Amazing video, thank you

This is not a video for me and I realized that pretty quickly. But it is good to know what the industry standards are and what to expect with more growth and success. Cheers!

The biggest obvious problem I see is that people's behavior changes in light of their knowledge that they are being filmed.

Thanks for this!

This is solid advice -- Thank you!

Is there a possibility of making a video about "shooting" verité? What types of skills should be practiced/refined to make the leap from prose to poetry?

Just amazing content on this channel. better than film school in many respects. Gonna pull out some cine primes and practice this weekend.

What kind of monitor is that?

Nice gear rundown ❤ I started with a DPA 2017 shotgun mic, then expanded my setup with DPA 6060 lav mics which I love using. I’ve been using Rode Wireless Pro which has worked really well, better than I expected for 2.4Ghz. I recently added a Sound Devices 833 to my setup and moving to the A20 TX/RX system. Not cheap 😅 but I love the versatility and reliability for larger jobs.

Hi, would you recommend daylight led for beginner like me or bi-color? I am looking to purchase my first light, 300W, as this is what my budget is allowing me to. Also, please provide any recommendation for what can be a great first light for under 400-500 CAD.

Hi everyone, The amount of details and the time you take to share all this information with the RUclips community it is priceless. Thank you and keep the great work, you have one of the best channels.

this is god's work, i keep coming back to it. Thank you.

THANK YOU

Thanks for this video. I was a sound guy, edited sound, went over to camera and light. Edited many films. And now I’m even stills photographer. I recognize your gear, great choices. But the main problem with 2 or more (omni!) lavs, and an on camera shotgun and a boom mic is mic bleed. Your explanation is about an interview or any other set with two actors with lav mics and a boom. The on camera mic would help to sync this all, if you don’t use a tentacle set. But how do you handle mic bleed? Is this for your editor? It’s very time consuming (expensive) to deal with it in post. Mic bleed is what you hear in the unedited mix hear if actor 1 talks in his own lav but also (from a distance) in lav 2 and in the boom. It delivers unusable sound in the setup you describe. If I count the investment in your gear, a good sound recorder (e.g. Sound Devices with automix tools) would save you (en your sound editor) very much time and money. In camera recording is ok for a single boom or for sets with sufficient distance between the actors. In an interview the distance is rarely enough. So, my question is how do you deal with mic bleed in your configuration? Ps I use almost the same gear, but have also a good sound recorder with the Dugan auto mixer. I just put on the ground, create a good mix setting before we start and use the camera mic for sync. To monitor this on my headphones (also the Sony ;) I use an extra sennheiser set between the recorder and camera to monitor the mix. I just trust on the automix in the recorder. The recorder saves also every single track so, if necessary, I can always edit it in post. But I never had any problems. With a gear set like yours a good sound recorder with automix would be a very profitable extra investment. Keep going! .

I really appreciate the depth and breadth of these lighting tuts. I do have a question about your choice to use a fully skirted-lantern. Why that accessory as opposed to a mini-light dome or light dome?

Great tips 🙌🙌🙏🏻

How common is the situation where scammers who pose as legit videographers/cinematographers, production units...., steal equipment for the cost of a rental?

Awesome video!

Matt, how do you focus with that ballgrip support using only your finger? I mean a cine lens' 270 to 300 degree focus ring means that one finger movement will be okay if your subject is moving a short distance. If however they move enough to use much of that nearly 300 degree ring, it will inevitably introduce a jarring pause while you shift your finger back to the end of the ring to readjust and cover the rest of the focus distance, no?

Hey Matt, I'm curious, did you ever wear body armor during the filming of the Trade/Cartel land? I noticed a couple photos of Matthew Heineman during the filming, he appeared to be wearing some. If so, do you have any recommendations for armor that you're able to still be mobile while filming? Thanks!

For your Tascam 10L what are you using to transmit back to camera? 13:30

You're goated.

So informative 👏🏻 Thanks Matt!

I judged a lot, but ultimately you were correct at the end result

Would have been great to actually see each modifier as you list them just to get a reference on how they look setting up.

ultra bounce and full silk i like

Hey Matt, if you happen to see this, what do you do for outdoor interviews in locations like the forest?

I like using semi method (auto/manual ) focus which is really great as well. Or trying my best to settle-with manual focus.

Wow, can’t even believe who great this video is 🤩 thank you

Very interesting 🎉

Hi, Matt. Outstanding description! Thank you so much. Would be interesting to explore the role of cinema verite in fictional movies, like "Faces' and "Saving Private Ryan." Would be interesting to get your thoughts on that. Thanks again!

A great breakdown of film making

Thank you so much for these videos, it's incredibly valuable watching. When you shoot such large amounts of content do you shoot a compressed codec at all?

Thanks a lot for posting this sir

This is a great resource!

Hidden gem.

Great series if videos, I've learnt a lot, thank you. Subscribed :)

Really interested in the scrim Jim frame. Am I right in thinking the 6x6 can be minimised to either a 6x4 or 4x4? Obviously you'd need the different size silks but that would be a big draw card for me. My biggest reservation is the sturdiness of the frames and how they cope in windy environments as I've seen conflicting reviews. I've also been eyeing the diffusers, bounces etc from LA rag house so I'm curious if this frame can be used with a variety of other brands or if it's limited to a few.

I would love to see how you pack the audio gear so it's compact and functional as a cinematographer. I upgraded my kit now and its no longer as compact and I wonder what to do.

Did not skip even a second of this video. This is really good teaching. Subbed you with Bell !

such a great video, thank you so much! wholesome professional big cam talk without shenanigans. luv it!

Excellent test and video. For any and all experience levels. 🤙🏼🤙🏼

Great advice. Thank you!

Totally agreed. When I started some twelve years ago I was taught that autofocus was for amateurs. That is of course no longer the case but it did have the merit of forcing me and others to learn the craft of solid MF with all the mistakes and learning curve involved. Today I see so much TV shot on autofocus and it annoys me. Even the best autofocus tends to pulse between different subject very slightly and often the speed of changes in focus seem completely robotic.

Thank you! I have one question; Where do you put the transmitter in these cases?

What a comprehensive test! Thank you.

I’m trying to get a muslin today from a material shop. I’m a little bit confused with the texture description. Is it a two layer material or one layer? I'm told one layer looks like a gauze. Kindly help me out 🙏. Thanks!

The AI software you used to clean up your audio sounds awful man, been editing hours of that stuff so now i can instantly pick it up anywhere i hear it ugh -.-
