So true what the host said.
One shoot and you’ll know more than a university course. I have a degree in electrical engineering/computer science. I came to work as a consultant for a production company. And through that I ran into the vfx supervisor. Over lunch I asked him questions. And having programmed, astronomy and medical image enhance algorithms, I was captivated that there are now pieces of software that could do all that without, programming. I came there every Friday. I automated their VFX pipeline and they taught me compositing. Suddenly I’m a VFX guy. One day I got a call from this guy to help him on Dunkirk with a difficult job. And later on Masters of the Sky. Combining my VFX knowledge with my programming knowledge. No school could ever learn you that in 4 years.
And whilst being on sets, I learned cinematography just be watching asking questions. Buying my own gear. And 20 years ago I could barely shoot with a Nikon point and shoot.
Being on the job is the place to learn. All the greats did.
Hey, is there any way I can find your email? I would like to get in contact with you to ask a few questions if that's okay!
Very inspiring story. I also belive learning on the job.
@@phillipfrem4797 hi Phillip Go to www.Subliminal-artist.com and you’ll find an email there contact me through that. Happy to help.
@@Extraedit there’s really no substitute in my opinion. Schools and courses sessions are good for acquiring the basic knowledge that you need, but you can also get that from books. They don’t teach you to think and troubleshoot. That’s what on the job teaches you. You see people solving problems you collect those ideas and your own to the mix.
Schools give you basic knowledge.
Being onset gives you priceless experience.
Why?
Good thing this isn't an Audio Recording Masterclass
😆
bruh. thinking the same thing
LOL
I'm 12 minutes in and my brain keeps coming back to this comment. This often happens in a theatre environment. everything is last minute - flap flap flap and then it gets balls'd up :/
This teach us how important the sound is in a production. Please hire a great audio recordist on set!
What a gem of a Masterclass. Spectacular content. Thanks so much for showing.
this is more helpful than my crappy ass film school. thanks so much!
Your teachers will not appreciate that comment, I'm almost sure they do their best with what they have! Even though I respect your opinion, and I do believe that students should be somewhat irreverent with authority, but always respectful and appreciative... Also, perhaps there is no need to be comparing. In live, it isn't always "either or..." Sometimes we learn different things from different places. Just saying, thank you for listening.
drop out use the tuition on a short.
Do not use your tuition on a short. Shorts don't sell and won't make an ROI. Make a feature, music video, or spec commercial. Better yet, just sit on that money and start PAing local productions until you know exactly how best to spend that money to further your career
What film school are you going to?
How did I stumble upon this... THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
I was about to ask the same thing.
Thank you - it seems like the only route most people take is to complain
This is really informative! Makes me want to make a movie right now!
This has really made me rethink things. The detail, care and effort that goes into this is mind blowing (to a novice anyway). Even the problem solving is something I never knew about. I'm only here because I've recently realized I need to learn about lighting, and this is way over my head, but it's fascinating all the same.
Wow! What a difference it makes to start moving the camera when he says "...and ..." Instead of moving the camera at exactly "Action", This is the difference between a good shot to edit and a nice shot but unusable....What a treat.
@x12 417 I guess anything you already knew about is redundant.
Love this. These live events would be much better online with a switcher. Wish we could see through the camera and maybe even see what's on the monitor.
One of the finest & Best DOP workshops I ever seen...👍💐
Excellent Masterclass presentation. I will apply the knowledge with minimum budget gear.
I just started doing videos on youtube , and im trying to slowly move to film, this was gold thank you
this is a gem
One of the best instructional videos I have ever seen! Kudos!
I like the content but the problem with a lot of this masterclass is the recording. The folks recording them do not know how to record or film in a coordinated manner. They keep on filming the presenter and not what the presenter is talking about or trying to show. For example, when Roberto was instructing the gaffer (or was it the grip) to adjust the flag, the person filming it kept on recording Roberto talking on his mic and not the flag that needs to be corrected. The latter is more important to see which we hear Roberto in the background talking or explaining what he wants done.
that might be the director of cameraman
YEs the director of the cameracrew (if there is one) is missing the point here.
To the defense of whoever were behind the cams, there are never enough cameras to cover enough angles, and this is a multi-camera shooting, so the director either have to call for a camera to move or to call the angle, if it's done live with a switcher.
