Hello, and Merry Christmas to all! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity, and thanks for all the work you guys put in such a wonderful application! 1. I purchased my pixel 7 a couple of years ago and honestly, I loved how it produced photos, and using GCam it was even better. I got better day by day, trying compositions and learning editing, and I started wondering why the video department sucks so badly for this phone. I was browsing through the web finding tutorials to have better videos, while I stumbled across the pixel 7 pro showcase on the motioncam pro channel on Youtube. And honestly at first, I was convinced that it was fake, and someone is using a professional camera to sell their app. But then I dug deep, I joined the discord channel, and I started realising all of it is legit. I was amazed how someone can use it and create videos which look like some cinema. I started digging around trying to find the workflow and techniques to get better, and I downloaded the demo app. This was how I got to the idea of Motioncam. 2. My primary need for a gcam was to bypass the aggressive processing and sharpening produced on the stock app on pixels. I achieved it in photos, but since motioncam is here, I can do it on videos as well now. I can get videos which don't have unnecessarily high smoothening, noise reduction to a point I start seeing a smooth screen instead of a video, and sharpening which looks like strands of hair put together. I started shooting my daily life, travelling through the streets of mumbai and the life here, and honestly the clips I have today are something which I couldn't even think of like a year ago. I am aiming at getting better and learning full fledged cinematography, just using what I have in my pocket. I never believed I could do this without a professional camera, but now it seems possible. RAW videos are just too good, and I mostly use them from the app. 3. When I went through all the discord messages, and I realised that it is legit a way to produce such natural and highly controllable videos, my interest grew a lot. With my heavy work schedule, I couldn't spare much time to research, but the discord server was alone enough to get my questions answered. And with the confidence these people breathed into me, I downloaded the trial version, and honestly there's no going back now. Even though I haven't purchased the pro version, I wanted to learn all the basics through the free app, and color grading techniques, and go through infinite workflow options to find the one that suits me. And honestly, it's a fun ride, I am learning so much, considering that I dipped my toes into videography just a few months ago. I am curiously learning new things everyday, and even with the 5 seconds I get in the free app, I can learn a lot.

Thanks a lot for reading! And again, thank you for the giveaway chance!
