For sure I really like the lights and having the softbox. I also added some 800d rgb panel lights from gvm just for the portability. I’m also looking into some monolights but they’re kinda pricey so I won’t be buying them all at once.
It's crazy how fast technology changes and the one thing I dont like about digital cinematography world is no one truly masters what exists. They never truly learn glass... light and shadow... Everyone has this computer based mindset rather than artistic. I understand this for some things but not for actual cinema. I still make beautiful things with my FS-100... which is funny because thats still the SAME MIC haha. I would assume they would have at least advanced the audio or some more frequency response... but nope. focus is on it being electronics despite the average eye not even knowing. But yeah the program is already now offering an FX6. It's just funny to me... most people don't even realize how stellar that truly is. FX6 is advertised at 15 stops of dynamic range like thats now beyond film. I still wish 3D took off more , im not into having super clarity thats still in 2d. The other thing of it is... because youtube is predominant, they rob half the bitrate... so cameras keep advancing and advancing yet Vimeo 720p still looks better than anything on youtube. I'm a gritty person. I like filters, I like diffusion etc. I love film. TO be able to get to that cheaply with an SD card and investing in optics is amazing. Truly amazing if you can create a beauty without the cost of kodak. But yes I'm considering seeing if I can get my fafsa ( not sure whats up with student loan debt relief or if I could even get aid ) and potentially do the program. I have no job. Im broke. im 36 but I get kind of obsessed with the look. No other way for me to afford the equipment and then I could at least gig as a videographer.. kind of lame they wait so long to send you it. Did you graduate yet? How has it been how was it
@@cowboycartelproductionscow2021 gotcha I’m currently in my 2nd week course I know the admissions aid was telling me will be around 3-4 months to get everything
@@cowboycartelproductionscow2021 How well does the Ipad perform I was kind of hoping to get the Mac book before anything would make things so much easier lol
Yeah it takes some time but it’s worth the wait. They also ease u into all the camera gear over time. All the assignments with the camera are going to require a production Bible to turn in. Camera reports are also super important for the assignments. The camera your going to get is a really good one the fx6, I been after one for months now.
@@cowboycartelproductionscow2021 Sounds good, I am into the paranormal field so I plan on making horror movies and such. I know you just earned yourself another subscriber for sure. You should also do a video review of the software that comes with the Macbook. I am curious to know what those entale as well.
Good video I just completed the Digital Cinematography program this past October. I find it funny they went back to the Westcott lighting kit you are lucky cause you got the new bulbs I had the old school bulbs and they sucked they got very hot and if you didn't let them cool they would break. I would have preferred the Neewer lighting kit as they can use batteries I ended up ordering the bulbs you have now which work amazing. I do recommend ordering a gray card which will help with white balance and creating your presets with "a" and "b". I also recommend getting a boom stand for the shot gun mic as it will help in some of the future classes getting clean audio. I am now currently starting my Masters degree program with Full Sail in New Media Journalism so I will get a new launch box in about three weeks looking forward to new gear. I wish you the best on your journey at Full Sail and hit me up if you have questions I will be happy to help. Again good luck I really enjoy Full Sail great school and you will enjoy it too.
Yeah they had to switch back to the wescott ones because there was a shipping issue with them. The lights were shipping from China causing a lot of people to not receive them on time with everything going going on, so they had to switch to an American company unfortunately. I think the neewer ones would have been awesome also because of the portability. I been looking into the neewer set and a set from gvs I may just mix the two up, one main light from gvs and two neewer ones. I been looking into a gray card to I know they’re all basically the same lol but any recommendations, some may be better quality compared to others Idk. Also what kinda mic boom do recommend, I’ve been looking into one of those also, but I wasn’t sure on that either since I also have a zoom h4n pro and a rode video mic pro. It’s kinda an odd set up with those two so I might have to make one and buy one for the Sony. How are you liking the new media journalism masters program? I been really looking into the masters of of public relations program, I think they have the same exact launch box.
I’m really enjoying it so far. I’m currently in advanced and post story telling. Just stay on track and on top of assignments and you’ll be fine. Classes start off a bit easy but become more demanding as you move forward. Are you in the cinematography program as well? If so you’ll definitely enjoy it.
@@EscapeThe9 Nice man, y’all already gonna be getting the Sony fx6 I been trying to get my hands on one but they’ve been sold out for a long time. You’ll definitely enjoy it as long as you stay on top of your assignments.
I have no clue. I heard that in about 6 months they’re gonna be changing the camera up and that we can trade our fs5 in for super cheap but I’m not too sure what camera it’s gonna be.
