I vote yes for more of this!!! 6 gold stars!!!! Video tips AND photo tips mixture would be awesome. DPR got much more informative and less snobby when they they hired the big guns!!!! I vote for trapezoid..........
It's great for you both to move from TCSTV to DP, because can focus on making videos, not only gears review, but valuable tutorials too! Looking forward to your new journey, definitely enjoy more and more good contents.
deepers is perfect - use it - it opens up so many opportunities for connotations, innuendo, strongly implies your audience are people who like in-depth reviews and, if nothing else, rhymes with sneakers
It seems like every channel I watch eventually reaches a popularity level where they start a weekly chat show of some kind and then feeding that beast sucks all the time away from producing the type of content that made them successful in the first place. So, I'm really happy that the move to DP Review has freed them of TCS Live and now they are getting back to high gear. That's not to say anything these guys make isn't worth watching but personally I'd much rather watch this that a random interview.
I'm one who would enjoy seeing more of these, and respect Jordan's experience. I've been shooting stills forever, but my video tends to be less than stellar. Everything from basics onward is welcome! Thanks.
Thanks for this. I have enjoyed taking stills for many years, but I am new to video, and your shutter speed comparisons perfectly showed why it is so important.
They just put all the essential techniques for video in one single tutorial, this is great indeed. With more videos like this everyone will learn much faster. Greetings from Brazil.
Holy shite guys, while I knew all of this, this is just an amazing video! Take it from dude who works in a camera store, you guys nailed this, amazing! Thank you!
The tip on fixed vrs variable ND filters was gold! Never knew that, in learning about video for 5-6 years. That alone makes this episode gold. And, you guys are naturals. Once a week is fine with me, with an occasional gear review thrown in. I do like a slightly slower, more relaxed pace, like the fishing video.
This is great idea guys! Keep the video tutorials coming. I could not find the guidance about shutter speed on Internet when I bought my NEX-5 camera in 2010 and ended up with some weird 1/500s videos. When done with basic parameters it may be worth going to some techniques for shooting video of basic scenes like interview, conversation etc. e.g. to always shoot conversation from one side of the people talking.
This turns equipment investments into profit creating skills. So much more important than equipment riviews. But always looking forward to. both. It's no surprise that DP picked up this team. They were sorely lacking what these guys iffer: personally.. And a wise choice for them to accept. I hope it leads to even greater opportunities for them. But keep it simple please.
Guys, I say you put it into a poll! I vote: exposure quadrangle. It's definitionally correct, and aurally and conceptually closest to "exposure triangle." Plus, I came up with it. :)
You guys flow really well. Lots of info and you don't just love to hear your own voice. Thumbs up. I'm going to look for any Panasonic Vlog stuff you have now.
I did find this video useful. Please make more of these videos that talk about how to make better videos using your digital interchangeable lens camera. Nice job guys.
"Gangsters And Industry Ninjas" LOL! 🤣 I love seeing this kind of content along with the reviews. Great stuff fellas! On gain vs ISO, I come from the audio world and gain in regards to image sensors conceptually makes more sense to me (from a photographer perspective).
Very good. About time some straightforward and straight-talking photography tips, info and tricks. Gives me some of my "MO-JO" to get my camera out and get shooting. Thanks guys and DPReview. Well done. Thanks.
Very good! A lucid, easy-to-understand explanation of the exposure square. Well done, men! I've been photographing for decades, doing video for less than one decade, so this is very helpful!
Very useful and yes defiantly do more of these! A few ideas I have for future videos are: 1) How to use color charts to get accurate color/match two different cameras 2) How to properly expose and edit LOG footage 3) Different video techniques like panning, handheld shots, doing focus pulls, zooming with zoom lenses, using prime lenses 4) Info on Histograms, Waveforms and Vectorscopes and using scopes in editing to get perfect footage 5) How to get proper white balance in camera and correcting the white balance in editing 6) Artificial lighting 7) Video editing tips like adjusting shadows/highlights, sharpening, color editing/grading, noise reduction, syncing audio etc... 8) Audio
Very useful - as a stills photographer I’d love to know how to better use all the video capabilities that have sneaked into the pro cameras. More please...
