previous wireframe test:
http://www.sugarcoatvfx.com/share/p3d/P3D_export.html


Few things learnt now:


1. Don't use 3DS's collada exporter. Use feeling software 's.


2. Don't press "Ctrl + ENTER" if you encounter some memory leak errors in Flash. Publish it and then check the swf instead.


Happy 2009!!

flickering in D90


Nikon D90 Problem Video waves flackert flickering from Young-Soo Chang on Vimeo.

just go to Nikon showroom today and found this problem for D90 in PAL world.

Solution suggested by el presidente in DVXUser forum:

"There is a workaround for this...you need a manual lens tho and its not perfect...you use exposure lock ...and point camera at a midtone with aperture shut a little..if you hold it on the wall or whatever and move camera around this minutely changes exposure and you will see momentarily the waves disapear..at that point use exposure lock then adjust using f-stop.no more nasty waves.not a perfect solution but it does work."

or use the light with Flicker-Free Ballast.

What is Rolling shutter in video?

I am checking the information for producing movie with DSLR. Although I am not consider to buy one, I will encourage my friends to buy it and lend it to me~!!!! I think it have some value in some kind of shooting situation. Before that, I must do some studying. Pro-videographer often concern the rolling shutter issue in some forum. Barry Green explain it clearly.

Ted Schilowitz - Shooting with the RED ONE Digital Cinema Camera

RED 的 Ted Schilowitz 演示如何取得良好的曝光設置

The golden rule when shooting with RED is don't overexpose. The depth and richness of the image is such that several stops of latitude is available in post. If you overexpose and "blow the image out" then you cannot bring back what is not there. Hold back and one can get perfect exposure which can be adjusted as necessary.

Just know this rig from Stu Maschwitz's ProLost Blog.
5D mark II and D90 are over compressed, lack of professional control. It doesn't matter. It lower the entry barrier of the industry. It force us to go to next level. It provide opportunities for the youths to fight against old rules.
