BTS Video: Beach Shoot with @_LinzzBinz as Slave Leia and Pirate
Added 2024-06-01 18:53:34 +0000 UTCHi everyone. Here is a BTS video of a beach shoot I did with LinzzBinz. Moving forward, I will try to post new videos on the 1st of each month. Thanks for subscribing!

I'm fairly convinced a large chunk of the attachment to 24/30 FPS is filmmakers being used to being able to "hide" poor acting, stunt doubles, imperfect props and special effects behind the judder and blur of motion perception at low frame rates. I am sympathetic to those problems, but it is unclear to me why movies that are not special effects heavy (Rom Coms, etc) can't just be shot in 120 FPS and released in multiple formats so customers can choose. And I am extremely confused why anyone would not shoot/release in 60 for most YouTube genres (video blogs, travel, sports, dance especially). It may turn out that smart phones are the main way that HDR gets popularized, although this is perhaps messy because screen brightness conflicts with battery life (I have to manually crank up the brightness on my S23 when I watch an HDR video, at least on YouTube). Thanks again for chat!

2024-06-10 05:59:25 +0000 UTCYes, I have tons of unused footage sitting in hard drives. But that's just part of the business. For example, on a TFP shoot, photographers may take hundreds of pictures and only deliver 5 to the client. As for 4K 60 fps, I personally love the hyper realistic look of 60 fps. Unfortunately, I lose some of that when I slow it down (even though 120 fps at 50% is still 60 fps). 60 fps looks best when played back in real time. So in the future I will try to implement more real time speed. From my experience, most filmmakers and videographers absolutely hate the look of anything over 24 fps. They call it "the soap opera effect." That's because they romanticize the look of traditional film which is 24 fps. It makes sense that the adult entertainment industry is leaning towards 60p because their viewers want to feel like they are there. Same goes with video games. Lots of them are increasing their frame rates. As for HDR, I think it's only a matter of time until everyone gets on board with it. The problem is that in order to color HDR, you need to shoot in 10 bit color (which is fairly new to prosumer cameras), have an NLE capable of coloring HDR, and most importantly, a monitor capable of displaying a minimum of 1,000 nits brightness. Most TV stations aren't willing to upgrade their equipment and even if they did, I'm not sure if HDR can be broadcast through the current cable technology. I know that it's limited to 1080i (as opposed to 1080p) so HDR is probably out of the question. Films and streaming services are doing HDR now but they are mostly sticking to 24p. As much as I'd like to consult them, there are way smarter people in those departments. I'm mostly self-taught. Again, I appreciate the comment. I hope I answered your questions.

2024-06-10 04:34:22 +0000 UTCThanks, I really appreciate the detailed info! Alright, (mostly) non technical questions now: I noticed that most of your shots are just a few seconds for each model. Do you have a bunch of unedited footage you just discard, or perhaps plan to release in future videos? It piques my curiosity because there is so little high quality 4K, 60 FPS, HDR footage (of any genre) available, and it seems somewhat sad to me if most of it is just sitting on your hard drives for all time. 4K, 24/30 FPS, HDR seems a bit more common on YouTube, and I'm always a bit curious if there exists high frame rate source material and authors are just releasing at 24/30 FPS to keep the "cinematic" tradition, or gave up the 60 FPS option in exchange for 8K masters (with minimal return most likely, since as you said above, 8K won't even be viewed by many people for a long time). Bizarrely, the "adult film" industry seems to have figured out 60 FPS is desired recently but not HDR for some reason, although I'm sure the cameras they shoot with do capture HDR. I'm also curious if you have any insight into this, since you seem to be based in the L.A. area. Have you done any consulting work (if not, please do.. you seem to be doing everything right on minimal budget)?
