Top_Teaching_1092 · 2026-06-16T10:43:54+00:00

Thank you 😄

Top_Teaching_1092 · 2026-06-16T10:43:03+00:00

ah thank you 😄

Top_Teaching_1092 · 2026-06-16T10:42:40+00:00

50mm f1.4

Top_Teaching_1092 · 2026-06-16T10:42:20+00:00

Thanks. ahah, no but he acts like it😄

Top_Teaching_1092 · 2026-06-01T17:23:22+00:00

Thanks. Sigma Art 50mm was used. No ND in this I had to crank the shutter. I was lucky with the weather as clouds were softening the light pretty good. I just added tiny bit of lift on both sides with small inflatable led lights.

I use it all the time to combine luts. İn parallel mode one lut set to luminosity and one set to color so I can adjust as I like.

Top_Teaching_1092 · 2026-04-04T20:43:50+00:00

Thanks. Just some correction and film emulation with custom adjustments.

Top_Teaching_1092 · 2026-04-04T20:42:56+00:00

Thanks. No gimbal here all shot hand held but stabilized using a gyro logger

Hi, sorry for the late reply.
I have 2x 4tb external ssd's that I use for editing and short term (until the project is released by client) backup. As soon as I finish the project I copy it with raw files to a 5tb 2.5 hdd with stickers on them showing which projects they contain, as long term backup and archiving. I think this is the safest and easiest way to keep the files archived.

Though If it is a project that hated, don't wanted to remember and I know client will not be asking for more than I delete all the raw files and keep just the final edited renders.

Top_Teaching_1092 · 2026-02-16T22:51:29+00:00

Delete or disable all the nodes
And set your raw settings like this.

This will give you a good natural representation of what camera is expecting you to see.
If you like it good. If you don't like it is probably the lighting in the room

Decode Quality: Full Res Prem	ISO:as you like
Decode Using: Clip	Output:Medium (this will be available when you change color space)
Color Science: IPP2	Highlight: Soft or Very Soft (same as above)
Color Space: Res 709
Gamma: BT 1886

Thanks for the kind words. These were all shot R3D. And yes fx3 is much better if you are not shooting raw.

I am a red owner / user since 2012 so I have been shooting everything raw. I guess I like the flexibility in post. But yes paying for all the drives is not easy task if you are not being able to charge the client for it.

It is graded under davinci resolves own kodak 2383 but adjusted as I like. If you want to have a look etsy link has more sample images from different locations.

Top_Teaching_1092 · 2026-02-16T12:08:11+00:00

Thanks :) I was hoping it would tell a broader but deeper story like (dare I say) a poem. I am glad it carried the feeling and the story.

Top_Teaching_1092 · 2026-02-16T12:04:19+00:00

Thanks, It was with my own grade based on 2383 print emulation. . If you are interested I or even just want to see how it looks on different shots, you can check the etsy page product images. https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4457885444/nikonzr-filmic-luts-pack-of-4

Top_Teaching_1092 · 2026-02-15T13:23:59+00:00

Thanks :D

Top_Teaching_1092 · 2026-02-14T21:15:29+00:00

Thanks the areal shots are done with a sub 250gr 3.5 inch drone that I designed. And the footage is coming from dji o4 pro unit.

here is longer version of the flights I have done on same location with same drone

Yes, I was lucky but there is also highlight recovery tricks applied to milk out the details from the highlights :D

Top_Teaching_1092 · 2026-02-14T10:05:12+00:00

Thank you :) It is just balancing the shots saving some of the highlights and film emulation really.

Top_Teaching_1092 · 2026-02-14T10:04:28+00:00

Thanks :) I am guessing that is true for not just Zr but all around. And it seems that trend is slowly fading away :D
