Re: Help finding Wireless Dimmers

Re: WANTED: Most "film look" bang for the buck?

Alexa. That camera is dynamite. Very, very happy with it. Will be using it on season two of "Key and Peele" also.

Re: WANTED: Most "film look" bang for the buck?

Currently "banging out" a feature, in the sense that we have way too few hours and days in the schedule to make it at the speed of "artistry". But still, it looks good. It just means that we cut...

Re: Glidecam/Steadycam Question

Theoretically it could be possible to get away without side to side balance if everything is truly square on the rig. In reality, EVERY rig has a certain amount of play and "gremlins" that will...

Re: Glidecam/Steadycam Question

I have yet to see any stabilizer, big or small, of any brand, that didn't require minute adjustment in either lateral axis throughout the course of the day. As I recall, the handheld Glidecams...

Re: Lorinda Norton's 80's video camera makes the big time!

Ugh--I still have UMatic 60's with a single :30 spot on them. One of these years I'll hire someone to digitize them for me, along with my VHS, S-VHS, HI8 and regular 8, Betacam, Digi Beta...probably...

Re: Lorinda Norton's 80's video camera makes the big time!

I guess that means "can't watch it"...?! Try searching for Snoop Dogg, "Sensual Seduction". I'm sure it's viewable somewhere.

Re: Lorinda Norton's 80's video camera makes the big time!

Well, over the course of the 80's home camcorders migrated from tube to chip (I have a foggy memory that while most were CCD, even then a few CMOS models appeared but they were not ready for prime...

Re: Want to emulate Jimmy Fallon VideoVision

Josh's suggestions are all great--there's a particular funk to multiple generation VHS that you can't simulate without multiple duping to VHS.

To REALLY nail it, you could pick up an old video...

Re: Lorinda Norton's 80's video camera makes the big time!

Here's that test clip I made to show the "awfulness" of the camera...that green tint is amazeballs. I was doing my best "bad" camerawork to augment the look!

Gotta love the light trails in the...

Re: New LED interview lighting DVD from Vortex Media - anyone seen it?

Sure. But the point is, you can make a kit with full spectrum incandescent lighting for a fraction of that. So regardless of all of the functional advantages of budget LED kits, the final result (the...

Re: My review - New LED interview lighting DVD from Vortex Media

Strictly speaking, what's not to like about LED's is that most of the products on the market (especially "budget" units) fall short in reproducing the complete spectrum, so the results will be less...

Re: Advantage of S-log

That's a good test Chris and one I would like to see at some point. I guess we never really shot blank walls on our show! Or, underexposed significantly to hold overexposure.

Re: Advantage of S-log

I'd like to add my two cents on this discussion. I have mentioned this in other threads but I think it is relevant to this one.

Re: Shooting with the F3 on "Key & Peele" for Comedy Central

There's a few bust-ups, sure!

I thought the barmitzvah sketch was great also! Lot of great improv in that, Christopher Guest-style.
