@Shian What GoPro were you using?

In a sea of April Fool's jokes, this ain't no joke: 25% off everything throughout April. Call it a tax break for the little guys.

Not even the competition can deny... CG Pro... is kinda awesome.

I just discovered this thread and the tool! gonna buy me the $100 or $140 package I like sticking to Premiere and not swtiching to AE so the $100 package would be more suitable for me I guess? what's the stuff that I will be missing? GHrain Killer, Gradients, and ColorFist? what do those do? thanks for the heads up

@shian Resolve is quite good as an editor but it's VERY basic compared to other editing software. It also needs quite powerful hardware to run in real time. Things like adding 3D objects with matte & fill are complicated and require using 3 different parts of the interface. I think it will get there, but I think it will be quite some time before it's fast enough or flexible enough for serious commercial style editing.

ColorGHear with 4k GH4 footage.

Also ColorGHear price reductions till Jan 1st, FYI

As always, will find it interesting.

^^^ not sure I completely understand the question. Do u mean in general or using the LUT Utility, etc?

It's possible. With the 3rd party LUT Utility it still functions the same way, but I don't really recommend it as the stacking order with the color correction node is confusing. It uses the in-app color correction first, but won't allow you to do any further tweaks after the LUTs. And changing your mind is a pain. There's a lot of deleting nodes, and then having to copy and paste attributes.

If you can get Resolve to at least operate on your system, whether or not it will render fully, you can export your work as a LUT from Resolve (I show you how) and apply it in FCP-X. Resolve is the best place to learn. AFX is 2nd best.

So I'm working on a pretty extensive look at Blade Runner for the Film School course, and in it, I talk about how to translate the 3d world into 2 dimensions and then into something you can use to make better images. And one of the things I am suggesting to EVERYONE is that they take some sort of an art class... mostly to learn about perspective and composition.

This class is amazing! And it's only $15 http://artstudyonline.com/rc01/course/ipad-artist-environment-perspective

I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to be a cinematographer and/or director. One of the things that lent itself heavily to Ridley Scott's vision was his background as an artist and art director - his ability to translate the 3 dimensional world into 2 dimensions, and his ability to draw. I'm not saying you have to learn to draw. I am saying you should UNDERSTAND drawing techniques because they will change the way you view the world, and subsequently they will change the way you shoot. I can't draw very well, but I understand the techniques employed and when I learned them it changed the way I view the world when it comes to shooting.

What the hell went wrong?

So I'm watching 2 movies the other night trying to apply the principles of the tutorials on composition I'm still producing, and I'm just stumped.

"Fury" - Incredibly well thought out and shot, really fantastic!! (Ayer and Vasyanov) and "The Equalizer" - A complete shitshow (Fuqua and Fiore)

Now, either "Fury" had comprehensive storyboarding that was followed to the letter, or an amazing tandem of Director and Cinematographer who were both in alignment with how the movie should be shot. Judging by the almost flawless composition and in some cases brilliant composition, I'm gonna go with storyboarding with a lot of Vasynov's input... as Ayer is hit and miss.

But with "The Equalizer" I'm totally befuddled. I now have to go back and watch the other movies Fuqua and Fiore have done together, cuz I know Fiore knows his shit. But maybe they had no pre-production to plan everything out, and maybe neither he nor Fuqua can compose shots on the fly... cuz it's just fucking awful, it was distractingly awful.

How did you already get your activation?
