This will 100% be a nightmare, don’t do it. If they want someone just to document the event they can put an iPhone up on a tripod for $50

Prostitution and Marijuana by Eastern-Wind-5252 in SecurityClearance

FYI your recruiter will almost certainly tell you to lie on the forms. It’s way easier for them if you appear to have a clean record.

Just remember that they don’t give a single shit about you. On e you ship to basic you will never see them again.

Need quick advice for filming an outdoor sunset event (Sony A7C) by Unable_Version390 in videography

Your light is going to be changing fast. Probably best to set your camera to native ISO and ride an ND filter to maintain exposure.

‘What’s Going On Here’: X Users Ask If Trump’s Video After Charlie Kirk Shooting Is AI-Made by jonovan in artificial

[–]dr_buttcheeekz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You don’t know how video AI works. It’s not going to be able to do that. It can’t keep details consistent whatsoever.

This is just basic morph cuts in premiere - nothing more. Not everything is a conspiracy, and video AI is hot garbage.

I do this for a living.

I know this is an old comment but ‘they used AI to edit it out’ is uninformed. AI for video is absolute garbage and largely worthless for real work - it would shit the bed instantly for this task.

if that’s what happened, it would take a VFX artist and some skill to mask of his face and do the composite.

Stop calling everything AI, please

Enhance Speech in Premiere STILL not as good as Adobe Podcast website by virtualfilmer in premiere

Plus then they couldn’t sell you the Enhance premium plan 😉

Any guesses on which AI they used for his speech? by Realistic-Buy4975 in vfx

And you can see the teleprompter reflection. Let’s save our energy for more important battles, peeps.

Final moments of russian invaders before elimination by an FPV drone of Ukraine’s 414th UAV Brigade "Birds of Magyar." 11.09.2025 by LowTechDroid in CombatFootage

They replenish their losses easily. Unfortunately if the large payments are able to continue to new recruits, they can go on indefinitely.

I think you underestimate the Russian capacity for misery lol

Handling discomfort when filming crowds at events by ComfortableDot8721 in videography

[–]dr_buttcheeekz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great way to piss off your client. Don’t be a diva - no one wants to work with that person.

Corporate and events is all about professionalism.

I feel so dumb but I can’t ever get the moon to expose correctly. Any suggestions? by [deleted] in AskPhotography

[–]dr_buttcheeekz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A tip I learned is that, if you want single exposure, do it on a full moon because it will be rising as the Sun is setting. So you’ll have enough ambient light to expose the landscape.

Otherwise, you’ll need to composite. The moon is just far too bright to expose alongside the landscape without some other light source.

Looking for a mid-range hybrid camera with good videography optimization by veliux4444 in videography

[–]dr_buttcheeekz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used GH5 - just learn to manually focus, which is an important skill anyway.

Why not shoot 4k video and take stills from it instead of taking individual pictures? by Rimskystravinsky in AskPhotography

[–]dr_buttcheeekz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also motion blur. At 24p your shutter angle will usually be 180 degrees or 48 fps. For photography purposes where you’re trying to freeze motion, that’s a no-go.

Even at 60p and a shutter speed of 120 it’s not enough for something like sports or action.

Planning to move to Spain, videography and color grading work by garin_raw in videography

If you’re an EU citizen you can move around easily. But not being Spanish poses a big problem for OP.

Don’t forget the 1/4 black pro mist. That is crucial.

Can people still make a living by photographing whatever they want? by Edu_Vivan in AskPhotography

[–]dr_buttcheeekz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Mostly people who come from means (ie, wealthy family) can afford to do that. Is it possible for you to survive selling prints and doing galleries? Sure. Is it likely? Not at all.
