As the title says, we just need answers. I have how I have always done it, but he has a different opinion so I’m not going to say anything to keep this unbiased. (Btw this is just a friendly debate, so please keep it nice and don’t rip into anyone in the comments).

Sorry for the repost, the other options weren't showing up on my first attempt

Hi! I’m making my first short film and I have this elevator shot I want to use. The problem is that at the end of it, you can see my reflection. I have almost no experience in VFX, so what would you suggest as the easiest fix? Thanks for any ideas or help!

i’m in the dark about how it works. thanks in advance for your info

(Shot is from Better Call Saul)

From 2001 for reference. I’m assuming it was a broadcast camera. Would anyone be able to narrow it down?

1st picture is original screenshot from bluray and in the 2nd on I increased the gamma a little bit. It's much more visible now.

Can anyone tell me why almost every hollywood movie and tv series does this?

This is from the show Wednesday, I just noticed that something about this change of camera angle (after "It's a gift.") looks jarring and disorienting, it took me out of the show all of a sudden.I have noticed this before in other shows too, but it happens very rarely. I don't have experience with filmmaking myself so I have no clue why that is. Is there some obvious thing here that stands out to you as wrongly done, some broken rule of cinematography?

If you tell a drone to go shoplift some Beatles CDs, does that mean that you then own a piece of Lennon/McCartney's back catalogue?No?

Then why do you think you own your ai content? who is going to buy something from you that you don't own?

Honest question, as one of the initial answers you get is that it gives off that 'realistic shot on iphone look' - But its not even really shot on iPhones. By that I mean they use rigs that cost tens of thousands aswell as professional-grade anamorphic lenses with speedboosters.

Not to mention the professional, studio quality post production workflow they would've done with the footage. Why even bother shooting with an iPhone?

@trhsuu: This video was made only using photos, no mp4 or video format was used according to the creator. How was it done though? Could someone explain in detail?

Doing a project that requires our subject to be standing still while people around them walk sped up leaving a blur. Not sure how to recreate this effect so would appreciate an explanation or a link to a YouTube video that explains it. I use an fx30 camera and Davinci resolve. Please explain to me like im a toddler

Is it possible to make a masterpiece for less than half a million bucks? Or is everything at that budget level just a calling card film? What films would you qualify as actual masterpieces at that budget. Not just good, but a masterpiece?

Trying to make a poster for a short film I’m working on, but graphic design isn’t my strong suit. Which of these posters do u guys prefer?

All the movies in the above poster look cinematic, are high action, have a lot of special fx or just a lot of characters and a cool concept and quality wise are up there with many big budget features.

Godzilla Minus 1 cost less than 15 million as well as Everything Everywhere All At once was around 14 million.

So as Hollywood is having a hard time why aren't they not making these smaller but high quality films?

With the budgets these movies had you could literally make 10 of them for 10 million dollars. High concepts and not so famous stars but still a few. Why aren't we seeing that?
