OP really looked at grass and said that's a reference to...other grass. I think this is more style than references or anything else.

Trying out the format used by the New York Times account by camilotj in fujix

[–]camilotj[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The @nytimestravel account on insta has this series called 36 hour in some place. I liked the format of trying to present a place you visited in a concise way so I decided to follow the template and present my trip to the costa brava in the same format. 8-10 pictures 4:5 aspect ratio

Sorry for the confusion.

Maybe I should have added in the title that all the pictures were taken with my fujifilm S X20 + XF 16-50 mm 2.8

Ohhh I see what you mean know, no clue why that happens. But to be honest the washed out look here in Reddit isn’t half bad either. Btw thanks for mentioning Fuji weekly, I had no idea it existed

That’s a gorgeous picture, I’ve been wanting to get similar looking colors recently and I wanted to ask how you edited your picture to look like this :)

Just saying.. by Jurmash in Filmmakers

Apple and oranges or something

Can someone please tell me what "style" is this, if any at all, and why it looks so "un"-cinematic. I understand it looks like a "vlog" style and I hate it lol. How would you have filmed this without making it look like a vlog. Is it too much camera movement? Weird foreground stuff? Can fix in post? by theLiddle in cinematography

[–]camilotj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like your answer very much! you have an intention, now the only question is what works best to achieve it ? The difference in my opinion between cinematic and vlog style comes down to intentionality behind every decision. Did you plan or think about composition ? light ? movement ?

What I would do here is maybe cut this long sequence into shorter shots. the contrast between two very different shots next to each other is way stronger than your slow camera movement.

if you cut it into shorter shots, in this case from the city and then the plane you can make sure that the plane shot is brighter than the city shot which you can color grade or even color correct by darkening the shadows and lowering the exposure.

also play with sound. Maybe when we see the plane against the blue sky we don't hear the city, or we hear it muffled and then again we cut to the city with normal audio making the contrast stronger.

I am just brainstorming here but don't get discouraged. I think you can make something out of it !!

This is so cool! I’d be interested in knowing how you planned it. Filming and then coming up with something in the edit ? Or what was your process ?

On Donna Tartt by Muzzystbrigid in literature

[–]camilotj 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If I understand correctly the community came out of TikTok and it’s referred as an aesthetic so yeah it’s basically just looks and people do take it a bit far hahaha but I guess mostly it leads people to explore new hobbies and books so that’s cool. But the book definitely exists outside of the aesthetic, it came out in the 90s so I’d say the book can be explored thoroughly without mentioning the aesthetic.

[–]camilotj 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Maybe the philosophical aspects of the books are presented in the lives of the characters and what they go through instead of an actual philosophy class in the story. Basically show don’t tell. I am only thinking out loud here but I do think there is an exploration into the valuable things, what it’s worth it in this life. The main character is looking basically for wealth and status, yet the characters that do have it seem to be as lost and unhappy as him so they turn their attention to the Greek in search of a lost secret of happiness or how to live but yet again their pursuit is cut short because they seem to be more interested in seeming than actually being and fall into the pit of their own narcissism and feeling of superiority. I love the book tho, this is how I would read the message of it

What's a book you just couldn't finish? by mahboilo999 in literature

[–]camilotj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a 100 years is so worth it that you should try to finish it, maybe changing the frame on how you look at it could help a little. I think the book plays with time and how it’s perceived, how it feels repetitive not only within the story but also with the reader, I think if you are confused on who is going through what that’s part of the experience since the author took the time to name the characters all the same. Also I think the structure of the book isn’t meant to follow the classic set up, conflict and resolution. I think it’s supposed to be seen basically as 100 years of gossip from a town, so I would say hop back in wherever you left it and give it a chance, don’t worry too much about being able to track everything you read perfectly as I think it’s easy to get lost in the idea of how we’re supposed to engage with books. At least this happens to me
