@@k3lash174 thank you so much! The spinning was quite easy. We moved a magned around it under the table ;)

@@siehstefilm7695 Thanks, sounds easy but it gave a powerful effect. Keep up the good work!

@@k3lash174 thank you! It's out of the music video "At the side of it all" for the band Danube's Banks. Kind of an distopian narrative but positive.

Thank you so much! The final Film will definitely take some time. We're planning on march to start festival applications. The Festival circuit will take a year roughly. So only the patrons will be invited to screenings upfront ;) but till then you'll see some more vlogs like this going into many topics of filmmaking and this specific story.

Thanks! :D

What's up?

Thanks so much! Will finish the 2nd soon hopefully.

Das freut mich natürlich sehr! :)

Thank you so much!! We think most creators are just looking for effects and cool looking images but really need to improve their stories and dramaturgy. All the best from Hamburg

@@siehstefilm7695 All the best from Australia! Have a great week.

Hi Matthew, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. I switched from premiere to resolve completely. Sometimes there were problems with editing in premiere and grading with davinci. Why switching the software when you can do everything with one of them. I needed some time to adjust to the editing in resolve but it's fantastic. Of course you can define your own shortcuts and it is so much easier to do everything with one software. Especially when it comes to corrections for customer. Also audio mixing is so much better than with premiere. The glow effect is included in the studio version and is a powerful tool but the pro mist filter is creating some of the glowing in the highlights as well right in camera. Is that helpful for you?

@@siehstefilm7695 100% thanks so much.

one more question. When you are applying the LOG3 LUT built in Davnici Resolve. With that work flow do you need to overexpose by 2 stops (ETTR) like a lot of other LUTS out there (eg. Leeming LUT), or can you just expose right at 0.00?

@@MatthewChenDirector Hi Matthew, sometimes I don't apply the conversion lut at all but in this case on the third note. After noise reduction and a correction note (exposure and White balance). The conversion lut wants you to expose middle grey at 55% I think. That could even mean to underexpose the shot depending on your subject and the surrounding. But I am overexposing the shot up to 2 stops depending on the shot and the subject to reduce the slog noise. That's why I do corrections before the conversion lut. Sometimes it's better to not use it at all for having more options after applying the conversion depending on where you convert to. Usually rec 709. Often I try to open up the shot a little after the conversion. But of course the conversion makes things much easier. Is that similar to your workflow in fcp?

@@siehstefilm7695 yes very similar. I am currently using a LUT from Paul Leeming, which requires you to overexpose quite significantly as it darkens the image considerably once applied. I noticed that the built in LUT from Resolve does not darken the image but just adds back the color and contrast ... this seems to be very nice. Of course I understand you could still over expose a bit (using aperture not ISO), so that you can reduce noise further but that's good practice independent of LUT behaviour.

Hi, I'm not sure. I probably were staying at 1600 while using the VND but roughly everything under 3200 (or a little more) is fine with me depending on the light conditions but no later then 6400 i would prefer 12800 as the sony a7s iii is a "dual iso" camera. Is that helpful?

Yes it is

Thanks man! Sorry I didn't put that in to the description. It's "this could be" By Joel Ansett licensed via artlist.

Hi Jodok, slog is not the problem here but the codec. H.264 is not the easiest for a PC but H.265 would have been worse. You could work with proxies or format to prores. as I am using DaVinci resolve I just created optimized media files.

Hi Aleksei, that's exactly what happened but thanks for your advice anyway
