SmallRig’s Post

Shot a PPF install over at Lucid Automotive Aesthetics. I decided to challenge myself, doing the entire video handheld. I think it offered an awesome perspective and got away from the typical gimbal content you see. I think it had a more "raw" feeling to it, and deliberately a little less polished. Trying new things, and challenging yourself is super important for growth. Through trying new things, I've failed, learned what doesn't work, and WHY it doesn't work. This enables me to understand my craft even deeper, and has allowed me to dial in the exact look and feeling I try to achieve in a production. How do you challenge yourself? #photography #photographer #videographer #videography #cinematography #cinematographer #oklahoma #media #mediaproduction #contentcreation #contentcreator #sonyalpha #DOP #detailing #detailer #PPF #ppfinstaller #paintprotectionfilm

A matte box adapter ring is a component used in cinematography and photography equipment. A matte box is a device that is attached to the front of a camera lens to control and block unwanted light from entering the lens, preventing lens flares and improving image quality. It also allows the use of various filters, such as ND (neutral density) filters and polarizers, to achieve specific creative effects.   The matte box adapter ring is an essential part of the matte box system. It connects the matte box to the camera lens and ensures a secure and proper fit. These adapter rings come in various sizes to accommodate different lens diameters. When choosing a matte box adapter ring, you need to select one that matches the diameter of your camera lens.   Here's how it typically works:   ❤️ Select the Correct Diameter: Determine the diameter of your camera lens. It is usually indicated on the front of the lens or in the lens specifications.   ❤️ Choose the Adapter Ring: Purchase a matte box adapter ring with the same diameter as your lens. For example, if your lens has a 77mm diameter, you would need a 77mm matte box adapter ring.   ❤️ Attach the Matte Box: Screw the matte box adapter ring onto the front of your lens. This provides a threaded connection that allows you to attach the matte box securely.   Mount the Matte Box: Once the adapter ring is in place, you can attach the matte box to it. The matte box typically slides onto the adapter ring and can be locked in position. #LingoFoto #MatteBox #Cinematography #FilmmakingGear #CameraAccessories #LensAccessories #FilmProduction #VideoProduction #PhotographyGear #CameraRig #FilmTech #IndieFilmmaking #CameraSetup #FilmCrew #BehindTheScenes #CreativeTech

Versatile Tool : Chimera Chimera also known as soft box, is a versatile lighting tool used in cinematography and photography. It is a fabric-covered frame with a diffuse material inside, which helps to create a soft, flattering light that minimizes the harsh shadows. The main uses of Chimera are:  1. Softening Light: The main purpose of Chimera is to soften and diffuse light. By spreading the light over a larger area and diffusing it, Chimera helps eliminate harsh shadows and creates more flattering light for capturing subjects. 2.Smooth Illumination: Chimera makes sure that light is evenly distributed across, which helps in reducing the need for additional adjustments during post production. 3.Controlled Lighting: The filmmakers get best control on intensity and direction of light with the use of Chimera. This allows more precise lighting setups and ability to create different moods according to the scene requirements. 4.Versatility: The Chimera comes with different sizes and shapes, which allows filmmakers to choose the right one according to the scene requirement. From large rectangular soft-boxes for full-body shots to small octagonal ones for portraits, they come with versatility. 5.Portability: Chimera is a light-weight tool and easy to assemble. So it makes a convenient option for on-location shoots and space and time is limited. Portability allows filmmakers to achieve professional setups wherever needed.

Why should you use cine lenses? 🤔 When picking lenses for a project, you've got tons of options in several categories. So why not choose a photography lens, modern or vintage? Maybe you need the durability of a lens without electronics. Maybe it's the linear focus mechanism with teeth for a follow focus. Or maybe it's just the unbeatably pleasant character of the optics. Whatever you pick, it's always a good idea to consider it carefully. Having the right tools for the right job, will make your next shoot both a breeze and a blast. #lens #cinelens #slrmagic #cinematography #videography #productioncompany #productiontips

🔥Added some product shots to the cinematic story!🔥 👏Every back ground noise adds to the story. City noises, deadlifts dropping, cracking open the GHOST energy drink. 🎥Telling a story and drawing the viewer in can come from so many different angles to the video. 🤝Everything has a story as a photographer and videographer it’s up to you on how you want to create it. #ghostenergy #videography #photography #cinematography

🆕 #Reconstructing 360° scenes from a few RGB #images? That is the goal of the generalizable method, NeO 360. It encodes information about complex #outdoor scenes using a special 3D representation that combines different viewpoints. In this way, it enables #generalization to new views and scenes from any perspective, even using just a single image as a reference for the generation. Not only NeO 360 outperforms generalizable reference methods (e.g., PixelNeRF) for the synthesis of new views, but also offers #editing and composition capabilities opening doors for creative applications in various fields. 🤔Will this technology be used in photography and cinematography?
