Bizarre post but do any filmmakers in LA want a prop RPG-7 rocket launcher? This is an Airsoft launcher we got from Evike for a project we did last year. We're about to move and getting rid of some things. Feels like a suuuuper weird thing to list on craigslist but thought someone here might enjoy.

Look I know the Mods are 1950's biker kids but I simply can not get over the laziness of the costume designers to take a regular biker vest, spray paint it and add some flair.

What is it about Hoyt's use of IMAX that just feels so different than a Super 35 sensor? Is it just the sensor size giving us that unique depth of field? Is it the super wide FOV? I know people on this sub hate these type of questions but I'm genuinely curious and would love insight

I'm looking to build some practicals for our production like these orange/heat lamp lights. Any ideas on how to achieve this with something cheaper/brighter than Asteras or Nanlights but doesn't create shutter lines?

Do youl see REDs on feature films all that often? I really don't like them as a company but we're working on a project where we can't afford an Arri package and it's looking like RED is our best choice.

It's impossible to find a Sony FX6, am I missing something here or is it just truly *that* backordered that you can't even purchase one after two years?

Why doesn't the Sony FX3, the newest Netflix Approved camera, not have a shutter angle option? You can't even shoot at 1/48, you can only shoot at 1/50 at 23.98p. Does anyone know why Sony won't allow users to shoot in true 24p?

How can you make your place smell clean and nice? I just got my first apartment and it just doesn't smell like anything, yet when I go over to proper grown up houses, they always smell so great. Is it just like... candles and cleaning products? What's the secret?

I'm shooting a run-n-gun feature film. It'll be fully handheld. My director would prefer to use a full frame camera for the shoot but I'm having a difficult time finding something that's both inconspicuous, low rolling shutter and can still produce an image that doesn't scream DSLR. Any suggestions?

What is a good price for stippling/undercuts/etc? Most of the quotes I’ve getting are $400-500 and that seems super high.

This might be a stupid question but why does the footage that comes out of the Blackmagic 6K look better than the footage shot on the RED Komodo? I've been browsing short films on YouTube comparing the footage and really can't find a lot of examples of the RED looking great. Is it just user error?

Trying to educate myself on pixel pitch in cameras. What's considered better, bigger or smaller? I've read it affects the depth in a frame but I don't know if that's a real thing.

What produces a better image for the price, the RED Komodo or Blackmagic 6K Pro? Now that they've both been out for a while and I feel like most of us have had the opportunity to work with these cameras it'd be great to have a thread of thoughts to point to for people who ask this in the future.

It would be amazing to get opinions on the FX6 as a tool for narrative work. Looking at CineD the Dynamic Range is so much worse than other similarly priced cameras but I need some thing for a run-n-gun project.

Why do Nolan's IMAX shots just *feel* so different? I know people will clown on me for asking but is it impossible for a low budget filmmaker create a similar look with a full-frame or S35 camera?

Change my mind: RED cameras look genuinely terrible. The motion is weird, the image is too crisp and looks like iPhone footage. Very few movies actually look good shot on these cameras. Why do so many productions use RED?
