    My Dream Fantasy film Final Trailer (Remaster)

    WAY better. That MJ tune wasn't even in the same key. And you even made the trailer to precisely the whole 5:36 of that song. Felt more like a crutch than an artistic statement. Glad you're steppin out!

    Etude "I Does This" in D major, and vogue femme choreography

    Luz played a small role in my first film, Shades of Majenta [Jaz The Rapper - We Will Shine]. Here she stars in the song that played over the credits. ;) This was another one-man production. Happy to answer questions.

    event PULL UP! Got selected by a festival. Screening March 15 in NYC...

    March 15, 7pm @ Wild Project, a small theater in the East Village, 195 E 3rd St (bet Aves A & B). Tickets: https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pe.c/11016301 If you can't make it, you can still watch it on youtube. Most festivals require the film be private, so I only submitted to a few that don't...

    Shades of Majenta

    Just got selected for the NY No Limits film festival! I only entered a few, including Tribeca. I figure it's like applying to college. Apply to state schools primarily, and throw a Hail Mary at an Ivy League because why not? lol Tbh, I didn't intend to do the festival circuit. Straight to the...

    Shades of Majenta

    I posted this awhile ago but I still had much to learn. Studied harder, made big improvements all around, especially the mix on the song. It's now on Jaz's channel proper, and the song is available for download/streaming everywhere. I was blessed to work with such an amazing cast including...

    color-grading Does color grading make you dizzy or nauseous?

    I haven't eaten anything unusual, though there's always a possibility of random food poisoning. Or catching a virus. :shocked: But I wonder if it's the color grading. Previously, I did short spurts of grading along the way. In the 11th hour before publishing my film, I realized everything was...

    festivals Post on youtube or send to film festivals?

    Speaking of trailers 😁 https://www.instagram.com/p/CJmyDNEFJyR/ I may submit to a few festivals anyway. The worst that happens is they say I can't because it's public already.

    festivals Post on youtube or send to film festivals?

    Hmm, according to Sundance's FAQ, it's ok. There are hundreds of festivals, of course. If anyone's familiar with such guidelines in general, lemme know.

    festivals Post on youtube or send to film festivals?

    Ok, so I posted it privately, giving the password to the actors involved. Being my first film, I'm hoping to get some feedback and make any needed adjustments. Question: one of them asked if they could post a snippet to social media. Would that disqualify entry into festivals? Fwiw, the film is...

    festivals Post on youtube or send to film festivals?

    I can live without the 2 second flex at the start of the film. lol Festivals are another world of research, plus time. And then there's covid turning things upside down. Just gonna post it on the interwebs... https://www.instagram.com/p/CJPJoodHGqh/

    festivals Post on youtube or send to film festivals?

    When I googled festivals, the first result was filmfreeway, which allegedly enters you into thousands of festivals, and for free. Is there a catch? And why should the film not be public if I'm to send a link to targeted people/companies?

    festivals Post on youtube or send to film festivals?

    Hard to say. First film. And I've been 100% focused on the film itself. I suppose I want people to see it and hit me up for work. If I put it on youtube, could I still submit it to festivals? Or is it only one-way, festivals first then other platforms?

    festivals Post on youtube or send to film festivals?

    I made a short film and music vid. Should I submit to film festivals or just post on youtube? Both? (Is that possible? Or do film festivals only accept things not yet published?) What would be the reasons for one vs the other? I tried googling some info, but all I get are results about youtube...

    vfx Add sunlight to video?

    It's tricky because even in the original scene the sun kept going in and out of clouds and there was no time to wait for it to be one or the other. I can get maybe 80% of the way there with color grading. Upping the highlights and saturation, and taking out some blues. Maybe that'll be good...

    vfx Add sunlight to video?

    Google shows me flare effects. But I'm looking for something like what some smartphones can do now with stills. I did pickup shots of an outdoors scene that was originally sunny, but cloudy for the pickup shots. Any way to convincingly add sunlight coming from a certain direction? Or are we not...

    Very common music video effect. HOW??

    Not looking for the "twitch" effect, but you can see the effect I *am* talking about in that clip: How he transitions from slow motion to regular speed in the same shot, and it's all smooth.

    Very common music video effect. HOW??

    A single shot will go from normal speed to slow motion, and vice versa. How's that done? If you shoot in 24fps, slowing it down wouldn't come out quite smooth. But shooting at a higher frame rate means that getting normal speed in a 24fps video would be skipping frames, right? Seems like a...
