The greatest takeaway from this video: "Make stuff you like" Everyone is chasing views and clicks. I make stuff I want to see and I could not care less if anyone else likes it. I am also not arrogant enough to think I have the market cornered on what I like and there will be someone somewhere that will get what I produce and enjoy it. That's who I care about, not those critics that don't like what I do.
Pretty much. I used to care but then lost myself and my own art style in the process. So am starting over with zero f’s given about engagement. At least I’m happy with what I’m making
Hey, just to point out that there is a mistake in the video when you said the aperture of the lens you'll keep it on F3.5 - with this lens if you don't keep the same 18mm all the time then the aperture will change, therefore everything else must be adjusted to have the same exposure.
i love y’all’s content man, it’s helped me being self taught, but for talking videos like this i would recommend a pop filter on you microphone, your “s” sounds dig through my head when i wear earbuds.
Wow, this video was made for me, I've done so many course and learned so much in the past 6 years but I never started filmmaking, cause of the gerar I have I think it's never good enough. And I end up always leaving for later.
There is a lot of great information here. I remember when the first DSLRs and such came out, you only had standard profiles and 1080p. Then eventually fake log profiles came out for cams like the 5D series... or you had an option to pay for a new firmware that included a basic log (Clog 1 for the 5D IV) but even then the log was very basic and the codecs were terrible. Now we have things like Clog3 available on cams like the R6 II, with crispy full frame oversampled 4k and even full frame oversampled 4k 60 and people still aren't happy and complain there is no Clog2 or whatever. I think if you can't make an amazing video with a setup like this, then you as the creator are the problem.
Great tips! And you're totally right - it doesn't matter what gear you have. What matters is the idea and this thing you want to share with people who watch your videos.
i would say 25% gear, 75% skill, because gear does matter somewhat, a 320p or 720p camera won’t cut it. plus having a big camera rig as a 16 year old has gotten me many clients.
Colorizing and then transferring your clips to Premier doesn't make your work 10 times slower? 😅 What happens if later you want to reduce the grain or adjust the temperature... Another render?
Feels like this is getting back to OG FTF. Gear doesn’t matter, principles of filmmaking and practice do. Landon could not have pulled this off if he just watched some videos here and there on how to do it. He has put in the hours, and it shows. For him it doesn’t matter what the camera is because his SKILLS are there. That’s what FTF does for you! If you don’t have it already go get it today, why not now?
Very nice Video...thank you for doing it, it will help me a lot. By the way, I am a 14 (nearly 15) years old beginner videographer from germany and like your videos that much...thay helped me out in the past a lot. And I am a, quite good videographer I guess for the while that I am filming now, but I am kinda like to stupid to think of any kind of an interesting nice and quick storie. Have a tip?
