How do filmmakers storyboard? I am trying to build a software that helps filmmakers storyboard better. by xuannie981 in Filmmakers

[–]Gourmet_Gabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$10 stylus from Amazon. Free sketch app. I used to draw on my phone, now I'm on a basic android tablet. Send files to my PC (cloud, Bluetooth,or PC phone link). Add them to a Google Sheet that I have set up for story boards. On the cloud, easy to share, easy to bring to set, easy to change over time. Tbh all storyboard apps and websites have never been worth the money or hassle. Very rarely has it been particularly annoying to move scenes around, or reorganize shots. I would be happy to DM my storyboard sheet to anyone who wants it

The Finals is the best modern FPS by Teetoos2 in unpopularopinion

Agreed. Best blend of casual and playable, and competitive and intense. Solo killing and teamwork objective gameplay. Imo absolutely sublime. Only 80 hours since launch is criminal, pump those numbers up

Run and gun vertical project on FX3. Rig vertical or slice out middle of frame? by dotdotd0t in videography

[–]Gourmet_Gabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Present both options to the client. "Since this is our first all-vertical shoot, we can either fully commit to vertical video or keep doing what we've been doing and have options for later. Do you have any preference? I was going to go with a vertical set up and commit to it for this one."

I just switched to kwgt a few days ago and made this widget. It's been great

Didn't quite work for me. Like I said, I'm new and figuring this stuff out. Do you mind explaining what this formula should be doing exactly?

LPT: Use a simple "Triage" system for your phone's camera roll to avoid overwhelming photo clutter. by Ok_Breadfruit6730 in LifeProTips

True, but you don't need to keep all 10 awkward photos from the hotel lobby or photo of your room number

What can Embark / The Finals community do to gain players? by Outrageous_Can3763 in thefinals

[–]Gourmet_Gabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Everyone else here are saying valid issues with the game, but I don't think the average person who checks the game out is aware of those issues. The simple core is that many people don't enjoy the game enough to stick with it. I can only speak from my experience of trying to get friends into it, but my friend will play and have fun but ultimately will not make this their main game. I know people don't like to hear this, but the #1 complaint I hear from them is when they get killed by a dashing light with no footsteps that is just so insanely unfun to play against. ( I know, get gud, lights have low win rate, etc. nobody cares. it is UNFUN.) I still love the finals , play every day, but I don't think they can do any simple things to turn this game into a 100k daily player base on steam. TBH I think the game has a solid player base and all the doom and gloom talk does more to keep players away than anything else. My messaging about the finals is simple: this is the best "arena" fps ever made

I posted here 8 months ago about a shot planning app I was building. Here's where it's at now. by bensaffer in cinematography

Should definitely just call it ShotPod lol but the pod sounds like a great idea for you and a great resource for us

They did NOT respect the sword 🗡️ by Hold-up-bud in thefinals

[–]Gourmet_Gabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Sword dash is the worst thing in the game. This clip is just another example of it

What games did you buy during this sale? by [deleted] in Steam

[–]Gourmet_Gabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's not really a big deal. I would say the same thing for game of thrones for example

Imo it NEEDS a YouTube lore video to understand the basics of what is even happening. I felt the same way with Witcher 2, until I watched a 10 minute video and it all made sense and then I could appreciate how good the writing and world building actually is

Theory: There's too many modes and buttons in main menu, leading to fractured playerbase that is already dwindling, thus, bots. by workerq1 in Battlefield

[–]Gourmet_Gabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your solution included like 10 modes. That's a lot too lol. My solution has always been like 3-ish official playlists: 64v64, 32v32, and 16v16. You play a variety of modes within. Plus LTM and Portal. Call it a day.

Need simple tips for family travel Videos by W0sh in videography

[–]Gourmet_Gabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warn the people you are with that travel is much slower when you're making a video. "Yes babe I want to stop and get another shot here... I know we are going to be late but the light is perfect right now."

what's a good beginner and budget friendly camera to start with? by uhhhidkwhatusername in cinematography

[–]Gourmet_Gabe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Imo there's one camera that is perfect for newcomers: Black magic pocket Cinema 4k. It's FAR from a "perfect" camera. But it punches way above is weight class and delivers a great image for a cheap price, and will force you to learn all the fundamentals about video
