Hello, i'm asking this for a friend so if i seem to be lacking info in this field, i'm sorry in advance. He's a self taught editor, uses da Vinci resolve, currently learning motion graphics online via some self tutoring.

He's a drop out and doesn't hold any degree in this field, though he knows a lot, and has recently been struggling to get good clients or placements cuz almost anywhere he applies for asks him for a degree certificate.

So he is specifically looking for a 6 months motion graphics 'certificate course' that is reasonably priced for what they offer and has good industrial connections or to help him land better placements/ clients.

If you have personnel experience with any of the institutes, do let me know.

He doesn't have a preference: online/offline/indian/global any would do just the degree should be worth his time and help him attract better clients.

Last month I used the flipkart superpay later option for the very first time. I was given a limit of 5000. I guess I did allow the app for an autopay option on the due clearance date but i'm not sure. There's no option showing anywhere on my app to clear the dues. The app says that my bill will be generated on the 1st of next month and dues to be cleared by 5th of the month. I've not received any bill. Just my total balance used out of 5000 and the remaining amount is displayed. Today's 5th, yet there is no requests from flipkart to deduct the due amount or an option to allow me to pay manually.

Please help. How to clear my dues. I contacted the customer care and she asked me to wait till midnight. I fear these people will charge me with extra interest if the dues aren't cleared in time.

Heyaaa!!

I’m an India-based filmmaker, and I created a solo spec commercial for Blue Tokai coffee. Since I was working all alone, I ended up wearing all the hats—writing, lighting, shooting, editing, and even acting in it myself.

Given my limited resources, my main goal was to see how much production value and mood I could squeeze out of a very small setup. I really tried to focus on intentional framing, cinematic lighting, and visual storytelling to set the right atmosphere.

Here is a quick look at the tools I used to bring it together:

The Gear:

Nikon Z6III paired with a 28-75mm f/2.8 lens.

Kept the lighting simple with a Godox SL60W and a tiny Hiffin 7W.

The Look (Post-Production):

Cut and finished entirely in DaVinci Resolve.

Used Dehancer for the color grade, aiming for a cinematic feel with a Fujifilm 3513 emulation.

I’m really looking to grow as a visual storyteller, so I would genuinely love to hear your thoughts. Whether it’s about the lighting choices, the pacing, or the overall vibe—please don't hold back on the constructive criticism!

ps- This isn't my work. I posted this on behalf of . He's new to reddit, doesn't have enough karma and still finding his way through this app (I mean- reddit can be intimidating for beginners- there's just so much going on hehe). So I figured that I'd post for him :). Happy watching!

Mains guidance - feeling lost

Post summary: want genuine advice to thoroughoy prepare for mains from scratch!

Hello! I want to get started with my mains preparation but i'm absolutely clueless, the more i read, the more i get confused about what should be done?

My background: I have a basic understanding of the main subjects (prelims specific preparation), skipped prelims this year due to under confidence and a self realisation deep down that I haven't prepared enough.

For the next upcoming months, want to get done with my mains preparation.

Optional- completed himanshu thapa lecture and made notes. Never attempted answer writing.

Also simultaneously targeting bpsc 2026 on 26th July.

Another thing- i am bad at making notes. Are there any good comprehensive compilations? Or tips on notes writing?

Please suggest me some mains specific courses (online) that you know are good, please! Idk if I should join mains courses with lectures or just answer writing courses. If you can provide the telegram links (just in case, I'll be very grateful since most courses are hefty priced).

In case you have good notes compliation or suggestion to follow the notes of any coaching, I would love to know since i understand concepts better by reading myself than lectures. But for answer writing i'm clueless!

Please do reply. I'm in a crunch.
