I been working on my frequency separation. Trying to get that good skin texture.
cotdamnWorked on a interview/documentary style project with a friend of mine last Friday. Put together the sequencing and audio syncing Friday night, then I went and did the color correction Saturday... was completely done, til I go to render it
Vegas Pro 12 was telling me the shyt would take like 16 to 20 hours. So I cancelled it like, I gotta find some other way. Looked in to some various techniques for exporting the sequence files in either XML, Premiere Pro project file, AAF etc to bring over into Resolve or Premiere... hell whatever brought my timeline over was going to be what I was using because I didn't even trust letting some shyt render for 20 hours.
I tried Resolve first, and the timeline was broken. Wasn't importing the sequence at all, I flattened it and everything, but instead of it displaying the chopped up clips, it would put the entire clip's footage in the timeline, so the audio was all fukked up. So after doing that a few times, I was like, man fukk it, I'm a just let this shyt render over night and go from there.
Let it render from Sunday to Monday morning, wake up and the shyt says it's completed... but there's also an error message. Go to the video's location and the video doesn't play at all.
....
16 hour render time too.
At that point, I said fukk it, let me try Premiere again. Was able to import the timeline fine, but all the color edits didn't transfer, so I had to start doing that from scratch. Which isn't too bad, cause once I finish one scene I could apply the settings to the others. Was making progress, had redid most of the clips, then I get to the last set a clips that needed color correction and I get hit with a "Media Pending" message on it...
I couldn't even see the video to apply any edits to it. I googled the issue online and saw that others have had this happen as well, but they all had different solutions for it so I was lost as fukk. I was literally on the last crop of videos to modify before being done with this shyt. SOOO then I was like let me sign up for the trial version of the latest copy of Vegas Pro just so I could drop the .veg file in there and render this shyt. Register for their site, wait for the trial code, and it never comes. It's hours later today and they still ain't send shyt.
Luckily, I had an older project file saved prior to the Media Pending bullshyt so I just reverted to that and had to REDO all the video effects for now the 3rd time.
Finally finished all that shyt last night, rendered it over night again, wake up this time and the video plays, but there's no audio
What a weekend...

I'm heading back out to the Norfolk Naval base tomorrow to shoot more content for the training videos.
We recently landed a contract for another naval contractor as well. (This one isn't going to grow beyond the first video until next year though. These bigger companies are pretty much pausing new business at this point until the beginning of 2019).

Top Shotta, None Hotta!
Frequency Separation helps a ton and you did a great job on all the shots.I been working on my frequency separation. Trying to get that good skin texture.
thanks. I'm trying to get to where skin has that smooth textured look. Where it's not plastic looking. It's definitely one of those "feel" techniques.

I was flying from LAX and had to put all my camera gear in one bin and my laptop in another bin. They didn't hassle me ..
Suggestions for a good, proper starter camera for casual shoots? Something a step up from an iPhone but not quite full on pro camera etc.
What's your budget?
Canon SL2 would be a great starter camera that can be found for around $600.
My first camera was an SL1 and I got a lot of experience with it and eventually outgrew it. You might be able to find the SL1 on ebay for $300 ish w/ the kit lens.
I’m looking for something around $300-350. Willing to go as high as $400. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll look around.
