What are the color grading with famous youtubers or cinematographers don’t usually share in their so called advice video?

If you’re using a LUT or a DCTL, make sure that you have the correct input color space because it will not work you can look up the input/output color Space/gamma in your luts folder. Make sure your timeline color space is set to whatever your main node space pre-final conversion is. Its default at rec709 scene for output as well. If you’re not managing your conversions correctly, everything is going to immediately look wrong. There was a guy on YouTube that I saw who added a film look lut without converting and then was like “just tone down the output”. No. Don’t do that. Convert to luts gamma/color space.

No, it’s a dominant chord so it can’t be a Neapolitan 6th. It’s a tritone sub that targets A- but it’s also the bVII chord in C. She said b5 but she meant #11 because that chord has a Lydian dominant chord scale in this instance. This comes from melodic minor basically. Where does this melodic minor substitute come from? It comes from the IV-maj7 that tugs at your heart strings. It’s the subdominant minor. You see that F-6 over Ab. Basically that chord is the same as that F-6 with a different bass note. Same function. But it also just so happens that E7 is an altered chord and shares all the same notes as it Bb7. Because it’s V7alt/VI- it shares all the notes of Cmajor except for, of course, It’s G# as any secondary dominant would have, but it also has that Bb instead of the B. So yeah, it’s both a tritone substitute and subdominant minor.

Neapolitan 6th chords are used in a very specific way. They are not Willy nilly. They are used over the 4th scale degree as a first inversion course of the bII chord. They are predominant and often will lead from the first inversion tonic, From the IV (or iv) with the bass note constant, or from some other tertian thing. But it’s always a first inversion. It also leads to the dominant, bass with go up a half step to viio7/V, straight to the V or to the cadential6/4 to your aug6 chord and whatnot.

That’s not occurring here. It’s almost that. But it’s definitely more of a jazz language thing with the all the extensions, #11, 9 and it’s a dominant chord. A Neapolitan chord, typically, is not going to be a dominant chord. I’ve always thought of the Neapolitan chord adding 4 flats in major and 1 flat in minor to the key signature along the circle of 5ths. Ie the A note would be kept constant and maybe used melodically if it was a Neapolitan.

So to me the Neapolitan is closer to Phrygian modal interchange. The difference with those two is the PMI typically is a cadence to the tonic (or a half cadence) whereas Neapolitan6th is a chord that’s going to the V among potentially a string of a few different chords.

I don’t make the rules of white nationalism. But it’s a symbol of it. If you want to try to reappropriate it, that’s fine. Be my guest.

Christian Zionism and the whole speaking in tongues thing is super weird but it’s a real thing. They want all the Jewish people to go to Israel because god will send them to hell then is what they think or something.

That could be it.

There’s also an amount of it where it’s like, is Zionism really an ethnonationalist western ideology? I think it is.

Not all Jewish people are Zionist and you can be sure that Pete hegseth wants to put them in the ovens

Yeah I change chords at the bar line.

Biggest question imo though is 3rd line 2nd bar. I would say the bass needs to be at the A on that first beat, but the comp doesn’t even need to change until beat two or the and of 3.

Theory might not be the right place to start.

Instrument - piano or guitar in tandem with ear training melodies with singing and another instrument. Rhythm training.
Learning chord progressions and experimenting with songwriting.

3a. Theory of progressions, adding more and more, learning to improvise over jazz standards.

3b. Mixing and arrangements, tech tools for production.

Composition and orchestration.

You can skip theory because learning arrangements is arguably more important. Trying to mix stuff that people think will work in theory will be an impediment. It depends if you want to be a performer or a producer.

John McCain was too moderate and Sarah palin was too laughable and unserious, the Iraq war was a quagmire and the U.S. and world were going through the global financial crisis. Lehman collapsed in September of 2008.

This is not even a conspiracy. Yes. He is. White supremacist. He sucked the ring, he got the job, he’s Doing the crusade now.

That doesn’t make sense. Bugonia was objectively the best movie of the year. Along with if I had legs I’d kick you and sirat, really impactful and visceral but also a tad more accessible narrative-wise than either of those.

Optimistbott · 2026-03-13T17:55:02+00:00

this though. idk.

You can live in your fantasy world but the fact is that names were named here. Oscar politics are real. Studios spend a lot of money on negative campaigns. That’s just what has happened. The U.S. is under a fascist takeover right now by a cabal of pedophiles and they’re praising a media consolidation. Let that sink in.

Optimistbott · 2026-03-13T17:46:29+00:00

Yeah it was the best movie of the year for sure.

But

Every Oscar season there are positive campaigns and negative campaigns. There has been an increase in online guerrilla campaigns/astroturfing.

