SmooshCHN iSee Brimmie and Khalhokage already answered ur questions


Anyways Brimmie, do u play BF4 multiplayer??

Nope.. Never tried it. What's it like?

SmooshCHN:
Hy Brimmie, i remember your from Art and Graphic section.. So you bought a gaming laptop or a beast i should say and want to eat your cake and have it? you're wicked. Generally they don't last on battery. As for patches i'm on the windows side but the problem here is if i'm spending this on any of these i want to be sure i'll have a big grin knowing it'll be consistent in performance over time (which takes me back to the Macbook) windows tend to slow down over time, or will the SSD drive help stabilize performance drop common in Windows over time. Both of them Will do well in photo editing i'm sure of. Which again takes me back to Gaming which I'm not sure will be good with the Macbook. I don't plan on replacing any one i settle for soon. And one thing with the Acer is that I can change or upgrade Graphic card later. If someone can convince me of the Macbook to handle gaming as good as the Acer, i'll go for it.

As for other brand, the Asus i like though on part with the Acer costs much more (Asus Rog G552), Alienware too expensive and i'm not a hard gamer so something good enough not an overkill.

Lol.. I wish I could still have the cake. The Laptop is sexy tho.

I don't trust any Laptop Screen Colours - most especially when I'm editing Video. I connect to TV via HDMI before doing any Colour Correction.

Well, Asus and Acer products seems to be more durable compared to other brands on Windows. Oh.. MSI??! That's another machine.

Just like you said, if you can get a Mac Gamer to convince you.. Then go for it! But I'm not sure you be able to get 'nuff games that runs on Mac.

EDIT:
Oh! khalhokage said that already.

I don't own a Mac.. Only used it during my Internship. So, don't have any take Gaming on Mac.

I'm into Graphics and love gaming (not a freak). I'm using Lenovo Z510 - 6GB RAM - 2GB Nvidia - 1TB HDD - Core i5 .
I use Lightroom 5, Illustrator CC, Photoshop CC, After Effects CC, PremierePro CC, Audition CC and Adobe Muse.

I play Battlefield 4 34GB and PES 16 (Yeah.. 2016!) Those are the two games I play often.

I installed Mortal Kombat 10 (32GB)
Sniper Elite 3 (14GB)
and Blur (7GB)

These games run smoothly on my Laptop. Even though the Laptop's Battery is a Sucker - it sucks! That's the only down side of it. Though, I never planned to run any of the installed programs on battery.

To avoid Complications - based on my experience on iOS Phones: Go for any Machine that runs on Windows. Most of these games needs patch to work smoothly.. PES 16 for example. You might need to tweak some stuffs. It would be hard to do that on Macintosh.

With those Specs, Pls go for the Acer! GTX 960M!!?? Mine is 740M !

By the way, have you ruled out other Brands? Check some Asus Gaming PCs.

My Governor don dey fat o! See hin Bae sef!

SmooshCHN:
I tried separating the my verdict but I SAS banned again by anti spambot ABC now I can't even remember where I stopped. The focus on the D5300 is good for a Crop Frame DSLR and better in low light than the Canon 70D. As for focus your lens will also be an influencing factor even as its autofocus system is good enough. You can get good focusing manually or use continuous lighting which will help alot. It won't take you much to figure out how easy it is if you get used to it I believe. I hope I don't get banned for this again.

Thanks bro.

Chiscomax:
I must yarn my mind... EBEANO is just JANTAMANTA rip off. When will Kcee ever be creative?

I thought I was the only that noticed. Funny 'nuff, I downloaded the 2 tracks same day.

SmooshCHN:
This useless anti spam bot keeps banning me unnecessarily so I'm shortening my post. Was banned 5days

@bold: Thought as much. Was wondering why you haven't replied.

It depends on what you'll be doing most. For Nikon D5300 Vs Canon EOS 70D, If you'll be doing more photography and stills you should go for the Nikon but if you're interested in doing more videos and really want to get into it for less and do not really care about Pictures and their quality, then Canon.

