@PatrickStirling Yes, this is much needed. I'll keep an eye on your progress with this. My hope is that this can become a standard method to generate lower third graphic in the future.

I'm making some insanely cool stuff for DaVinci Resolve...

@LuvEvelynClaire It’s a light leak of a few possible reasons. One was the back door opened and a few shots got exposed to light. Another option is the shutter go stuck an overexposed part of the frame could also be the curtain go stuck and the film got overexposed. As said; numerous possibilities

Film nerds, what’s this damage typically from? I’m learning!

@MovieMantz I'm done with the Comic Book movie craze. Thus all of them are a wait till they hit streaming now. Let me see original movies in theaters. Those are the ones that deserve the money.

MOVIE POLL: When are YOU seeing SUPERMAN??

@SonyAlpha None, but have Sony A7IV for stills. Video/Cinema I use Blackmagic, and now have the phenomenal URSA Cine 12K! FX6 is fine for rental for corporate video content at times. Otherwise, most other FX cameras don't have what I need/want.

Alpha Community, poll time! If you own a FX series camera, which one do you own? Tell us what you use it for and what you like about it in the comments.

@SonyAlpha None of those features are the most important. Dynamic range, color science, and image resolution all are more important factors. The image produced by the camera matters more than anything.

Which feature is most important to you when choosing a camera?

@MovieMantz It's a great scene. And, a well orchestrated oner shot as well when you watch the entire scene/shot. Well done by the entire team, and really showcases Reeve's great acting ability. The word they lived by when making this film was "verisimilitude."

THIS SCENE from 1978’s “SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE” is THE REASON why CHRISTOPHER REEVE will ALWAYS be my #1 favorite CLARK KENT/SUPERMAN — And this scene was also a favorite of Reeve’s as well!

@MovieMantz @MissionFilm @TomCruise I love Rogue Nation and Fallout probably the most. Both are so good. I love the Opera Sequence in Rogue Nation. Fallout has some of the most amazing action sequences.

With @MissionFilm “THE FINAL RECKONING” opening next month, which @TomCruise “MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE” movie do you LOVE THE MOST?

@motionbynick Clearly you haven't used the industry standard: Nuke. There's a reason Nuke is the industry standard for compositing in the film industry. But Adobe Fanboys will keep drinking the Kool Aid and live in the delusion that After Effects is better.

Change my mind: After Effects is the superior 3D program

@MattiHaapoja That’s true. The problem is the back end of the film distribution. Films have the hardest time making their money back now more than ever. And, the costs of what you put in from of the camera (on screen) are still fairly high. So be responsible with budgeting.

Just finished at NAB (the biggest camera gear event of the year) and I gotta say there’s never been a time like this for filmmakers and storytellers. With all the tools and gear at decently reasonable prices there is very little excuses for not being able to do what you want to do. Ball is in your court 🙌🏻

@andysignore Yeah, I didn’t like this season much. It was a frustrating finale. But the twist that he was his father was good. That’s maybe it. Sad for Chelsea as well. Overall, not as good a season as past ones.

Man that White Lotus Season 3 Finale left me very frustrated… SPOILER: I can’t believe we didn’t get at least a few more reactions from the Ratliffs as they got their phones. All that build up for NOTHING? I assume he’s bringing her back for another season, but I needed a Parker Posey reaction there.. Boo…. Also sooo sad for Chelsea 😞 And dude had to kill man for Mook?? #TheWhiteLotus #whitelotusfinale #TheWhiteLotus3

Excited to be getting the CoreSWX Helix Max 275Wh B-Mount Batteries for my new URSA Cine 12K LF. Also got the Mach 4 Quad Charger (B Mount). Highly recommend any batteries from Core SWX! I'm Core Driven! coreswx.com/?wlr_ref=REF-A…

Today’s the day my new URSA Cine 12K arrives!!! Batteries later this week. B Mount Battery Plate still on back order.

@initialfocus Yeah, I plan on selling my UMPG2 w/ Rawlite OLPF now that I'm getting the URSA Cine 12K. Similar boat of selling old gear. My camera arrives Wednesday, but still no battery mount, PL mount, or power supply. Still back ordered.

Selling: $2,200 (includes a bunch of accessories not pictured yet)
