a few glimpses of desire - studio model shoot

[Dylan Macleod CSC]

Hey Mike
Pretty girl, pretty lighting - but seriously - get a focus puller. There is artistic focus pulling and there is "ohhhh, it's not quite there".
Otherwise, impressive imagery from that camera.

Dylan, yes, I hear you, the middle clip is too soft, next time, @Jeff,maybe I will paint two girls with gretag charts and do a comparison shoot out red vs 5d2, don't know about 5k and beauty/skin

thanks much, Jannard.

Mike I appreciate your humility!

I do have to say that Jannard guy is pretty cool. Wait until you meet Jim he is the BMOC

I love a good time!

Prost,
Rich

Mike... it is OK. Although it probably makes more sense to relate posting about another camera to something related to our program. Otherwise we should just set up canonuser.net. No aggravation at all... just a curiosity.

Jim

Jim, Its 2006 all over again

Pretty neat, girl was great...and the footage was nice, liked the look.

Jim, its only because I guess its because REDUser is a lot better then what would be a 'canonusers' forum...
Let alone I think the feedback from here is probably more constructive then anywhere else...definitely learnt a lot from here and even got help from here for my Canon camera! its crazy...

When Scarlet comes out, I'm sure it'll be almost zero canon footage and the scarlet forum will be alight with pictures and videos...going to be crazy trying to keep REDUser tamed when Scarlets are released

"as for your statement "Learn visual storytelling" a quick google search returned very little to back up those words of yours. "

Is that a joke?

@Rob, I agree, the make up could be better. as for your statement "Learn visual storytelling" a quick google search returned very little to back up those words of yours. Why not offer suggestions for change, now that would be constructive.

*facepalm*

I hope this is sarcasm.

See, now that we have google, there's no reason to go to film school anymore.

I don't know what you mean. Although Rob Ruffo is my real name, it is not the name I direct or write under. A very scary man stalked me some years back, totally randomly over an obscure music video I directed that somehow set his crazy gears in motion, and since then I use a pseudonym for all my work that goes on air. Even that pseudonym has worked much more than "his" searcheable credits, as much time is spent developing projects that get red-lit at some point or other, although they still result in a paycheck and experience.

My suggestion for change is to go out and learn visual strorytelling. I cannot replace several years of needed learning via a post here. It would be 2000+ pages long, and there is not much to comment on, as there is no story present in the clip at all, no forward movement, no structure, nothing.

You can search for "visual storytelling" on amazon.com, and get started.

This may seem mean, but it's brutally honest, and the film business is even more brutal. That said I am not known for being "nice" just, as mentionned, brutally honest.
