The "Fake Filmmaking" Podcast

243 episodes - English - Latest episode: 10 months ago -

Welcome to Fake Filmmaking where we don't believe you need to be rich to create good content...you just need the right SETTINGS. For LIGHTS, I use "T-Lighting" (and my light-specific settings) instead of 3-point lighting, because it's faster and cheaper. For CAMERAS I "Always Shoot With 2 Cameras" (using a "dual camera cage") and use my "3 Simple Shots" to make things a lot easier. I don't shoot "flat" (or in LOG) but instead use custom (lens-sensor specific) camera settings to shoot primarily "SOOC video". Then for AUDIO I only use budget gear (and my "Proximity" system) to choose settings.

Viltrox Speedboosters Killed 2 Cameras (Canon and Nikon Versions)

June 17, 2023 23:39 - 21 minutes - 23.1 MB

I'm now without a camera, except for my Panasonic FZ1000 and my old GH2. Why? Another problem with a speedbooster from Viltrox. You might have heard my story of how my Canon-mount EF-M2ii "killed" my Panasonic GX85 (and so I started recommending the all-manual, Nikon-mount version)...but now this Nikon version has "killed" my Panasonic G85, and I don't know what to do next.

Are Viltrox Speedboosters Any Good? (Dangerous With IBIS)

June 17, 2023 23:39 - 21 minutes - 23.1 MB

A Viltrox Speedbooster killed another one of my cameras (a Panasonic G85). You may have heard of how a different (Canon-mount EF-M2ii) Viltrox Speedbooster "killed" my Panasonic GX85, but now we’re talking about the all-manual, Nikon-mount version. The Nikon version has killed my G85 (scratched the sensor) my last “REAL” working camera. All I have left is a Panasonic FZ1000 bridge camera, and no more money at that.

Are Speed Boosters Good? (Not for IBIS)

June 17, 2023 23:39 - 21 minutes - 23.1 MB

A Viltrox speed booster killed another one of my cameras (my Panasonic G85). I published a YouTube video about how the “Canon-mount” version (the EF-M2ii) killed my Panasonic GX85 and how I switched to using the all-manual, Nikon-mount version (the NF-43x). Bad news is: this “Nikon version” now killed my G85 (scratched the sensor) and it was the last “REAL” working camera I had. (All I have now is a Panasonic FZ1000 bridge camera!)

WHY: My LUTs Don't Do Much (My Last Resort)

June 09, 2023 00:47 - 19 minutes - 20.6 MB

Why would you use my LUTs if they don't do much? Well, the reason is they CAN be important, but now that I’m focused on perfecting my in-camera (SOOC) settings (so you don’t need a LUT) my LUTs are far less important…and have become my “last resort”.

Why LUTs Are My “Last Resort” (and CUSTOM SETTINGS My Focus)

June 09, 2023 00:47 - 19 minutes - 20.6 MB

My CUSTOM SETTINGS are way more important than my LUTs, but would you use my LUTs at all if they aren’t that important? Well, the reason is I’m focused on perfecting my custom, in-camera (SOOC) settings so you don’t need a LUT!

Both Full Frame AND Micro Four Thirds?

June 03, 2023 00:13 - 19 minutes - 14.8 MB

If full frame camera prices come down (to an "affordable" level) you might ask "Do we even NEED Micro Four Thirds any more?" In this episode I'll cover the reasons I think it's good to keep BOTH systems (if you have full frame already, the cost of adding Micro Four Thirds isn't a barrier, and if you have Micro Four Thirds, full frame is getting close!) P.S. I mentioned current pricing of the Sony A7rii, but said A7ii…but I DO NOT RECOMMEND the A7ii for video purposes (but the A7rii might be a...

Why AI Blog Post Creation Is Bad

April 29, 2023 17:44 - 22 minutes - 22.1 MB

The biggest complaint I have about AI-created blogs, is the content wasn't written by people who actually tested the camera gear they're talking about. This may be why those top 10 lists always seem so FAKE, and don't really help you understand why the gear they chose is on the list, and why they seem like they're just saying what everyone else says.

Will Adobe Podcast Kill EQ Forever?

March 13, 2023 15:35 - 29 minutes - 22.3 MB

AI for AUDIO is here, and so far I don't like it. If you've ever taken pictures with a "smart" phone that uses AI to (automatically) processes the image, and you don't have any control over how much SHARPNESS, CONTRAST, COLOR it adds, then you can start to imagine how bad AI for AUDIO can be. SETTINGS: This podcast was recorded using a Rode VideoMicro + Comica Dual Lav going into a Zoom F2-BT, at the "CLOSE" proximity.

Rode VideoMicro & Zoom F2 “CLOSE” (with Comica Dual Lav)

The way I'm using this mic is a bit different than it was designed. I'm plugging it into the Comica CVM-D03 Dual Lavalier booster pack (which was designed to provide plug-in power for 2 Comica lavalier mics) and it actually works to power AND boost the Rode VideoMicro, which improves the audio quality a lot compared to just plugging this mic into the Zoom F2.

It is really interesting how this mic works with the Zoom F2 32-bit float recorder, at this "CLOSE" proximity: It doesn't need much MIC. GAIN (a setting of "1") and what's amazing about this 32-bit float file (from the Zoom F2) is that it actually comes out pretty clean after boosting the level in post-production.

Wow...I'm really learning that you can't pre-judge any microphone-audio recorder combination (similar to how I learned that about lenses and sensors).
