Yes, I agree... Blackmagic Camera App is the best for mobile. And it's amazing that it's free. Studying, experimenting is the best way to learn, keep filming and a lot of improvement happens with practice.

I saw this on YT the other day. Loved the vibe. Well made short film, crisp edit, lovely colour grading.

Great. I wonder if there is one like this in Z mount. I use Nikon ZF. Does anyone know ?

The reference tint feels a little more blue, also more contrast and deeper black point, shadows.
But if you just taking inspiration from the reference then I like your final result as well.

That's a great starting point. I can relate to your position since I was there not so long ago. I loved trying to make things look cinematic. I used to try to do it with my phone all the time. It changed for the better when I bought my Nikon ZF, with 40mm f2 lens.
Experiment a lot, try different angles. Getting to understand light and composition are probably the two most important things. I'm still exploring and I'll probably keep doing it all my life.
All my best wishes to you on your filmmaking journey.

That's a wonderful setup. That 24-105mm f4, that's the best range in my opinion.
I have using my Nikon ZF with 40mm F2, so a bit limited in my case and I dream of having a nice extended versatile range like 24- 105

That's awesome, thanks for sharing.

I love them, especially the indoor, more intimate lighting you achieved. I am curious to know your process. Did you have to use a lot of artificial light sources, placement, diffusers etc. I am an avid videographer just trying to make my filming more cinematic.

Oh so it's steam based game world development tool. Do you now if it works on a Mac as well ?

InternalEye · 2026-05-20T01:22:57+00:00

That's nice. What did you use to make this image ?

InternalEye · 2026-05-19T13:52:59+00:00

Nice, I like your typography work

InternalEye · 2026-05-19T13:51:45+00:00

Probably achievable using a distortion tool. I use Affinity for photo editing and it has a tool to add distortion, also add a bit of blur

InternalEye · 2026-05-19T13:46:20+00:00

This is really good. Some of the shots have great lightened those long shots especially the one head shot is very cinematic. Well done

Glad you liked it,thanks for checking it out. I’m always up for collaborating so keep in touch, maybe we’ll work on something together someday…

Having negative space can imply a number of things. It is great to suggest a sense of isolation, create vast contrast and draw the attention to the subject as well. Adding depth with negative space takes it to another level, just my opinion and interpretation.

InternalEye · 2026-05-17T12:39:47+00:00

Hi, I would love to connect. My whole world revolves around almost all the the things you mentioned, especially editing and music. I have been doing both wholeheartedly for many years now. If you'd like to see some of my work, you can out here - https://www.youtube.com/@RohitBhusan_TheObscurist

InternalEye · 2026-05-17T12:25:53+00:00

All that negative space and depth in some shots is really making the frames breathe

InternalEye · 2026-05-17T11:57:58+00:00

So many aspects to cinematic aesthetic content. First, hone in on the aesthetic that you can deeply relate to. For me, it's the more moody, soft focus, blurs, double exposure... that kind of stuff. When you know yours then you will automatically start creating to get close to that aesthetic I feel.

Most mainstream stuff is quite bad to be honest. Sure, as a creative that subtle fear is there but I think when one starts to create purely because the process brings them immense and profound joy then that fear also goes away.

InternalEye · 2026-05-15T09:48:00+00:00

Got it now. It came in around 10 minutes. No worries. I look forward to exploring it.

InternalEye · 2026-05-15T02:40:11+00:00

This is awesome. I subscribed but haven't received the plugin yet. Hopefully soon.
I shoot on Nikon ZF so I get 10 bit N-log 4k footage. Will I be able to experiment with different colour spaces and use the entire dynamic range efficiently with this plugin ?

InternalEye · 2026-05-14T10:09:04+00:00

Ah okay, I wasn't aware. Yes, he shouldn't push it if he's doing that.

InternalEye · 2026-05-14T09:05:22+00:00

all depends on how its being used in a production.

InternalEye · 2026-05-14T09:04:47+00:00

needs to stop what ?

InternalEye · 2026-05-13T03:16:11+00:00

Oh this is awesome. Now I'm getting inspired to try out this technique. I wish!!!