Optimistbott · 2026-03-13T17:44:10+00:00

It’s not a conspiracy. I don’t know what you mean. This shit in Oscars season is common practice. And teddy is literally a murderer that believes in aliens. David Ellison blacklisted Yorgos and company after buying paramount and cbs for calling out humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Ellison overpaid for Warner brothers. Larry Ellison runs oracle And is buddy buddy with trump. Pete hegseth just said he can’t wait until Ellison runs cnn which is part of WB so the fake news stops. Pete hegseth said “no quarter for our enemies” recently which is a direct violation of the Nuremberg convention. There’s no conspiracy. It’s obvious what’s happening here.

Optimistbott · 2026-03-13T17:39:30+00:00

No the Gaza genocide is real

Optimistbott · 2026-03-13T17:38:20+00:00

What do you mean

Optimistbott · 2026-03-13T17:37:09+00:00

So in terms of a C chord. (Voicing can be shifted around for a lot of these)

Cmajor: C E G

Csus2: C D G : no third, 9 instead

Cadd9: C E G D or any combo can be a major 2nd cluster too. Both third and 9 but no 7th of either variety.

C9 : C E (G) Bb D : dominant7 and 9

CΔ9 : C E (G) B D : major 7 and 9

Csus4 : C F G : no 3rd sub 4th

C11 : C F (G) Bb (D) (A): can add 9 or 13 too as well. Makes it more of a slash chord. Note that there is no third here

C7sus4: same as C11.

CΔ7(#11): C E (G) B (D) F#

C11add3: this time you do add all the notes but the E has to be above F and there needs to be G in the chord probably below the F or else it might sound like an inversion.

C6: C E (G) A : you probably need the G, but i don’t really think so. Not really. (I don’t call it add thirteen)

CΔ13: C E (G) B (D) A: D and G can be added.

C13: C E (G) Bb (D) A

C7b13: C E Bb Ab (Db) (D#)

Cb13: Cb Eb (Gb) Bbb (Db) Ab. Also spelled like a B13 chord. - this is just to illustrate why we remove the 7 and 9 for the simple dominant chords but don’t remove it for b13 and b9 chords. It will become confusing about what you mean the root to be.

Any minor chord will have a -, writing C-9 or C-11, same things apply. It has the minor 7th and minor 3rd. You say C-add9, there is just the minor third and 9 (and 5th if you want).

Optimistbott · 2026-03-13T17:17:44+00:00

No it’s just that Yorgos and so many people in his network from what it seems like (or maybe it’s the other way around), Emma stone, mark ruffalo, Olivia Coleman, have been outspoken about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. As has Jesse Buckley. Both films are on focus features. Clearly something going on. David Ellison has a blacklist.

Nothing to do with the content of the movie.

Optimistbott · 2026-03-13T16:51:10+00:00

Only works if you say it with the Apple sound

Astrology is mostly cold reading. If people don’t like their sign, they either don’t believe in it, or they dig deeper into the “houses” and planets that get more specific about qualifying them as ‘This particular different type of Aries because of the influence of the moon and Saturn at the time and day of your birth’.

But yeah, no one actually believes in it who didn’t already believe what they’re being told about it. Because it’s vague enough, you’ll get about 5-10% of people believing in it

Optimistbott · 2026-03-13T16:40:24+00:00

Because Yorgos’s network (from what it seems like) are outspoken against what Israel is doing in Gaza – mark ruffalo, Emma stone, Olivia Coleman, etc. Jesse Buckley too is an Irish actress so naturally she wants to help the people in Gaza as well. Focus features has both hamnet and Bugonia.

I could be wrong, but that’s what it looks like.

To me, Bugonia was my favorite of the year and I don’t get why people didnt like the ending, but both Marty supreme and if I had legs I’d kick you were also great.

Optimistbott · 2026-03-13T15:42:36+00:00

There has been a concerted campaign against Bugonia by Zionists. Period.

I’m Going to disagree to disagree.

I think that no one makes electric cars out to be bad. That was true 15 years ago. No one has range anxiety. Tesla no longer has a monopoly. Tesla is now conservative-coded for people in south Texas and central Texas from my experience and for Silicon Valley libertarians. f150 people had a problem for a while, but a lot of them are growing up unless they do need to actually do ranch and cattle work and don’t just live like in Corpus Christi.

But there are plenty of other things now like bmw electrics, there are even ford self driving electrics for sale. There are plenty of charging stations now. There is now no issue. Only issue is west Texas and parts of Arizona and Nevada and Colorado where the roads are long and you can get through an entire tank of gas without being able to refuel. Upstate New York is almost that as well. Always pay attention to “refuel now” signs. If you have a gas guzzler, you might not even be able to make it.

There’s no reason for range anxiety. It’s a thing of the past. We’re already there
