Thanks for this question. The truth is, that achieving a cinematic look is all about a comprehensive approach to every technical aspect of the image. Honestly, the codec would likely be the last factor to consider if everything else is set up correctly. There’s no magic fix-only a complete approach. You can even use an older camera and still achieve a pretty cinematic image. The key to a cinematic shot lies in the power of composition, the right cinematic lighting, the right lens choice, and then the technical grading. On my channel, you’ll find videos shot on an old Canon 60D this year that look cinematic, as well as ones shot on a 6K Pro that have the same cinematic feel. Try to find an approach to the image that makes you happy. For example, look at my Instagram for lighting references-there are many simple yet effective setups you could replicate and then analyze to understand why they work. Regarding the codec, I shot this in ProRes 422. Hope this helps!

You are right, my friend!🎥👍

Thanks for the comment. Look, for filming, you need a working range that isn’t extreme but still noticeable. If you go with 45mm and 30mm, you’ll see very little difference in framing, especially in a small space. I’d suggest considering the 30mm after you already have the 45mm and 21mm.

@@Filmmaker_SZ Thank you for the quick response. Much appreciated 👍🏻 First I thought that the 21mm would have too much distortion when shooting close to a person but after seeing your footage it looks pretty good. So I’ll add the 21mm to my wish list next. Keep up you great work.

Great! We'll keep in touch!

Thank you for the comment; it means a lot to me! I appreciate you watching the videos - I create them especially for viewers like you! Greetings to Brazil and its independent filmmakers from me!

yes great video...thanks

Thanks for the comment - it helps bring simple but effective lessons to a wider audience. I drop something interesting every month, so stay tuned!

It's not just about the gear, it's also about the skills. Unfortunately, I don’t see you showing any results, even shot on your phone. Meanwhile, over 20,000 people have watched this video-and it seems like they enjoyed it. Thanks for watching, though! I'm sure you learned a lot from it.

My team and I are currently working hard on an app that will offer this functionality. If you send me a message on Instagram, I’ll let you know when we launch the app (expected in the next three months).

A good solution. You might also want to check out the new lights from Small Rig - RC-100B: smallrig.com/r/NY3YJ4 They are twice as powerful, though you'll need additional V-mount batteries for them.

@@Filmmaker_SZ thx for the suggestion. I’m rather intimidated with this project, and i must do it soon because the caves will be raining groundwater by November. I have Sirui 60W lights. I hesitate to use much more powerful lights because they will drain batteries quickly, and the 970 batteries I have last 80 minutes or more. Just enough time for what I need to do-I hope

@@GeologyDude Good luck! And then share the result.

Thanks!😊

Very soon, I’ll be releasing shorts with my own voice. However, the majority of videos will still feature the voice of my friend and voice actor, Jason. My goal is to keep things simple and clear, and I want to stick to that approach in creating my content. Thank you for your message!

Thank you for your question! I really enjoy creative and technical questions! Perhaps some people have encountered such issues with the DZO 21mm and 40mm lenses, but personally, I’ve had complete color consistency between them.

I usually shoot a raw video and then we work on the color with my colorist.

Thank you😊

Thanks!🔥

Approximately 4000K is set in the camera. But it's important to note that a "Deep Blue" gel filter is applied on the 5600K light. The blue tint we're seeing comes from the filter, not the color temperature itself.

Thank you for your kind words and comment! 25fps, shutter angle 180.

Thanks, mate! This video is partly inspired by Euphoria and other themes about addiction!

The sky turned out great, I agree! Thank you!

Thank you so much!

You are welcome!😊

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot!

Hey, please watch the video more closely! The goal of the video was to create a cinematic scene at night using just two 60-watt lights-no generator and crew. Where did you see additional lights for filling in? Thanks for your comment and kind words!

Just give it a try once and you’ll see that you can do it. Independent filmmaking is your path to realizing your dream, so just go for it once!

Thanks for this comment - it means a lot to me. My goal was to visually demonstrate different visual experiences using various lenses. I always try to create content that I wish I had access to when I was starting out.

@@Filmmaker_SZ Well you're succeeding. Wish you the best!

Thank you for your comment and kind words! If you haven't already, you can check out other recent videos on the channel; I consistently strive to use this style. Also, you'll find more diagrams on my Instagram, feel free to follow! I've been using an image pack for diagrams from C-lovers, but they no longer sell it. Perhaps in the future, I might create my pack and make it available to our community, but that's not certain yet)))

@@Filmmaker_SZ Will do, thanks!

Thank you so much!

Thank you! In my opinion, IRIX lenses are very good, especially if you need a modern, sharp image.

Thank you for your kind words and support!

You're very welcome! I’m glad you like this setup.

You can find the gimbal from the video at this link: store.feiyu-tech.com/5e69f Thank you for your comment!

Great tool! Congratulations on your purchase!

Hi! Thank you for your kind words! I've been shooting with various BM cameras for many years, and honestly, I haven't encountered any vignetting issues. The BMPCC6K Pro isn't full-frame, but I used full-frame lenses-and at some point, I noticed that if I want to get the minimum crop of the image, I need to shoot in BRAW 6K. That way, I’m using the maximum sensor area, and the image is actually larger than expected. Other than that, everything is great! What has your experience been like?

@@Filmmaker_SZ When I used this lens and black magic camera, I was afraid of vignetting , Thank you for your kind explanation I'm always enjoying the ur video !!!!!!!!!!

@@임진우-m8p Thank you! I hope my experience will help you! Stay in touch!

Thank you so much!

Hey mate, thanks for your comment! Honestly, I love comments because they create a connection between us and I realize that the videos I make are worthwhile! Yes, smoking is a visual cliché I often exploit-I need to come up with something more interesting for the actors-I'll work on that! Although, of course, the main goal of my videos is to teach cinematic lighting and image work.

@@Filmmaker_SZ Haha the video was great. I was just being good natured. I actually prefer when videos like this are exaggerated because it makes it much easier to see what the creator is trying to teach.

@@Chromedbustop Thanks for your kind words and sense of humor. You mentioned liking 'exaggerated' videos; do you find mine to be so? Is my explanation clear, and do you think you could apply what I teach in practice?

I really appreciate every comment under my videos-thank you for your thoughts and I'm glad to hear my content is useful to our community. I always say that it's not just about the equipment, but understanding how it works and what results you can achieve with it. I strive to create clear and visual content so that anyone can understand the reasoning and replicate the results for their creative projects. Thanks again for your comment!

@@Filmmaker_SZ you are absolutely right...this is why I find your channel very helpful...It's easy to understand how you use those equipments...please keep the blessings coming...we are hungry for knowledge out here and do need a lot of contents like yours...so thank you very much!

Thank you, my friend! I will continue to make content!

@@Filmmaker_SZ can't wait...thank you!

Thank you for your support! It's great that you wrote about this!

Thank you so much! 4000K.

Thank you! I love the simplicity and ease of ProRes, but it looks like I'll soon be switching to BRAW, considering Blackmagic is gradually moving away from that format.

@@Filmmaker_SZ I also think prores has less noise in the shadows than braw too.

I haven't worked much with BRAW, but I think if you nail the exposure, it should pull details out of the shadows well. Could you share your experience with BRAW?
