How Do Visual Effects Actually Get Filmed? | Technique Breakdown With Jaron Presant, ASC 

Love this channel so much information that I take away every episode! Ted where is the indy mogul MERCH!? I need a hat and t shirt lol

That was 2 years of photography classes in 17 min.

Good lord. This is why you start by wrapping cables kids lol

Using a giant green light to serve as a green screen that can double as a giant light source? That's brilliant.

Uh, lighting ratios? Boy. I've never felt more like a beginner than with this video.

It's always amazing the amount of people, technology, knowledge and sets with complicated setups that are needed to make this blockbuster movies, that at the end of the day I will never watch

Adding grain to increase the perceived focus was a crazy tip. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you guys!!

Really interesting to hear a DP who brings his own LUT to a project.

The best Indy mogul interview. Please do more of these kind.

Glad he clarified that little detail at 3:06, not really something that sounds normal when you say it out loud to people casually haha.

The DP episodes are so good!! Keep 'em coming

Wow. I learned something. That’s becoming more rare for me. So thank you thank you thank you

Love these interviews and breakdowns!

Can we get gerald undone to breakdown how film grain actually makes us perceive an image as being sharper?

I love how Ted was as confused as I was at certain points! Very insightful haha

Holy jamoley. So many high-end techniques in one episode. Jaron is an incredible talent and a fantastic guy to hang out with. Go give him some love on his website. For the full discussion, check out the podcast. Also thank you to Storyblocks, go give them some love! www.storyblocks.com/indymogul

Loved this Ted! 🔥

I was using the same "sharpening with grain" technique back in the days I was shooting on my 7D.. haha

for a common person like myself who's not a nerd about this stuff nor a student of film school, I actually understood the terms and the whole vid and everything, yes it took me close to 30min of rewinding and listening back, but HEY! I got it :D I actually learned smth new and it was enjoyable. Jaron is amazing humble guy, am sure working with him is so much fun and mind-opening. Am gonna check the podcast for sure. Ted, thank you for your thoughtful small table explanation for every nerdy term, as to be honest without them i would've been lost, but you made it easier for non pro like myself to watch and feel connected. Also your lil fast-forward scenes whenever Jaron is drawing smth HELLLLOOOW! is smart and genius, it was sooo smooth. Oh and I luv your voice tone, so sexy, i could listen to a broadcast of yours for hours! (gotta add my giry touch hihi) I hope people realize how crazy big value here that they can get such detailed input from a field expert on youtube for FREE! To sum it up, this was an eye-opener, and my first vid, but surely isn't gonna be the last one, and you got yourself a new sub :) Keep the beautiful work. Bless you. Peace.

Okaaay... this was mindblowing (cue FX). I had to rewind so many times because there was so much information to take in. Jason deserves a part 2, if you can get him on the show again.

MAN, I loved this breakdown! Great stuff.

Fantastic information. Love the channel. It’s also the best video/podcast combo out there.

Amazing insight, would love to hear more about VFX work and how it influences working on the set :)

These interviews have been amazing, although to be fair Indy Mogul has always been amazing.

This guy knows his craft, best interview on the channel

Just watched Rampage again recently. Awesome breakdown, thanks guys!

nice work never thought about lighting like that

This is the most informative video you've had yet.

More of these industry professional secrets. This was amazing.

this is invaluable knowledge share. thank you so much indy!

Love these videos so much!

Thank you for introducing me to Mr. Presant. He seems like a wonderful man with a lot to teach.

Good video, thank you for sharing your knowledge

It makes life sooo much easier for VFX if things are prepared in advance, I have done countless jobs where the VFX are an after thought. Although it is much more satisfying solving those problems.

Best video you have offered

So great to listen to Jason Presant.

This was amazing to watch. Even tho I didn't understand much of what was being said, it was really informative.

All that good info is delicious. Please make more of these. Thank you!!!

Who’s more concerned about the uncapped blue sharpie that’s on the ground?!??

