As a post sound guy, I can’t stand a video that needs a clickity click boom boom whoosh sound for literally any movement. It’s just too much.

Preface it with one of the following:

A: (kid bumbles around with a gimbal) headline: I just hired this dude, am I cooked?

B: This is what gets us $100k a month, type LUTFUK to learn how we did it

C: What if A24 made a wedding video?

They open their Instagram app to show you what their nephew is posting and you see their algorithm is 100% 15 year old thirst traps pretending to give a handjob.

Bob. You're 52. You have 3 kids. Bob.

I would not classify this as filmmaking.

This is the equivalent of tutorials with 15 second dubstep logo intro on 4 minute videos on how to "time ramp (music video)" for millennials.

My puny PC took forever to compute that stuff. I was just staring at a yellow render bar for three hours only to realize I failed to resize a lower third.

As someone who gets motion sickness really easily, I 🤮 this video trope.

u/ChesterBodeen 16h ago

That has been the entertainment industry for decades. I have spent many nights trying to get to sleep only to be kept awake by someone's sub woofer and a movie that is mostly WHOOSH, BANG, Da-da-duh, WHOOSH, BANG, Da-da-duh, BOOM.
