"The Cheerleader effect," which Barney Stinson mentioned in 'How I Met Your Mother' (based on actual research), is how I describe all the AI videos being released by companies nowadays. These videos show stunning, glittering visuals for 3-5 seconds with slow camera turns and 'oh wow that amazing lighting!' (what in the world will humanity do without that gorgeous lighting). When put together, they create a sense that everything is perfect and grand. It's hypnotic and captures you like a fly. But if you take out each shot and remove the camera turn, what do you see? You'll notice the eyes and lips are mismatched, the liquid filling up looks unnatural, the house's center of gravity is off, the gun is held incorrectly, and the camera moves faster than the person, making him glide awkwardly Yes I know, AI isn't perfect and still has a long way to go before producing the correct visuals. The point isn't to criticize AI but to look at the direction it's taking. It's all about aesthetics – glow, shine, contrast, and bright colors with flashy cinematography. There's no focus on accurate physics, environments or human anatomy. Maybe it's time to change the direction and create videos that are accurate, even if they're not the brightest. There's nothing wrong with a low-light setting if it's correct. Why start with videos where saturation and contrast are cranked up to 100?

A GREEN SCREEN* NEED NOT BE IN GREEN Green doesn’t necessarily work for everything, even in well-illuminated shots. The thumb rule is – background has to be a completely different colour from the subject. In other words, there should be no matching colours! For example it’s difficult to film ‘Kermit - the frog’ against a green screen because he could disappear while mixing the shots! Using a blue screen would be a better choice for such cases. *GREEN SCREEN is a Visual Effect Technique (VFX) where two different images or video streams are merged together.

Because I don't have enough projects...here's a peek at my upcoming sample library! -- Exciting News! I'm thrilled to share a glimpse into my latest project: "Cinematic Decay: Strings I". Here's an updated screenie of the UI. It marks the beginning of what I'm calling a "microlibrary" in the Cinematic Decay series, and it's all coming together under my banner, ZQ SFX LLC. Here’s what’s unique about this library: 1) I’ve poured my heart into capturing custom recordings, putting instruments and synths through an epic journey of processing with external gear. Each sound has been lovingly recorded, re-recorded, and even re-re-recorded across various tape mediums like cassette, reel-to-reel, and VHS. The result? REALLY gritty and textured sounds. 2) Modwheel magic - Dynamic samples that evolve with your Modwheel. 3) Introducing the "Degrade" knob - it’s your ticket to adding that irresistible grit and edge to your tracks. 4) Velocity made optional - you have the control to shape your expression, exactly how you envision it. 5) Dive into MIDI Learn functionality for custom volume/dynamics mapping - your creativity, your rules. 6) Full control over ADSR for each patch, because every detail matters in sound design. Keep your eyes peeled! "Cinematic Decay: Strings I" is coming soon and I can't wait for you to experience the sounds I've been dreaming up. #CinematicSounds #KontaktLibrary #SoundDesign #FilmScoring #MusicProduction #AudioEngineering #synth #tape #analog #samplelibrary

WHY are movies shot against a green background? The green background is used in films in order to replace it with computer-generated visual effects: a single-color green canvas transforms into a panorama of the city, for instance, during the post-production phase. Technically, the background color can be anything - gray, white, black or purple, but films are shot against a green background, as this color stands out the most (that is, it is easier to highlight and replace it with another color or image later on).

A Gestalt short film about cells This old video is my first project ever with After Effects, and for me it's sweet how the video gets progressively better during the view, because I was still learning the basic gestures of the software🫀 #motiongraphic #graphicdesign #aftereffect
