In this video, I’ll show you 5 simple tricks to make your everyday life look cinematic — no crazy rigs, no insane locations, just your camera and the room you're in.

We will be going through how I shoot, edit and most importantly, my thought process going into each stage

Whether you’re a filmmaker, a content creator, or just someone who loves storytelling through visuals, these tips will help you turn the mundane into movie-like moments. This is how I practice cinematography at home and keep my creative eye sharp.

thx. u recommend so many diff platforms. from motion array just a few months ago to now artlist. I'm looking for a platform but don't have the resource to subscribe to multiple platforms. Can u just give the tldr of which one is more worth it? And if its just music and sfx, what would u recommend?
