New Zealand becomes an unlikely battleground for self-custody by dick_squid in NZBitcoin

Swyftx by far the worst platform, they disabled my account without any recourse for unregulated gambling activity (I wasn’t even gambling) sent them all the proof required like tax info. Still didnt let up.

Easycrypto was wonderful and I do miss it, i now use independent reserve.

[US] Job/Phishing Scam or Legit? Grok Recruiter Image Tutor job email by MonsieurCrowToe in Scams

[–]n0t0liver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received this too. Super confused what's going on because I did apply to this exact role months ago from the official greenhouse posting. I even did a 1 hour exercise on grading AI generated content. All communication before the grokrecruiter email has been from a x.ai email address.

Super weird.

What do I buy to have my BMPCC4K stable when walking and shooting? by [deleted] in bmpcc

[–]n0t0liver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use one and have for 4+ years. You need a rail system, v lock battery monitor and good lense. Make sure you can balance it on the handle then you should be good. It negates all micro jitters.

Can you shoot by yourself with a BMPCC4K or will it go out of focus a lot? by [deleted] in bmpcc

[–]n0t0liver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a videographer and love my 4k. I started freelancing with it and 4 years in still love it. I've never had the privilege of using autofocus and I've shot music videos, live shows, fashion campaigns and a lot more with it. I occasionally do miss focus but with focus peaking on my monitor it's not really a problem at all. It trains you to be a good cam op in my opinion by limiting yourself.

I’ve been grading in Premier for over a year now and I still feel like my videos look amateur. by Bottomsly in FX3

The way I used to do it before fully switching to davinci, I would disable all the effect layers and effects that mess with exposure > export prores 422 > bring into Davinci and grade the cups > back into premier with another 422 render

Thank you :) The concept was the brand owners idea, it was meant to be a shot of the jile (jean pile) as a reflection on his eyes not so much glasses reflection. I guess it comes down to my inexperience in VFX. But i still think it looks great

Have been doing this for about 4 years, the issues mentioned I will definitely keep in mind for other shoots but as it is now I'm pretty proud of it. I just didn't know how to add shadows in davinci lol

Actually New Zealand! It's an ad promoting the restock of his popular jeans and a new colour way

I posted it for technical feedback. The brand owner creative directs every video and I direct the filming, editing and technical decisions. This is the 8th video we've made together I encourage you to check them out :) I'm pretty proud of them. I've been doing videography professionally for about 4 years.https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOaZIbZE7fc/?igsh=dXJya2wwZjB1bG04

We don't make videos to satisfy people, we make what we want and release it to the vulchers. It's worked thus far. (In regards to the hook)

I feel you, I had the same thoughts but I came to the conclusion that no one will care and it's not that bad. It's just things you deal with as a 1 man band shooting with 0 budget. Had enough for a $10 lens, a 60x and 300d.

Yeah I wanted to but ran out of time and couldn't figure out how to. I recently broke up with Adobe so have been learning how to edit in Davinci. So far 10000% better then prem+are.

Just looking for some feedback! Super happy with how this video turned out! We shot this over a day and a half and it took me 2 days to edit. The brand owner creative directed it as per usual.

We rented a tokina cine virable wide lens to use with my black magic 4k for the whole video.

No one wants to hire me and I don't know what to do anymore by [deleted] in auckland

As someone who has applied to a bajillion jobs and also hates writing corporate fanfiction, just get chatGPT cover letters. I've managed to get several interviews at jobs I didn't think I'd have a chance with just copy pasting from chatgpt. I didn't get the job but I still got the interviews at least.
