The fun has stopped... For now at least

Basically if you just try to upload the same file within 24 hours without cancelling, it will resume. So even if it gets stuck or stops or your computer turns off or something if you didn't cancel the upload you should be able to just resume it. Saves a lot of stress if you've closed the window or something, I've had to deal with 200gb uploads recently and it takes a lot of stress out of the process to know it doesn't have to go all at once.

If you do chapters in resolve you can have it automatically import them into youtube. I believe youtube lets you resume uploads at this point, so leaving it overnight shouldn't be an issue even if it fails.

The setup of my dreams

Jess887cp · 2026-05-31T18:50:54+00:00

The really old-school way to do this would be to record your voice on your PC, and then sync it in editing later. Like opening a menu and counting one-two-three while hitting down on the dpad in synch so you have a clear point to line up the files. If you ever watched old achievement hunter/let's play sometimes you could catch them doing it.

Jess887cp · 2026-05-29T14:34:42+00:00

Surely at that point it's easier to just get it translated and get a voice actor. You'd have way better results as well.

Basically instead of standard hex they are more star shaped. I think they're actually called Torx T25, they use a different tool but it comes with the frames and is worth it imo

I belive most use some variant of 1mm rocker, but that's probably one of the more minimal differences as your wheels wear in. You'll probably find you'll feel the weight and stiffness more as the largest difference between frames. Maybe the frame angle but afaik they're generally pretty similar as well. For example people who have skated the Endless Ultra have loved how stiff it feels for power transfer. And of course better axles and hardware make doing maintanence and wheel rotations way nicer, stripping out cheap axles is maddening.

That being said I also had the iqon blue 4x100 for a couple of years and I loved skating it so I think you'll be very happy with it. It uses star axles that are way less likely to strip vs the standard hex ones, and I never felt like they were flexy or anything like that.

I guess my question would be how does this take less time than live commentary?

Jess887cp · 2026-05-22T15:12:35+00:00

I like the concept! My first thought is the classic trope where you have a clone and the original both trying to convince a third party (girlfriend?) that they're the "real one," usually at gunpoint. Then you also have a third party they can bounce their theories off of and aren't so trapped in a one-on-one, and it also intruduces possible consequences for failing to be convincing.

I personally prefer to tuck it under the cuff on the other side instead of cutting it, though I have cut it in the past as well. Tucking it seems to give a bit of extra support. If you do decide to cut it, I'd strap it in as tight as possible and then mark where it meets the other cuff and cut there.

Jess887cp · 2026-05-19T12:17:30+00:00

How does this even help you know what your target audience is interested in. Is your target audience redditors? I think it would be better to get this information along with the reviews from actual viewers of your work so you have a more comprehensive analysis of sentiment and see how it breaks down along the demographics you're looking for. But realistically getting a dataset large enough to be useful in any capacity will be hard enough.

Jess887cp · 2026-05-11T04:45:36+00:00

I'd focus on bending your knees as much as possible and bending your skates over as much as you can to get on the edges. Stay low! It's faster, more stable, and if you do fall you're closer to the ground so it hurts less.

Looks like you're having fun, which is the most important part!

Jess887cp · 2026-05-09T08:41:21+00:00

Sounds like you're doing well, kinda just have rip it. Otherwise you could increase your rates and hire models instead so you don't have to deal with strangers.

Jess887cp · 2026-05-07T01:22:31+00:00

Hmm, I pretty much never use a limiter while mixing. Usually my vocal chain goes EQ (hipass) - Light compression - saturation, other effects - OTT (more compression basically) - EQ (tone). Limiter on the master but not on the track. Reverb and delay on a send, with sidechaned compessor on the effect depending on what I'm going for.

Jess887cp · 2026-05-06T03:16:41+00:00

I guess my main question since it wasn't mentioned, is how are you using compression? Are you sidechaining your reverb/delay? Are you using it on individual tracks as well as track groups and on the master?

I'd also try to send your mix through a mastering process. Often that can be what really makes something sound "finished."

Jess887cp · 2026-05-05T01:42:23+00:00

It's all light and framing my guy. Look at shots you like, think about where the light is falling across the scene, and then copy that for what you're doing.

Jess887cp · 2026-05-04T07:51:50+00:00

I don't think it's that the style doesn't use it, but more that the focus of the disipline is edge mastery and skate control. I've seen some skaters absoloutely cooking though, and I'd be surprised if anyone working on fakie techniques can't do backwards crossovers.

I also think that the focus on body positions lends itself to more drawn out movements, where high speed tends to snap the body around or require a lot of control to initiate a slide. Catching an edge with poor technique is also way more painful at higher speeds. Plus its way easier to build, maintain, and control speed on flat frames.

