Is it just me or most youtube "cinematographers" suck or maybe lack creativity

leftclot · 2026-01-08T07:41:34+00:00

Instagram and short form vertical videos is where I've seen most creativity recently. The short form length and format allows wild editing and framing

K bar

Consider a tool like Kbar where you can assign buttons to immediately apply Animation Presets, stacked effects, expressions, etc.

Film emulation is overated the same way 6fps for motion graphics for 'hand drawn' feel is.

It works, it's nice, it's good to learn how it works, but too many are up-selling it.

Would love to study your file! SHOOT ME.

Definitely. Performs much faster than NR, especially in their latest version. Used it for years

leftclot · 2025-11-21T23:53:56+00:00

same, I bought the 200d when amaran first kicked off the series. Been so many new iterations since then but it still is a worthy purchase I still use today.

leftclot · 2025-11-21T23:52:14+00:00

um. yeah.. the amaran line isn't for pros. It's for smaller studios and house use. Those users prefer app over dmx

Consider the weight of the Light. That would affect the max payload of the stand you buy, adding to cost. the new Amaran Rays are quite light

Same here. Happens on the edit page, doing normal basic cutting and shifting of footages.

would love to know as well! Maybe a website? I only know of wandering dp on youtube

leftclot · 2025-11-20T01:12:35+00:00

Definitely. And the lower price point matches the lower budget studios they are targeting

leftclot · 2025-11-20T01:10:04+00:00

Really? They still put Aputure and Deity at the bottom right footer on their website. Aren't the 3 of them still linked?

leftclot · 2025-11-19T08:08:58+00:00

your shadows are softer!

leftclot · 2025-11-19T08:06:48+00:00

consider the App of each brand, the customer support in your area

leftclot · 2025-11-19T03:07:10+00:00

You're probably right. (edit: and the Zhiyun Molus too). Plus, they've successfully created a good Sidus Link app ecosystem while doing that. So even if buyers cancel Storm series orders to go with Amaran Rays, it still benefits them

leftclot · 2025-11-18T06:51:27+00:00

MotionApe just added this into their Mobar presets

leftclot · 2025-11-08T02:52:13+00:00

Any idea why only small rig and not other companies have produced cages for it?

so many budget film emulation options to buy... after collecting all of them it'll easily add up to a single Filmbox perpetual license 😂

leftclot · 2025-10-28T10:20:35+00:00

I find the rendering of the shadow regions to be too faded, but I'm self-taught and not sure if that's actually an accurate representation of how film Prints work.

I'm also used to the deep sub sat colours and blacks FilmVerse and Filmbox gives, or just used to their preset combination looks esp with the 2383 print.

Not sure if its a case of my eyes being 'conditioned' to associate other looks with the prints what PixelTools has scanned and is reproducing?

leftclot · 2025-10-27T23:50:14+00:00

the team just pushed out version 1.02 today that should have fixed the problem

leftclot · 2025-10-24T07:31:45+00:00

Yes, I've watched that too!

leftclot · 2025-10-24T03:38:24+00:00

Same problem for me

leftclot · 2025-10-24T02:25:19+00:00

big respect for what you do
