even just 5 years ago. They can decipher all the complex legal jargon and explain why certain clauses are good/bad in ways that even a dumbass like me can understand.

>>4520644

What about if it craps about a few months later? eBay is usually some shit like 30 days max. At least at stores they offer warranties.

>>4521222
Sounds like things worked out relatively well for you. All the best in your future anon.

>>4521645
You're buying a used product. You're saving by foregoing a warranty and understanding there may be some wear.
Sometimes you just get unlucky and something shits the bed a day after the refund period. Same thing buying a used car. You either pay to get it repaired or you learn to live with it.
Sometimes you save half the cost of the item and get something fully functional in good condition.
>At least at stores they offer warranties.
Every store that deals in second-hand camera gear in my area is between 30 and 90 days "warranty". 90 days might seem like a lot, but unless you're shooting three times a week it's actually only one or two extra outings with it actually getting used. That's hardly much more time to work out if it'll shit itself.

>>4521645

That or you’re buying vintage shit that you can’t get any other way. Or old lenses for character. I buy them if they say no fungus; you ain’t going to get a 50 year old lens dripping with character at Best Buy.

>>4521729
>You're buying a used product. You're saving by foregoing a warranty and understanding there may be some wear.
Not at physical used stores, I can get a 2 year warranty for $50 on pretty much any camera I look at. The only issue is the used stock usually isn't as abundant as eBay.

Well you might think "well that's a few red flags but live a little, it's a fucked industry after all". Well remember the whole different tiers? I had to use ai to find what the differences between them was. Apparently there's a pricing section somewhere on the site (I couldn't find it) that explains.
The lowest tier gives you a whole 10gb of data a month. The second tier gives 60gb.
I'm sure I don't need to tell you how large a 4k feature is.

I’ll ask again- what are the good Vimeo alternatives then?

Cool. So you get 0.7% of the selection of what's available online. I can in no way see how that might be limiting.
>I can get a 2 year warranty for $50 on pretty much any camera I look at.
Anything valued less than $200 is not worth spending $50 as "warranty" on. You're basically betting against yourself half to a quarter of the value of your replacement.

I do a lot of camping and I want to be able to film the wildlife I see while out and about. Is the autofocus on the GH5 II good enough/useful enough to warrant the extra cost over the base GH5? It supposedly tracks the eyes of animals but it kind of seems like I could just focus manually.

The cheaper DSLRs just looked like cinema out of the box. With modern cameras that shoot in log or in raw (looking at you blakcmagic) you need to do a lot of work in post to make it look like cinema. If you get it right in camera all you need is an old DSLR, if you want to fix it in post you need a more modern camera and a fuckton of storage to hold everything.

What's your go-to lens for video anons? So far I've only been using a 35mm.

>>4522902
20-24mm is nice for establishing shots. 50-80mm is pretty useful for facial expressions and dialogues.
35mm is good for all-purpose shooting but lacks the character of anything else you could mount. It's the safe pick. Try shooting a scene or two with a zoom lens to find how you can frame differently depending on the context.
An infinite amount of content does this kind of focal length changes, but I just watched through Mr. Inbetween and it has some very effective environmental shots paired with facial zooms.

>>4522990
I personally use macro lenses. I started with the kit 40mm macro from Nikon when I was a kid and now I use macros whenever I can so I can get extreme closeups. It’s how I differentiate my work from everybody else.

>>4523014
the old macros have nice smooth focus rings on them too usually

Now that HDDs and SSDs are unaffordable, any tips on shrinking down footage and what I can use to convert it? Any settings recommendations? I'm doing some pretty basic footage, usually stuff for social media (models, real estate companies etc) so I'm rarely using LOG and just using 709 SOOC.

Having 4K 100mbit is overkill so I'd like to really make that smaller, something like 5-10mbit without it ending up blocky. I know it's somewhat possible since people rip TV shows and all that without them ending up blocky or having banding, so what could I use?

