Hi All, In the process of purchasing Zeiss Contax AEG lenses, to then Cine Mod them. It's been going pretty good, but I've received one that I'm not too sure about. A 28mm. Upon inspecting the inside of the lens using a flashlight, I saw something that could be the beginnings of haze, dirt...

DP wanted for horror/sci-fi/fantasy short film(s). Shooting in the LA or SF areas. Please be local to LA or SF or able to work as a local. Ultra low-budget so traveling expenses/boarding are pretty much non-existent. Pay is negotiable and dependent upon experience/skill. Please do keep in...

Hey all, Have some projects coming up (short films) and in need of a DP. Shorts are in the horror, sci-fi genre (think twilight zone, etc.). Some projects will be low paid as they are being made to garner social media interest for crowd funding. While a large sci-fi proof of concept short...

Hey all, So how far can you scale in on a 4K image before losing quality (softness sets in)? I realize it probably happens with 1%, but how far can you push it before it's noticeable to the eye? And if so, is there anything you can do to hide the softness? (i.e., unsharp mask, etc.) I have...

Hi all, I posted recently on something similar but now I have a couple possible avenues for the post work depending on who I end up going with (VFX/CC people) Here are the two options and how I'm understanding is the best workflow for each. Please critique anything you see being wrong...

I saw a similar post in this forum but I didn't want to hijack the conversation. So I'm posting here with a specific question in the same subject. I have r3d files, completed an offline edit with apple prores 1080p, transcoded from the RAW. Ready to move to VFX and Color. Now I know you can...

Hey Everybody, I recently shot a short film on the RED Epic at 4K, 2:4:1 ratio. So 4096 x 1708 In editing, I've had to reframe shots, many times punching in. I'm on the cusp of either mastering in 2k or 1080p. My goal would of course to get into some festivals and get it shown on the big...
