Re: OT: Anton Bauer battery life expectancy?
I had my first set of Dionic 90's last 5 years, with periods of hard use followed by weeks of non-use. I never left them on a charger. Sometimes they would run down so far there was nothing on the...

Re: Zeiss Otus 1.4/55

Re: Cinematographer ? what's that ?
Well, I'll tell ya, guys. The old ways are the old ways, and I'm learning to put them behind me. I was legitimately getting paid work as a DP (aka cinematographer--in the US at least, they are...

Re: creating fireworks flicker?

Re: New season of Key & Peele!
The first sketch with the old JVC KY-1900 cameras has emerged. I cannot tell you how much fun it was to shoot as "badly" as this requires--lighting/framing/movement all crafted to look as dated as...

Re: Dedolight alternatives?
Agreed on the Source 4 suggestion--a lot of flexibility there and quite a bit cheaper. Dedos are great for working in close, they are capable of great subtlety. I've been waiting to see if they will...

Re: creating fireworks flicker?
Real fireworks wouldn't be ideal if dialogue was involved, for obvious reasons.
Depending on how many people you need to see in the shot, I'd probably do it with a series of tungsten instruments...

Re: Over the top use of cameras much, Toyota?
I checked in with Roger Deakins who shot that clip (!) and he said it was indeed not staged--the Titan crane clipped the mag and sheared the mount in a flash. You can see him bolting away from the...

Re: TV monitor in the shot
One thing to add: both LCD's and plasmas will exhibit color shifts depending on your angle to the screen. OLED monitors will avoid this phenomenon.