Guys.. awesome, awesome, awesome, that was great. I don't know anything about video shooting or post-production and I really appreciate you coming from a novice point of view. So more videos about setup and techniques. Explanations about color space, sLog, film wrapers (what ever they are?) 1080p 24,25,30,60 frame rates??? How to render a video what ever the hell that is and does where you start i.e. the quality of the of the video (1080, 4K) effect how you render. Or for that matter how you import the video into the editing S/W. Do you get the idea... you do, right? Anyway thanks from your antipodean friend.
I would like to see next a video about story telling and video making process. I feel like that's such important topic which hasn't been covered enough. Technical information is great and all but I feel like it has been covered by so many people already. Maybe even use one of your videos as an example - what it takes to get the final video to RU-vid?
Best video I've ever watched on DPReview channel! Informative, tight pace, and even has humor in it! I'd love to see more tutorial videos aside from gear reviews from you guys! Hoping someday you could give tips about static and dynamic camera movements.
It's neither a quadrangle nor square. It's a diamond. Thanks for the great video. As a suggestion to future videos, I would like to see the subject of video dynamic range and highlight roll-off. This video that you just shot shows the problems with filming in harsh lighting conditions. What can be done to mitigate blowing out highlights in harsh lighting conditions and which cameras have greater dynamic range to help prevent blown highlights? It's something I wrestle with all the time shooting wildlife out-of-doors. I would love to get Jordan's take on this (No offense to you Chris) and learn some tricks of the trade.
People should watch this on a 4k screen. Every frame is adorable. Re the F stop definition, almost all lenses have additional lenses in front of the aperture blades, this changes the diameter value used in creating the F stop. It is not the physical size of the aperture blades, but the apparent size which has been modified by other lenses. It is the size the blade diameter *appears* to be to light entering the lens.
Really interesting stuff! Thanks guys! I´d love to see a complete behind the scenes of the making of an episode. With all the practical steps, preparation work, all the intricacies, lighting, sound, you guy´s comments about what you´re just doing and why you´re doing it and on and on and on..... right to the process of editing and uploading! I´m a curious person, right? It really intrigues me, I think it´s the fastest way to learn for photographers who want to get into the video side of things.
Nice!! Looking forward to more down-to-earth stuff on shooting quality video with basic gear. Generally there are just too many options to choose from. Simplifying for me is the magic word. Thanks!
Tutorial request...settings and techniques to minimize movement blur when using a slider besides slow motion. Thanks in advance and keep up the awesome work!
This is one nice video of you for filmaking or videography call it as you wish and the sense of video motion or call it effect or natural blur or natural movement is the most important thing.. and you achieve this with shutter speed 1/48 at 24fps and ever slower.. and something else important in daylight you use higher iso and in low light you use lower iso values and you are adding your lighting equipment in this case.
OMG I love these videos so much. Very well done, I learned a lot in a short time without feeling like I was in a lecture, and it's entertaining. Keep it up.
Also I don't know if it applies to cameras enough to fit the series but I'd like to see Jordan's basic video editing workflow. Not specifics on using an editing tool, but how to keep clips organized, do you assemble the raw clips in order then apply color and audio profiles, etc. Something simple so photographers can put together easy 3-5 video clips without looking like it was assembled by a millennial on a cellphone but also so it doesn't take 4 weeks to edit 5 mins of basic content.
Really looking forward to this tutorial series now that I'm just trying to get into video. Wishlist: - audio - shooting techniques and transitions styles - editing software and basic tutorial Long live the trapezoid!!!
Very informative 10 min. tutorial. If it were presented in a non-interesting and boring way, I would have stopped at the 2 min. mark. More of these type of videos.