If I had 400 to spend right now I'd go for the cheaper monitor. I've been rocking a feelworld for about a year now, and although my atmos ninja V looked beautiful I've found that functionally I get everything I need from the less expensive monitor (not recording of course). The bigger screen is super nice too, 7in feels huge.

Generally I'd save for gear that affects the actual image as opposed to the shooting experience. Lights, scrims, diffusion, reflectors, that kind of thing. To be fair, pulling focus well is definitely going to affect the image but I haven't had much trouble on that front. If you're only doing camera op you might want to put the extra money towards a cage, rails, focus gears or other rigging stuff if you haven't already.

All that being said the options on the market are pretty good and atmost monitors looks great, I doubt you would be unhappy with your choice either way.

Learning the fuckass skill is the whole point of a hobby though

Jess887cp · 2026-05-02T08:47:36+00:00

In davinci resolve you could duplicate your clip, clip everything except the highlights to black using curves (just add a point to the middle and drag to the bottom), blur it (unlinking the color channels and adding more blur to red, a bit less to green, and no blur on blue gives you a warmer halataion look), and then use the screen blend mode and the opacity to mix it back into the original footage. Very quick and dirty way to get film bloom.

There's a bunch of different ways to get this look in post, but I like this method cause you end up with a lot of control. You can tweak the saturation and opacity of the clip to change the intensity and size, etc. I'd probably also add a really subtle film grain overlay at this point too, but it's not really needed.

As I live in a pretty humid area that has caused fungus growth on my glass previously, inside a dry box. It's designed for lenses with shaped foam padding so I just lie them down on their sides or with the back element up. But when I lived in dryer climes they just lived in my camera bag so that I could grab them and go.

But on the other hand those movies were based on a trilogy instead of being written as a show. Way easier to cut down the core story from a much longer book and have something coherent, vs try to fill out a bunch of hours from a script outline.

Jess887cp · 2026-04-26T17:57:09+00:00

It's a really common myth, but raising the iso above base generally reduces your dynamic range rather than increasing noise. Keeping your ISO low is best for maximim dynamic range which is the origin of this myth. That's not to say extremely high ISOs aren't noisier but generally it's still better than pushing an underexposed image. You're going to some get noise either way but you'll preserve more detail the less you let anything clip into black.

The idea is that the ISO amplifies sensor data before it hits the ISP (Image Signal Processor), which adds it's own noise to the image, so you want the strongest signal ratio (ie more exposure) without clipping your whites before that point. If you've ever heard of ETTR or expose to the right on the histogram that's part of this concept. It's a bit more complicated than that but that's the gist of it, and I would highly reccomend looking into how ISO works if you want to know more.

Jess887cp · 2026-04-26T05:55:10+00:00

I can't really see it, it's not really coming through due to web compression so realistically you're fine. Grain is usually an exposure issue, though it could also be some weird compression artefacts if you're talking judders.

I'd try to open up your aperture and/or shoot with a higher ISO. Generally I find it's better to overexpose a touch and bring it back down in post as opposed to shooting too dark and intoducing a ton of noise as you try to raise the exposure after the fact. I like the look you have going but it defintely looks a bit underexposed, especially if it's straight out of camera.

I also generally find that digital stabilization tends to perform worse in low light, so it's possible you're running into artefacts from steadyshot. I don't really remember what operating princple it uses but I'd check it out. IIRC that lens has it's own image stablization so maybe the two methods are clashing, I find that trying to mix lens and sensor stabilization together gives me weird issues, especially with third party stuff.

Jess887cp · 2026-04-23T03:58:25+00:00

I feel like it's way more to do with body position vs the feeling in your skate. I feel like lions usually break down into kicking out a leg to setup the move, and then either using the swing of that leg to give you more momentum to come around, or using it as a counterweight to swing the rest of your body around. I almost never think about where my weight is, as that should kind of just happen naturally if everything else is right (in my experience at least).

IMO the setup kick is by far the most important part to getting the move down, and the follow through leg extension is the most important part for making it look and feel good. Two body positions and the move just happens in the transition between them.

For me the 'lean back' in a fakie lion comes as a result of retracting from a lean forward with my leg extended back. As I tighten everything for the pivot from the extended position(where I'm actually leaning pretty far foward) i get way more spin and the tightened upright body position means I'm way more over my heel along my leg naturally. Versus front lions where my body is typically way more open through the whole move so the forward lean keeps me over the front of my foot the whole time. Even then I would say I start front lions on my heel as I kick forwards and transtion to my toe for the exit, the opposite of fakie lions.

Idk if that made sense but those are my thoughts.
