The drum of course is based on the drum kit of Ringo Starr of the Beatles. George’s actual drum kit doesn’t really look this.

For a recent wedding shoot I had a freelancer use a Black Magic camera. I have heard very good things about that camera, how the footage looks just like 35mm motion picture film! I was very excited. And I was a bit nervous how that footage would mix in when edited in with footage with my other cameras.

It was so much smaller than I thought it would be.
What I saw in the viewfinder screen concerned me, everything was a dull desaturated greenish grey. The camera operator told me to relax, that all blackmagic footage looks like that until color graded in Davinci Resolve.
Well I don’t have Davinci Resolve. I ran the footage through Adobe After Effects and added an adjustment layer with AUTO COLOR and a lot of vibrancy came back into the image.
Then I added “Brightness and Contrast”. Lowering the Brightness and increasing the Contrast helped even more.
It still didn’t look right.
I added a third adjust layer and used HUE AND SATURATION and increased the saturation of the reds and blues and it started to look like the other cameras.
I set it to render then read THIS article:

It says I should have used Effects>Synthetic Aperture.
Hmm I will have to try that on the next shots. So far I am not that impressed. It seems just like my video footage, not this marvelous film look I was expecting. Then again it is most likely the problem is my limited experience with color grading footage from the BlackMagic, and not the camera itself.

Lyrics and Music Copyright 2018 Audioscar.
Now we can try to burn the war at stake or we could
let this revolution lead us astray
they only advertise what they want us to be subjectively
To kill you originality- utilize the information the gov don’t want us to know
look at the mass media everything it controls.
Let alone die hard trying or go home.
These hidden fallacies got us stuck in a war zone,
but its only
you alone
me alone
Get ready to start this war again
Until our fear comes to an end.
Born to lose, but we will die to win
Get ready to bring this war to end
When we fall we will rise again
Born to lose, but we will die to win
Just a product born into the system
manufactured and ship out from an asylum
to profit our behavior
They wanna give us freedom but they slaves you and me
manipulated by the same man who set you free.
I break false regulations and laws and
break free and cause violation
end a revelation, don’t!
Let the mass media conceal who you are so
Die a legend die a star
be true to who you are cause its only
you alone
me alone
Get ready to start this war again
until our fear comes to an end
Born to lose, but we will die to win
Get ready to bring this war to end
When we fall we will rise again
Born to lose, but we will die to win
Will we die?
or give into the screams of war and terror
I know you’re strong so just hold one
hold on to your will
and let this war rage on!

“There are four drummers on the Beatles records. Ringo’s not one of them.” So says Bernard Purdie
Taken at face value, this is a bold claim, if not a crazy one.
Purdie also stated: “I overdubbed the drumming on twenty-one tracks of the first three Beatle albums.”
Bernard Purdie is one of the must influential and famous drummers in recorded music history. This author details Purdie’s claims, explains why he said what he did, and separate fact from fiction.

A documentary on the amazing John Williams. He scored most of the great movie epics of the last 30 years: Jaws, Close Encounters, Raiders of the Lost Ark and all its sequels, Star Wars and all its sequels!
His music is the best part of anything that he has worked on.
Williams score brought the fear and dread of the impending shark attacks in Jaws. He ( and George Lucas) had the great idea to have the music score for Star Wars contradict the pictures. High Tech futuristic imagery with old style pseudo classical music underneath gave the potentially goofy movie a seriousness and elegance it wouldn’t have had otherwise.
Say what you want about the Phantom Menace…. John Williams music score, especially “Duel of the Fates” is excellent!
At 14:06 you can see the Carbon Freeze scene from The Empire Strikes Back with the original undubbed voices!
