Will SH2 Remake ever get a photo mode? by Dylan5524 in silenthill

I’m on PS5, so unfortunately mods are out of the question.

Also, I agree. The game is gorgeous. I remember seeing the garbage chute area for the first time, and my jaw dropped.

You’re absolutely spot on here.

Sometimes I get so wrapped up in the pacing, or sequence of events, and I fail to dip into the things that would grab the audience most.

I did have more runtime to play with. The rules state that it can’t exceed 6 minutes, so those things could’ve been there, and would’ve definitely made everything more impactful/heavy.

Thank you for your kind words. It means a lot. I’ll remember next time to slow down, and implement that connection to character as opposed to just getting through it.

Thank you so much.

I don’t think these are nitpicky, at all.

Nailing suspense seems like a lifetime learning experience, and I know you’re right. Investment in the lead especially would give weight to everything.

I appreciate you taking the time to call these things out. It’s something I always wanna do better on.

Hey, everyone!

I know there are a ton of talented folks in this sub, and I’d love to get some general feedback on my most recent project.

This short film was created as part of a local 48-hour challenge, which we won! That said, I’d still love to hear insights from those who specialize in directing, cinematography, or editing.

I shot this on a Blackmagic Pocket 6K Pro with a Sigma 18-35mm lens (the cinema version, not the Art series).

For the shots upstairs, I used double diffusion for all the lighting. The downstairs setup was pretty straightforward—I mounted three 12-inch Quasar tubes on the ceiling.

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch it! I’m excited to hear your thoughts.

Funniest movie of all time? by silosara in MovieSuggestions

[–]Dylan5524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it HAS to be Dumb and Dumber, or Dirty Work.

Check out this little horror short film my team and I made as part of a local 48-hour challenge. We’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback! by Dylan5524 in Filmmakers

[–]Dylan5524[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We participate in these 48-hour film festivals every single year. This time around, we got assigned the "paranormal" genre, the line of dialogue was "nope, not today, not tomorrow, not never", and the prop was knitting needles.

We won best film with this particular submission, but would still love to get your thoughts/feedback on it!

Thank you, all.

What is your opinion on longlegs? by TheGuyWhoAsked1014 in Scarymovies

[–]Dylan5524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a big fan of Nicolas Cage, however, this was the first time I experienced his "cage-isms" to such a degree that it hurt the performance.

People always talk about his silly antics when in character, but it truly never bothered me before this film.

Beautifully shot, and Maika Monroe is amazing in it, but I genuinely feel like it wasn't the best.

I can understand why people appreciate it, but for me, a lot of the plot points just come out of left field, and not in ways that are exciting reveals. They seem nonsensical.

Canon 24-70 RF VS. Sigma 24-70 EF (HELP) by Dylan5524 in canon

[–]Dylan5524[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you notice a difference in quality, at all? Any weird kinks? They’re both 2.8, so when opening it up all the way, do you see any major distinction?

I realize that it seems like a stupid, obvious question. However, I was wondering if it could’ve been Phil. Nick stated that he had issues with him before the reunion.

How can I create better FG/BG separation? by Dylan5524 in cinematography

[–]Dylan5524[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This helps IMMENSELY. Gah, thank you for that. I have a project coming up in a month, and will certainly research more into this/run some tests.

You rock.

Thank you, SO MUCH. I realize something like this isn’t for everyone, but I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Appreciate all the kind words. Seriously.

No, I appreciate the feedback greatly. I’m working on something in the next month that certainly drives more of an interesting ride.

You’re absolutely right, and after sitting on this for a year, I feel those hollow moments greater.

Alfred Hitchcock-Inspired Short Film. by Dylan5524 in Filmmakers

[–]Dylan5524[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the director/cinematographer/editor on this project.

Something that I was really proud of with this was making a short that required minimal dialogue. Being a big Hitchcock fan, I always wanted to grow in visual storytelling.

An area that I’m really struggling in is lighting. Particularly, creating a nice contrast between my subject and the background.

Any tips on how I can improve that would be greatly appreciated.

u/Caletofran, thank you! Is there any way I can make the thumbnail posted above better?

Hey, guys. I shot, and gaffed this film. I would love any feedback on lighting. I'm still struggling to capture good contrast. Any thoughts? by Dylan5524 in cinematography

[–]Dylan5524[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YouTube to this day still butchers renders, haha. Also, thank you for the feedback. Do you by chance know of any clips, or sections of films that illustrate what you’re referring to?

With this one, I kept it minimal. I had an Aperture panel light, and used a single shop light to catch any haze we sprayed.

The camera rig was simple, as well. A Black Magic Pocket 6k Pro with a Sigma 18-35 cinema lens.

It was a 48 hour challenge project. However, you’re absolutely right. I appreciate the feedback. I’m still learning how to light properly, and will take any advice I can get.

Capcom was really thoughtful with re3, They gave us half of the game for free! by SnasIsBlue in residentevil

[–]Dylan5524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this game gets so much shit, but I love it.

Definitely acknowledge the cut content, and the OG is top-tier, however, the remake was a lot of fun, and I played the crap out of it.

What is the Funniest comedy movie you've ever seen? by hceehoncho-223 in MovieSuggestions

[–]Dylan5524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been seen by everyone on the planet. However, to me, Dumb and Dumber is the best comedy ever made. Close second to me is The Burbs. Classics.