These interviews, like this and the guy that did 300, are better than the best in depth cinematography break downs. Real shooters really showing and telling real secrets. This makes the third life of indymogul a real indymogul experience. Beck gave us great DIY fx and prop techniques, Griffin launched a generation of competant and knowledgeable videographers, and these interviews are giving us proper blockbuster knowledge and techniques. Thank you for bringing us this, bring us more, #teamgodox

Well done!

Dude that was a good interview very interesting

This was GREAT!!!!!!

Great behind the scenes video

Tedd! Loved the this episode! Any ideas how we can go about building a film simulation LUT? Thank you!

And....subscribed👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Bring him back; I like how he explains things!

Wow... wow... more wow! That was fantastic! So much to see and learned from this collaboration! THANK YOU JARON!! Whatever you two do in life, NEVER try to become a Storyboard artist ;)

insightful!

This info terrified me! That’s a lot of info to handle! Thanks though Indy!

Very interesting ! The next time you interviewed a cinematographer who worked on 3Ds movies (stereoscopic), could you ask him how he integrates this parameter into his work (be it shot natively in 3D or in conversion) ? Thank you

Oh my god @1:03 I was in that prod doing sound YEARS ago haha! Shout out to Simon from DSLR! :D

Please invite more people from professional film productions. This video was super informative

soooo much goes into production

Super Dope

I would love to work with you. I've gotten SO many plates that just used NO thought to lighting and it's on VFX to make it look good.

I love this video. As much as I am not a fan of diaster movies (Also I feel bad for Dwayne Johnson that he is always casted in those movies) it was interesting to hear about how some things were done that could be used in, being a bit blunt and harsh, a better story driven movie besides those disaster movies (I lump any diaster or apolitic movie in that excluding space ones).

One good thing about green is that it's opposite skin tone...so spill is very easy to remove without affecting the image.

that's insane how much is involved with just one shot

Are proxy sets rotoscoped, or can gray be keyed relatively easily nowadays? Or is it not really gray, but retroreflective with a green light ring around the camera or something of the sort?

I give up, I'm going back to Business school!

Good video but at 4:10 there's a problem...Jurassic Park was definitely not shot anamorphically.

😮 😯 😲 Wow wow wow

less than 1 second in JAMES (TheSimSupply) IS THAT YOU!!!!

crazy....

5th comment🤩 love from 🇮🇳

0:47 The Tale of the Disappearing Notebook

Do you plan to make a movie eventually? Or maybe work on one as a cinematographer.

I feel like Ted is like brock from pokemon, you know the reason why - -

I added the 1000th like

This is just insane to watch..

8:23 - 6-axis gimbal? Anyone got any info on that?

Abed is doing great in LA.

You need to get Roger Deakins

15:51 RIP pen

lol, i though i was a moviemaker. look at the gears, the thoughts, the crews and the ideas...

🤤🤤🙏 Finally vfx

You put sources for every single clip, EXCEPT FOR THE DAMNED MOVIE!!! Which one is it?

...I have so much to learn...

Is it me or does the audio sound like someone pushed the noise reduction a bit hard?

3:05 cmonBruh chu say

First!!! #mozambique

The importance of Blocking a scene in cinematography .

What was the deal with what he was saying about film grain? You kind of just summarized it by him saying it gives and "organic feel" but he seemed to be arguing that film grain actually decreased it naturalness by introducing sharpness.

This was very informative and helped me. However, how was this INDY? Nothing about this was “indie”?

Jesus christ that was insane

Fascinating. Also I have no idea how you're supposed to act with barely anything real in the scene with you. Crazy.

First!!!

9:45 nobody: I don’t see what you meant,,,

The word you're looking for with grain is dithering.

Arnold

Buy a whiteboard!

80 OR 120 SKYPANELS..... THAT IS $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

You know it’s a high budget set when their green screen is blue

Hating on that Tom Antos short film lol

saw the andrew's sun there. amazing. i remember i made the complete sun from that tutorial too. . . thanks for the info man. we need more videos like this in youtube. not videos about pewdiepie playing mincraft

Its kind of crazy of much money gets spend on these things. Its almost not filmmaking. Its like creating a huge sports event for like 2 hours that most people wont remember after 1 year.

I'm fast

all I heard was we hung blacks ....

3:05 - "And then we hung blacks ...". Glad he clarified that later.
