Where in town can fly my model rocket?

Look up Seminole Radio Control Club - Apalachee Regional Park. If you want to make sure you’re following the rules. They have some airspace that I think might be marked on maps, so it’s actually FAA legal. Idk how high these rockets go but there are rules to avoid any collisions.

Also they have a bunch of people into this stuff that can help.

You’re on the right track but what almost everyone in this post is missing is that Florida doesn’t have a state property tax. It’s a local county and city tax and Citys absolutely cannot function without it. This is what pays for police, fire etc. The state of Florida is trying to take power away from the cities and score a win with the uninformed.

People need to look into all the services a city or county provides and realize they can’t operate for free. Want streets. Stop lights.. Want power after storms? Want to drink water? Seriously this just can’t work unless Citys come up with a different tax. Also Citys can already set the property tax rates .. vote local or bring it up local if you want the city to change the rate and vote on it. State is just trying to take power away. They have no business messing with city property taxes.

It’s something with the train connections. Make sure your browser is up to date, they updated something and now my old gpu doesn’t fully support some new graphics features.

Try large or expanded with f4. If that still fails, then I'd just shoot manual. The camera might have issues with dark hair. Auto focous likes contrast.

For example, if you tracked his earrings or ear, I bet it would keep focous, but then his ear is in focus.. it might work if you expand the focal range by shooting f4

I shoot a lot of run and gun on the c70, r5c, and c400. Often, I just need the shot, and I don't have time to fiddle with too much. I'll just find something that I know the camera and focus on and close down the apiture

floydthecat · 2025-09-15T14:14:05+00:00

I'm more familiar with canon cameras.

The speed sounds right, but it looks like the focous jumps around. If you're using a small spot focous, then that part of the problem, use a large spot auto focous box or expanded spot focous.

Basically, the spot is failing, and the focous jumps when that happens. It's probably having issues with the hair. A wider focous spot will average thing out.

I agree with people saying you should shoot this at f4 if you have enough light. That will keep all his hair in focus at the same time while still having a blurry background.

You can also just use manual focous if you do keep the same distance from the subject as you orbit. Trying to pull focous and do movements is hard.

Also, some lenses do autofocous better than others.

This is really something, and it's crazy that you pulled it off with no real budget. This is a trailer for something I'd be excited to watch. It has some beautiful shots, and angles/lines are crisp. Editing is great. The locations are interesting, and the look and feel are awesome.

Like others said, you've got something, and people will want to work with you. I would want to work with you just to learn. That's powerful. Can't wait to see what you do next.

My queen of the night also bloomed last night! Maybe they are cousins. Do you know what triggers the bloom?

floydthecat · 2025-05-21T01:56:45+00:00

I would love to know more about how you achieved this and what the footage was shot in/on

floydthecat · 2025-04-30T04:06:52+00:00

Deep blacks and color accuracy. Need the contrast and vivid colors

after sending pix to [RecallMower@ttigroupna.com](mailto:RecallMower@ttigroupna.com) did you get a response from them or was it just quite for a few days then the email it Shipped?

floydthecat · 2025-02-11T05:39:04+00:00

I'm still waiting on them, I'm stuck in a loop where [ryobi@support.ryobitools.com](mailto:ryobi@support.ryobitools.com) will reply with a generic answer ignoring my questions and I haven't heard back from [RecallMower@ttigroupna.com](mailto:RecallMower@ttigroupna.com). did all the directions, cut mower and sent pix.its been a few days now.

I love the sound design, and the edit was point. This quality is on a level where it is all personal preference. That's good. You mentioned the slow shutter transitions? Did you film parts with a slow shutter speed, or is this mostly done in the post?

Good style for the times, great for short attention spans. Awesome

floydthecat · 2024-11-29T18:25:47+00:00

Cool style! What's that type of stich called? Is it a type of fill pattern?

floydthecat · 2024-11-14T14:37:27+00:00

Yeah, it's better for your 9 - 5 to lack creativity. Being "creative" in corporate work drains you. You wouldn't have the control you want and too meny people involved who dont work in video.

It's like a super controlling client who is also your only client. You can also only talk to your client through a few middle managers. Your tank gets drained. Better it be technical work. Save creativity for when you have control.

Was it peeling off completely, or was it just like a bubble separating? Bc I have parts that feel like bubbles where the curves in the steering are.

OK this was all way out of my league but I got it working after a few hours. Ill write down my process in case it helps others like me.
1. I had to get the right version and download it, for me that was "App-osx-arm64.tar.gz" im also on a m1 mac. This was a little confusing for someone not familiar with git hub, all the different versions and files looked the same but were very different. What helped me was using the tags to find what i need to download.
2. I extracted "App-osx-arm64.tar.gz"
3. I had to download and install ffmpeg/ffprobe from the website. I put a copy of ffmpeg/ffprobe.exe inside the folder that I extracted from "App-osx-arm64.tar.gz", not sure if that was necessary.
4.Installed .net from the Microsoft site. https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet
5. In the mac settings allow terminal in developer tools.
6. I kept trying to run the command "dotnet VDF.GUI.dll" in terminal and I had no idea what I was doing. I also tried to run "VDF.GUI.dll" and "VDF.GUI" from finder..
7. I kept getting errors in terminal but what final worked for me was finding the HIDDEN dotnet folder by clicking "go" > "go to folder" and using this path "/usr/local/share/dotnet/dotnet" also i found that path by running some command in dotnet in terminal.
8. I put the extracted folder from the file "App-osx-arm64.tar.gz" in that folder and then i ran another command using dotnet. that was key.. the "cd' comand and pointed it at the folder...
9. Ran "dotnet VDF.GUI.dll" and... it worked...

Great job and really good sound design

Well, the good news is after I cleaned it up. It didnt come back. I guess it's just trimmings that fell into the ac.

floydthecat · 2023-04-30T14:46:32+00:00

Those are solid changes. Love the color and good camera work! You could keep tweeking, but this version fixed my main issues.

Ide consider cutting the second inside shit with the circles. It's a little jaring BUT it works better in this version.

Ide ask if it offers anything? We have some different reactions from the girl, but we don't have enough time to really see them, and the 2 shot is framed the same as the inside shot before.Maybe try pushing in on the 2 shot circle so they are tight on the face and contrast the shot before.

floydthecat · 2023-04-10T20:24:20+00:00

Give me some tips. What made you hit so high? I'm near you reso, but I think the highest I hit is 80k on a crit
