Decided to remaster for social media in a different aspect ratio (less black bars taking up screen space) so its a bit more mobile friendly. First cinematic short film, same terrible image compression by YT.

So I had the opportunity to review Dehancer Pro, a powerful film emulation plugin that brings authentic film looks to digital footage. Exploring its features, I found that while it does an amazing job replicating the characteristics of real film, achieving a true cinematic look requires the right knowledge, references, and workflow.

Dehancer Pro is an incredible tool for achieving a filmic look in digital footage, but it’s not a one-click solution. In this video, I break down what Dehanc...

I created this short cinematic car video set to "Fade Away" by Neffex to reflect on Nissan's rich history in racing—a legacy that now feels like it's slipping away. With Nissan facing serious financial trouble and halting the production of iconic models like the GT-R and the Infiniti Q50 (known as the Skyline in Japan), it's hard not to feel like a significant chapter in automotive history is coming to an end. Here's to hoping that this isn't the last we see of Nissan's racing spirit. P.S. You might notice some judder during the pan shots, but I’ve just learned the secret to preventing it—future videos should be smoother!

First time working with 120fps, and i notice much more noise in post. I'll expose brighter next time, but for now i hope you enjoy this little before and after. More to come ;) (p.s. hopefully fb compression doesn't obliterate my video quality...)

Lets talk about TOOLS! This is called false color and is a visual tool used in film to help cinematographers assess exposure levels in a scene. It maps different brightness levels to specific colors, making it easy to spot areas that are too bright or too dark. For example, in this shot of myself in the driver’s seat, false color helps ensure the highlights on my face and street lamps aren’t blown out and the shadows in the car interior maintain detail. It’s an essential technique for achieving balanced, professional-looking footage!

In camera jpg transfer --> Phone -->LightRoom. Speeding up my selfie workflow, this was not an 8k RAW. Curious how it looks on the PC.
