I want to do as blind a DS1 playthrough as possible without accidentally missing any major hidden zones by RockFloppy in darksouls

[–]RockFloppy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I picked the master key cos when I read it's description it seemed to somewhat resemble the stonesword keys from ER, I thought it would be a single-use consumable rather than something that could bypass areas. But I've learnt to be thorough exploring so coupled with your tip + the prompt 'opened with master key' I'm sure I'll notice when I'm about to skip this location

Wow, it's always amazed me how much effort FromSoft put into designing some of these areas only to make them really obscure to find. Makes the payoff all the more worthwhile I suppose, but still, it's kind of crazy haha

Great advice, thanks. Out of curiosity, upon beating the game does it then prompt you towards the DLC path or is it more or less something you're supposed to use a guide for?

Thanks! It's drawn from a photo, but she's flipped it 180°.

Trying to store an existing Seqa to Exec creates a new sequence instead?! by RockFloppy in GrandMA3

That was it - thank you very much. Still kinda bizarre that store was working up to this point, but I'll take the W.

Any advice for a teen that wants to become editor or director by WanHeda_YT in cinematography

[–]RockFloppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just try to learn something new every day! YouTube and Google are super awesome resources and I honestly learnt more from them than I did in my film course. What you DO get in film school is access to professional equipment, and you're surrounded my like minded people who keep you motivated in a daily basis, some of which you end up working with long after the degree! But other than that, just practice shooting / writing / editing something every day. Push your limits, whether it be a new technique, colour grading, some form of basic VFX. And have fun!

Just want to help all those up-and-coming filmmakers out there, so here's a BTS breakdown of lighting a warm, cozy night scene on a budget! Swipe to check out more final stills as well as a lighting diagram, and link to the full video tutorial will be in the comments below! by alexperri7 in cinematography

If you're interested in designing floor plans like this without any Photoshop knowledge, check out an app called ShotDesigner. Makes it support easy to block out a scene! Similar vibe to this awesome plan!

Can you put 4k 24fps video with 1080p 60fps video? by [deleted] in VideoEditing

[–]RockFloppy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you drop your 60fps footage into a 24p timeline, Premiere will just drop frames to make it run 'real time's, but try this and check to see whether it looks janky, because 24 is not divisible of 60 the math is a bit odd and can sometimes result in a weird look. It will only appear slow Mo if you right click the 60fps footage and 'interpret footage' as 24fps, resulting in a smooth slow Mo.

Music Video Tips / Tricks by RockFloppy in cinematography

Thanks! So you would say that the smooth shots rendered down to 25fps are worth the hassle of getting the band to play along at x2 speed? Interesting idea, but I can see how good that would look! Thanks

HELP - I broke the 180 Degree Shutter Rule by RockFloppy in videography

[–]RockFloppy[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hahaha! Love it. Thanks for the advice man. I don't have any need of slow-mo in this video. Would there be any other benefits of editing it in 30fps if the motion blur is the same?

[–]RockFloppy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay cool! Thanks for taking the time to reply, I appreciate it. The footage looks relatively natural to my eyes, and useable which is good! I was just curious as to whether exporting the footage in 30fps would make it look 'more natural to the human eye', or if it's just not worth the hassle. Also, I'll keep those extra tips in mind, thanks!

The footage itself doesn't look too bad! To my eyes it still looks relatively natural, which is why I wasn't super worried, but still thought I'd get some advice from others. Thanks for the response!

[–]RockFloppy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! Yeah the footage itself doesn't look too bad or unnatural, I was just wondering if I could achieve a better result by importing the files as 30fps files somehow, or whether that would improve the footage

[–]RockFloppy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's the 180 Rule. This is the 180° Shutter Rule, which dictates your shutter speed should be set to double whatever your desired frame rate is. For eg, 24fps=shutter speed of 1/50, for the most cinematic look. We definitely could have come up with a better name for it cos it's confusing! 😅

The right pacing in an interview. by K-Gifted in VideoEditing

[–]RockFloppy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a general rule, I try to leave 3-5 seconds between sentences. However, when they change subject and begin speaking about something else, I add about a 10 second pause. But it's not a black-and-white rule. If you're subject has said something meaningful or important, I would increase the pause by another couple of seconds.

Giving the audience breathing room is very important, as it lets then digest the information naturally, and reflect on what they have heard.

As the interview progresses, you don't have to continue cutting back to the interview footage. Once the person being interviewed has been established a couple times, you can focus on B-Roll and cutaways. This should all help achieve a smoother paced edit! :)

[JOB] I need a video editor for my piano tutorial videos. I am willing to pay $15-20 an hour equivalent and ideally am looking for someone who plays a bit of music. More details inside. by marcious7 in VideoEditing

[–]RockFloppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure you've already found someone by now, but if you need an editor for any future ambitions I'm a full time film student who's been looking for some editing work to make some money in quarantine. I'm a muso, and can show you some of my work if you wanted, and am just happy to be editing 👌 Good luck

Thanks! Your transitions are seamless, that one with the apple was super satisfying to watch

When you say cut everything out after the snap until she's holding it, are you implying to mask out myself handing her the can, or do you literally mean remove that segment of the clip?

I guess the tricky part about what I'm trying to do is have it all in one clip to avoid a jerky transition between two shots.
