7 Commandments of Film Editing and compositionRead more: 7 Commandments of Film Editing and composition1. Watch every frame of raw footage twice. On the second time, take notes. If you don’t do this and try to start developing a scene premature, then it’s a big disservice to yourself and to the director, actors and production crew. 2.

Get the main intention of the film as soon as possible from the director. 3. Organize your media so that you can find any shot instantly. 4. Factor in extra time for renders, exports, errors and crashes. 5. Attempt edits and ideas that shouldn’t work. It just might work. Until you do it and watch it, you won’t know.

Create fluid and seamless audio under your video. 7. Make cuts for the scene, but always in context for the whole film. Have a macro and a micro view at all times.

Photography basics: Lumens vs Candelas (candle) vs Lux vs FootCandle vs Watts vs Irradiance vs IlluminanceRead more: Photography basics: Lumens vs Candelas (candle) vs Lux vs FootCandle vs Watts vs Irradiance vs Illuminancehttps://www.translatorscafe.com/unit-converter/en-US/illumination/1-11/ The power output of a light source is measured using the unit of watts W. This is a direct measure to calculate how much power the light is going to drain from your socket and it is not relatable to the light brightness itself. The amount of energy emitted from it per second. That energy comes out in a form of photons which we can crudely represent with rays of light coming out of the source. The higher the power the more rays emitted from the source in a unit of time. Not all energy emitted is visible to the human eye, so we often rely on photometric measurements, which takes in account the sensitivity of human eye to different wavelenghts Details in the post

HDRI Median Cut pluginRead more: HDRI Median Cut pluginwww.hdrlabs.com/picturenaut/plugins.html  Note. The Median Cut algorithm is typically used for color quantization, which involves reducing the number of colors in an image while preserving its visual quality. It doesn’t directly provide a way to identify the brightest areas in an image. However, if you’re interested in identifying the brightest areas, you might want to look into other methods like thresholding, histogram analysis, or edge detection, through openCV for example. Here is an openCV example: (more…)
