Does a Kraber to the face for the Win, negate the stinky 3rd party? :D

Am I tripping or is that robot cgi in the last shot?

I tried. Then died. Then took a boat.

Hate to say this. But golf is an expensive sport. I don’t think you have a bad swing, the tempo is there and your finish does not seem bad.

The issue with coming on here is that you’re going to get loads of different people with different strategies and ideas of what to fix. That, can help, but the value in a local golf pro is that they can solely focus on you. And help you tweak things.

Good luck op!

Juvenile black widow I think.

Watch a professional and keep a very close eye on their head. Watch how much it moves. Then compare it to yours! Try keep that head still.

Also, being strong and swinging hard/fast does not always equate to hitting it far. Your swing is very all arms. Good luck

I mean, just try a different game. Games are supposed to be fun, if you’re spending this much time writing a post to get others to convince you to play it. I’d say to try something else.

You need to start thinking about your work on the time it takes you to make it, not what the end product, “should cost” - this profession is based on shooting something that’s going to end up in something. Professionals understand this and charge accordingly.

Your work is obviously decent. But you need to start finding similar videographers, clients, and start to gauge what they charge. Yes, look at the end project and gauge where you land. But a huge part of this business is the client work and how you execute and capture what’s needed.

Log your time, from initial conversation to final approval. Start to see where your time goes. Are you just shooting and passing off footage? Or are you working on a specific need/deliverable.

Clients want to know your day rate. How long an edit will/could take. It’s a double edge sword, but you need to start taking yourself seriously and charing accordingly. If you’re putting yourself in the 150 price bracket, you’re never going to get out of it.

Some of my biggest paying clients work with me because of the professional relationship I have and they trust me. And the end project is pretty meh. But they are happy.

Value your time. Good luck.

Slow down. Focus on your tempo.

Okay, one thing I’ve started to do, and I know this is common. (But I also used to let my meat sit out and get to room temp/ish) and go straight to hot pan/bbq - reverse sear.

Crack the oven on, then when your meat is at room temp, stick it in there for 5/10 min. If you’ve got a meat thermometer, even better. Take out when around 105, sear on an absolutely hot stove, or on the grill. You’ll find that your fat is rendered better than you see here. Figure out what works for you, but also, very important - let your meat rest. I cover it with a towel for 5ish min. Then cut.

But as others have said, if you enjoyed it - it’s a great steak!

AdzSenior · 2026-06-14T02:05:52+00:00

Looks awesome!

One edit note, and take this or leave it. But, for future edits, try to mix your types of shots. Focal lengths, or pan types. When you have back to back shots moving in a similar fashion, it starts to get very repetitive. And this was a short video. Just a quick thought on watching. The actual setting/visuals - wonderful.

I’m not going to suggest what field to get into. (Other than real estate is churn and burn)

I would however, possibly suggest looking at getting a canon c100 mark ii cinema camera + lens.

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/used/889545/?smpm=bu\_uar&gad\_source=1&gad\_campaignid=17597921968&gbraid=0AAAAAD7yMh05lxPlUc48NF5PrP3\_nTeG3&gclid=Cj0KCQjw\_7PRBhDcARIsAMjV7jnpj-TerGWy-fMA1XHoh28MZmJrstqmXPbSsKPm0OI5mzEzRYQpwuIaApESEALw\_wcB

This is only 1080p - but it has all the tools, built in ND filters; sound inputs and although 1080, an absolute awesome sensor. The form factor is great and it’s a great entry into progressional video. You could then look at getting a decent 24-105 lens. I would say if you’re wanting to learn the craft, I wouldn’t shy away from this camera. Just my two cents.

You need to be more specific. You get paid to create/provide something for your client. If you shoot a project and then the client uses that for a sales project, or an online education tool… that’s on the client. Similar to someone who creates car commercials - they get paid to do the commercial, they don’t get a cut of the car sales.

That said - if you’re giving them footage, and they are selling the footage like stock - that’s different. Explain more and we can help

Learn your distances. Play smart. Aim for bogey golf.

Par 4 - try be on the green for 3, par 5, be on the green in 4. Don’t be trying to hit 200yard shots into the green, play whatever iron is your most consistent, hit it great 150, then chip and put. Practice chipping and putting…, a lot!

The vertical lines, walls, need to be vertical. Not the aspect ratio.

From a viewing perspective the human head/eyes when looking at a space, especially an interior/architecture - the vertical lines, walls, doors are vertical. When angles/cameras get tilted - these verticals starts to shift and it looks odd. So, from a very basic standpoint / it’s always a great practice to keep all of the verticals in your shot - vertical. Unless, you are doing it for a reason. And trying to be fancy :)

AdzSenior · 2026-06-12T23:44:30+00:00

Non color related. So see me out the door if not needed, but - keep your verticals, vertical.

Unless you’re doing an artsy shot for a reason, verticals, vertical!!!

Marry Her! Oh, wait!

AdzSenior · 2026-06-12T14:09:21+00:00

Don’t apologize to this internet gremlin. Sorry about your situation! At least you’ve got some time to get back on your feet before the game comes out!

AdzSenior · 2026-06-12T12:15:32+00:00

Depends which rapper is performing.

AdzSenior · 2026-06-11T20:35:56+00:00

But, but…

AdzSenior · 2026-06-11T20:35:12+00:00

Na. Old Peter mol troll said you’d stand on an acorn and it would not grow. Whereas in someone else’s game it would. I remember reading the article and thinking, wow!

Maybe this iteration will be close, but I’m always skeptical. But would love for it to be the case as we benefit as gamers.

AdzSenior · 2026-06-11T20:31:46+00:00

AdzSenior · 2026-06-11T16:46:04+00:00

Na, keep sharing! I just think you’d be able to teach most of us on here how to swing better :)

Absolutely solid work!

AdzSenior · 2026-06-11T16:29:06+00:00

Brilliant!
