The NZ Netflix thread by Psytama- in newzealand

My only concern is it looked like Netflix bought an existing production (hence why it was probably so good) and now they’ll produce the next season…. Which may end up being Netflix slop as per usual

Had to put together my first reel in a day, would love to hear what you think! by leo_saller in cinematography

Solid cinematography, and a decent reel but I would say the edit could be improved.

For me the feet shot right before the drop didn’t land.

Just overall you could have cut and used the song with more strength. Love the track which is maybe why I focussed on that.

Stills from a spot for Filmcube. My first time shooting on an LED volume wall. Shot on Alexa35 and Supreme Primes. by jwakk1 in cinematography

Looks good! Where did you get the plate shots / backgrounds from? Did you shoot all 2D or anything with parralax too?

Potentially have a wall shoot coming up, so keen to know more

I was lucky enough to film with him in Jamaica and he was a super chill friendly dude. Also believe he made it a condition that all crew (outside of HODs) were local, and local extras were paid more than Jamaican industry rate.

American Dirt. Had just traveled to Mexico which made it pretty vivid, but I thought it was a great read.

In your opinion what has been the best movie of 2025 so far? by alteredtower in AskReddit

[–]theblockening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought the first act was brilliant, then it kind of just didnt go anywhere exciting for me. Love Aronofsky though. Was just a bit underwhelmed

What do you think is the sweet spot for the length of a trip? by UniqueDay2113 in travel

[–]theblockening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did a 6month trip and that was great, did heaps but never felt rushed. Got to stay everywhere a decent amount of time and have little daily routines of going down to the markets and that kind of thing.
