Beginner with $10,000+ LIGHTS vs PRO with ZERO Lights 

Nice stuff. I also wanted to see pro with lighting in the end.

Let’s try PRO vs Beginner BRoll next!

Next competition: "Beginner with EXPENSIVE GIMBALS and SLIDERS vs PRO HANDHELD!"

Next: *_Pro with kit lens vs Beginner with many expensive lenses._* *_I think both should do it on an APSC mirrorless camera.. such as the Sony a6500 or the Canon M50._*

I really enjoy your film making content, Parker. You have a real gift in explaining and articulating your tutorials and have been a true inspiration in my stepping up my production value on my channel! Thank you for all you guys do and your great tips!

Keep making the beginner vs pro series please, they're so so good and useful!!

The pro should have been able to used at least a reflector or something that can bounced light.

Man this guy Parker is on a new level. He spots everything lol. Also wearing a white shirt to create dimensions is a smooth tip i didn't thought about

Some ideas! Pro with kit lens vs Beginner with unlimited lens choices. Pro with cheap/small drone (like the DJI Spark) vs Beginner with expensive drone (like the DJI Inspire 2). Pro with no SFX website library use (has to make own SFX to include in their video) vs Beginner with unlimited SFX website library (like Musicbed, Soundstripe, etc.). Pro only handheld vs Beginner with unlimited gimbals/stabilizers/sliders. Pro with no audio recorder/mic vs Beginner with unlimited audio.

On Jake's skit, perhaps a simple fix would have been to have the two actors trade sides, putting Landon with the lighter shirt on the side where the background is darker.

No one's talking about how good their acting is

I just want to point out that shot from Parker looks incredible. Lighting, angle, CC/CG, etc

quality content as always guys. I always learn some new little details about the subject. That's why I keep coming back. Cheers!

Whoever threw that tumbleweed and caught that light must have some mad skills

Josh is such a great addition! So cool to see a beginner learning, it's so accessible and really inviting to try some techniques with what we already have. Thank you!

I love these videos, great way to show how far knowledge goes.

Loving this series guys!

Parker's critique of the comparison had a lot of good tips & things to keep in mind on any shoot ...

You guys are all GREAT! I really enjoy this series you learn a TON. I think what I enjoyed most is the message behind this. To me on the beginner side letting Josh explain his decisions as best he could even though he didn't know all of the terminology and or might've stumbled over his words a little was sooo appreciated. To me that's saying there's nothing to be scared of and no need to get everything perfect before you start... you are good enough! At least that's what I got from it! I will be getting started with my youtube video stuff soon as well. I just need a better computer that can handle it or else I would've started already! Thanks for this great watch!

Way to go Josh! I would have psyched myself into failure so it was cool and encouraging to seeing you push through!

Big Big like 👍 from Morocco 🇲🇦

AHHH THE GOOD OLE' DAYS ARE BACK! I LOVE THESE VIDEOS!

Video colour grading: beginner with high end software vs professional with recomended beginner software. Might be the food idea I thought ao

I really enjoy beginner to pro competition. It really shows that it’s within grasp to be able to do these things if you put the effort in.

i actually like the windows footages more. You see more details of the surrounding there instead of just dark edges as it was at some shots. I think this looks more realistic and also familiar and comfortable

Absolutely love this series! So helpful!!! Id love to see Audio next

Loved to see how you guys go head to head using just phones, native app or maybe using Filmic Pro and then editing it. Cheers!

Amazing video guys !! So much value and technique shared !! This idea of comparing a pro with no lights and "beginner" with pro lights is great (as well as the others comparisons you made on the channel). Thank you for your work. You guys are so motivating and uplifting for me !!! William from France 😊

His teeth are brighter than any shot taken in the competition

I'm really loving the beginner vs Pro series💯👌🏾🔥

Maaaan!!! Those videos are so instructive and helpful Thank your so much for all the shared knowledge 🎬🙌🏼

This was awesome! How about for the next one either: Audio Color correcting/Grading Might need a new beginner?

I LOVE THESE SERIES!!!!!!!!!!

Good lighting can even make a phone look good 😁

Definitely love this . Saving up for the course . .. it’s worth every penny .. Great video

Great vids guys. Thanks, amazing tips here. And B-roll done the right way!

Also, I am a FTF member and learn something new every time I study the videos. Thanks for the courses and all the new content and variety that is added all of the time.

Who thought this was the most epic best intro ever!??

lighting design is so important - most beginners just don´t know - you did a great tutorial to start peoples awareness!

Great stuff guys. Been doing lighting for years (though not a pro) and picked up a few great tips such as Rembrandt type lighting, the proper clothes to wear against a background and always filming on the dark side of the subjects. Made some mistakes in the past doing the opposite. Would like to see Pro vs Beginner audio outside when it is windy.

Loved the series

I was waiting for this video

Thanks for the tips!

Next video: Beginner with Expensive GIMALS and SLIDERS vs PRO HANDHELD!!!

Great video!! Lots to be learned in just a few minutes.

