Hi guys, about to go into my 3rd year of film school and we need a DOP for my final year grad film. Groups are starting to form and whilst we have a very good crew, I gotta find a DOP still.
What’s the best way of going about this?
How do I get this rich cinematic look on my grades, because I can just never seem to quite get it.
Above is just an example, but I could provide so many that just have that look. How do I achieve that on resolve? Is it the 10 bit video (I only use 8bit because I am on resolve free) or something else with the colours?
Thanks!
Hi all, going into my 3rd year of uni and inevitably thinking about what’s next. The ultimate dream is to work in the film/TV industry, however I do hold a strong interest in sports media as well and currently do freelance photography/videography for my local club’s social media.
I feel like moving to London puts me in the best possible place to make connections and find work (plus I just love living in cities), but how should I go about it?
- How much money do I need to build up?
- What are the best ways to find work?
- Where are the best places to live?
- Any random advice will be taken on board 🫡
Thanks!
Our AI is genuinely insanely bad. All of them. How can we get the AI to play better and is it with the tactics? If so, what are they?
Been shooting 8 bit video because I currently only have the free version of Resolve. Is it worth me shooting in 10 bit (which my camera can) then transcoding it or will that lessen the quality so much so what’s the point.
Plus, what settings should I use for maximum quality if it’s something you guys would advise me doing?
From my understanding, there are a few ways of turning S-Log3 footage into Rec.709. This is through one CST, two CST either side of the adjustments in the middle (like bookends) or a LUT.
What is the best way, or is it all a much of a muchness?
Hi all,
Going into final year of film school, making a 20 minute short film project this year with the aim of going to festivals etc.
We have some of the roles sorted out (I am the producer), just need a DOP but that’s fine it will get sorted.
Issue is - I do not have full confidence in the director because it is not their script and they do not seem fully driven/passionate about it.
What can I do as a producer to ensure the film turns out well in every single department as a producer, if I’m not fully confident in my crew?
Here is a shot and the node tree I used. The image looks super flat and the clouds become all grainy, and the saturation is all off. Am I doing something wrong? What would you do if you were grading this image?
Hey guys I would love some feedback on my work, mainly in how I can make my videos feel more “cinematic” because I feel as though I have a basic workflow of DaVinci down, but I really want those cinematic shots with really rich vibrancy. Any support would be grand

Want to do a create a club career with FC San Marino, putting them in Serie B and at the same time manage the San Marino national team, only scouting San Marino players.
How would I do this/what mods would I need?
If anyone has any experience with something like this or can add San Marino’s national team to the game then let me know
What have I done wrong either in post or while filming for this to happen? The footage itself is fine but this is a bit concerning to me. Working in DaVinci YRGB with Red 709 timeline colour space if that changes things
Shooting S-Gamut3/Sony S-Log3, XAVC S 4K, Embed LUT on
When I grade my footage in DaVinci I do a CST in to make it Wide Gamut, then do my grading, then CST out to Rec.709.
When I deliver to client, upload to google drive, or upload on social media, oftentimes the video comes out compresssed with a heavy saturation, quite grainy and with high contrast.
What can I do to fix this? Is it an export setting issue or something I’m doing wrong whilst filming?
Btw, using Davinci Free

When I edit my videos in DaVinci with colour grading they always come out super compressed with extreme saturation and very little sharpness. I convert to DaVinci Wide Gamut then do the corrections then CST out in Rec.709. Or is there an issue with my export setting?
Just been promoted with Portsmouth, it’s 2028. I need an experienced head in midfield with premier league or top flight experience, similar to Xhaka. Suggestions?
Got this player who wants to leave me because he wasn’t getting playing time etc, but it’s been almost a year and not a single offer has come in, any tips to help? I’ve tried without mods and nobody has come in for him either
Currently at Uni for film production and whilst scripted film & TV is my goal, I am very passionate about sports and videography/photography so I would like to combine those passions. But how do I start, and more specifically, how do I eventually get money?
If I start just doing some free bits here and there to build up my portfolio, how do I start to get out there enough as a brand to actually get clients and start getting money for it?
In addition, what are some top tips for this stuff in general.
Cheers!
This summer me and my mates are gonna have lots of kick abouts, but as someone who isn’t that good at football and didn’t play tons as a kid, how do I get better so I don’t look like a massive idiot?
We play mostly Wembley (World Cup if you’re a wrongun) and just ping it about.
I struggle mostly with finishing and getting the ball off the ground, so how can I improve. Thanks!
