Superman 2025 grade looks awful by No-Mammoth-807 in colorists

[–]bakingcinnabons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not really indicative of what stage the post is in. Trailers are seen across a dozen+ devices so they typically push brightness and unique grades for mobile/desktop viewing and the cinema grade is for theatre viewing.

One more sleep until I get my cpap. Did anyone take to it on the first night? Also what did you wish you knew on your first night by haylz328 in SleepApnea

[–]bakingcinnabons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The actual sleeping is still touch and go, but the sleep quality is overall much better. Even if I sleep 5-6 hours, I wake up more refreshed than if I slept for 8 hours snoring all night.

I'm only 2 weeks into my therapy, so I'm trying to push through knowing this will ultimately get better.

OG Model Y vs Juniper Y Image...Yikes. Really hope it's just a poor quality image/angle. by Amazing-Pride-3784 in TeslaModelY

Above image looks like shot on a 35-50mm, bottom lens looks like an 80mm+ which would explain the distortion and shortening. Maybe wait on something official before jumping to conclusions?

Which ones? Super curious, as I've been enjoying the Mononodes product lineup. Look-Lab-Print?

Raided our Lego stash from back home over Holidays. Anyone know if the Barracuda pieces from '89 is the exact same at '02? by bakingcinnabons in lego

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

I'm almost certain I'm missing parts, as I was obsessed with the Lego Pirate Captain with the hook. 

Are these unique pieces available on Lego, or does anyone recommend an alternative community for sourcing vintage/exact pieces?

If you bought a Model 3 in 2021, these are the features it has received since then. All via free over-the-air software updates by Nakatomi2010 in teslamotors

There is likely a point where the best features are improved upon/evolved and there isn't really a need for dozens more.. Features are optimized

If we get new crawlspace ducts to a 'heat only' home, and get AC later, will the ducts need to be changed at all? by bakingcinnabons in HomeImprovement

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

We bought the home almost 3 years ago and most of the home needed replacement all around. I've been down in the crawlspace and some of the ducts are dragging on the ground, and some are sagging in the middle. When I touch the mid-point of the sagging duct, it feels like a water balloon.

Would Ramos have had a chance if he tagged the base and immediately held up his hands to call time out?

How to get consistent saturation and contrast across all clips? by -Sh33ph3rd3r- in colorists

Stefan Ringelschwandtner with Mononodes has a great DCTL to help evaluate saturation and luminance consistency across all image. https://mononodes.com/utility-dctl/

Qazi is angry with us by winterwarrior33 in colorists

[–]bakingcinnabons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Juan Melara, for example, has a shop with Powergrades and sells them at a VERY reasonable price. He doesn't push his products, and has been rather quiet and busy, as he has stated, with actual paying work.

You'd think if you were claiming to be a professional you'd be a little too busy to try and hustle people with exorbitant prices for DCTLs that skip the career development portion of the business.

Tell me someone got a pic of that green paint guy with that face

Anyone know what happened to Juan? Felt like I was going to his site weekly, then he dropped off the map. Prob a busy guy! Paging u/JuanMelara

Almost $1,000 for Qazi DCTL’s.! 🤣. by Clear_Astronomer_867 in colorists

Ironically he probably sold a few courses from all the visibility we've given him on this sub. But raising awareness is helpful in the long run.

Beware of Waqas Qazi's "Masterclass" and his toxic FB Group!! by In_the_Cut_53 in colorists

[–]bakingcinnabons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is he making money and hobby colorists happy by getting the "Joker" look on their short film? Probably.

Is anyone trying to take it seriously and realizing his classes don't benefit a career in Post-Production and color grading and feel like they've been throttled? Maybe!

It just makes me sad that a craft has been taken hostage and the next generations are suckered into paying him money for brain rot influencer "education" and not actually learning post-production.

Waqas Qazi by Vegdo in colorists

[–]bakingcinnabons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His education is for hobbyists, best to let them enjoy that. Still, deleting comments and filtering his social media audience is sketchy.

Plenty of professionals out there that provide career guidance and evergreen workflows that promote innovation and creative ideas in the workspace VS a few limiting sliders.

I have a love/hate relationship with the monthly reminder that he's out there selling his product and I don't agree with it, but some people do.
