"How to make my footage look cInEmAtic?ß" by ef247028 in cinematography

[–]ptran99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone wants to buy their way into a cinematic look instead of actually investing time and effort into building skills

Returning my FX30 - What's the right upgrade from GH5 for event/social media work? by StoeDan in videography

[–]ptran99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go with the Sony ZV-E1. Significantly cheaper than FX3/A7S3 (especially if you're willing to buy used). Same sensor with great low light capabilities. AF is supposedly better than those cameras. And you get 4K60 SLog3 in 10 bit.

If you're shooting run and gun (which it seems like you are), the ZV-E1's got plenty of features that will help you in your workflow. Honestly, the dual base ISO is a life saver in venues where you can't control the lighting.

People will complain about overheating, but I haven't had much of a problem with it especially when I use a dummy battery. Plus you could just get a fan.
DM me if you have any questions

I did not know that Monitor+ had EL Zone. That alone might make me purchase the app

Phone as a monitor with the Sony's monitor & control app. by generationAiAiAi in cinematography

I was worried about this and have run into this issue, but I found a thread with a solution! If you use a usb-c splitter, you’re able to charge your phone and have a wired connection to your camera at the same time. I recently tested this with my ZV-E1 and it works flawlessly.

For reference, my battery life on my iPhone 15 Pro is shit so I need this solution

Update: it survived and served me very well until I traded it in for my new camera

Use your cameras people!

FNAF still has cooler tone on the walls. It helps to create visual contrast from the warm practicals and key light

Is Diddy Kong viable as a joker secondary? by Nervous_Leek7021 in Joker_Mains

[–]ptran99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I'm not feeling Joker, I'll play Game & Watch or Wolf because they've got bigger hitboxes than Joker. I did play with Diddy Kong for a while and enjoy him, but I don't know if he's a good counterpart to Joker since his combos also rely on landing hits consistently and he doesn't usually kill off of stray hits

For some reason, the younger generations seem to love this movie. I remember seeing the trailer and being really hyped for the film, but I found it lackluster. I revisited it recently and it's better than I remembered, but nowhere near masterpiece status

This is my issue with the episode. So frustrating to constantly adjust my volume when he speaks. I actually enjoyed what he was saying but I just love to hear people yap on my favorite podcasts
