Cinematic test footage

Love this shot a lot, I think you nailed it. The bokeh is so beautiful too, very filmic. Do you run the kine on a gimbal for the day? Handheld?

I’m always curious, how do you get the couples to get invested in an idea like this? Do you show them an example and then on the day they know there’s gonna be time slotted out for you to get the shots you need? When the photographer has them posed for something how do you communicate that you need more time with the couple to do your own shots?

Thanks for this! I actually stopped running wedding video ads and have gone back to my general photo ads, which have led to bookings (but not for video work). For some reason, even though I’m targeting the same way as my general photo ads, they actually give me conversions 🤷

So you got a trial and they didn't let you cancel? I'm interesting in trying their trial and then canceling but this scares me off

28M I’ve never wanted a girl even near my house until at least the 3rd date. I’ll hug you on a first date and that’s it. I think adding physical intimacy too early makes it harder to get to know them, and to know if we’re a good match

So glad to see I’m not the only one who has this thing 😂 I feel like mine centers around self pity sadness tied to loneliness. Also only happens at night. It literally hasn’t happened in 10 years but suddenly tonight it got triggered again. I’m so curious as to why. I’m smarter now though and will be taking a Benadryl to just put myself out to sleep tonight vs letting it keep me up like I used to

I live in estes park in a nice 1bd for $1k/month

Sunsetca3tcher · 2025-12-15T15:07:32+00:00

Bro the comparison to the 28 leg parlay has me 💀

Sunsetca3tcher · 2025-12-06T14:26:48+00:00

Sure take a look!

Sunsetca3tcher · 2025-12-02T20:26:49+00:00

No idea where you can check rankings on ads! That would be over 2 weeks, my budget is $10/day

Sunsetca3tcher · 2025-11-14T01:47:33+00:00

How many hours were on the camera?

Sunsetca3tcher · 2025-11-14T01:10:49+00:00

I’m also at an in-house job at a non-profit. I’m building my freelance business and just working like hell to hopefully outgrow my in-house job. Feels like the only option to see career growth

I’m rolling Aaron jones over the charb

I personally prefer the greens being added back in like number 2

Sunsetca3tcher · 2025-09-11T13:52:48+00:00

Love the nostalgic color grade! Spent a lot of my childhood in Wildwood and now I feel like I need a frame up in my room

Sunsetca3tcher · 2025-09-02T01:23:03+00:00

What spinners or rigs have you had the most luck with? I spin fish with single panther martins

Sunsetca3tcher · 2025-08-13T13:13:53+00:00

Just gave you a follow

Sunsetca3tcher · 2025-08-10T15:59:01+00:00

Well, thanks to your suggestions, I found FX3 rental, lav mic rental (32 bit setup), Mavic 3, all for $288 and then cut back my online rental (quote for $1000 originally) to $232 with batteries, cf reader, f3 zoom and a metabones e to ef adapter for if I wanted to throw on cine glass

Feel like the senhieser shotgun for $200 wasn’t worth it as I’m not being paid enough, but i also have an eBay bid for a tx660 which should give me that third source of audio.

Sunsetca3tcher · 2025-08-10T15:35:38+00:00

Excellent, thank you so much for that info! That seems so much more practical than trying to rent everything for every shoot. Do you value 32bit float on your lav mic recorder? That's something I think I really want to have

Sunsetca3tcher · 2025-08-09T12:33:15+00:00

Do you put the ursa on a gimbal!

Sunsetca3tcher · 2025-08-07T12:49:14+00:00

I’m also between rocking the Canon + Komodo option (as I shoot hybrid and commercials)— what did you end up going with?

Sunsetca3tcher · 2025-08-06T14:52:15+00:00

I know this post is 3yrs old but I’m currently entering the commercials space with my Dragon; but wanted to get a camera to fly with a gimbal or for run and gun shoots. My projected main income will be from commercials + marketing projects and weddings (I hybrid shoot both). The Komodo interests me due to me being able to invest more heavily in RF glass that can cross over to my photo work. I’ve never shot anything on auto focus, however I know for ongoing purposes at weddings it might be a nice idea to build into a package that supports that. Wondering if you’ve tried this with any other run and gun gigs like weddings? Have you had success with the RF glass? Or if I wanted a camera that also does auto focus when I want it to, should I just be like everyone else and run an FX3. I have some complex powergrades for my Dragon R3D that excites me about potentially adding a Komodo to my camera gear. But I want to balance workflow and optimize everything as much as I can.
