@@LOOIS2k0 funny enough, they did eventually tell me to stop filming. (Even though you can film it all on your phone, said the guard) I was curious to see if I would be questioned at the entry gate. But was happy to get through with no issues.

Thank you! Going to Boston soon. Excited to capture more of the North East (:

@@chudakorovlive7521 in all honesty, I believe the high noon sun helped greatly with this. If you are referring to the shot in Central Park where the protagonist stands in the middle of the bridge. I always film in s-709 and just lower the shadow / boost highlights. Always making sure I’m not over exposing in the moment.

@@AsimpleTale 🙏 brother

Your words mean the world. The city contains such a vast selection of sounds.

That one is definitely the money shot for the scene in the short film.

Message to bears - moonlight. Good catch, I'll add song names from here on out.

Thanks man, I’ll post the final product whenever the film comes out🫡

For the daylight shots I did. Some of the shots were on an Iphone so they may look a bit off (:

Thank you! The memories within that video will always be cherished.

Thank you for the kind words. I can’t wait to show you what February has already shown me :)

The 35mm will always have my heart. But for travel I find my self using a zoom for various scenarios. This one was a Tamron 28-75mm.

Seems to be a rookie mistake on my part... Thank you for letting me know.

@@AsimpleTale Great video! Wonderful framing and colors. I was just looking for a comment about the render though. The quality is a bit blocky and low res, I'm guessing your export settings were not quite optimized. What NLE are you using? If you want maximum quality on youtube, render the video at 4k, even if the actual video is only 1080. It will trick youtube into thinking it's 4k video and use a higher bitrate and better quality, so even if it's actually only a 1080p source, it will be a lot higher quality 1080p in a 4k container. Also render to a format with high bitrate and low compression so that the file you upload is as clean as possible before upload. Bitrates and compression can be a bit of a tricky and confusing subject but if you want max quality with minimal effort, render as DNxHR or as HQ Prores, which are both high bitrate intraframe codecs, and you can upload the .mxf file straight to youtube which will ensure the maximum quality (before youtube recompresses it, which you have limited control over).

I just found that my upload max was set to 1080p .. Now I am faced with the option of either deleting and re uploading to maximum quality or leaving as is.. Decisions decisions. I appreciate your knowledge. @@AxelKozber

@@AsimpleTale You could always unlist this one temporarily, upload a higher quality one and just see how it turns out. I know I definitely would like to see this again in higher quality. I have 4k screens and especially with nature and landscapes I like to see and feel all the texture. Up to you

@@AxelKozber 4k upload in the works:) Thank you for all of your insight / input.

The song alone move mountains.. Thank you for your kind words. As a film maker / Actor chasing dreams in NYC sounds amazing. Ill be sure to check it out (:

thank you :) @@AsimpleTale

It is moments like these that we remember forever. When given the chance, take it (:

Beauty is all around us. I'm sure you'll find your way to Utah (:

I appreciate this greatly. I've been practicing color correction / grading for the past two weeks so it means the world to hear its improving.
