Hey everyone

I've had a lot of fun on GTA World but I'm really looking for a less serious server. I know there's heaps out there but the problem is they are all voice chat. I'm really looking for something that only uses text chat in game.

Ideally there's an active server population that's sizable :) Please don't use this as a chance to self advertise your server if it doesn't have a decent player count. I don't want to login to see 3 people online.

Thanks!!

Bit of a different question about the right way to think about being a colorist, learning, and doing the work.

From what I gather, being a colorist comes down to knowing a bunch of different and small individual methods to achieve results, and then applying any number of those to do the actual work.

For example, you might learn a specific technique directly from someone else, or spend time messing around with tools and discover something you like. Then when working on a shot or look, you'd apply those small individual tools and tricks to get where you want to go. Kind of like building with lego - each brick is usually an isolated trick or technique. And you build this library of tricks over time and that experience lets you do anything you want in the future.

Of course, there is the objective technical side of color grading, but when it comes to the artistic side of it, I'm learning more and more that there are no real rules and it's the wild west. Do what you want, how you want - the final image is king. If there are 'rules', they tend to be more of a warning, like "don't do this because this unrelated symptom will happen and make your life really hard or break some technical spec rule" (typically in a professional context where one bad move early will make your grade miserable to work with when the client is turning your node tree into spaghetti in real time).

Keen to hear your thoughts - am I right or wrong with this? Is there a better way to think about the work?

Hi everyone! I'm wondering if anyone has a link to a quite technical and competent technical comparison between either of the BMPCC's and the Pxyis 6K. Because of their price and market there is a lot of content out there made by YouTubers and influencers who don't quite have the technical chops to do a deep dive in the depth I'm interested in.

I'm very interested in the specifics of dynamic range, noise profile, color, how they handle highlights/shadows, clipping, and so on, which are topics most videos seem to brush over. I'm less interested in comparisons about physical form factor, and videographer/one-man-band features (like autofocus).

Thank you in advance!!
