I have always been someone who has done stuff with a camera and has made hundreds of videos but could not convey a personality. Now that I'm a professional videographer and just graduated college with a Associates in Photojournalism, I'm giving making videos of myself another go! Vlogs, Behind the Scenes Videography, Tutorials-you name it! Watch my struggles and successes as a filmmaker, photographer, and artist.
I LOVE THE PROCESS! Photography, Filmmaking, How stuff is done.
Now I make videos that show you how to make the most of everyday life through photography and video, just by being a bit creative!
Let me know what kind of creative stuff you're into, and we'll talk soon.
Love the tips. At what point would you transition from free to paid? I like the concept of free first, full price in the future rather than discounting
Do one small project for a company you want to work for, make that small project the best you can impress them. Then from that you can pitch them, a monthly retainer, the same type of video or a bigger. If they don’t go for it then you can take the video you made for free to their competitors.
Thanks for the reply! Me and my team “HemFilms” made this video. We gave the rights to WithATwist media to post. Thanks for watching, any other questions ?
I feel like differentiating the usage between top handles, gimbals, and hand held also depends on what your using it for. Adding the mobility of movement into your shots really changes the personality that shot has. I’d use the gimbal for the construction videos, because it removes your personal movements away from the video and moving the focus more on to the environment. Versus filming a performance, I’d use a top handle to get more dynamic movement and add that tiny bit of human mobility into the mix.
Great. Your Content is fantastic, But your video optimization section area is not perfectly up to date. Out of 100 that’s score 0, That’s why your video is not reaching out to people, and you have very few subscribers, views , likes, watch time and comments. I think your RU-vid channel will make your dream come true. Can I talk with you?
Ya baby! I own an original copy. I've had it since the 80's. It pony's on a sony alpha now. You can do cine mods etc. if you think that's your thing. It is super sharp in center, flaring has to be controlled, the swirl takes some practice but it is solid kit! My focus ring is a bit wonky now so pulling is an art but it still works with practice. The aperture ring is tricky, also takes practice cause your filter kit is gonny interfere definitely...unless you do a cine mod.
Fact: I was playing with low light last night with a zihyun mc 20 and slo mo with this lens on my my alpha...got some great plasma shots! just sayin. Edit: forgot to mention the candle.@@WithATwist
Vintage lenses look interesting but they aren't sharp. They can work for some content but don't use them with fast moving subjects especially in low light
Kind of a blanket statement, not always the case. Many of them are quite sharp. In a lot of cases though they don't have modern coatings so they like contrast or are more susceptible to flare.
I dont get why people like this look. Its got a milky white film over everything, looks super soft, and the edges are extremely distorted. Looks like a toy camera with a plastic lens that you might find in a cereal box or a Mcdonalds kids meal toy. The swirly bokeh is distracting. I gotta say, I do like character, but these are just flawed lenses. Cine lenses have character but are also prestine. There's a reason they cost 25k. But this is just my opinion, art is art.
the new hip thing is the old filmic look. i personally dont think it works for documentaries/corporate videos but to each their own. i personally would rely on AF for run and gun stuff. we dont have luxury of reshooting real life since like u said in movies they use MF because they have rehearsed distances and have known positions where actors are gonna stand with dedicated focus pullers. im too poor to have a friend run around with me pulling focus while filming .
You do have a valid point, but sometimes when things get too pristine and flawless, we get too used to seeing it and its nice to just turn back and enjoy those flaws and imperfections. It's why some of us wear mechanical watches over smartwatches, listen to vinyl records, use film cameras, drive manual sports cars, etc. What's old is new again. I'm not saying it's for everyone, but I feel like it's a cycle and we'll probably past through this phase and then there will be something else that becomes trendy (again)
@@mikes978 again its someones own personal artistic takes on stuff right? i might find it kinda weird or impractical but others might like it. but overall i feel like having an over sharpen imagine is way more versatile than an already dreamy/soft imagine. you can always add filters to add haze and what not to soften it but you cant do the same in reverse.
@@xxichikokoxx I was replying to DailyRiot. I do agree with you, definitely wouldn't use it on corporate videos, I think it could work on broll in documentaries or in flashbacks, but I wouldn't do the interview portion with it, but yeah like I said it's not for everyone. It is art and art is subjective. Everyone is different
The future of filmmaking and videography will rely solely on AI, and cameras and lenses will be left behind and forgotten. You should learn the tools of the future if you want to stay on the top levels of filmmaking capability.
I'm a film maker and award winning artist and I think you are right. But I think that reality you are talking about is not that close yet. And all artists will simply transition then if they don't want to die from hunger or work a normal work.
In the dynamic realm of videography, the question of whether the lens holds more significance than the camera itself remains a subject of ongoing debate. While both components are integral to the creation of high-quality videos, each plays a distinct role in shaping the final outcome. In assessing their importance, it becomes evident that the lens and camera are complementary entities, with their respective strengths and limitations contributing to the overall visual narrative. First and foremost, the camera serves as the foundational apparatus that captures the visual content. It encompasses crucial aspects such as sensor size, resolution, and image processing capabilities, all of which directly influence the clarity, detail, and overall technical quality of the footage. A high-quality camera can provide superior image fidelity, allowing for sharper details, richer colors, and better low-light performance. Advanced features such as high frame rates and dynamic range expand creative possibilities, enabling videographers to capture stunning visuals in various environments and conditions. However, even the most advanced camera can only do so much without a quality lens. The lens acts as the gateway through which light enters the camera, directly impacting factors such as depth of field, focal length, and optical clarity. A well-crafted lens can enhance the visual aesthetics of a video by offering precise control over focus, perspective, and background blur. Different types of lenses, such as wide-angle, telephoto, and prime lenses, provide distinct visual effects, allowing videographers to convey their creative vision with versatility and precision. Moreover, the lens plays a crucial role in determining the overall look and feel of the video. Factors such as lens distortion, bokeh quality, and chromatic aberration contribute to the unique character of each shot, influencing the viewer's perception and emotional engagement. A carefully selected lens can imbue the footage with a cinematic quality, drawing the audience into the narrative and evoking powerful emotions. Whether capturing sweeping landscapes, intimate portraits, or fast-paced action sequences, the choice of lens can significantly impact the storytelling potential of the video. In practical terms, the importance of the lens versus the camera often depends on the specific requirements of the project and the creative vision of the videographer. While a high-quality camera lays the foundation for technical excellence, it is the lens that imbues the footage with personality and style. In many cases, investing in premium lenses can yield significant improvements in image quality and visual impact, even when using a modest camera body. Conversely, pairing a top-of-the-line camera with subpar lenses may result in underwhelming results, as the optical limitations of the lens can undermine the capabilities of the camera. Ultimately, the debate between the lens and the camera is not one of superiority but rather of synergy. Both components are essential pieces of the videographer's toolkit, each contributing its unique strengths to the creative process. By understanding the capabilities and limitations of both lenses and cameras, videographers can make informed decisions that align with their artistic vision and project requirements. Whether prioritizing technical precision or artistic expression, striking the right balance between the lens and the camera is key to achieving compelling and visually captivating videos.
I crashed my drone a few times, every time thought it was it for the drone, but I just bought new propellers for it and it was good as new. I have a DJI Air 2s btw.
Wait i had no clue you did this kind of stuff, this is actually amazing, awesome editing, great advice, and you seem to be really professional, what a goat 🔥