Well, I 'll be doing the two:
Videography (Documentary/Event): 60%
Photography (Nature/Street): 40%

Canon EOS 70D has weather sealing, a flip out screen which you definitely need for video, a touch screen for sweet focus when taking video.

D5300 has flip-out screen too.

I 'll prolly get a mirror-less Cam for Video after this.. but for now, I want to invest in a Cam that 'ld serve me for the two.

I just don't know how effective D5300 auto-focus is.. most especially in low-light and when shooting moving objects.

Niftyrules:
Well maybe we should start with what you really want, then we channel energy towards those sellers I think will be considerate in their pricing system. What do you think

Rode SVM Stereo Condenser Microphone
Sennheiser MKE 600
Zoom H6 Recorder
Nikon Lens 18 - 35mm 1.8

Niftyrules:
Of course you can get at Lagos Island. Go to a store called Hytech at Obalende. The name of the street is Aroloya. What they sell there is only cameras and camera accessories.

Sorry for bringing this old thread back to life. But pls, do you know Okey Japan? What's their price like compared to Hytech?

Most of the stuffs I bought from Okey Japan are tagged as Rip Off by fellow PhotoGs.

CC: SmooshCHN

I don't want to create a new thread for this.

I notice that Nigerians always place Canon Products ahead of Nikon. And you as a Nikon fan, I saw you recommending Canon for Video some time ago.

But when I compare Nikon and Canon Products in the same category online, most times.. The Nikon Wins. I use snapsort.com.

For example;
Nikon D5300 vs Canon 70D (it's a tie), but an average Nigerian would choose 70D over D5300.

Before I buy D5300 which I 'l be using for Videos and Photography.. I need your advice.

Amazing!!

@OP please amend your misleading headline, it was not an Election it was rather a Selection.

Elections ended with Dr Jonathan's govt.

Shigidi, please get over the Fall of the Drunken Master.

Happy new month.

What do you have in mind for your short? Do you have a theme? A synopsis? Or will anything do?

I don't have a ready written script for a short film at the moment. I have a couple of full length movie scripts though. Let me know what you need and let's see if we can work something out.

I'm glad you replied.

Well, I need something "youthful". It doesn't really matter the genre or theme. Because for now, I 'ld probably be doing it on "Zero Budget". And it's only folks I know that can do that for free.

So I need something youths can relate with..
Romance-comedy (not pure romance)
Crime (like Phone Theft or trendy stuffs like that)
Action-Comedy

chival:
Oh, I can assure you that great scriptwriters abound in Nigeria. At the risk of sounding immodest, I think I am a very good scriptwriter.

Unfortunately, those of us who make a living churning out scripts, are faced with a plethora of issues.

I for one, have been forced over and over to churn out movie scripts of over 100 scenes in a week. Nollywood producers for the most part seem to have their feet solidly planted in the past. I have been repeatedly told to write scripts based on what they feel are trending. One person does a movie about a mystic river, and suddenly all producers want something in that mould.

Another problem is lack of funds. I have had to rewrite scripts to make it cheaper and faster to produce. Of course, that hampers creativity. Some producers have told me my scripts are outlandish, and too difficult/expensive to achieve.

Again, good scriptwriters, a lot of the time are not afforded the opportunity to meet adventurous producers and directors who will do justice to their scripts.

Hi!

Can I have some of the scripts in your "trash can"?

I want to do a short film.. and really need something not so difficult to achieve.

Gbawe:
It is not true. Onyejekwe is not the father of OBJ. I believe the rumour was started by some mischief-making Yoruba leaders who wanted to deny the Igbos the right to agitate for the Presidency by putting out the lie that OBJ was Igbo and had therefore utilised the turn of the Igbos. Ridiculous but that is how desperate some political leaders are.

Thank you sir.

We need Oga "Naptu2" and Elder "Gbawe".

DipoDee:
Just do the opposite of all the stuffs I have asked TheFatOne to do.
Eat junks
Ask a Yoruba women to cook EgusiSoup for you and swim in palm oil
Eat burger, fries and drink Naija coke. Lol

Lol.. Funny you. I hate junks.. I don't eat much actually. But someone told me to be taking Yoghurt and Shawarma.

