    Age of Armour has two cameras that are good for previz. He also has a free download upgrade for that video camera on his webpage. The zip contains a Tripod, Case, Camera Light and a Tapeless, Hard Drive Video Recorder.

    Thanks for mentioning that one. I almost skipped over without looking cosely at it because I thought it was just a home theater.

    Not sure where to post this video. It has to do with previs framing and editing. I guess I will post here to go along with First Bastion's dialog coverage product.

    It is called Joel & Ethan Coen - Shot | Reverse Shot by Every Frame a Painting on YouTube. It is 7' long. EXCELLENT tutorial.

    Unfortunately none of it is rigged, all static props - but if all you need is a representation I guess it will work. 

  • Would anybody know where I could find a tutorial on how I could rig a daz prop?
  • Just seeing this thread.  Forgive me if you've already seen this or it is not relevant, but I picked this up a while back.  Some useful stuff.

     This is a great set of props.  It has five setups. And has individual props as separatye loads - everything from tracks to cranes to wind machines and monitors. The cranes and jib arms on the dollies are not rigged but the configuration of the setup looks accurate for a film and video production.

    From Game Developer Training. I'm diggin' the rigging. Took me a while to wrap my head around greenscreen vfx in After Effects. Now finding tutorials on rigging so no need to let 'lack of' stop us from buying products or downloading free items with potential. In After Effects, I would mask a sliding door. Now in Daz, could animate the door slide (Star Trek style). Fixing things like maybe Dreamlight's fan in that space garage so it could spin. As opposed to making it completely transparent and substituting another fan. Or making a copy of that fan and spinning it as another layer in After Effects. Anyway, so many possibilities to make things work as needed. I really appreciate all the work that went into making these products and assets. The AntFarm's door handle that was turning funny. He even added an extra handle just in case to fix that. Wow, here are a few tutorials on rigging I hope others find as useful as I do. I'll be busy for the next while downloading 14 pages from my Daz Product Library. This one from SickleYield This one from Parmy Baddhan

    I was a union grip on features for a while.  We built a LOT of scaffolding - indoors and outdoors - with platforms.  With 3D content you can build the ridiculous amount of track - like a rollercoaster of track - using some of the railroad products sold here and elsewhere, and scaling it down. There are a couple of products at that other store that look sort of like fall-arrest harnesses. There's some 3D products meant to be used for stage concert lighting, but if you scale it up or down, it can sort of look like movie set structures - also some TV news and talk-show 3D sets already have lights hung near the ceiling.  You need a lot of different types of ladders.  You need gloves and goggles.  The most importing thing a grip needs is the craft services truck.

    The most stupid thing I was ever asked to do on a set was for How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days in a gym scene they asked me to lift, with my arms, lift Kate Hudson up onto a chinning bar, so I did it, then they said she has to be hanging upside down.  I told them I was a grip, not an acrobat, and refused because it was incredibly dangerous and they were crazy and I walked out.  I've never seen the movie so I don't know how they worked it out.

  • @fauvist sounds like they needed a stunt person or coordinator.

    Well, you know the rule, if you think it's dangerous, you can refuse. Lots of insane things happen on movie sets.  There was this Sylvester Stallone movie about race cars or something and we set up the biggest HMI lights I've ever seen to illuminate the front of an apartment building - so Stallone walks out onto the balcony and they turned on massive sprinklers as rain, and all the lamps exploded.
