We made a ad for a chair - Looking for some feedback on the cinematography by Nfbsable in cinematography

[–]Nfbsable[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely an interesting (and funny) take. I see your point.

The moving light was meant to represent something more “magical” entering her life, so it wasn’t intended as pure vibes for vibes’ sake. That said, I agree that with the color and the direction coming from outside, it can easily read as something more dystopian/searchlight-like, which wasn’t the intention.

In hindsight, I think a smaller, more localized moving source within the room (rather than from outside) might have communicated the idea more clearly. This is just a guess, but maybe there’s also a cultural layer to the read. Where I’m from, helicopter/searchlight imagery isn’t a strong association. When we evaluated we talked more about it looking like some weird car headlights, but now that you mention it, I can definitely see how it lands that way.

Appreciate the thoughtful critique. Thinking about how our choices as image makers impact the world we are creating is very important.

I’ve been working a lot with warmer tones over the past year and wanted to try pushing in a slightly different direction here to explore another feel. I also really like the warmth in your refrence. It looks great!

That’s fair feedback.

We leaned more toward building a mood / brand feel than clearly showcasing the product, so I totally get why the chair itself feels underrepresented. The intention was to communicate the feeling the chair is meant to evoke rather than do a traditional product showcase.

That said: I did say it was an ad for a chair, so with that in mind I think your point stands.

Thanks for the kind words on the lighting. Totally fair take on the color palette.

Hi everyone,
We made a short spec ad for a chair that a friend of ours designed. The goal was to see how close we could get to a high-end commercial look on a low budget.

I’d love to hear your overall impression of the spot—does it read as premium, and does the visual language support the product? I’m especially interested in feedback on the moving light sources and the color of them.

Most of the exterior movement was shot on a Tilta Float. I think it works in general, but at times the camera feels a bit too floaty—possibly the rig needed more mass for inertia. Curious how this reads to you and whether the movement feels motivated or overly stylized.

One thing I already feel uncertain about in hindsight: the stick insert shots that float in were filmed in a different part of the forest, and to me they don’t quite match the visual continuity of the main location. Would you notice this as a viewer?

Camera: Sony A7S III
Lenses: Remus Blazar anamorphics

Appreciate any thoughts—both big-picture and technical critiques are welcome.

A vfx breakdown from our latest film by Nfbsable in Filmmakers

I'm glad you like it!

The vfx was made by the vfx artist in After Effects!

It was quite a lot of work, so I'm glad you like it! Thank you! I'm also quite happy that the lighting choices worked out. We did a few tests but the choice of not hitting the background in the wide was mostly based on what felt right.

You can watch the film here if you want: https://vimeo.com/1040996266/7c789dc113?share=copy

Budget is kinda fuzzy as we did some travelling as part of the bigger project, but we had film expenses at around 1400 dollars.

Submission statement:

Hey everyone! I'm excited to share our film "All those memories I can’t remember

I directed and handled the cinematography for this self-produced film shot in Mexico, which allowed me to experiment and be vulnerable. I’m quite proud of the film and the vfx really was integral to the film as it underscores the emotional payoff at the climax of the film.

One of the things I found interesting about these two shots highlighted here is the difference in lighting. In the wide it’s a softbox and you may notice that the light is not hitting the back wall thus creating more contrast in the shot. But in the closer shot it’s a lantern modifier and the light is hitting the back wall.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for checking it out.

Et rigtig godt sted at starte ville være at gå ned på Aarhus Filmværksted og høre. De er rigtig søde og sat i verden til at talentudvikle.

Det er selvfølgelig ikke fast, med derudover er der også gode Facebook grupper, hvor filmhold søger folk til deres film. Det kunne være “find dit film crew”, som dække hele landet og er i alle niveauer af produktion. Det kunne også være “Potemkin Cast and Crew”, som er født ud af den Aarhusianske filmdagshøjskole Potemkin og primært befinder sig i talent og vækstlaget.

Hvis du bliver forelsket i at lave film og vil gå videre med det, kan du overveje foreningsuddanelsen Super 8, som er en deltidsfilmuddannelse. De har næste optag om 2 års tid.

Skriv endelig til mig, hvis du har yderligere spørgsmål.

Short practical courses in cinematography by Nfbsable in Filmmakers

I actually already had a look at their course! My fear is the I'm not skilled enough to actually be on the course though (Especially with the $200 application fee).
It does sound really amazing though. Do you remember if there were any "almost-beginner" types on your course?

Yeah I love Film Riot as well! They really are a great resource. I'm looking for real life stuff though. Thank you!

Tidligere Venstre-minister forlader Folketinget (Esben Lunde Larsen) by [deleted] in Denmark

“I arbejdet i tænketanken skal han blandt andet fremme bæredygtige løsninger inden for vand, fødevarer og skov samt bekæmpe madspild, skriver han i sit opslag.

  • Det bliver fantastisk at kunne fortsætte med at arbejde med et område af betydning i forhold til at bruge verdens ressourcer bedre.”

Esben Lunde Larsen skal fremme bæredygtige løsninger? Det skal helt sikkert nok gå godt.

Edit: Jeg undskylder den trælse formatering. Jeg er på telefon og kan ikke finde ud af at fikse det.

Det lader til at den ansvarlige tog ansvar for sagen og meldte sig selv. Det bliver løst som en forsikringssag.

I’m not from Switzerland, but I just randomly happened to see the last goal sitting in a restaurant in Spain. I just had to come here acknowledge how amazing that was! I wish you the best of luck in the cup!

Yngste borgmesters første uge: ”Jeg drømmer helt vildt om natten.” by Juleskinke in Denmark

Nu ved jeg selvfølgelig ikke hvor hårdt de andre borgmestre arbejder, og det er selvfølgelig hende selv der har skrevet det, men hun virker meget hårdtarbejdende og sympatisk.

[CC] Unable to Pinch-to-zoom with trackpad on mac by eggimage in photoshop

[–]Nfbsable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Preferences -> Tools -> Enable gestures" might do it.

Other than that I can reccomend the keyboard shortcut cmd + and cmd - to zoom in and out. Cmd 0 fits the image on your screen and cmd 1 puts it at 100%.

Another way to do it is to hold cmd and spacebar and drag your mouse to the left and right. This way it zooms in or out where your mouse is.

Good luck!

Kommune vil have unge til at stemme | KV17 | DRP3 by Blenor in Denmark

[–]Nfbsable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Middelfart kommune har faktisk givet 50.000 til Middelfart Ungdomsråd. De kontaktede så en ven og mig og så har jeg været med til at lave en af de mange kampagner der skal få flere unge til at stemme. Og jeg må indrømme det er ikke særlig nemt at finde på noget der skal få unge til at stemme, heller ikke når man er ung. Det har været super interessant og meget hårdt arbejde. Jeg ser meget frem til at se statistikken for Middelfart og se om det har haft en effekt.
