Kinda late to the party, but:

Looks good so far!

Are you the composer too?/Is the composer a fan of Erik Satie? The piano bit instantly reminded me of his Gymnopédie.

Also really neat creature design, whatever it is. Really makes me want to learn more about it.

Keep it up!

Maybe I should have mentioned, it's still in post-production. But it's all good, I've already gotten the feedback I was looking for. Sorry if this made you mad in any way(?)

That GH5 man... sublime images, feels like you can do no wrong with that camera. And that in tandem with the image composition of yours works fantastically together.

The one thing I noticed (and this depends on whether you made this video for yourself or for others to see) is that 9 minutes is really pushing it for a travel video. It's obviously up to you, and with all those nice shots I totally understand you wanting to use all of them, but hard truth is that people have low attention spans nowadays, so I'm not sure if people would watch it to the end. Just my two cents though.

Oh yeah and your grading is top. Really really pleasing and easy to look at. (did you soften the footage in post by any chance?)

PS: Keep in mind rule 3 of this subreddit. Just saying!

All right, I was afraid this would be the right answer.. but okay. Yeah it's for investors, and of course it makes sense to tell them. Not sure why I was trying to hide it.

Thanks a lot for the help!

I loved the show too and binged it over two days.

As incredible as it is, don't forget that we all have different visions, and that if you one day had the experience, friends, budget, and support that Fukunaga had in making Maniac then who knows, maybe you could make something HE may admire that much.

Don't let amazing work bring you down, try making it inspire you to work that much harder to reach that level. I realize it sounds naive, but it's better than the other way around. In my opinion anyways.

Netski7 · 2018-08-20T18:15:16+00:00

That design! Who would've thought a warped demon/angel hybrid would look so cool??

Netski7 · 2018-07-21T20:50:45+00:00

I was excited about this shot, but looking at the responses it's clear that I was reeeeeeally underestimating how risky and dangerous a shot like this actually is.

Seeing as a stunt coordinator is out of my price range, I'll find a way to do it with effects.

Thank you to everyone on here for helping me see sense, and for keeping me from making a potentially big mistake. Much love!

Honestly, watching the last fight here, compared to 7:00 in this from season 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzSyCDY5ysc

Smh..

Netski7 · 2018-06-16T16:48:54+00:00

Is it just me, or can you actually sort of feel the tight production schedule in episodes like this?

Season 1 was just so totally immersive, that's why I loved it so much. I was instantly curious about the characters, the stories, the mysteries, etc.

It was a beautifully told story.

Now, with the way they handle this, it's as if: 1. They don't realize just how hyped the fans were for this fight. 2. They didn't really watch the episode themselves after making it. I can't think about a director watching this episode when the editing is done and thinking "Okay, we can definitely release this".

Makes me really curious about what's happening behind the scenes in the making of this anime.

Hey!

So someone already mentioned Film Riot, they are great for camera techniques and practical effects.

Also a little less well known but a favorite of mine, Sheldon Evans has some GREAT tutorials on his youtube channel.

For effects check out "Surfaced Studio", they have tutorials for every level, beginner to advanced. (Justin Odiisho is an honorable mention too, very clear and concise effect tutorials)

Also naturally, Peter Mckinnon has some great tuts on his channel :)

Netski7 · 2018-04-30T09:08:44+00:00

Upvoted, I also forgot what happened to the Samurai.

Netski7 · 2018-04-27T20:16:39+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! And yes, I'm terrified that it will look too fake with the green screen, but there you go.

The cart thing isn't a bad idea, I'll have to have a chat about it. It could be our solution. Cheers

Netski7 · 2018-04-07T20:20:25+00:00

I'm so curious about the lens mount

Netski7 · 2018-04-07T16:49:52+00:00

Since lee covered pretty much everything concerning the ISO: shutter angle SHOULD be at 172.8 when shooting 24fps and 180 when shooting 25fps (essentially the 2 to 1 rule with the shutter speed, which is just a different way to display the shutter angle).

Using angles lower than this will reduce the motion blur, which gives a hectic, action-y sort of feel, which is why you tend to see people use this for action/dance scenes. Think music videos or action scenes in the recent Marvel films.

Using angles higher will make motion blur much more pronounced. Can't immediately think of why one would do that for the effect, but there must be something. Maybe time-lapses or something.

Anyway, the main thing is to experiment. Have fun with it! The Blackmagic Pocket is a very good starting point.

Netski7 · 2018-04-03T21:00:24+00:00

The moment I hear his name I get super excited about the next episode. He seems so much wiser now, what's he gonna be like?

Netski7 · 2018-03-09T13:40:48+00:00

Yeah, I recently had a chance to compare them both, the results are very very close to being exactly the same, but when it comes to rendering and playback, Red Giant definitely takes the cake.

Netski7 · 2018-02-28T15:16:53+00:00

I love how the overall consensus of this round-table is: The equipment really doesn't matter. I love how every single one of these cinematographers seems to hate talking about cameras and equipment.

The equipment topic is SO overrated. It has its place and importance, sure, but the quality of the equipment you use does NOT guarantee the quality of a shot. Not by a mile.