>>4523347
>Having 4K 100mbit is overkill
It's not. I used to shoot 1080 at about 90. 100 is actually very tiny for 4k.
If you need smaller files, shoot 1080. If you want a smaller bitrate the increased resolution won't actually make your image any better anyway. Upscale in post if you need to deliver 4k. Or make a one-time purchase of somewhere between 3 and 10tb in harddrives and have that do you over until prices eventually drop.
(If they never do, you'll have to accept the new reality regardless).

>>4523352
100mbit is still pretty heavy imo, especially with it being in mind that this is mostly for social media and not some major production. A standard 1080p blu ray is only 40mbit and I think the minimum some of my gear does on 1080p is 50mbit, which is probably still too much for what the content is.

>make a one-time purchase of somewhere between 3 and 10tb in harddrives
I'm trying man, prices are so shit now. I got a 2TB before this AI shit started for about $80 and now that same one is $350. Even my SSDs have surpassed $1000 for the same ones I have already and paid only 1/10th for,

>>4523354
if you are shooting for social media, 4K is stupid. Do what >>4523352 said and shoot 1080. You can compress using handbrake to a low bitrate and it won't be as blocky as trying to do 10mbps 4K. It depends on content though.

>>4523347
>4k 100mbit
Is reasonable but a little on the heavy side in regards to every parameter you could pick. Really depends on the scene since compression can vary in effectiveness. Might be worth downscaling to 1440p, but also have a look at chroma subsampling; TV broadcasts overwhelmingly (at least used to) use 4:2:0. This may fuck with your red channel, so review the footage after compression. Relying on SOOC might be what's fucking you here since with LOG you could set constant bitrates and tune the quality a little at a time until you were fine with the quality:filesize ratio. Maybe even shoot one or two things as LOG and take some time in post to see what you could achieve.

4k for social media is slightly overkill. Not that you asked, but 80% of your traffic is likely on phone screens no bigger than 7".

>>4519710
I ended up convincing my parents to give it to me on the condition that I digitize some of the tapes they had.

The tapes play back perfectly in the LCD but when I plug it in to my TV via a composite connection the video is really shaky and jittery. Do you know what's going on there?

>>4523402
>Might be worth downscaling to 1440p, but also have a look at chroma subsampling; TV broadcasts overwhelmingly (at least used to) use 4:2:0. This may fuck with your red channel, so review the footage after compression.
Any recommendation for settings? I've tried Handbrake and ShutterEncoder, but some of the filesizes end up ridiculously small and very obviously lose quality, no matter what speed or CRF/CQ I try using on either.

>4k for social media is slightly overkill. Not that you asked, but 80% of your traffic is likely on phone screens no bigger than 7".
For sure. There is some stuff that appears on laptops and at times on larger TVs for presentations. I also have some personal projects in the works like a travel video but I don't want the filesize on that to get out of control either. I realize quality is important but when I look at how some videos are with only 10-20mbits, they look truly good enough to me even on a TV.

>>4523406
you can save space by reencoding with h265 or x264 at medium or slow. VBR is going to be more efficient than CBR but isn't as easy to target filesizes with. You can get away with low bitrates for talking head stuff but if you have a lot of fine detail like rain and foliage, 10mbps will be bad and 20mbps will be marginal. imo, you should just buy some hard drives and not waste time with compression

>>4523402 (me)
>>4523404
I havent had to do this in a good while so I don't remember specifics. I would shoot LOG 4k60 then downscale to 2k60 or 2k30 and use RF 22(? iirc) I would get files that were around 30-60Mbps but a lot of that was slow-mo footage where most of the frame was easily compressed and it still looked pretty good.
It really does sound like your scenes are just too detail rich and compression is doing all it can. At some point you need to draw the line and if you're unhappy with how the footage looks using 4:2:0 20Mbps then unfortunately you're fucked. Just gotta deal with the bigger file sizes.

This >>4523420 anon is correct in saying that VBR is better overall, and trying to target a specific bitrate is more suitable for low-bandwidth applications. If you were ripping long-format to single layer BD-R, for instance.

>>4523423
