LabraThor & ReelRefinery
Hey Reel, I've been tinkering with a high‑speed camera to capture the exact moment a storm's eye opens. Thought we could brainstorm how to turn that raw data into a cinematic flash of myth—like Thor's hammer striking the sky. What do you think?
Nice ambition, but raw high‑speed footage is just a data dump. First, decide how many frames you actually need for that mythic impact – 30‑fps feels sluggish, 1000‑fps gives you too much motion blur to cut cleanly. Then you’ll need to stabilize, then grade for a dramatic, almost other‑worldly palette – high contrast, maybe a cyan‑to‑magenta sweep to mimic lightning. If you can cut the thunder‑clap to a single frame and overlay a thunderbolt particle effect, you’ll get the hammer strike feel without wasting a million seconds of footage. Just remember: the myth only gets told if the edit feels tight, not if you let the camera run like a runaway train.
