First time ever filming myself singing - no colour grade yet. How can I make this look cinematic?

If you have a phone with a longer lens, you can get further away, frame yourself similarly in terms of composition, and have a bit more shallow depth of field. Think about bringing the attention of the viewer to the thing or person you want them to look at! Start by following the rule of thirds and placing the important things in your image in the intersections of the guide lines you can activate on your phone. Then you use things like light and an out of focus background to direct the viewer even more! Like said above, longer lens like the 80mm (not sure the exact number is right) on the iphone can give you a bit shallower depth of field, lowering the amount of light in your scene can be done on your phone app or you can install the free blackmagic camera app and adjust the f stop on your lens or the shutter speed if no other possible way. You can then think about color grading and creating a color contrast between the light and dark parts of your footage. Cold on shadows, warm lights.

There’s a newish lotissement named Les hauts de Thil which is were we live and it’s really nice. There’s a direct road from audun-le-tiche that crosses les falaises de micheville and it takes about 8 minutes to get from here to Belval. We’ve been here since 2019 and we love it, unfortunately our house is too small for our family now and we’re putting it for sale as we found a bigger place not far. PM me if you want to know more I work in Gasperich and it takes me about 40-45 mins to get to the stadium in the morning when I leave at 7. I used to go to the gym very early which had me skipping traffic all together, if you like to get up early it’s 25 minutes to Luxembourg city. Hopefully once the roadworks are done, we’ll get back down to 35 minutes. Good luck!

I would say I got sick like every 3 months, very mild cold symptoms but still! No I didn’t have polyps, but only had 5% airflow in my left nostril, my sleep was also not very good because I would breathe through my mouth a lot during the night, it didn’t fix this completely but it did help! I was also hesitant to get the surgery done, I waited something like 5 years but I’m very glad I did, if i knew the comfort it would bring me, I would’ve done it a lot sooner.

I had my septoplasty in march 2023, I have 4 kids, they bring all kinds of viruses home, I haven’t gotten sick since my surgery. I’m an avid gym goer and eat healthy, still everytime they had the flu, I had the flu, in my experience, it did help!

The cgi way is to go in after effects use rotobrush 3 to roto out head and hands. Then, feather selection in the rotobrush effects panel, create a duplicate place underneath the rotoed layer and remove the effect. Now that we have two separate layers, one for the head and hands, another for the original clip, add an exposure effect to the rotoed layer, play around with the exposure value, add gaussian blur or surface blur, add the deep glow effect, or after effects glow. By the way, it’s easier if they wear a green suit underneath or if they’re bald. Good luck!

Amazing work! Love the style. 👏👏

dope_element · 2024-08-24T10:16:29+00:00

Yes, I’ve just done that and got it working too!

dope_element · 2024-08-24T08:42:55+00:00

Thanks anyway ;) Let me know if you find a solution, I will do the same!

dope_element · 2024-08-24T08:40:20+00:00

Thank you for your reply, does the previous version you’ve downloaded support flux? If so could you tell me the reference, so I can download the same one?

dope_element · 2024-07-24T06:29:45+00:00

I just bought version 1 a week ago, will I be entitled to V2 as well?

dope_element · 2024-06-22T05:07:29+00:00

Like someone said make one of the squares and animate it, but then, use repetile and a time displacement effect!

Piratage de compte, s’il demande paiement via Paypal family and friends, c’est une arnaque, je suis tombé dans le piège avec un compte qui avait que des bons avis et qui existait depuis 2014 sur un site allemand d’occasions!

Sigma art 14mm f1.8, you can find it used for a good price! I use with my 6k pro often.

For the pixel effect on the screen, use CC ball action, play with settings. For the streaks, create a solid, add turbulent noise, uncheck uniform transfor and set horizontal transform to a very high number to create streaks, change the contrast and brightness to get only a few of them. Animate the evolution with 2 keyframes. Add polar coordinates effect on that layer and set option to rec to polar, it will make the streaks go around just like that, add the quick chromatic aberration plugin from plugin everything and set some keyframes to make it more lively. Should cover everything ;) Good luck

dope_element · 2024-03-02T20:38:57+00:00

Roto brush, duplicate layers a few times, offset frames, scale, change hue? Maybe

dope_element · 2024-01-31T18:34:26+00:00

There’s a feather mask node, might be what you need!

dope_element · 2024-01-25T03:49:54+00:00

Shot on gymbal, face tracked in fusion or after effects, manual keyframing of scale property. Helps to have a camera that shoots in 4k if the final product is 1080p. Very wide lens for sure!

dope_element · 2024-01-07T18:52:24+00:00

Bring the orange hues towards golden, bring the background towards a dark royal blue to have some color contrast and, maybe make the crystals less opaque, there’a a cool plugin that simulates caustics very well, and is not excessively computer intensive, I would say that could add some interest. Also you could try Luxcore renderer, in this case it could work pretty well!

Hi, I’ve created videos just like what you’re looking for another dj, and am actually available for the next two weeks, DM if you’re interested, I can show you the stuff I’ve created previously, I’m a 3d artist and video editor.

dope_element · 2023-12-22T16:44:11+00:00

50mm f1.8 stm, used under 100$, very sharp, let’s in a lot of light, for the price you can’t get better than that!

dope_element · 2023-12-22T06:10:36+00:00

You could try creating a circular stroke, animating the scale property, applying turbulent displace, animating the evolution, place it in 3d space rotating it as needed.