@@cowboycartelproductionscow2021 Yes I do have him next I had one I do love it iv use a cinema camera for about six years cant wait to see you in class. I'm going to sub to your channel Kenyatta.
@@canibus329 yeah I’m still rocking the original bmpcc and fly it on a moza aircross, it’s old but still shoots good film. I subscribed to yours as well bro I definitely look forward to seeing you in the next class and other future projects. It’s awesome that we’re all in this together and we can create some cool stuff.
I’m on my 4 month of class (English Com I). When should I or should I say what class should I expect the Launch Box for Digital Cinematography? I already have the iPad. Haven’t received the laptop yet though.
Hi. I'm starting the DCBS program on Aug 2nd. I'm wondering when items int he launchbox are sent to student. Does the iPad and MacBook come before the camera equipment?
Nice you’ll definitely enjoy the program and learn a lot along the way. Yeah the iPad comes in by the second month then the laptop a bit later and the camera gear about a week before you start CVD.
I'm in my 9 months at full sail. I change my program from audio production to digital cinematography. I'm curious to know when I will receive the hardware portion of my launchbox?
Nice you’ll definitely enjoy the DCBS program. You should be receiving the camera package the last week of project portfolio 1, normally on a Thursday.
Yeah it’s the mark 2 but hear they’re gonna change up the camera in about 6 months or something like that but I’m not too sure on what model Maybe a FX3 or maybe something a step up from the FS5II 🤷🏽♀️
@@mill3ronfir3gaming51 i really don’t know, that’s just what one of the instructors said, maybe because u won’t get ur camera till about a week before u start cvd, that’s about 10 months in.
@@mill3ronfir3gaming51 it’ll probably be the fa5ii, if they do change cameras like they say it won’t be till about 6 more months but you never really know it would be cool because I’d like to upgrade mine.
Yeah everything is included with tuition. Most of the teachers work in the film industry and teach, which are also the same people that put the launch box together, so it’s a decent setup to get started.
@@cowboycartelproductionscow2021 That's awesome! I haven't gotten the shipping notification yet but I certainly hope so. I can't wait to get hands-on with it and experimenting with it. It'll be a definite upgrade from what I have now.
@@OutlawPoetReleasing for sure it’s a good upgrade for me. I was and still rocking the original bmpcc, it’s still a good camera just not as many features as this fs5II. I’ll probably be using it as a b camera and for tight spaced shots.
For the DCBD program the first item you receive is the iPad, following is the MacBook Pro and on the 9th month the camera package. I’ve honestly learned a lot over the past 10 months, especially with script writing. I’m really looking forward to composition and visual design, which is where we learn to use the Sony fs5II along with the lights. Are you looking into the film program?
@@cowboycartelproductionscow2021 yea I start in a week...I have music business and criminal justice Already and both I use, so now I’m tapping in to filming which I been dabbling with for some years now
@@BossmanTv103 thats awesome you’ll probably start off in a different month if some of the classes transfer over. I was dabbling with film also for awhile to, with a blackmagic pocket cinema camera and I really wanted to put a short or a independent film together. If there’s one thing I regret in life it would be not jumping into film school sooner.
I’m not too sure maybe, I think so but then again maybe not since on campus students get full access to the studio and crazy cameras that they have on campus.
It’s definitely fun! But it does get a bit challenging after that month, nothing extreme just time consuming, it doesn’t help that I can be a procrastinator haha. My work schedule is just wild because I’m self employed.
@@cowboycartelproductionscow2021 oh lord I'm a procrastinator too🤦🏾♀️. So you need the equipment for Composition and visual design? So far the work isn't too bad. Goes by fast af tho.
@@chocolatecutiie08 yeah you definitely need the equipment for cvd, you can’t take the class without it. I got switched to a different class because I didn’t get my camera launch box on time due to the winter storm that hit Texas.
@@chocolatecutiie08 Nice! you should be getting your launch box the last week of this month then. Make sure and do all the extra credit assignments, you’ll definitely learn more about the camera from them plus it’s easy extra points because you’ll have your camera out anyways ha.
So cool bro! You’ll definitely enjoy the program, I know I am. I’ve also learned a ton compared to what I knew almost a year ago. I’ve always been into to film. I got the original bmpcc years ago with the idea of always making an independent film. I knew I needed to take the step with school if I was going to take a professional path, so now I’m here. I also like the idea of meeting new people in the same program because we’re all in it together and we can create things as a team. With all that being said welcome to full sail bro!
