I still remember this was the first ever video i got recommend by RU-vid in 2018....from then on i just found this to be one of the best videography channel...!!
This was a great episode!! I would love to see you guys doing some more videos like this. Learning software is essential and you guys are great at showing us the tricks. I think you could show some great DIY tricks with the same fun.
I love DIY and tricks to get the move you are looking for etc. I love your old videos where you show creative ways to use tripods etc. Jordy, I remember a long time ago on a video when I asked you what DIY ment. I had never heard about it before. I have used cardboard under my tripod to make it into a slider/ dolly and I'm still using that technique sometimes. I have also used those smooth cotton things you have under chairs so you don't scratch up the floor. It works really well :-)
It's really not stupid !!! These are the brightest ideas I've come across !!! I'm definitely going to use one of these methods !!! Huge thanks to you !!!!!!!!
Thank you Jordy! DIY is what got me into checking youtube a few years ago. DIY should never stop. Even Hollywood movie makers use DIY. Creating and using DIY is like excersice to creativity. Gracias!
these are actually some pretty great DIY techniques apart from the microphone holder that doesn't really work for a shotgun it kind of works for normal microphone although it will mess up the polar pattern.
I am all about DIY and micro Budget film making what other Film making hacks do you guys have? My Favorite is using a Starbucks cup sleeve to use as a lens hood
I'm using that sun hood hack! When we were filming screen tests the other day I could barely tell if my actors were even in focus it was so bright! That is gonna be soooooooo useful!!
Back in 2009 when I started to get into videography, sliders, steadicams, etc were sooo expensive and lot of us low budget film makers would try DIY gear. Now in 2020 sliders and gimbals aren't expensive. Easy to acquire
Hahahha, the cardboard focus ring is so cheesy! So cheesy it just might work! I really love cardboard for all sorts of projects. You gotta get a glue gun. I’ve done the soft box thing with a clamp light and LED, but I got more elaborate and added cardboard barn doors. I was going to add a gel frame older (with cardboard gel frames), but I realized the project was getting ridiculous. I was also thinking about adding a cardboard egg crate (the grid you sometimes see on a soft box, soft light, or zip light). Cookies (cucaloris, sometimes called a gobo in the still photography world) are a topic worthy of their own video. For foliage, you’re better off using a thin piece of plywood (such as luan) or masonite. Cut out the shapes with a jigsaw. Cucaloris designs can get quite intricate and beautiful; worth doing a google image search to see the wide variety. Making a wood cookie is considered a rite of passage among some grips. Attach the cookie to a metal rod for mounting it on a c-stand. That will give you the most positioning options quickly. Incidentally, I don’t think the keyhole (or whatever type of cutout) placed in front of the lens is called a cucaloris. I believe it’s called a matte, but I’m not entirely sure. Like a keyhole matte, or w/e. I’m not 100% sure on this, but I don’t think it matters because almost everyone will be better off doing this in post. The only time I can imagine using it would be some bizarre challenge when you’re required to edit “in camera”. (How we did it with VHS camcorders when I was a kid. You babies don’t know how easy you got it!”)
honestly i really like this kind of video. It gave me a lot of inspiration how to work around the not existing camera and filming equipment for good effects with low budget
Jordy: "DIY film making should come back! what do you think guys. Me: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
guys i am certainly not the first one to tell you that, but i am sure that. if yoou keep doing this, i won't be the last one to tell that you are amazing. and i do really feel inspired. thank you and be blessed
It may look kinda cheesy or weird but it works well. Plus an easy way to help cheap things look better is to paint it, cover it with colorful tape, or both.
