Article Comment – What Cinematographers Need to Know About Shutter Angle

Came here to say this too.

A 45º shutter means the shutter is open a very short time. 45º was sort of the default shutter for the late 90's/early 2000's hip hop videos and any Scott brothers action scene from Gladiator onwards.

Article Comment – Is Martin Scorsese a Hypocrite?

It’s no slam dunk. It’s not the Avengers.

Eye roll.

Give it up about the comic books, seriously.

This movie is so head and shoulders above that kind of crap and it’s not even one of Scorsese’s best. It was a return to form though. The same can be said about Deniro and Pacino too.

This is a parody, right? Early April Fool’s joke?

Article Comment – Watch David Lynch Get Mad (Really Mad) While Planning 'Twin Peaks: The Return'

That’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen. Fighting the good fight. The producers or upm or studio or AD or whoever are just thinking of making it fit in as the most efficient way you can in terms of the budget and schedule...without one thought to the exploration, discovery, and the artistic process, and even though some people might see it as negative, sometimes I think the only way some people are going to listen is to raise your voice and change the tone. It sucks to do that, and no one wants to be the bad guy, but I don’t think Lynch wants to shoot the equivalent of an episode of Gilligan’s Island or something. The people on the money side, might’ve been totally screwed, maybe there just weren’t any funds there, I dunno/who knows, but in any case, everything DL was expressing it totally understandable.

Article Comment – DJI Force Makes Controlling Your Ronin Extremely Intuitive

This is the perfect tool...just take it off the handlebars and put the mimic on a geared head or fluid head. The big problem with using the handlebar by holding it in the air is that any kind of muscle twitch or lapse in concentration translates to errant camera
motion. Or picture using it on a process trailer where the R2 is on the picture car and you are sitting in the back of the tow vehicle...if you are using a mimic or Force Pro mounted to wheels, tripod, or joystick, the camera will be still...but if you use handlebars every time you hit a bump in the road, every time your centrifical force changes around the turns, the camera will be listing all over the place.

Article Comment – RED News: Introducing the New DSMC2 Production Module

So...can’t red just give you 2 HD-SDI’s without yet another module to do it? Also, is there no A/B version?
