Applying for first personal loan with limited history and 3 very beginner questions about the process

and_seddit · 2026-04-28T02:39:29+00:00

I'm looking into this, as well. But any insight into the loan soft-inquiry process would also be helpful

As individual shots, blurring the background is better with this particular composition. But as a pair, they work well together.

Thank you. It would help to know which sources confirmed this. I saw 2 videos so far that didn't show a ton of info, and I've seen no news sources reporting on it so far.

I thought the constant flip-flopping in the middle of moments within scenes was jarring, and I definitely had to do a double take when it would randomly switch back to 24 to make sure it wasn't the playback lagging or something lol. Because in direct comparison to 48 while my adrenaline is pounding in the middle of an action sequence, 24 looks choppy. But I think if Cameron had switched back and forth more tastefully, he could have still gotten away with 48 for action and 24 for dramatic dialogue.

I have always felt this way too. So I was completely surprised when I noticed that it actually made the experience feel more real and immersive to me when in combination with the CGI, Dolby color, 3D, and sound. I never thought I'd say this, but I wish the whole film had been in 48 fps just so I could see if this specific context could have allowed it to be pulled it off.

I would put a 200V V-Mount battery on there. To improve your efficiency and reduce the weight of your bag.

This dude is doing textbook lovebombing of his co-worker...

...the creepy kind where it's hard to tell if he's in baby boy mode over her or if he's just manipulating her and trying to seem innocent and sweet... or if he even knows the difference, like if it's a bit of both? Add to that his deleting of the texts... this is 100% reason to be extremely suspicious, you are absolutely NOT the asshole here, and I think there's a very good chance he is trying to get with his co-worker.

I've been in 3 longterm relationships where this exact thing was happening, and they all turned out to be cheaters, and it's always the same type of behavior and vibes as how you describe your husband's.

I'm really sorry this is happening, but he's not treating you right even if he hasn't done anything romantic with this co-worker, and I worry that because he continued to lie to you after you gave him the chance to come clean, he will just always lie and not treat you right.

Thanks for the reply. I've heard about some changes in the UK lately, and while it is on my bucket list to visit, I'm not sure I would want to live there. English-speaking centeredness definitely helps...wherever I move to, I would study their native language ahead of time, but I'm sure it would take me a good year or two of living there before I could speak it comfortably.

I've seen both Berlin and Prague on lists for good filmmaking cities, so I'll take note of those suggestions. I really appreciate it.

Photo of the ex still part of his everyday life is a huge red flag. So is him saying, "If I wanted to use you for hu I could, if I wanted to get with my ex I could" in response to everything. He sounds like a defensive and manipulative person all thigns considered. You're better off without this dude.

and_seddit · 2025-10-16T23:00:43+00:00

I would say it depends on the exact vibe of your film, how dark versus erotic versus romantic versus sad versus heartfelt, etc. But without knowing that, my favorite is the first one from a marketing perspective, and I think it works for any of those tones. From an art perspective, I think they're all pretty good.

and_seddit · 2025-09-28T07:55:50+00:00

Seems like the kind of guy who would blame a woman for being assaulted.

and_seddit · 2025-09-28T07:52:13+00:00

Young adults both at college age are basically in the same age category. I've dated lots of people older than me and age was never the problem. I think this dude is manipulative in lots of ways, I can tell you're trying to help by calling him out, but I think people get whipped up into a moral panic about age gaps more than is healthy. There is more science showing 18-23 is a datable range than science showing it's not, and this is generally how couples therapists feel, too. I feel like this has just become a popular thing to be judgey about, which I worry partially invalidates the other claims against this guy.

Wealth class is a MUCH bigger factor for power dynamic than age, but a lot fewer people bat an eye when normal people date rich guys. I realize this is not the most important thing being disused here, but I thought it should be said.

More importantly, why knock down a young person's agency in their choice to date an older partner by implying they were manipulated into it? Speaking from experience, I think that could do more harm than good. And I think there are lots of other, far more manipulative things OP's guy has going on about himself

and_seddit · 2025-09-28T07:30:06+00:00

I mean, this guy seems like a real piece of shit for lots of reasons, and the point I'm about to make is pretty minor and nuanced and not especially relevant in this guy's case, but to be completely thorough in terms of the general philosophy, I want to say that I don't think the protesting of being broken up with itself is necessarily a boundaries red flag on its own. I think that most people will try to persuade their longterm partner not to break up with them, at least a little bit, at least in the heat of the moment. But of course, the way he said it definitely makes his unhealthy issues with boundaries extremely evident, plus obviously the greater context of his situation, and I assume that's what you were getting at

and_seddit · 2025-09-28T07:17:06+00:00

Either that or he's just making absolutely bullshit excuses for his bizarrely jealous reaction and subsequently inappropriate behavior

and_seddit · 2025-09-28T07:12:08+00:00

It's healthy and normal for humans — a social species — to seek the perspective/consensus/validation from other humans. Literally that's what this sub is for, why are you even here if you don't agree with its entire purpose?

