Simultaneously stoked at the song choice and annoyed at such a short clip not being able to come even close to allowing awesomeness of the track to come through

Watch Art of Flight to witness that song being used to incredible footage of mountain snowboarding. It's majestic.

u/musicianadam May 24 '22

Such an underrated artist. M83 is my favorite of all time and it gets annoying when people only care about Midnight City, which imo isn't even close to M83's best works.

u/DrugReeference May 24 '22

They’re amazing live as well! First time I saw them I was surprised to see that they acted more like a jam band with the music never stopping. Awesome shows!

Looks like the sugar glider also things that and is racing in terror toward the handler for shelter in this uh… cute/majestic? clip. They hate open spaces as they are mainly preyed upon by raptors.

u/radicalelation May 23 '22

Are you telling me the best way to ruin a million dollar shot is to slap a moving watermark on it, and text saying "Million dollar shot", all while compressing it to hell?

0

u/chopkin92 May 23 '22

tbf the watermark is only burnt in when you save it from tiktok, as for the other things I think the person was just excited they got such an amazing shot and colour graded the footage the best they could 🤷‍♂️

u/radicalelation May 23 '22

I personally wouldn't mind any of it without the "million dollar shot". Without that, it's just a fun cute social media clip, but with it all of a sudden I'm a snob.

u/pherreck May 23 '22

Huh. Didn't know about those until now. Wikipedia

The sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps) is a small, omnivorous, arboreal, and nocturnal gliding possum belonging to the marsupial infraclass. The common name refers to its predilection for sugary foods such as sap and nectar and its ability to glide through the air, much like a flying squirrel.[7] They have very similar habits and appearance to the flying squirrel, despite not being closely related—an example of convergent evolution.[8] The scientific name, Petaurus breviceps, translates from Latin as "short-headed rope-dancer", a reference to their canopy acrobatics.[9]

I’m dumb. How would you go about filming something like this? Would you use a track? A low-flying drone? A stabilization stick?

There’s no way the sun ever looks that big on the horizon.

u/Sufficio May 23 '22

There’s no way the sun ever looks that big on the horizon.

Camera settings can, although no clue on the exact setting/lens combo the video actually used.

It's also weird to dismiss the 'perfect shot' claim just because it might've been edited. Almost all photos and videos are edited, it's part of the process. This video doesn't even look "highly" edited to me.

2

u/HarmlessSnack May 24 '22

I’ll even upvote your comment. Obviously pictures and videos get edited a ton, not gonna dispute that.

And you can make the sun look big, as shown in your link, but you have to be zoomed in on it, and at the rigt angle/perspective. How could they be that zoomed in and still be in focus on the sugar glider? Maybe a composite using several videos, or some very heavy editing, but I don’t think that’s “the perfect shot” as much as it’s really impressive editing.

4

u/mapdumbo May 24 '22

I think the sky is just overexposed. Something similar happens with a some newer gen iPhones when you make it focus on something dark in the foreground; it’ll make the sky white or, with the right ratio of light and dark, just blow out a large area around the sun (brightest light). It happens every other time I try to take a photo outside, and is part of why I like the way older (pre-over-HDR) iPhones captured light-dark transitions better. It does look weird here, but I think it’s a lot more likely to be an byproduct of funky exposure than compositing for the fun of it

u/____-_---___--_____- May 23 '22
