I’m having a clear out of my lesser used equipment to make some space and maybe even free up some funds in the process. One thing I’m stuck on is the BFP. It was purchased for a specific job (a small slit gobo was used to show teasers of an upcoming product anddd then it was never used again). It’s one of the tools I always think about using but I’m not really sure how I can implement it in a way that isn’t a gimmick or can’t be achieved in post with more flexibility. I think my first problem is the 85mm lens might be a bit too long for my needs but I don’t want to invest in another lens without being confident I’d use it more often. Anyone here use one and find a regular use for it? Or is it destined for resale

I know historically messing with a file name was a recipe for a corrupted disaster but it’s 2026 and times have surely changed?!

If I share a live session with the client they can Flag, Rate & Comment on an image but they can’t name the file and I have one client is adamant on this workflow. Currently they’re slowing down the entire studio by taking control of the tethered machine to rename as we go. It’s their shoot and their time but it’s causing unnecessary friction so I’d like to come up with a better solution. Any ideas?
