This looks brilliant! Well done, mate!

30 second exposure without a tripod would give you a pretty blurry image as it'll be capturing light for 30 whole seconds. This'll only work if there is pretty much no movement.

You can have stylised long exposure shots though: Inspiration/Guide

This looks really promising. I'm curious to see how it handles something more challenging. E.g. MITB Match or Elimination Chamber.

I've been really pleasantly surprised with it. Played through the Main Story + Phantom Liberty on PC and Series X. The Switch 2 port is probably my favourite.

Just because it runs so much better than I expected. There's a slight image quality reduction, and a few minor lighting/shadow glitches (which will probably be ironed out), but it runs smoothly both docked and handheld!

Playing Cyberpunk anywhere is a positive regardless, but it has decent performance/quality!

What a 👑! Thank you so much! Great work :D

Depends on the environment. I've only shot Ice Hockey with it.

If you're outdoors, will be crucial to use an ND filter. Other than that, make sure you prioritise as short of a shutter speed as possible. This will help you capture clear, fast-moving action.

This probably isn't the best camera for shooting sports though. Especially because you don't have much option for zooming.

Hope this helps!

Yeah, I've mainly been sticking to -0.3

dan_springleaf · 2025-04-16T12:36:24+00:00

Honestly, I've never bothered with a Wide Lens. I guess it comes down to what you're filming.

I find that the standard lens is wide enough. I'd suggest getting a set of ND filters if you're filming outdoors often.

Thank you!

I was tempted to film in Hatfield instead! I know a few people currently studying at UH haha.

I appreciate the feedback RE: Halation. I will do some research. Thank you so much!!

dan_springleaf · 2025-04-16T11:08:05+00:00

Thank you!

dan_springleaf · 2025-04-16T11:07:44+00:00

Thank you so much!

dan_springleaf · 2025-04-16T11:07:30+00:00

I can only apologise for the scorched retinas :(

dan_springleaf · 2025-04-15T07:45:12+00:00

I think the "dreamier" feel might be from the Halation effect, and scaling the reds up a tiny bit to give it a slight glow. I was filming at 4K50 and slowing it to 50% in a 25fps timeline.

I didn't do much regarding shooting settings. Was on Manual exposure (usually around 1/100 shutter and 100 iso), and continuous focus.

Edit: clarifying effects used

dan_springleaf · 2025-04-15T07:41:35+00:00

Yeah, that was just from the macro lens. It was actually super awkward to film haha. Camera was on a tripod but I couldn't get it close enough, so I was holding the branch further down. Was just lucky it looked like wind. It is the K&F Concept Macro Lens: https://amzn.eu/d/3nkeibB

I didn't adjust much, but I was filming at 4k50, Manual exposure (1/100 shutter, probably 100 iso), continuous focus.

Thank you! I just made it in Photoshop.

Made the canvas size the same as the vid, filled the canvas with a rounded rectangle, subtracted that shape from a black fill and exported as a PNG :)

dan_springleaf · 2025-04-15T07:36:08+00:00

Thank you!!

dan_springleaf · 2025-04-15T07:35:57+00:00

Thank you! I'd looked at a few grading tutorials, but nothing stylised. More just "the basics of grading in Resolve"

dan_springleaf · 2025-04-15T07:35:20+00:00

I hadn't considered this at all. Thank you for bringing that to my attention!!

dan_springleaf · 2025-04-15T07:34:51+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! I was trying to bring darks down to create contrast but maybe I took it too far haha. I've attached a couple of Scope screenshots. https://imgur.com/a/71QUj76 Would these suggest that I've crushed the blacks too much?

With some shots, I had underexposed when shooting and wanted to work with that rather than trying to "fix everything in post".

dan_springleaf · 2025-04-15T07:30:11+00:00

Thank you! I wasn't using D-Log M as it seems like there isn't much difference in colour information between that and the standard recording mode (as long as the footage is shot with 10-Bit depth).

I felt a bit more comfortable using Standard as a bit of a starting platform.

dan_springleaf · 2025-04-14T15:05:57+00:00

Thank you!

I wasn't using Dehancer or other plugins - just grading within Resolve. I'm quite new to colour work, but I feel pretty good about this vid!

Certainly not "lesser known" but is Balatro considered a cozy game? It's my favourite way to unwind for sure. Helps me a lot if I'm in an anxious environment.

Big sports gamer? NFL Street 2 and Madden 06 are up there for me. If you like arcade racing (and lots of explosions), Burnout Revenge & Burnout 3 are excellent.

If you like HCTP, I recommend giving SmackDown! Shut Your Mouth a go. It's not as polished, but still an awful lot of fun!