Coke?? Naah!!

Thanks anyway.

TheFatOne:
I weigh 90kg Normal weight is 6okg

Oops! 30kg is the excess.
Alright.

DipoDee:
This will take dedication and self-discipline. The first part is the DETOX which you will do for 10days and the second part is the SWISH DIET part which you will do for 12days.

Are you ready.? This is intense but the first 10days, you will lose from 6-10kg and the last 12days, you will lose from 10-20kg. Depends on your diligence.
After the detox, you won't crave for food anymore as all the junks in your system will be cleansed and removed and your psyche rewired.

Like I said, you will have to discipline yourself and take a personal vow not to binge or return to your old ways.
If you feel you are ready, I will give you a detailed post and list of things to go buy.

Then I will be your coach, as you will report back here every day to report your progress. It's no joke, and you have to be ready for this.

Before we start, walk around your room and remove every food that looks like Junk.
Clear your room and stop taking interest in the General kitchen, fridge or what have you.
You are going to create your own food-store in your room and on no occasion, would you go back to eating what everyone at home is eating...For 22days.

ARE YOU READY!!

Nice!!

But do you have anything for someone that is underweight and skinny? I'm in my mid-twenties.. My weight fluctuates btw 49k and 54kg.

At 22, how is 30kg overweight ?? Am I missing something?

valchris10:
Congratulations on you first wedding production. I'm sure you've had bouts of sleepless nights with thoughts of Which angle to shoot" to imaginations of where to position your cam for the first kiss.
I have a couple of advice for you as a first time wedding Videographer.

Wow!! Exactly! I've been wondering if it's proper to stand in front of the audience while they're making the vows.

1, I suggest you use a traditional Camcorder like Z5, Z7, Ag HMC 150, Canao Xf 105... for your master cam and use your DSLR for the fancy shots. I'll Explain why. Dslr are not quite suitable for Wedding and Events Videography because i) they Over heat after a few minutes and automatically shots down and may take a few minutes to cool down. (God forbid it happens when the First Kiss is seconds away). Scenes in Weddings and Events Videography happen once, there are no retakes, the couple will not repeat the first kiss.

The problem is that, I've never used a Camcorder before.. and the few ones I've seen, I don't like the quality. I 'ld be using Canon 600D with 55 - 250 mm and 18 - 55mm Lens.. and a Video Light.

2) Weddings and Events are a "run and gun" affair. 90% anticipation, 10% shooting. leave your directing skill-set at home. you will be the recording n monitoring audio, Adjusting focus, aperture, Wb on the go which will be much easier on a shoulder-mounted cam rather than on a DSLR.

With a Camera Rig like the one made by "Neewer", I think it's quite easy to do these things on the go on DSLR. Tho, I don't know how HD Camcorder works.

3) My audio for the wedding comes from either the sound mixer or i use a shotgun on my cam, Groom is miced with a wireless lav for pristine clear sounds of the vows, which takes up one XLR port, i separate and mix the audio in post. ( If your audio is bad your video is ruined. Meaning that those fancy dof shots you got with your 50mm f1/4 prime lens won't matter anymore.)

I'm used to Documentary Videography.. So I use Boom Mic. But for the event, I plan to use a Shotgun. I don't have any other audio recorder that I can attach to either the groom or bride. So, wha' ya say? Your elderly advice plss??

In other words Get a second shooter with a Traditional prosumer or professional camcorder and use you DSLR for the Fancy shots.. also get all you cables, mics for interviews n vows, connectors, extra-charged batterys, blank cards/ tapes, tripods. Have your gear list and your shot list with you.

Happy Shooting!

I'm a JJC in my new location, so I don't know anybody here that is good with Camera. Besides, I have my own style of shooting. I'm thinking of renting an HD Cam, and place it at the back.. So I can use it to get my wide shot.

Thanks very much Boss!!

I'm sure you know Charles!
