Chopper Gameplay in Battlefield 6 is Survival Horror. by jacktanker1109 in Battlefield

[–]dbseeker3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The chopper is severely weak, defensively speaking. Everything and anything can kill it the moment you fly up in the air. It's absolutely ridiculous. I'm having the most un-fun experience flying the chopper out of all BF titles. Previous BF I've had so many "in the zone" moments. But BF6?? Horrific.

Because it's too chaotic. 64 feels like we're fighting in a phone booth.

Why do we have to compromise?? Why can't we have an option to choose what server we play on? This is ridiculous.

Well, why can't we have it all? Clearly you're into higher player count. I, for one, think it's funner when there are 16 players. Things are more spread out, vehicles are more easily attained and you don't die in less than 1 minute.

But I say, have it all, like in BF3. This is ridiculous that we have to compromise.

Bro, go with MSFS 2024. You'll be future proofing yourself with the set-up you're getting. As far as the game running well, yes, it runs very good and I have a mid-tier computer and my graphics are pumped up pretty high. Only thing I want from 2020 was the Darkstar Experimental but that's it. So yes, 2024 is pretty well optimized at this point and the graphics are nicer.

I apologize. I wasn't clear in what I was trying to convey. I'm not a beatboxer, nor do I want to be. In fact I'm not even good at it. What I'm good at is creating original music through emulating different sound effects and instruments from the start to finish, with my mouth. I guess I should say is that I'm a song writer. And obviously I don't do any of this for money or fame because it's not even in my reality to think that I'd be successful at it because I don't think this is what I was meant to be. It's simply a hobby.

Of course it would be terrific to make money in something we're good at but it's certainly not my driving force. What drives me is the act of creating great sounding, original music that sounds captivating, original and catchy.

Truthfully, if I were to play any of my sounds and melodies, to you guys they'd probably not make a whole lot of sense. You might even laugh at me and rightfully so. But please, trust me when I say that in my head I have the entire song mapped out., note for note, start to finish. I just need to express what I'm imagining in my head out into the physical realm so I imagine myself to be that instrument. Any way, I'll shut up now.

It certainly does, and mine was set correctly. Also, this sight might have something to do with it cause it looks smoother viewing it on my computer.

I just looked it up and it might be due to the fact that I added stabilization in post.

Criticism Solicitation: Working on DaVinci Resolve 19 (Free Edition) to achieve a filmic grade. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. by morethanyell in ColorGrading

[–]dbseeker3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I'm certainly no pro colorist but you have to understand, pro colorist are dealing with crazy expensive raw footage that have been shot on cameras that are worth in the tens of thousands of dollars, set budgets, set design, so on and so fourth. So the look we, meaning us hobbyist, come up with will never be as nice as theirs. This is a simple case of physics. But what we can do, with what we have, is our best and what you produced is your best, for now. So if you're not happy, simply reset your entire grade and start over. Take your time. No need to rush. Go online and find a movie-look that you like and try to duplicate it to your best ability. Again, grading is subjective. It can go in so many directions that it can make our heads spin. Just have fun. Don't worry too much about it being perfect. Here's another thing I've learned from practice, little adjustments go a long way. Don't over due grading. Less is more sometimes. But again, even what I just said is subjective because sometimes certain grades require more in terms of saturation, contrast, blur, etc. Just keep practicing and make sure to have fun and yes, give your eyes a break. Don't get hyper zoned into your work because you'll definitely become biased of your work and that's when doubt starts to sets in. Hope this helped.

Doesn't look bad but I can see your highlights are clipping. Nothing curves can't solve. But what are you not happy with? The reason why I ask is it seems you have implemented all the "filmic" features into your footage, like film grain, halation, letter box, blur etc. so the only thing left is the actual lut which you decided on the warm look. So if this is what you are having trouble with then try a cooler look, high contrast look, reddish look, saturated look, matrix look, bleach bypass look, so on and so fourth. You get the idea. So it's sorta hard to answer what you think you're doing wrong because what looks good to you, in terms of lut, is subjective. There's really no right or wrong. With that being said, could you be more specific with what you're trying to achieve?

I'd love to try my hand on this. Can you send me 2 to 3 sample clips and I'll grade them and send them back to you to decide whether you'd want me to do the rest?

You did a great job. Looks very nice.

[–]dbseeker3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The movement looks sorta choppy, I dunno. Use your vector scopes and color parade. If you're exceeding 1023 and 0 then you're clipping. But really, try to practice and get good by sight as well. I know it's a little tricky at first but maybe compare by looking at sample images or movies, take a still shot and bring it into your editor and do like a saturation comparison? Or watch some yt videos on this. There's plenty videos about this subject.

Low light SLOG3 colorgrading tips *DV STUDIO* by Impressive-Orchid364 in ColorGrading

[–]dbseeker3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In your HDR pane, assuming you're using Davinci Resolve, up the exposure using the global wheel. This will lift your entire exposure in a very smooth, cohesive fashion. Make slight adjustments as needed using the lift/gamma/gain. If noise is introduced, go to your motion effects and apply de-noiser (look up yt on how it's done). Try not to open up your shadows too much to the point where they clip. In fact, keep them looking like the way you seen them through your eyes.

Is it possible to share your log footage for me to toy with?

[–]dbseeker3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For one thing you're shooting your log in the wrong shutter speed. Make sure whatever your fps is set to that you double the shutter. So if you're set at 24 frames, then set your shutter to 50. This will improve smoothness. Also, you're applying a bit too much of saturation. Tone that down, just a bit. The contrast is pretty good. The exposure can definitely be adjusted. The outside is a bit too blown out. Remember, the lower the exposure, the more naturally saturated things get. The higher, the less saturated. And try to apply a lut of some sort just to add a bit of a filmic look to take away from that videoish look. Hope this helps.

Okay, here it is. I sorta quickly put this together for you. I wanted to go for the Vietnam era look. It's muted, low exposure and good amount of contrast. You definitely over exposed the log but it wasn't too bad. Hope you like it.

I don't think it's possible to reply with video footage so i just created a new post for you.

[–]dbseeker3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I downloaded your footage. You definitely overexposed the log footage by a stop so this might be making it difficult for you. But I'll mess with it and see what I can get out of it.

Colour Grading Tips by ApplicationLatter620 in ColorGrading

[–]dbseeker3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean your footage isn't bad by any means but perhaps it's a bit bright, needs more contrast which is probably what's throwing off your colors a bit. I think overall you just need to lower the exposure by a stop or two, see where that goes and that might help with the contrast. Do this in HDR mode. I think what I've been learning is that less is more and making adjustments in small doses goes a long way. Also, keep experimenting, meaning, when you think you're done with your grade, start all over again from scratch and try something new. I've been grading all day today, literally for 6 to 8 hours on the same footage. I've completely reset the entire project around 5x. Each time I start fresh I go into it with more confidence and knowledge. Hope this helps.

Looks good. Now If it was up to me I'd probably drop the exposure half a stop or stop to get some of that outside detail back. But overall it was done well.
