Why I decided to make a shark film? It started with the location. I have a house on the coast of Ecuador where I visit every year. It’s in a small fishing village of Playas. So it’s not your typical beach town. I always liked the way the town felt. It’s not really touristy. There’s people visiting from other parts of Ecuador but there aren’t many international tourists. So the idea for this film started because I wanted to film something in our little town of Playas. Over the years I did various small camera tests there but never a full story. So I started writing a script about a couple that goes on vacation to Playas but they are bored, not really sure what to do. Of course then I needed something to go wrong. If nothing goes wrong then there is no story. If you think about it every film or book or any other type of story essentially has the same basic element. Something goes wrong. That’s what makes your characters go on a journey trying to overcome or fix whatever went wrong.
So while walking around Playas, I always noticed the fishing boats and the fisherman that go out daily for their catch. So naturally I thought, what if my characters go out on a boat and get stuck there. They need a rescue. Then I thought of several reasons why that is and in the end I decided to add a shark to make the film more suspenseful. So in a way you can say my film is about people that get stuck on a boat in the middle of the ocean and there happens to be a shark around. The shark is not the main reason behind the story and it’s not the main character.
Personally I’ve swam in many places where there are a lot of sharks and I know they’re not some evil creatures like most shark films make them out to be. They are just animals living by their compulsions. They don’t go around thinking who they can kill today. In fact most shark encounters that people have are friendly. But if you happen to come across a shark that is hungry and you are bleeding or have something shiny on you, especially during dusk or dawn then your chance of getting attacked by a shark increases. That’s because most shark attacks are because they mistake a human being for a fish they would rather eat. Also in most cases after a single bite, sharks leave people alone since apparently we don’t taste good to them. Go figure!
So that’s how I came up with the story for my shark film. The title of my film is “Shark Bait”. Hope you guys want to see the whole film and also how I made it. Filming it was fun, at times hilarious but also scary. Very scary! In my next video about the making of “Shark Bait”, I will share with you guys exactly how I shot this film and how you guys can do something similar even if you got little or no money.

This display comes with a 13.3 inch large screen that has 1920 by 1080p resolution. It is an IPS display that is fully laminated to minimize the parallax. On the left side of the screen you’ll find 8 customizable shortcut buttons plus a power button. On the right side of the screen there are 2 USB Type C ports.
The included pen is battery free and has 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity with 60° of tilt support and two customizable buttons. Included is also a drawing glove and a pen stand that also hold the extra pen nibs.
In short here is what i think of this pen display: Pros: Single cable connection No noticeable parallax Has 8 customizable buttons and a scroll wheel Pen doesn’t need to be charged
Cons: No stand included
Overall this display has decent color and sharpness. The size makes it comfortable to read text or navigate menus. Calibration of the screen was easy but setting up the pen pressure did give me problems. I finally got it working in Photoshop and a few other programs but inside the Huion setup app it still didn’t recognise the pen pressure. Pen is very accurate however and responsive. I wish the stand was included but otherwise it’s a good pen display for both beginners and professionals. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Remember, in filmmaking there's no problems, just a lack of solutions!

Review of the Synco D2Tom Antos2023-08-09 | Synco D2 is the best mic you can get for Indie Films, TV & Documentaries ⬇️More INFO below⬇️
Key Features -For Indie Films, TV & Documentaries -48V Phantom Powered -Hypercardioid Polar Pattern -Built-In Bass Boost -High Resistance to Interference -High Maximum SPL Before Distortion -XLR Output with Gold-Plated Contacts -Windscreen Reduces Wind Noise -Lightweight Brass Housing -Includes Mic Holder and XLR Cable
The Synco Mic-D2 shotgun microphone features a hypercardioid polar pattern to deliver sharpened frontal focus and side rejection compared to supercardioid shotguns, allowing it to capture clear, quality dialogue and sound effects for independent filmmakers, videographers, and broadcasters. The lightweight body is constructed from CNC-machined brass for improved resistance to interference and durability. The black speckle finish reduces reflectivity to ensure visual discretion during video shoots. With strong sensitivity and high maximum SPL handling, the Mic-D2 provides robust distortion-free signal. Its circuit utilizes a built-in bass boost to enhance low-frequency detail. The microphone's XLR output and included XLR cable enable standardized hookup to mic preamps, mixers, and a variety of portable audio recorders. It is operated via 48V phantom power, so no batteries are required. Tight Sound Pickup Whereas traditional shotgun mics use supercardioid polar patterns, the Mic-D2 utilizes a hypercardioid pickup pattern to provide even tighter frontal focus, more attenuation at the sides, and slightly increased rear pickup, making it an ideal choice for recording in indoor or outdoor environments.
The Mic-D2's circuit employs a built-in bass boost to enhance the detail of low-frequency sources, lending its tone to complement sound effects as well as dialogue. 48V Phantom Powered With its balanced 3-pin XLR output and 48V phantom powering, the Mic-D2 can be used with an array of handheld audio recorders, field recorders, and mixer adapters as well as built-in preamps on many camcorders. The XLR connector's gold-plated contacts improve conductivity to maintain the integrity of your signal. Ideal for Boompole Mounting Lightweight and nearly 10" long, the Mic-D2 is well suited for use on a boompole or mic stand. It includes a mic holder with 5/8" and 3/8" options for mounting versatility. Windscreen Minimizes Wind Noise The Mic-D2 includes a foam windscreen to reduce unwanted wind noise from breezes, fans, heaters, and air conditioners.

