Cinematic Film Look on a DSLR 

1. changes the white balance to daylight 2. blocks off all daylight and replaces it with artificial light

dude, you have covered in 5 minutes all the essentials in visuals. you ma man, are the baaauusss

Hey RU-vid, couldn't you recommend me this amazing video sooner?

As a beginner trying to figure out how to correctly film in a cinematic sense, this video helped me SO MUCH. About to binge watch all your vids lol

your consistency for producing great videos is amazing

I'm always impressed with the image quality you are able to pull off with that T3i. Great job Simon!

This was very well done. Lots of typically misunderstood information delivered in a very simple, easy to comprehend manner. Takes a lot of planning to explain as much as you did in a matter of minutes, not to mention- do it well. Thanks for the time and energy you put into making this.

dude, you deserve way more than what you have! You are amazing.

The apple-bite foley made for a powerful effect at the end. Was thinking to myself, "Well, we can't see him, so I wonder if he's gonna-- oh'p, yep, there it is."

You have a talent for coming back around to the point of it all in your videos.

The first video I've seen of yours and it is by far the best display of how to shoot video step by step. Brilliant work! Liked + subscribed!

WTF! I just learned more than ever in less than 5 minutes. Thank you man!

Great video, this will definitely come in handy for us. Got to say, getting good shots isn't exactly easy, but I think this will help us improve ours vids in the future. Thanks for the tips!

your channel is awesome, thanks for the great tips!

this channel is honestly super amazing and your technique has helped me to become the best student in my film class :) Now im teaching the entire class about cinematography and i feel extremely thankful that i found you!!! :))) keep up the amazing work.

to dope, real information, and direct solutions. I'm so happy on finding your chanel.

There one more very important aspect: The Location! It makes a huge difference and can enhance your lighting and composition

I love your videos so much. There are many tutorial for filmmaking, but yours are the best!! Thank you so much for sharing with us. I will watch every single videos!

Of all the various video DSLR how-to videos, I've found your series to be the most informative and easiest to understand for beginners like myself. You're doing a great job!

This is the most helpful video you have ever done, covers most things and is super straight to the point!

I love when you do the technical stuff like this. Liked the "phantom apple," too.

You know you are a f*cking genius right? You are honestly one of the most TALENTED people i've EVER seen on RU-vid! NICE WORK CADE!

Thank you so much Simon! You are a genius. This is so helpful. U are my favorite RU-vidr! Such a help and an inspiration !!

You are awesome at making tutorials without any extra fluff. All the information needed is stated clearly and succintly, and no extra stuff like a try-hard personality or "HEY GUYS, SO WHAT IM GONNA DO IS THE THING IN MY VIDEO" Keep up the good work!

I really liked the video, I'm studying cinema direction and this is a piece of what we're talking of, but all spins around this and a few more elements, it's impressive. It REALLY IS.

The DIY bedsheet bounce sounds like a dance move.

Been watching your videos for the past few days and I've got to say, these videos are so helpful to beginners like me with no experience with filming or haven't gone to film school. Thank you so much for these awesome videos!

This is incredible! I love how you've incorporated something that takes most film teachers hours to explain into a tiny 5 minute segment. Very well done!

you resumed the vital aspects so well. really like it.

Stumbled upon this in an attempt to refine grading and I must say, very well done. One of the best videos I've seen in terms of detail and feel. Keep it up!

This one is purely amazing. Will constantly come back and rewatch this one for reference!

The commentary was amazing, so thorough and simple to take in. Thank you!

YOU are a master my friend! Thank you for such great presentation and training video!

holy crap, this is such a helpful video. Thank you, man.

30-40 year old first time filmmakers here and have been watching since using cell phones in 2013. You're channel alone has contributed to likely 50% of where we're at so far. Thanks for these. 1:47 - 1:53... just stuff like this. Simply put. Important. Not over complicating it. Great channel

Out of all your videos I've watched today I think this one was one of the best because it shows that with a little effort, using the same equipment, you can go from amateur looking video to professional looking video. Great job, really enjoying your stuff.

Wow this is really helpful, I've tried to find somewhere that can explain how to properly use a DSLR for video and just given up. But this has made it really clear thanks :)

that was seriously a 10/10 video

Thank you SO MUCH for making this! I've recently bought a t5i and this improved my footage a TON! Keep up the great work!

very well done... propably one of the best videos about gerneral dslr cinematography out there! especially like how you finish up with showing 'the whole picture' of filmmaking

White balance is a miracle. :) Almost hitting the deserved 100k mate. Well done! :D

You honestly are super inspiring, I love your videos.. They help me a lot and give me great ideas. Thank you. :)

I just found your videos the other day & I can't stop watching them. Keep up the great work, I'm learning so much from them. Thanks!

MAN.. YOUR CHANNEL IS AWESOME. You explain everything so well, and provide clear examples... I've learned quite a bit.

I LOOOOOVE YOUR CHANNEL SO MUCH

I've learned a lot from your channel and it really shows in my videos, Also you should do a q&a

This is an excellent video! After watching some many videos trying to explain this your use of visual and very explanation was by far the best.

