SA is a great place for filmmakers, you have all the film infrastructure needed from indy to high-end plus the most stunning locations and great weather. SA is surely not the worst place to be, as a filmmaker. hopefully we can see some of your work soon.

wow, for realtime CG this looks great. better than i expected. just to understand what you guys did. your talent is bluescreen and you mapped him on a card, fire is 100%cg particle, looks like 2,5d mapped texture on cards facing camera plus some 3d sparkles. environment is half modeled and it...

you don't belive me, wow, well then go to www.movie-grinder.com and see my filmografie: http://movie-grinder.com/filmografie/ do you know the guy from the AOL commercial, it is Borris Becker and the commercial is from 1996 or the Zentis Commercial it is Michael Schumacher, i think that was...

;-) ;-) yes with scifi it is super obvious that is is cheaper to build the enterprise in CG than building the real thing. but even with the tiny things. have a look at "girl with dragon tattoo", there is not sooo much CG envolved, but DD added snow in many shots. obviously snow is not the most...

yes that is true, i am working in vfx for only a little over 20 years now, from tv commercials to hollywood blockbuster, i should not make a statement that early in my career ;-)

when people talk about CG it is allways a chat about the good old times, or that real effects (what ever it is) look better, but that is not the point of CG, not at all. using CG is a question of money, it is simply cheaper. so if you have endless resources then don't use CG, if you don't have...

i don't own a GH4, i have a 5D but a friend of mine has a GH4 and i borrowed it a few times. i think that the GH4 is a very good dslr style camera, when i see the price of this camera in the used camera market then i think it is still very hard to find a better camera for this price. but the...

ok we are talking about two slightly different things here. sRGB and Rec709 are somewhere in the same area when we talk about the screen gamma. and they are only in the same area when you compare that to linear or log. the difference between sRGB and Rec709 is very very noticable when you...

;-) yes, i know what you are talking about, i am in that age too ;-) well then do it with your 40inch hd tv or what ever monitor you have, choose a viewing distance that matches the hight of your monitor.

hey Jax, yes, the noise example is a very good one, that is something you can see right away. the lower contrast and lifted blacks in a projection makes noise very obvious and it is super importend to take care about the noise/grain on a big screen, especially coz you are more focused on a...

well it sounds good, but unfortunately it is not true. i would not disagree with your out of focus argument, that might be true, i can not really tell coz the shots i am working on are usually in focus, but you can try it at home, watch a shot on a 24inch monitor with a normal viewing distance...

there is no such thing like "a perfect camera". a camera must fit your needs, and work in a way you like. i personally own 2 kameras, a canon 5dmk2 and a lumix gh-2. i would not recommend either of these cameras today, but the point is. one camera (5D) has a large sensor and it can shoot raw...

when you do color grading, then it is important to know that different distribution channels have different color spaces. web, tv and cinema are different in terms of color. when you are grading on a tv reference monitor then you need to know that tv expects lifted blacks and a lowered whites...

i am using a 5DMK2 with ML, and from the technical side it looks good. don't worry about the big screen, in general you see less details and less glitches in cinema than on a nice 24inch monitor on your desk. but shooting a whole film in ML raw will drive you mental. ML raw is a disaster in...

can you share one frame to get an idea and build a setup?
