or just drop $600 on the Nikon P900

getting rid of all the chromatic aberration doesn't matter as much as long as you can get footage of a dope deal from 2 blocks away

I miss going to NAB. One year I found a vuln in one companies products, the engineer there didn't give a gently caress when I demoed it to them in person, so a filed and got a CVE.

ok its obvious youre on a budget because Youtube wont be paying you for a few years but

first you're going to need to get this https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1134579-REG/canon_0635c002_eos_c300_mark_ii.html



And since you're going to want to mount this above your 24" TN ~1-.,GaMeR,.1'`~ monitor you'll need this to clamp to it:https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/581220-REG/Manfrotto_155_Double_Ball_Joint.html




And you'll need a wide lens since it's not going to be far from your face but you still want bokeh

yo gently caress B&H they are a lovely company. Buy your stuff from Adorama if you're in NYC.

They had a really good deal to build out their warehouse facility in the Navy Yard, and then right when their workers were tired of their bullshit and started talking about unionizing they immediately move it to NJ.
last year the feds filed a lawsuit against them for being racist and their response was to offer to pay a $120k settlement.

LG inexplicably rebranded HDR10 to HDR Pro for no good reason other than to confuse people and make them less likely to buy their TV because well this Xbox works with HDR10 and this doesn't have that. guess I better buy a safnsung.


we have to pay licensing fees for HDR

so if we make our own HDR, people will have to pay us!

Just suck it up and get davinici resolve. You wont get any color management until you buy some hardware.

use ffmpeg CLI to convert any dogshit formats you have to real ones that Resolve supports.

The free version of DaVinci Resolve is a disgustingly good deal - the real things you get if you pay $300 (used to be $1000, used to be $30,000) are multi-GPU support, >UHD export, noise reduction, and the ability to have multiple people working on the same project simultaneously. Woo.

wait was the davinci resolve thing a real suggestion. i thought it was pagancow pagancowing

Yeah he is - they've taken what was previously just a color correction app (albeit very good) and tacked on editing. Originally it was about as good as you'd expect it to be, but now it's getting to be surprisingly decent. If you're actually editing for anything real you'll still want to do Avid/Premiere.

I wouldn't say that this is a 'broken clock twice day' situation but pagancow is pretty much this: technically right on average but the getting there is insane.

Blackmagic's business strategy is apparently 'wait for some pro A/V company to nearly go bankrupt, bail them out, actually finance their product development' and surprisingly this actually works well, because you can still charge comical amounts of money for hardware as opposed to even 'pro' software. lol if you think someone's gonna color correct a TV series with a MacBook Pro and an iPad as a control surface when the budgets currently exist to support post houses that cost 4 and 5 figgies per hour.

is there a commonly-accepted reason why The Scene has not standardized on HEVC yet? I’m guessing it’s just because dumpster hardware doesn’t have hardware decoding support yet

Option A
here's this codec which costs x dollars to use and has hardware support so customers can watch for an extended amount of time and view more ads

Option B
here's a codec which costs $0 but might cost 2x possibly more, and requires a development cost of >$0 to support oh and might have hardware support in like 4 years

also man, hi-8. i transferred a bunch of hi-8 tapes earlier this year and they are a bad, bad format.

I think there's still a couple of 767s which are close to retirement that have Hi-8 decks for inflight movies because it didn't make financial sense to put "modern" inflight systems in them.

digital video existed but it was really expensive and still looked worse than 16mm film. a digital video camera that allowed the same control over the image as a movie camera (manual focus, swappable lenses, manual exposure, etc) was way more expensive than renting a 16mm film camera and still looked worse.

but none of these students were complaining about any of that. just that film was “too hard.”

it’s always been about learning about the limitations of things and how to work with it.
you still gotta get a grip truck to light stuff with film or digital (unless you’re that guy who covertly shot a movie at Disney World). Sound is still sound.

what is the deal with foveon? I remember reading about them in a magazine back when I read magazines and I assumed that technology was everywhere now. is it all the money to license or super loving hard to make the sensors or what?

They got bought by Sigma and they still churn out a few cameras here and there. You can get an image that is a ~40 megapixel equivalent out of a $1200 body, instead of having to drop $3-4k. It'll be sharp af, but the tradeoff is that it's worse at low light, dynamic range, speed, and focusing compared to the big boys. Good for shooting landscapes (maybe portraits), but that's mostly it.
It lets you win any arguments about who has the most hipster camera.

well, everyone was wondering what they were going to do regarding hdmi 2.1 supporting variable refresh

i don't think that people expected them to go "gently caress it, we'll make our own large gsync displays" though

TV taxes can be weird in some areas. Like, it has an HDMI port = it's a TV, but DisplayPort = it's a monitor (and a computer peripheral and thus taxed lower). There can also be taxes based on screen size, which is why you'll see HDMI ports on EU SKUs (watching TV on a smaller-sized computer monitor more popular there) but not US, since you're paying a per-port licensing fee and everyone watches on their 65-inch class Vizio they got from wal-mart.
