I wrapped on a 60 min documentary this summer as a director and DP. Shot 26 days straight in Marocco. The amount of material you get from shooting from sunrise to sunset, even with breaks, is staggering. Im glad I got a lot of things 'right' from your list. Manual focus, wireless follow focus, camera with a handle or shoulder rig, backlight as much as possible. I also exposed and white balanced for artistic flare rather then 'correct' whenever I wanted to (I tend to use around 5500K in all situations, like daylight balanced film). Im still overwhelmed by the editing, but I think I got it sketched out in my head now. I would add that wireless lav mics are a MUST. All day everyday. The feeling you get when filming people far away, talking more personally, and have crystal clear audio, can be fantastic.

Nice one Tomas! I hear you about being overwhelmed by footage - I just shot 400 hours and it's terrifying! And we're on the same page about lavs, it's like magic!

Stoked to have stumbled upon your channel, this is solid content. Always appreciative of actual pros who come on here to offer their wisdom and experience. Coincidentally I have been finding myself gravitating more and more to this "French New Wave" raw, fly-on-the-wall style of filming.. it feels more "human" haha. It was super helpful to watch you deconstruct the nuances of what creates this look. Looking forward to all your future videos! Cheers

Great tips as always! I've binged a ton of your videos over the past week. I was the same way with Last Chance U, when Netflix kept suggesting it, I thought it was going to be like a sports reality show, and not being into sports or reality tv I kept ignoring it. When I finally checked it out I was pleasantly surprised.

I love these tips Luc, especially focusing manually! So many filmmakers coming up are not learning this skill and relying solely on Autofocus. As a producer/editor hiring camera operators, I've been burnt by an op relying on AF...it's not fun. Keep making these videos. I'm loving them.

Seeing something about backlight situations would be great, especially since they can create some serious pain too. I sometimes struggle with weird flares or reflections of a screw on filter. Also nice to know: how to ensure a good exposure without burning sky without massive grad ND? P.s.: I like that you’re not one of these RU-vidrs with overacting!
@LucForsyth
@LucForsyth Год назад
Great idea, I’ll add them to the list. Sometimes I wish I could be more like a normal RU-vidr, but just can’t do it!

Very helpful video, and generally - love your content. Thank you! Do you have a recommendation for more specific cinema lenses with good manual focus? My main one is currently a Sony GM 24-70mm. I shoot both stills and video, so this lens is amazing, but I’m directing my first feature documentary now and would be interesting to explore another lens option to supplement my new FX3.

Would you recommend the r5 over the Sony fx3 for documentary work? Great content
@LucForsyth
@LucForsyth Год назад
I'd personally go with the fx3 or fx30 over the R5 because of the audio top handle. The ability to run professional audio through a mirrorless camera makes it a much better doc came IMO. Image quality on all high end cameras is amazing, audio is the weak point of most mirrorless
