In this class we are going to look at how to shoot for VFX to ensure the VFX process is creative and not "fixing in post". #tutorials #filmmaking #howto #scifi #vfx #onset #behindthescene #tips #filmmaker #indie #education
1. chrome ball, grey ball and color checker should they be shot for every shot or just 1 master shot? 2. The lens distortion grid - Is it enough just to take one from lenses that are used? particularly not necessary for every shots? 3. How was HDRI map shot?
@jkartz92 you only need to shoot chrome ball. Grey ball and colour chart per master shot unless lighting has changed or a specific action requires it. Lens chart you shoot only the lens being used a s do it early in morning or at the end of shoot. Hdri on the films I did were shot using Theta cam
It's an Indie FEATURE, not a feature film. We make movies, not films, using DIGITAL Video. :-) Film, filming, and filmmaking are the most misused words in the industry. Digital Video and film require different skill sets. Having DIFFERENT historical and TECHNOLOGICAL timelines spanning 150 years. Have PRIDE and KNOWLEDGE of the gear we use including the words that describe what we do. Our tools are Digital Video, Non-linear, and CGI. We are moviemakers, not filmmakers and we do what film wishes it could. We are Videographers and/or cinematographers. We video or are videoing, we do not film. That's the other RARE professionals who know how to use film and film cameras, like an ARRIFLEX 435 Panavision R-200 and Steenbeck flatbed film editors. Know the difference and have a better understanding of the craft. You will also stand out in an industry polluted with point-and-shoot "pros". Respect to you. ✌♥