That intro 🤣 y'all are hilarious. Respect.

I’m trying to learn lighting myself, it was fun watching an amateurs thought process. I think he did pretty well.

BEST VIDEO ONLINE SCHOOL!!

That first introduction was awesome dude! Nice videos!

Loving this series, guys. It's nice to see Josh's progress too. I love Parker's critique - he really shows you what to look for - and also that you (me) have a lot more to learn LOL. Not that this matters for the specific exercise, but there was continuity issue at 7:54 - the hoodie goes on at abt 7:52, the over the shoulder shot - there's no hoodie. & "btw" Landon should actually hone his acting skills and pursue acting. His has good thoughtful looks behind the eyes at times which is cinematic gold for film.

really enjoy then series.. I don't skip any section, including the ads!

I watch all of your videoes.. Its so high quality... I really love it.

Great video guys!

Parker's back !!!!!

Respect to Josh, he has improved incredibly🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏

Great episode 🙏🏼

Damn.. need to step up my lighting game. This was cool to see.

Loving all the comedy skits!

The topics you put up are quite interesting ones. 👍🏻

Really cool! I just learned about Rembrandt lighting from this (not a filmmaker) and was delighted to learn I’ve inadvertently used it in a very small percentage of my shots 🤗

Haha, love the intro! Awesome serious from real life situations. Keep it up!

These beginner vs pro episodes are such a nice idea because the pros have to use their creativity

This video is great seeing the pro with nothing and seeing the beginner struggle with high quality is good for everyone including him

Yes, I love this series!

Saw that hair at 11:33 :P Great showcase of how to use proper lighting in videos! That's so important

I learnt it. Thanks 😊

More like this please.. We can binge watch these like Netflix

bro im so early bro

Okay. The lighting tips are good, but that skit was hilarious!

That intro skit was way too good!!!

Fabulous video! GoPro Competition!!

Young creative star. Always applying your tips in the field. #ArtWithoutFilmSchool

I want Landon’s face at 8:07 as my phone background

Beautiful work, thank you! I would like to see Film and Digital short film, but not on whats better, but on how different and special each medium is and can be used to compliment the story and the world And how slightly you might want to change the way you shoot (camera movement, acting pace, dialogue style, body language, lighting) depending on how it looks better for that medium and its response

Always informative and so professional...The intro reminded me of a scene in Rango before "he killed the bird with one bullet"....Next challenge camera lenses! wish you could produce such contents weekly...

Nice work Walbeck! Photography is a practical oriented subject and you bring it out in the best way possible...Now do 1080 with a pro vs a 4k with an amateur...once again, good lessons!

the one without extra light is the best. The cuts, acting, lights all looks very engaging

Nice, Thanks Guys!!

Anyone know what light is being used at 04:21 in the shot? I am in the market for a large softbox!

Love these videos. It's slowly helping me get better at filming my art haha. Still have a long ways to go though.

Parker says:"OOO, I am Blinded by the lights!"

I love those guyz acting and chillin on table

Josh gets better and better every video!

Intro was awesome 👌

Love this series.. ❤❤❤❤ ... Next should be gimbal beginner vs pro or handle beginner vs pro or Steadicam beginner vs pro

You know you’re doing something right, when random people (me) that have been watching this channel since its early days, have developed a sense of pride by watching this channel grow into what it is today, that feeling extends to the kid, dude, you can see the hard work he’s done from the first episode of this series to this last one......In the Army, we would tell our Soldiers their doing great by telling them “keep doing what you’re doing” it was way of saying “excellent job but don’t let it get to your head”............so........KEEP DOING WHAT YOU’RE DOING 😂😎

i need more like this

I would love to see pro with low budget audio equipment vs beginner with expensive audio gear. Although you may need to get a new beginner, this guy is getting pretty good, haha. These are some of my favorite videos

The god of capture.... Good stuff sir.

awesome video as always! loved the intro! and this series of beginner vs pro! PS dying to work with you guys :'(

i think both were awesome and definitely cant wait to get my rs2 curious to what focal length that was looks like a 50mm 1.8 and one work around for the opening shot would be dont show it because its blown out definitely couldve just went with the over the shoulder shots but i know this was a comparison and was just showing what was wrong and what could go wrong and most clients would never even notice most of those things so i say great job to both of them they definitely are some of the best ive seen do this

Big fan from India, got lots of information

You guys are awesome 👏

I started my 'film'-journey about half a year ago, got enrolled in the FTF course and excited to say that I've got my first big $ project coming up for a multi-billion $ company!!! Thanks FTF-crew!

Intro was lit🔥🔥😀

Love these segs

This is such helpful info for beginners like me ( :

At 07:51 he puts the hoodie on and 07:53 his hoodie is down and then 07:56 his hoodie is on again, continuation is key folks! hahah even tho i caught this i'm still pretty much an amateur myself. Loving this series and I've been learning a lot through this channel!

thanks for the educational video

awesome video! What are the camera video settings on the 1dxii and what lens was it shot on? Looks so good, I want to try and match it on my 1dxii. thanks!