Your channel is one of the most inspiring channels on RU-vid. I've learned so much from you. Thank you.

Awesome video. Learning has occurred. Thank you!

Thanks for this! Just got the VisionColor profile installed on my T3i. Hopefully this makes me color grading experience easier. haha

One of the best tutorials for DSLR filming for those looking to get into it. Wish I found this video when I started filming 2 years ago. Nice job mate.

I had to stop watching midway to tell you that I absolutely appreciate how you clearly put effort in even the simplest tutorial videos. Mad respect.

Very good .... I will be watching a lot more of your videos, for sure !

This was insanely inspirational and helpful :)))

Awesome work with your channel, it's a huge learning tool and inspiration. I think you've really got something special going on. Keep up the great work dude

Bro!! This is such an informative video on everything I've searched combined! Thank you so much for this!!

Thanks for this video, Great Tips.

All great tips (as usual)

Your channel is AWESOME. Thanks for consistently putting out such amazing content on filmmaking!

You blew me away with this tutorial, I never thought such images were possible on any rebel series, this is amazing. I have the SL2 but whenever I shoot video in it I always left wanting more with the results.

Dude, Thanks for the subtitles in Spanish! It's very helpful!

Thank you so much from South America It`s easy to understand Yeah!!

WOW! What an incredible transformation to watch. I hadn't learned about blocking a light source and bouncing it. Thank you so much and keep on adding value to world!

i absolutely enjoy these videos man. they've really helped me out a lot with filming. and i just got started. thanks!

Probably the most useful "How to" for the cinematic look that I've seen :]

This is a pretty good video. Shows that filming isn't that easy.

I think it's amazing how much you've done at such a young age! Keep up the great work!

You are just so amazing my friend. I am going to buy a DSLR soon within 2 months and I am stunned by possibilities that you have exposed to me. Thank you so much for so grateful with your knowledge. :)

First - you set up white balance and THEN you set up your lights?

I found myself humming the music in the background after I watched the video. Any chance you are thinking of releasing some of the tracks you write for DSLR Guide? Also, you mentioned in the video that very flat colour profiles aren't very good for DSLRs like yours. I've got a Nikon D5100, which was the direct competitor to the 600D at the time of it's release. I've been using the flattest profile I could find for my camera, and I've been frustrated by how my camera can't seem to produce video with a lot of sharpness or colour accuracy, even after grading and sharpening. This may be due to my image profile, but I'm not sure. What can I look for in a profile that can maximize the quality of the images that come out of my camera? Love your videos, by the way. They've been invaluable to me for learning about filmmaking!

I never comment on videos, but this was so concise, clear and easy to understand I had to tell you that this video really helped me understand the basics better than my video prof's at art school ever did. Thanks!

This was amazing and so inspiring! I always thought I needed a fancy mirrorless camera

Well I think I found 3kikphillips brother

thumbnail photo showing train station and video all about a man sitting on couch

Literally the best channel. I’m glad I discovered. You get down to business rather than filling your videos full of worthless info. Thank you.

All of your videos are legit. Keep up the good work man!

Anyone here in 2024? This video is so nostalgic!

(chomps internally)

Wow, amazing how much knowledge you managed to convey simply in under 5 minutes. Well done!

I just started watching your vids and i think your doing an amazing job at teaching ppl and giving great tips. Really enjoy all your content. thank you and keep it up!!!

Are you not using magic lantern after all? Also, visioncolor is the way to go indeed.

I see that you forgot to tell them that you used 2.35:1 Anamorphic aspect ratio.

Very concise! The hand-drawn text bubbles at the end, all sprouting out from "Story" is fascinating. Wish I could see that all come together.

Man, all of your videos look like they're from real movie and all those simple tricks really help me a lot as a beginner, thanks.

No hablo inglés pero entiendo muchas cosas. Gracias. Si colocarías subtítulos sería genial.

A quick question. How is there no noise in your video? I have tried to put my ISO to 200 - 400 on my Canon 1100D but it still gets alot of noise. I did do the videos at evening and it was dark outside, so is it because of that?

One of my favorite videos on your channel

Love it! I watched this at work without any sound and I was still able to understand everything. Brilliant!!!!! Thank you very much.

Anyone know where I can download the vision color profile? The vision color website is displaying a "we're working on something big" image on every page, including the download page :(

nice information! and .. dude smile please 😁

I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your videos - very informative and useful.

I just discovered your channel few hours ago and it's already my new favourite

That color grading wasn't too impressive. Perfect tutorial though, all that any beginner should see

Just personal critique - I find that your pictures have too much contrast. But great vid!

I just bought my first camera, and your channel is really helpful! Thank you ☺ Please continue uploading amazing videos!

Thankyou for your work and helping others who want to learn!

and also what does "Flat profile" exactly mean? and what is the difference between the two?

Correcting the color is enough, and the extra officials only feel fake, making

Really good tips for someone like me who is just getting started and wanting to attempt to make something cinematic! Definitely binge watching your videos right now. Just got my first beginner DSLR - Canon t6i.

I've been looking for a video like this everywhere but it is just perfect, snappy and useful. Subbed :)
