    ShadowCaptain got a reaction from slichy in feature film workflow   
    I was just saying its interesting how consumer editing stuff is used more and more these days as it becomes powerful
     
    The line between "consumer" "prosumer" and "pro" in photo and cinema are getting smaller

    Many big studios are using consumer cameras and software (even if only for small parts of movies) like how on the martian they used go pros and stuff and mad max used olympus MFT cameras as the on car cameras

    It shows that you dont need an Arri Alexa and full blackmagic desk of toys just to shoot and edit

    But every movie, every studio, every editor will use differnet software,
     
    a lot of CGI uses bespoke software too

    I agree.  A software or hardware does not make the professional.  "Professional" comes from how you work.  You can be a professional video editor even with something like Movie Maker if you know how to use it well and all your productions or what the clients wants in the products you deliver are capable of being achieved with that tool alone.
     
    You don't become a professional by buying a $10000 camera or $5000 software.  You become a professional when clients come to you and you tell them "Yes, I can create what you want, it will take me X amount of time and cost you Y amount of money and I guarantee that it will be want you want."  Obviously if the client wants 4K video and all you own is a camera from the 90s that records standard definition you need to invest in gear.

    The software and methods differ by studio, there is no "definitive list"

    Something like this gives a good general overview of all the things that go into a movie, but its not a rule

    Its not THAT different to editing a movie at home, just it takes a lot more people with a lot more things to do

    Heck some movies are made in commercial software, these 10 movies were edited in final cut on a mac

    ShadowCaptain got a reaction from kelvinhall05 in Thumbpad on a laptop(True gaming lap)   
    Why? it would be impossible/uncomfy to use with your thumb (or unreachable) and weird and inaccurate using your finger top down, plus no access to any other buttons which you need
     
    Use a controller, or use a mouse (I use a 360 pad and a  mouse on the wrist rest)
     
    Plus, the laptop chassis would have to be really thick for that

    The board ONLY supports 2133mhz RAM so your 2400mhz ram will run at 2133

    Yeah the new Yi 4k is a great camera, possibly on of the best on the market and reasonably priced too
     
    Though obviously like a top end go pro is still a good option

    Is it any good? its one of the best movies ever made and one that every single person should watch
     
    Beautifully shot and acted

    ShadowCaptain reacted to dalekphalm in Why are movies and music videos always in 24-30 fps?   
    I agree with the last point. Sticking with 24fps simply because that's what we've always done is no way to progress. We need more than just one movie trilogy (which were all filmed back to back, so there was very little advancement between films) to see how this technology will pan out.

    In all honestly, if Clinton gets elected I think we have the same old shit just a different day. If Trump gets elected, I figure 1 month before Global Thermal Nuclear War.

    ShadowCaptain reacted to Jason Betts in Buying chocolate on Amazon (Or any website)   
    I would, if I disliked Amazon. While they can be expensive, they're also convenient and, at least in my experience, exceedingly nice. Now, if Walmart were doing this, hell I'd order free candy all day... but not from a company that's treated me well.

    hell here is an article from 2014
    https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2014/04/09/germ-a09.html
     
    "This tendency is rising sharply. The number of vehicles produced in Romania rose by 21 percent to 400,000, the fastest increase of any country globally.
    The auto companies are building entire factories in Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and increasingly China. Volkswagen (VW) mainly produces in Poland for exports, and in Russia for the domestic market. Since 2011, VW has carried out the labour-intensive process of assembling all cars below the Golf class outside of Germany."
