Washed out colors? Have you ever shot on super 8 film? Like Ektachrome 100D or Tri-X black and white? The exposure latitude and color saturation are INSANE. You could spend hours color correcting a DSLR shot and not get the same level of color intensity.

I wonder how much of you feeling like you were immersed in the story came from the simple fact that you were watching it a second or third time. If I was watching the same scene or movie 3 times in a row I'd probably be more "into it" the 3rd time too, even if they were all just straight up 2D. My old film prof at USC…
Super 8 cameras/projectors/editing machines. Shooting on film is a lost art. It's still possible to do, and you can get cameras on eBay and pay through the nose for film stock and transfer, but there was something magical about the kinds of wacky wonderful home movies people made on Super 8. It's not the same anymore,…
Yeah, file not found. Sad.
I agree with everything you say about 12 Monkeys (with particular appreciation for Bruce Willis's performance, which is often overlooked next to Pitt's), but I want to add that you really should watch La Jetee again. I could watch it over and over. It's more than just a "weird short film," it's a meditation on the…
No. He is not basically just crazy.
I seem to remember an episode of the original GI Joe cartoon where Cobra Commander melted it on command as part of a plot.
Maybe your needs are different than mine. Over at USC film school, I left with a decent PT knowledge, enough to get work in the movie biz. When I arrived at Universal as a young wet-behind-the-ears sound editor I was cutting TV dialogue at 9 minutes a day. By the time I left 4 years later I was up to 15 minutes a day.…
I voted for Pro Tools because it's unbelievable how much it can do. You can use it as a DAW, you can sequence, you can record, you can edit, you can mix. I worked in Hollywood as a sound effects editor for 6 years and everything - foley recording, music recording, dialogue and effects editing, and final mix - was all…
Use the Rule of Thirds to achieve good-looking compositions. Also use the Rule of 180 when shooting multiple shots in a scene you wish to edit together.
I read somewhere that Avenir is the closest thing you can get to the original hand-painted "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON" font.
Yeah, but like...the kind of CG that doesn't look like straight to video dreck. In the decades since these shows have been on the air the tech has gotten a million times better. Let's see it on screen.
Now playing
enjoy!
All I want is something new. No prequels, no revisiting old plotlines or recycling characters just to recycle them and do a bunch of fanservice. You can have the same races, some of the same dynamics, but play them out in new ways. Bring in game-changers. I would love folks like Scalzi or Doctorow writing crazy wicked…
I'd like to see him do the score for Superman, which is for my money the best classic John Williams score.
I like the stock, esp. in ICS where they have that nifty thumb side control.
I want what I want from every console: new IP. I don't want ports or sequels.
Ehn, I don't think it's better than the book, but I also don't hate it. It's WAAAAY better than the miniseries, that's for sure.
Just so I'm clear, did you position the Smokenator so that the coals were right over the fan hole that you made for the partyQ? Or is the partyQ air inside the great open part where the meat is?
It's really counterintuitive at first. You are basically starving the coals of air in order to make them burn slower and thus last longer and lower the temperature, but still give them enough air to burn a little bit. If you were searing steaks you would want the fan running full blast (or have your vents open all the…