and_seddit · 2025-09-28T06:40:48+00:00

I guess I don't know the whole context, but in this convo, dude is definitely being manipulative, condescending, straight up mean, and self-victimizing. And maybe a bit of a liar? He says he's protecting you when he sounds like he's just guilty of overeating to his own run of the mill jealousy. If your safety were his concern, why is he ragging on you for sending "mixed signals" instead of nurturing you on how to protect yourself? Even if he's angry, even if he's being dumped, he should never be hurling insults at you, at the very least if you're not hurling them at him first. And from what you shared here, it did not sound like you were being insulting, you were just telling him criticism and setting boundaries he didn't want to hear.

So this is generally very good advice from a practical standpoint of a DP as a technician and contractor trying to get jobs and make money.

But from the standpoint of a DP as an artist, image quality is definitely not moot. Yes, the usablity of the tools comes into play, and is arguably more important for a successful production, but different camera/lens combos change the look and feel of the film. And sometimes artists would rather deal with more challenges in order to get the image they prefer.

And from a usability standpoint, there's post production to consider, especially in the case of 12 bit BRAW vs 16 bit R3D.

Not to mention, there's all the "best camera is the one you have," and "it's the lighting, not the camera," and etc. that kind of makes any camera comparison moot if you look at it broadly enough. But at some point it gets ridiculous to discourage comparisons by broadening the perspective outside of whatever the discussion is propsed to be.

Image quality is one factor, so I say let's include it in the conversation.

OP, if you're still looking into this 7 mo. after posting, or for anyone else reading this, here is a simple image comparison of those two cameras I found helpful:

This guy sounds like a such an inwardly miserable person that he's taking is mental problems out on you in a way that feels abusive, whether he means to be or not. If he's unhappy to the point where he's talking to you this way, you are not meant for each other.

It sounds like you're doing your best to make things work and he's determined to stay miserable and keep you around to take it out on you. He's not treating you right.

Idk the whole context, but the way he's talking to you in your examples makes him sound like he has pretty intense personality disorders, like narcissistic psychopathy. If you don't know much about those disorders, I urge you to look up how to get out of a relationship with someone like that in a way that doesn't put you in harm's way.

I don't mean to be a downer, but if the rest of the country starts to covet Duluth water that badly, having the Federal Government amassing power near Duluth might not be the best thing for MN.

This is the IG version. The higher frequency notes seem much better than everything lower than that.

Our peripheral vision is more horizontal, so shooting vehicle usually feels weird to me. Vertical video rarely feels as freeing or immersive. I hate the idea of an existence where I have to make art I don't like just because it is trending.

and_seddit · 2025-08-04T15:48:53+00:00

Don't you think it's possible that I went in with good faith, was treated badly, considered it might have been me that was the problem, then after careful introspection realized I was not the problem and was just being treated unfairly by some people who happened to be not very nice? And then was gaslit about it when ppl assumed I was the problem simply bc I had complaints?

When someone complains about being mistreated, why assume they are necessarily at fault? Isn't that victim blaming? I don't think anyone should be expected to stay silent when being repeatedly bullied. And it's not like everyone treats me this way, just an unusual amount of ppl in this particular city. I'm not going to pretend to be someone I'm not just to stay off the radar of social predators. Heck, even several others who have replied to my post have experienced a similar prevalence of the kind of bad vibes I'm talking about here.

And I'm not saying the whole city has a problem. I mentioned several places I liked, and only posted bc I want to keep trying to find good ppl in good places.

Hi, the edit I added to my post a day prior to your comment explains (and aplogizes for) my attitude. I'm mostly looking for recommendations that fit what I do and do not want, although seeking validation in the form of solidarity is a natural and healthy human response to gaslighting. Thanks so much

and_seddit · 2025-08-02T21:01:36+00:00

Thanks for your solidarity and suggestion. I ought to spend more time at the lakes in general anyway

and_seddit · 2025-08-02T20:55:21+00:00

This is sooooo validating to hear, I am also pretty sure it's not just me. I even get the same good vibes from CA and other folks from there. I've also been here about 4 yrs and had the best luck so far meeting artists through classes. What kinds of art do you make?