The Rode Wireless ME is a streamlined and easy-to-use wireless microphone system that lets content creators, vloggers, influencers, and mobile journalists at all experience levels quickly and confidently incorporate hands-free wireless audio into their productions—regardless of whether they're shooting on a camera, tablet, or mobile device. In addition to the clip-on microphone/transmitter, the two-channel receiver also sports a built-in mic, making it possible to record audio from the camera operator—great for interviews and documentaries.
Boasting secure Series IV 2.4 GHz digital transmission at a range of up to 328 feet, the single-channel system is ready upon powering up, with no menus and or finicky dials to worry about—just instant functionality with easy-to-see LEDs that provide critical information at a glance. When you're ready for more, use Rode's companion apps to access a powerful feature set and customize your settings.
Mobile journalists, influencers, and vloggers will appreciate the pocket- and bag-friendly portability. The transmitter and receiver are so tiny and lightweight, the subject and camera operator will forget they're even there.
Courtesy of Rode's optimized transmission algorithm, the Wireless ME empowers you with a line-of-sight range of up to 328 feet and bolsters signal dependability to mitigate drop-outs in crowded short-range environments such as retail stores, malls, office buildings, and hotels. For optimal performance, users are encouraged to maintain as direct a line of sight as possible between the transmitter and receiver.

By self distributing the film, the filmmaker keeps all the profits that would otherwise go to a distribution company. This means the filmmaker can break even faster. This allows tiny budget, indie films to then start making a profit so they can make a living full time producing films and using part of those profits to self finance the next film.

This anamorphic adapter has a back and front thread diameter of 82mm. It works with pretty much any lens and camera combination. Just keep in mind that the wider the taking lens and the bigger the camera sensor the more of a chance that you will start seeing the edges of the adapter. So it definitely will not work with very wide lenses.
These lenses come in native mount for RF, L, E, Z mount camera systems, compatible with such full-frame cameras as Panasonic S1H, S5, RED Komodo, Canon R5, R6, C70, Sony FX3, Nikon Z6, Z7.
As an inexpensive alternative to branded full-frame anamorphic lenses, these lenses will make anamorphic accessible to more people.
A few mainstream mirrorless cameras currently on the market support 6K 3:2 image mode when their sensors are fully utilized. For example, when shooting at 3:2 with Panasonic S1H in 6K at 24 FPS, you’ll get a 6K footage in a 2.4:1 aspect ratio. When these lenses are used with most cameras that shoot in 16:9 aspect ratio the final de-squeezed aspect ratio is 2.8:1

These have an aperture of T2.9 and a 1.6X squeeze aspect ratio ⬇️More INFO below⬇️
These lenses come in native mount for RF, L, E, Z mount camera systems, compatible with such full-frame cameras as Panasonic S1H, S5, RED Komodo, Canon R5, R6, C70, Sony FX3, Nikon Z6, Z7.
As an inexpensive alternative to branded full-frame anamorphic lenses, these lenses will make anamorphic accessible to more people.
A few mainstream mirrorless cameras currently on the market support 6K 3:2 image mode when their sensors are fully utilized. For example, when shooting at 3:2 with Panasonic S1H in 6K at 24 FPS, you’ll get a 6K footage in a 2.4:1 aspect ratio. When these lenses are used with most cameras that shoot in 16:9 aspect ratio the final de-squeezed aspect ratio is 2.8:1

I use a solar generator to power Starlink and my laptop off grid. Here is one that is similar to the model I use: amzn.to/3Tk5IwD
Elon Musk, who is the founder of Starlink plus a few other successful ventures such as Tesla car company and SpaceX, came up with an idea of using thousands of tiny satellites that create a grid like network. His satellites surrounds the whole planet, so they can beam down high speed internet anywhere in the world. I've had a chance to use it over the last 2 months and test it out all over north America. In this video I will share my results and also show you how I set my my Starlink internet.

The CineView SE & HE RX and TX units each have four removable antennas and a range of 1200ft using Accsoon’s unique Dual-Band wireless technology. In my tests I actually got a range of over 2100 feet in open line of sight. This transmits the same image on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies at the same time. The receiver then intelligently identifies interference as it combines the two signals together as needed into a complete single stream. This is inherently more stable than lower performing wireless systems that simply hop between frequencies. The result is super robust, near real time transmission of HD video and audio that can reach the length of a football field and is not plagued with drop-outs and black screens. Screen lag is almost imperceptible with new best-in-class latency at under 50ms.
Like other CineView models, the CineView SE and HE transmitter (TX) can be used with up to four other CineView RX units. It can also transmit to up to four iOS or Android devices running the Accsoon Go app, or any combination of RX units and smart devices totaling four.
The CineView SE has incredibly low power consumption and a single NP-F970 battery can last up to 12 hours. Additionally, it can be powered via the DC input port (7.4V~16.8V) as well as a USB-C power source (5V). The unit can remain powered on while switching between these sources, allowing for continuous operation on long shoots.
Priced at just $649 US and below, the CineView is the ultimate affordably-priced SDI and HDMI wireless on-set and on-location monitoring solution for productions of all sizes.
