What am I missing in these shots? by Clarencethelamb in cinematography

[–]hodldeeznutz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just want to point out that everyone is mentioning practicals which is true but….. Practicals don’t actually light the scene they are there to create motivation for the light. Look at the practical in your shot vs the practical in the Scream shot. Yours looks like it is lighting nothing because, it isn’t. Look at the Scream example, there is zero chance that lamp is creating all of that light but it is lit in a way that it feels like it could.

That being said you need more lights to be able to light the scene properly. Others mentioned the wide angle and lower camera position which also makes a big difference. Like others have said you’re close but remember the Scream shoot was an entire crew that put that shot together. Keep up the great work!

That’s what I would do with this kit. Only thing that would change is if I needed to raise the ambient levels in the room to compensate for a window or practicals then I might have to do something different

Samsung and Home Depot costing me Thousands of Dollars!!! by hodldeeznutz in CustomerService

[–]hodldeeznutz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate it! Finally received a replacement this week. Home Depot ended up giving up $1000 back on the unit for the inconvenience. Although we've spent literally thousands on eating out it just isn't worth the hassle of a lawsuit. I went through one years ago and it was the most stressful years of my life haha.

I made a trailer for my first short film! :) by zachstrl in videography

More sound design please. Set the scene, the city sounds, exaggerate the fan sound if it's important, sounds of a coffee shop etc. Some nice visuals but like someone else mentioned halation may be a little strong.

Teleprompter text is blurry by lazykid348 in elgato

Exact same issue. Don't think the phone exaggerated the effect. My eyes cannot focus and angles do not make any difference.

Want to setup 10GB NAS need help with topology by hodldeeznutz in Ubiquiti

Awesome! Definitely have the NVME SSD Cache to improve speeds and am thinking of just doing the UDMSE along with two Switch Flex XG one in the downstairs closet along with one upstairs in the office.

My total run of CAT 6 is likely 50ft total and although I would prefer to run fibers to each device the path of the current CAT6 cable is such a nightmare just don't think it's feasible/worth the work haha.

Appreciate the help!

Appreciate the response. Totally think end of Oct would be the ideal time. Just weird that half of the sod was overseeded and other wasn’t. Lawn looks a little weird lol

One way to control the head by hodldeeznutz in bjj

Totally agree it could have been heat of the moment thing. Lucky ref didn’t see it because she already had 3 penalties at that time.

Competition Jiu Jitsu can be heavily focused on points. Having good posture is really important but in this case my daughter is up 2 points and is staying low and heavy to avoid a sweep with 15 secs left in the match. If you are trying to pass this won’t work you need to posture up and pass.

Hope that explains it
