How to *actually* make cinematic videos from *smartphones* !

If you want to make cinematic video but dont have professional equipment, you can also make them through smartphone!


1.Use a tripod or gimbal

you would need a tripod to actually make stable videos as it is impossible to make stable videos just by your hands. If you budget is a little bigger, go for dji osmo gimbal for mobiles. Gimbals allow you to make a very smooth video without shaking which is not possible with a regular tripod.



2.Play with frame and resolution

Use a cinematic resolution for filming videos or add the cinematic bars after making the video through editing. If your video's resolution is 1920x1080, it would look like a normal yt video even after alot of editing. But, addding the black bars will make a unedited video look cinematic.




3.Adjust Lighting

Lighting is literally the most important factor. If your lighting is trash, nothing can make your video look good. Choose the correct lighting for your environment. If you don't know how to use correct lighting, search it on youtube or google and learn it. You may use some external equipment like softbox lights.



4.Quality audio

Your audio quality also contributes alot in adding cinematic touch. A clear audio with very less background noise is the best. If there is no character in your video, you can add bg music, or any ambient sound. If there is someone speaking in your video, then if possible use a mic. If not possible, then film in a silent environment. If you can't find a silent environment, then dub the voice afterwards.




5.Editing and color grading

editing and color grading can make look a normal video cinematic. Color grading can give any look to your video like action, horror, dramatic. Editing can make your video look cinematic as you can make some montages or add transition, effects, and vfx , cgi. If you know some 3d work, it will be the best.



6.Film at a higher frame rate

Filming at higher frame rate allows you to make it in slow mo after the video has been made. For ex, a 60fps video can be slow downed and it will still look smother, but a video made in 30fps would not look smoother in slow motion. Filming in higher frame rate also make the video look smooth.

Top 10 Science experiments you can do at home !

 Certainly! Here's a list of simple and safe science experiments that you can do at home.  Always remember to follow safety guidelines and, if necessary, seek adult supervision: 1. Baking Soda and Vinegar Volcano    Create a classic volcanic eruption by combining baking soda and vinegar. You can construct a volcano using clay or playdough and watch it "erupt" when the two substances react. 2. Homemade Lava Lamp    Combine water, oil, food coloring, and effervescent tablets (like Alka-Seltzer) in a bottle to create a mesmerizing homemade lava lamp. Observe the colorful bubbles moving through the oil. 3. Rainbow in a Jar Layer different liquids with different densities (like honey, dish soap, water, vegetable oil) in a clear jar to create a colorful rainbow effect. This experiment illustrates the principle of density. 4. DIY Slime Mix glue and liquid starch or borax solution to create your own slime. Experiment with different ratios to achieve different textu...

Here is why apple computer cannot run games smoothly even after having that much power.

Apple computers, including Macs, are certainly powerful machines with high-performance hardware.  However, there are a few reasons why some users perceive that Macs are not as well-suited for gaming as some other platforms: 1. **Operating System and Game Compatibility:**  Many popular games are developed primarily for Windows operating systems. While there has been an increase in the number of games available for macOS in recent years, the selection is still smaller compared to what is available for Windows. Some game developers prioritize Windows due to its larger market share in the gaming community. 2. **DirectX vs. Metal/Graphics API:**  Windows primarily uses DirectX as its graphics API (Application Programming Interface), while macOS uses Metal. Some game developers optimize their titles for DirectX, and the process of porting games to Metal can be time-consuming. This can result in delays or incompatibility issues for certain games on Macs. 3. **Graphics Card Optio...
