This week’s challenge is inspired by @Marquis Roberts , who made an incredible video called “Do Nothing but Make It Cinematic.” The concept is simple but powerful take the most ordinary moment and turn it into something cinematic. I loved the idea so much that I’m joining this challenge too. Your task:🎥 Film anything it could be you sitting, walking, workout, cooking, thinking, making coffee, literally doing nothing.🎧 Make it cinematic using composition, lighting, sound design, and music.⏱ Keep it short around 15–20 seconds. We’ll watch all submissions together on this coming Wednesday’s group call, so make sure to upload your video in the challenge folder before then. and we will crown the most cinematic one! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1z7a_2pfbRuQGO-BXmA_EexpxNyHbGgmU?usp=sharing Can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with! Let’s turn “nothing” into art. 👇 Marquis’s original video is attached below for inspiration.

Hey everyone here is a video on how I used Ai to create this scene. What are your thoughts on Ai ? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPECqgUjtx4/?igsh=MXF6eXNpajlrZmZrbA==

Using this app (white balance kelvin meter) you will be able to nail your white balance. so no more guess work on what white balance to use. All you have to do is turn the app on and point the phone to a white wall or any thing white (paper, white shirt, white board) the app will give you a white balance value that you should input in your camera. if you are using creative lighting (eg purple light) you can't really use the reading the app gives you. as you are intentionally added the purple light. but if you are shooting in natural lighting and want to get true to life colors then use this apps reading and you will be able to nail the white balance.

Ai has its flaws and takes alot of tries as you guys had seen on our previous calls, but it is getting better by the day. and if you do these style effects it will work so perfectly. the only issues at the moment with ai is if you are trying to replicate physics. for example a person running. it will completely for the most part mess it up. but if you use it in a creative way like I demonstrated below it works pretty well. just to give you some insight I achieved this effect using chatgpt + higgsfield in just 2 tries. and higgsfield is also running some free trials at the moment. so I would love to see you all try this effect out or make your own using the technique I demonstrated.
