ColorGHear [PART 2]
@shian Cool. I'm just gonna have to go with a P4k, at least until an Alexa mini falls off the back of a truck.

ColorGHear [PART 2]
@shian I meant in terms of shadows rather than reflections. Are you planning on getting any of these new mirrorless bodies? I'm liking what I'm seeing from the X-T3 a lot. I've been shooting ML raw exclusively for a few years, not su…

@bannedindv Thx @shian Yikes! True happiness is a life spent busting your arse on a collective farm. I agree that analog modelling makes having the real thing obsolete, and materialism will get us all killed, but you can take my vinyl out of my …

It's been a long time since I worked on the cutting edge of digital audio recording but from memory the harshness was due to aliasing.16bit dithering helped. 24bit was much less harsh. But the digital master pales in comparison to the vinyl, wh…

I do use some very realistic sounding plugins, but they don't sound better than the real thing. We used valves to take the edge off the harshness of digital at the A/D phase, this was 1999, 24bit A/D had only just become affordable to indie pro…

So you're telling me the album I spent 4 years making would've sounded just as good without the valve pre-amps, EQ, limiters, and compressors. Wow, what a waste of money that was.

@shian How expensive?

Fujifilm X-T3, 4K p60 internal video
Me too. I don't see the point in buying camera with rolling shutter equal to a camera I bought in 2010.

Nikon Z7 - First Mirrorless Generation Camera made for still shooter
This thing could be very cool. I have a feeling the 10 bit out will leave almost everything else for dead dynamic range and color wise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwHKZWk-OP0

BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K
I think the sensor/mount part could be a detachable micro that's attached to a pocket wireless controller/monitor.

Best indoor mic for under $1,000?
I meant to say NT3, obviously.

Best indoor mic for under $1,000?
@shian Looks kinda heavy. I started out with an NTG3, heavy, but nice sound. I don't mind heavy though because I like to make my sound boy suffer (he loves it). I picked up a pair of Jim William's custom modded AKG C 460 Bs which sound rea…

ColorGHear [PART 2]
@shian I thought that shot I showed you in the tunnel looked too flat so I re-shot it. A sniper with Parkinson's wasn't a great look either. I didn't use ColorGHear 'cause it's just a rough proxy edit grade, and I'm laz…

I can picture @kurth outside a cake shop that makes gay wedding cakes with a sign saying: "it's too much tolerance; a complete lack of intellectual discretion, and I don't have to live with it". No @kurth you don't have to l…

Thanks mate. I just hope I can raise enough cash to make every shot look a lot better.

Capitalism: Bourgeoisie all around the world pushes workers rights back
My great uncle led the fight for the 40hr week in the 1880s. He was sacked from his job and elected to parliament. We've been going backwards for over a generation. Rights not fought for are rights lost; look at the US. What we're seeing n…

Sony Alpha hacks talk
Heh. Good luck with that Sony. Looks like they're shit scared of someone unlocking the raw video capabilities they're deliberately holding back to maximise their profits. To hell with that.

Nikon D500 official topic
@Azo Affirmative. Although the D500 may be a bit better on the video side, particularly in 1080p mode. No 10bit out, but Nikon color and a bit more dynamic range.

Nikon D500 official topic
The D500 has an APS-C sensor, so I'm not sure what you mean by an FX 4K comparison. If you want to compare the 4k 1.5x crop with the DX 1080p then shoot with a 35mm DX and 24mm 4K to match FOV, and a 28mm for the 1.3x crop. Yeah 54mm on FX woul…

@shian Lulz! Think I might drill some holes in my Leicas to let some more light in.
