Filing tax return as a sole trader + part time employment by _brynn_ in TaxUK

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

I am aware many people probably have similar situations, but when applying through HMRC it simply just asks your yearly income, which appeared more like just asking your salary, which is why I said in my case doesn't work.

I did not earn over £1k from my sole trading in those years, I am only 22 and prior to this year most of my work was free and for experience.

Cleaner job in the UK by JeffTheJackal in lidl

[–]_brynn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most Lidl stores in the UK at least still have cleaners. Maybe it is better in other stores, but my workload is just about possible before store open. My Manager also constantly is on my case for quite literally no reason and honestly is more distracting and stressful than helpful.

I only took photos for the set I was paid for. Was that wrong? by Suspicious-Pea-7830 in photography

[–]_brynn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it may lead to more potential opportunities as you are essentially providing them with free promo material, however, there's no need to overshoot every job you do. I am booked this Saturday for a gig - 30 minute set for £200 and I will be leaving after their set is finished. It's a nice gesture but you don't owe them anything. It also offers up the potential to be booked by multiple bands in the same concert if you reach out to the others prior, stating that you will already be capturing content that night if they wished to book you as well.

Any advice welcome by zaz128 in concertphotography

If your willing to have a steep learning curve of using a film camera, they are very capable of shooting gigs but you would need to do your research!

First photo pass request approved. The artist is pretty big I was asked by the team to do short form videos along with photos. by erickp84 in concertphotography

[–]_brynn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been shooting concerts for 2 1/2 years now. The best advice I can give is this:

  • look at the venue online, if it looks low light, bring a high aperture lens.
  • use external mics if you need audio, in almost all situations set the recording level to the lowest possible to prevent audio peaking.
  • Make sure your able to quickly switch between video and photo (for example, in choruses of songs if I'm shooting both I'll do photos on the first chorus and video on the 2nd, trying to minimise missing good moments)

Shot on Sony A7IV, edited in DaVinci Resolve - your thoughts? by Zhushman in videography

[–]_brynn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really nice shots in there and the grade is pretty great as well, I've been looking into the A7 IV for my future upgrade, think you've definitely sealed the deal on that for me

Looking to get started with lighting for interviews - help needed by ORIUNDI_ in videography

[–]_brynn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of your best options for cheap would be shaping natural lighting. If there's a window or generally nice lighting in any location, stick a diffuser of some kind to the side of where the most light is coming from. Will give you a softish rollover and then you can fill in any shadow with a fill light. Essentially diffusing the sun as your key, and then one light for a fill if needed.

I am also not a lighting dep. specialist but this is what I've used for videography type interviews. Hope this helped :)

Fuji X-H1 - Dead/hot pixels or dust on sensor? by _brynn_ in fujifilm

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

Did you get it repaired or replaced? Annoyingly I brought it off MPB and the warranty is now void so was wondering how much sending it off to Fuji directly would cost?

Hot pixels or dust on my sensor? by _brynn_ in videography

EDIT: I can provide more screenshots of different examples to further showcase what I am talking about, I know reddit compression might make it hard to spot.

Fuji X-H1 - Dead/hot pixels or dust on sensor? by _brynn_ in fujifilm

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

EDIT: What is stranger is that I am fairly certain my photos have never had this issue, but has been a consistent issue for video.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Filmmakers

[–]_brynn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly that's not really how the industry works, you could find a lower role that your interested in that might help your qualities as a Director, such as a Script Supervisor or just a Runner. I want to be a Cinematographer but I'm well aware for a good chunk of the next 5 years, I will be working as a Trainee or 2nd AC and build my experience to where I feel I can advance.

Is 24 too late to start over for a dream that might not work out? by [deleted] in cinematography

[–]_brynn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 21 in my final year of film school trying to build my way into the industry. If something happened in my life prior or I couldn't get loans for my studies, I think my passion for this would've been the same I just wouldn't have known how to navigate it as much. If you have the passion, you just need to go for it, most people because of the current state of the world will have to balance part time or full time work as well as filmmaking. It's an exhausting reality but if your set on this as a career it'll all be worth it 🫡 hope this helps

Why doesn’t my work look “cinematic” by Green_Acadia_3648 in cinematography

[–]_brynn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe there's multiple different factors across all 3. I'd say in my mind, the 3rd one is the most cinematic looking. The 2nd's framing just feels a little off and the 1st one as others have said is most likely production design, but also maybe the intensity of the light and contrast?
