realme shares 5 content creation tips with the realme 8

The rise of popular social media apps like Instagram and TikTok means just about everyone can be a multimedia content creator if they want to, resulting in a lot more content to enjoy online.

Because of this, content creation has become quite the passion for today’s generation, and realme, the number 1 smartphone brand in the Philippines, is committed to nurturing this passion and enabling the youth’s creativity.

While these social media apps make it easy for anyone to publish content for friends and followers, creating consistently beautiful images and videos—especially with only your smartphone—is something you’ll have to work a little harder to achieve.

There’s no need to worry, though, because it’s not impossible to pull off with the realme 8 and its powerful photography features!

Here are a few tips to help you in creating great content using the realme 8.

1. Look for stunning locations to capture

The first thing to do when you start creating content is to make sure the shot looks really good. Half the battle is the location you’re in—if you can find a good, visually stunning location for your content, then it won’t be hard to make it eye-catching and beautiful.

The realme 8’s main 64MP wide-angle lens can capture these alluring and dazzling locations with the best crispness and clarity to create some thumb-stopping photos and videos, so use it to your advantage!

2. Take as many photos and videos as you can

Chances are your first takes will not be the best takes you can use, so just keep shooting! No matter what you’re shooting, whether it’s a photo or video, take a lot of it so that you can have as many options as you need—sometimes the best one will be the one you take after the first.

With the realme 8, you can keep shooting to your heart’s content with its impressive battery life thanks to its massive 5,000 mAh battery.

3. Try different perspectives

Don’t just hold up your phone’s camera in front of something! Try different angles to get different perspectives. The realme 8’s quad-camera setup in the rear has different lenses, such as an ultrawide and a macro lens, to make those out-of-the-box perspectives look good.

You’ll never know what you might find when you try something unusual.

4. Try shooting at different times of the day

Shooting at more “dramatic” times of the day, like the golden hour in the afternoon or the blue hour before sunrise and after sunset, can help you create more beautiful shots and videos.

Experiment with these different times to see what you can come up with—the realme 8’s cameras can expertly handle these various lighting scenarios.

5. Play around with various creative modes

While you can point and shoot with the realme 8’s camera, the built-in camera app also has different portrait modes you can try to produce even more creative shots.

The special portrait modes include AI Color, Dynamic Bokeh, Neon Portrait, and AI Portrait, which you should play around with to see which ones pop out and catch your followers’ eye on their feeds.

There’s no photography need the realme 8 can’t handle — it’s a great partner for mobile content creation as it packs a lot of great features at a solid price.

Capture infinity and start creating your best content yet for the whole world to see. Available in Cyber Black and Cyber Silver, get the realme 8 for only PhP 13,990 via realme’s official flagship store in Lazada and in over 500 realme stores and over 4,000 partner dealers nationwide.

4 reasons to buy an ultra-short-throw projector

07/23/2021

It’s been a good while since most of us have seen movies in theaters. But with the rise of streaming and online-exclusive titles, people have adapted to watching in the comfort of their own homes with their own entertainment systems.

But, of course, there’s nothing like watching on a big screen and TVs can only get so big before getting too expensive. Luckily, it’s now easier to replicate this experience with projectors.

What is an ultra-short-throw projector?

An ultra-short throw projector is essentially just a projector that doesn’t need to be positioned far away from the screen or wall.

Unlike traditional projectors, ultra-short-throw projectors, or USTs, need to be just a couple of inches away from the wall or surface. Current USTs on the market can throw images up to 100 inches or more. They can also commonly handle up to 4K resolution.

With that quick explanation out of the way, let’s get into why it’s worth investing in an ultra-short-throw projector.

Great for small spaces

Quite obviously, one of the major appeals of having an ultra-short-throw is that you won’t need a large space like a traditional projector. Some models are able to project less with a distance of fewer than 12 inches.

And most projectors themselves aren’t that large either so it’s easy to place on a table or countertop. It’s a great alternative if you don’t have space for a big TV or if you move around a lot.

Bigger and brighter images

One reason you would choose a projector over a TV would be for the extra screen real estate. And that’s true even for these small ultra-short-throw projectors.

As mentioned earlier, images can be projected up to 100 inches or more so you can switch up your viewing experience each time. It’s also easier to recreate that movie theater vibe with a larger screen size and bright images. USTs are also able to eliminate glare and shadows and make use of lasers to provide high-quality images with accurate color.

Portability and versatility

The hybrid lifestyle is here to stay. Whether it’s working from home or remote meetings with the team, having devices that can accommodate this way of life has become important.

Ultra-short-throw projectors are great for those who need portability and versatility without sacrificing functionality.

You can display your work tasks, extend your PC’s screen real estate, or mirror your device for work. When that’s done, easily switch over and use your ultra-short-throw projector for gaming or watching.

Smart features

We’re in the era where almost everything is equipped with smart features — ultra-short-throw projectors included.

So if you’re a user who enjoys the convenience of having integrated devices, there are projectors that are equipped to handle just that. You can just as easily access and command your virtual assistant just like smart TVs and access different connection options like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or even NFC.

Why we’re eyeing this specific UST projector

If you haven’t heard of ultra-short-throw projectors, it may be because they haven’t saturated the market just yet. Reputable brands have already released their own models but at prices that may be a little out of reach for some.

Enter the JMGO O1 and the JMGO O1 Pro. This crowd-funded smart, ultra-short-throw projector is currently being offered at an early bird price of just US$ 699 (approx. PhP 35K) and US$ 949 (approx. PhP48K) for the O1 and O1 Pro, respectively.

And it not only does everything we already mentioned above but it’s also co-engineered with world-renowned camera and lens manufacturer, Leica, to ensure good picture quality.

It’s able to project from 70 to 110 inches and can be placed just 9 inches away from the projection surface. It also supports a resolution of up to Full HD with 4K compatibility.

The JMGO O1 series also has a bunch of other premium features including Dynaudio cinematic sound, auto keystone correction, eye protection technology, smart features, gesture controls, and more.

With a complete set of ports including a LAN port, you can use it with almost any device in almost any situation — all for less than than the current prices of ultra-short-throw projectors in the market

The crowdfunding campaign has already ended but you can still purchase a unit through Indiegogo.
