Just was sitting around and Titanic was on. I just cant get over the fact that when the ship is going down the people sliding downward on the ship, how obvious and in sight the dollies were. I mean they were so exposed, it just really killed the flix for me. Was anyone aware of this when in production. Jezzzzz!
emm, this line of thought comes to me every time i get greenscreen footage with an actress or whatever and she is wearing a beautiful, long dress, GREEN of course.
yeah, sometimes production makes mistakes 🙂what i find most irritating is when lazy DOP’s use high speed film for all their blue/green screens…cos they barely have to adjust any lights!!!!

If you’re shooting a blue/greenscreen for a sequence and then shoot said shots with a stock that may be good for keying, but look different to the rest of the sequence, then that is the reason why, it’s also the reason why many blue/greenscreen shots are now being roto’d.

absolutely true and thats good valid reason…problem is in ASIA they’re just lazy.period.[not to mention the on set producer pushing to shoot faster!]

I’ve been working in tvc and broadcast for a while in a Post house (china), now i’m a freelancer and its even worst coz i’m now using only after effect so its sometime a nightmare with rendering time.
But to be honest, this situation develop some different skills, its not all bad.ha ha …well i guess new tools come out sometimes cos of shoot related problems eh?

Yeah, sure there are still some idiots out there, but TRUST ME, it’s not that simple.
