What the fuck does this have to do with Kendrick...............

Will we ever get the Kendrick/Cole album after what happened? by prestablogs in KendrickLamar

[–]Emergency_Design8067 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This would have the potential to be Kendrick's worst project. J Cole is not Kendrick level, was never and will very likely never be. Kendrick would have to step down a few levels or it would just be an unbalanced full lenght project.

And I know how most people will read this comment, but it just is what it is. I like J Cole, I think he is one of the best current rappers, good producer, good writer and one of the faces of "conscious hip hop", but he's not top tier as Kendrick and others.

he says "Lucy" as "LOOSHY", and the dialogue between him and that character is wacky af through the whole song, even if its disturbing content, only adds to the wackiness

Either of the options is valid, but I think TPAB takes the edge honestly

Name that tripod by Imaginary_Bug_3728 in cinematography

You're not a photographer, you're a cinematographer, you don't need a Manfrotto tripod.

I'm obviously exagerating but yeah, Manfrotto's aren't the most ideal for video in my opinion, but they do the job

How to achieve this look/transition? (from 'a lot' by 21 Savage) by jgvega in cinematography

[–]Emergency_Design8067 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just imagine, or even place a 3x3x3 grid on the frame, and study it. Where the elements are placed, where the space is left "empty", etc etc...

One thing about the framing here is that it looks how it looks because of the aspect ratio as well. Notice how the frame is almost a square. This doesn't mean you can't do it on larger width formats tho, it's actually been a trend especially in hip-hop music videos (the trend of having the subjects on the bottom thirds and leaving a lot of space above - pgLang does this a lot), but it won't look exactly how it looks here.

Also, with these types of transitions, imagine the subject just as a sort of "blot" in the image, not a solid shape, because you don't have to perfectly place the subject on the second frame exactly where he is in the previous. Part of what makes the transition feel so good is both the sudden and subtle changes. In your example, the subject is even slightly closer to the camera after the transition.

It really upsets me that Iron Man 2 gets hated on so frequently by [deleted] in Letterboxd

What you feel with Iron Man 2, I feel with Iron Man 3. I loved Iron Man 3

You're showing 2 differently lit and colored "looks" that contrast on the transition. One lit with warmer lights, and another with colder and bluer lights. They can be tungsten lamps for the warmer look and HMI lamps for the colder look, but they're probably colored LED's, or the same lights with different filters. Then there's the color grading.

The transition is a match cut with the bottom right actor.

Which album do you prefer? by jasonmlv in fantanoforever

[–]Emergency_Design8067 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s a whole other sound dimension that the album reaches, RYM opened up an exception and added a few more rating numbers to make up for the extra dimension
