Harry Potter’s scar had to be painted on around 5,800 times during filming (Harry Potter)

That scar had to be reapplied constantly during filming

Different takes, lighting changes, stunt doubles

By the end of the series, they’d painted it thousands of times

It's funny, but when I was a kid, I thought this movie actually existed. I recently watched *Home Alone* again and started wondering what kind of movie it was, only to find out that it doesn't exist.

Hey, I'm an aspiring filmmaker who is seeking a bit of advice when it comes to deciding on a camera to save up for.

So far, the cameras I've been looking at are the Sony FX3 & FX30.

Sony FX3

Specs:

- Full Frame 12MP CMOS Sensor

- 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 Internally

- Frame Rates Up to 4K 120fps (with a 1.1x crop)

- Phase-Detect Autofocus

- In-Body Image Stabilization

- 8.7-8.9ms Rolling Shutter in 4K

- Dual-Base ISOs of 800 and 12,800 in S-Log3

Sony FX30

Specs:

- Super 35 (APS-C) sized 26.1MP CMOS Sensor

- 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 Internally

- Frame Rates Up to 4K 60fps (no crop) & 4K 120fps (with a 1.6x crop)

- Phase-Detect Autofocus

- In-Body Image Stabilization

- 15.9-16ms Rolling Shutter in 4K

- Dual-Base ISOs of 800 and 2500 in S-Log3

Between these options, which camera is best to save up for, along with its respective glass?

I know I would like to have a compact setup that can be adapted to different workflows, like solo filmmaking or collaborative filmmaking. Plus, I would like to save up for a camera that can handle almost any scenario like slow-paced scenes or action scenes (I may be thinking too far ahead).

I'm learning more about cinematography at the moment, and I'm using my Sony a6300 and a kit lens to start with.

Don't ask about what budget I have, I'm just looking to save up. I'm agnostic to sensor sizes as you can create a good image out of both Super 35 and Full Frame.

Alexa mini best recording formats

hey there, currently in film school, shooting some self spec ad studio work with an alexa mini next week, havent been able to find a lot of information on the 4k upscale that the camera can achieve in prores. what is the best resolution and format to shoot in for the camera?, from looking into what i could it seems most productions shoot 3.2k prores 4444 or 442 hq? 4444 is definitely overkill for what im doing but some info on its resolutions and if the 4k upscale is any good would be great

Originally, Marty McFly was played by another actor, Eric Stoltz; they had already filmed most of the movie, but then realized he was making the character too serious, so they reshot almost the entire film with Michael J. Fox.
