Honestly the first time I saw the clip on tiktok I didnt know it was a Levi's ad, love how it just feels like a nice piece of cinematography without pushing the ad right into your face, thanks for the great breakdown as well.
@@theowlfromduolingo7982 a spec job is a “speculative job” in hopes that it will be noticed and paid for. Or it’s also a way of making an idea for a brand in order to be recognized. Nothing wrong with it and he mentions it in his headline, but it’s not a hired job.
@@fredrikcallinggard3905 That’s not my point and I know what spec ad means. SamSK liked that the spec ad had good cinematography but he didn’t notice that it was about clothing made by Levi’s. But I think that good cinematography is important and should also support the story but the job of each commercial is that it must be rather obvious what it is about. So if he didn’t notice that it’s about Levi’s products, the concept of the ad, no matter if it’s an official or spec ad, failed in this case. Do you know what I mean? At least that’s how I interpreted his comment
Beyond your stellar work, I love your transparency when it comes to what you learned, what didn’t work, and simply asking for help. I’m inspired to move forward with my next passion project. Subbed!
This is really cool, to see the work and thought process behind it also what it took to achieve it. It really helps to put things in perspective for anyone looking to start a project.
Amazing work! You did a fantastic job, the only thing holding this back is the in-body stabilization. I know that a lot of people love the in body stabilization, but it actually gives it an amateur look because of the way that the stabilization is sticky. You can always tell right away when something is stabilized in body. Because as you move the camera a little bit and it sticks at certain points. Also, you just need to add a lot more weight to the camera. That’s why the stuff on Arri Alexa looks so good handheld, aside from the fast rolling shutter, it’s also the weight that gives it the stability and the proper inertia. Anyway, man you’re a super talented guy. You’ll be directing high-end spots any day now. Stay focused. You’ll get there.
Thank you so much for this, I defo agree with the stabilization bit + the weight of the rig because this was a test for the camera also and figure out how i will want to use for future shoots. Also i think thats why i love the look coming out of a Sony FS7, using that camera handheld is amazing due to how heavy it is! Im still putting bits together for an FX30 rig so will defo show that and how that footage will look 👊🏽
Great to see your video popping off mate, around the same subscriber count posting videos and this is a WELL deserved video. Super smooth and fluid across the board. Great colors!
Mannn so helpful the way its explained and all the in depth details was the key to the video!!! We need creators to be more thorough bout it!!! LOVE the video!!!🔥🔥🔥
this is so good. thank you so much for sharing your whole process. it really educates me to have a diff way to project my ideas and see how this usually works. U ARE THE BEST
Very very thorough breakdown I love how you broke up each segment and even this video is color graded it really gives off this stylish vibe to your channel you have inspired me alot with this one reaching out to a model agency for a cast is a gem I never thought of doing that but my only peeve or one thing I wish you included was the recording format that you used on your camera and if your externally recorded to monitor or not. But you have earned a sub with me I would love to hear what you do on shoots with a fs7 in a future breakdown video because I just bought one and no one seems to talk about the best recording format to get the best out of your color grade.
Love for this, I filmed a music video with the FS7 in January, i dont have much BTS but i think i can do a video about that shoot and talk about my settings and etc! To be open to before i make that video: Both FS7 and FX30 settings are: Cine EI - slog3.cine All recorded internally 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for sharing the process. It is rewarding and genuinely helping to learn from each single step of your video. I wish you many other opportunity to express you artistical and inspiring part of yourself.
@@maynard.sabellano yeah its really good for the price, plus I love how the colour grade tuned out with it on your video. I might have to try it out on my videos :)
Hey, great video man, do you still have the files for the pre production workflow? I think it'd be really helpful to see how you've broken down the project for the crew and cast to see. Thank you!
Thank you!! All natural / practical 😅 because it was a 5 day shoot i couldnt really afford to rent lights for the allotted time! Also the limitation of having to be low key in some locations and then the added factor that i was alone (cam crew wise) 🙏🏽 so carrying wardrobe + camera equipment was heavyy
@maysabellano Super nice video. Can you share the production process more detailed? step by step? because in tearms of gear many of us just have a cellpone and some editing video program and thats it but I think we can still try to do something just to get familiar with it.
Great breakdown, thank you! ❤ Also wanted to know why do you prefer to do CST from S-log to ARRI Log? By the way, does it matter to fix WB and exposure after this CST or before? And also, does your Post CON node converts to Rec. 709? Couldn't find it in the video.
Definitely producing and also to be just a more confident director as well. Another thing is that I'm quieter than I think so sometimes people can't hear me but having other people to be Assistant Directors were useful cos they could convey my message better.
@@nodripja I think the colours come out good and accurate enough! I did pick them cos they are IPS and 144Hz which was I wanted cos I used to play loads of PC games. I do think there are better colour accurate options out there, but this one isn't bad for both productivity + gaming.