You aren't wrong, but the sheer quality of how simply he is able to really, include a substantial amount of insight into the lighting, framing, reacting directly to the lighting motivation, etc- it totally feels like classic 80s/90s bts footage that was so juicy and rare to come across before DVD began including that stuff with every single move. Before DVD, finding ANY content like this was pretty special to see. But yea, the first 15 minutes of horrid audio issues was almost a dealbreaker for me.... haha
tbh why show a guy adjusting a flag
Thank you so much for making this channel and gathering all these videos. I'm not a cinematographer but these videos are still extremely fascinating and you learn so much.
brilliant! love the way he explained things.
but i think they need to do a masterclass on how to get the mic working properly.
was lookin for this comment
Incredible content, thank you very much
Thank you for this. Amazing.
I've never seen so many expert cinematographers struggle to explain a look up table.
Hahahaha!!!
It wasn’t too bad.
"Rec.709 you know... is just... it gives you a look... a kind of a normal look... look i'm out of coke and this guys mic keeps feeding back and i'm not getting paid at all right now....now back to you Rob"
Thanks Thanks thanks and 1000 times Thanks!
Excellent Video
Thank you for sharing this.
Cinematography sports. Love it. Big thanks.
not hearing the camera side conversation with the dp and team is killing my soul... why?
I love this, very educative. Thanks guys...
Educative...
Thank you sooooo much for sharing these. Bit hard to join these living in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
Best explained Cinematography Class. hi guys we are #LahoreFilmSchool a film school based in Lahore.
that was great, thanks for sharing.
As one of the free content providers in this case I 'm thankful that the majority of comments here recognise just what we set up to happen and the freedom with which Robert Schaefer made available his experience (which is contained in the first statement of intent). In a sense the rest of what happens (apart from the information delivered) is about osmosis - how he delivers what her wants' and how he gets to his goal and the 200 person audience soaking that up. During this whole week-long shoot no one was paid - from Oscar winners to students - and the crew is made primarily of students (the sparks were paid and freely gave advice to students about how to be on set and how to enable the DP to achieve what they want and need). As the week went on, the student crew and student directors got better at their jobs - naturally, because doing under tutelage illustrates theory every time.
"I like unbleached mousseline" Roberto is a true man of taste and culture :)
That camera rig is amazing
thanks you for the Masterclass
Las maravillas de internet, disfrutar de clases magistrales de hace años del otro lado del charco
Excellent masterclass, full of so much valuable information! @01:41:00 Why not utilize the the built in ND?
Great one! Thank you
Would of liked to see some lavender mixed with CTB as ambient fill for sunrise. Pure black mixed with “the sun” just doesn’t work. Good workshop otherwise.
Ya know what's funny..."DP"s always teach me stuff I love it..I mean they put the gloss on the painting and their always on their game...I love it...I tell'em what I want and they can nail it...like to the floor...I love it...such beautiful photo play..
15:29 I guess GOT learned this lesson the hard way after "The Long Night"
masterful.
Excellent!
which specific colors do not work or avoid with the green screen
Someone teach these guys about mics
Hello, I am in France and I can't find any of these 2 apps.
Does someone can give me the links of these?
Fantastic stuff we have here!!
i like it it is good for me as first-timer
Yeah, no prep.
which app he was mentioning in the beginning for framing with different cameras and lenses..?
thanks.
artemis
♥️
Love it love it love it yup yup yup love it looks great looks great excellent excellent! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Anyone still watch this video?
I'm watching that mic getting passed thinking of our current covid issue. O.o Either/or, awesome video with tons of insight. Much respect to the industry and the amount of minds and hands involved.
was thinking the same
Posted in May too. hmmmm..
great masterclass, just wish there was more concentration on what was happening around the camera, or the screens instead of the Actors or speakers (always)
😍😍😍
Easy to blame the sound engineer. Since they obviously didn’t have spare lapel mics it’s probably the AV production companies fault for not having them or the event organiser for not wanting to pay for them. The sound engineers probably doing their best.
Some really interesting insights. I wonder why he doesn't use a fill light from the direction of the audience to light up the actors a bit more sharply. Besides this would help to soften the harsh shadows if fitted with dimmers and their intensity raised as the sun rises. The green screen at back acts as bounce fill but will lead to a green colour cast on the actors. This could lead a problem in post, drawing a clean matte around the actors. Of course the famous Hollywood three point lighting is considered old fashioned. I still think a very low intensity soft top light would have been useful to separate the actors from tge backgrounds
it would make shadow less harsh....just brighter
Was the app called centimeter 3 he uses with the Luxi ball?
piankhi iknaton the app he uses with Luxi ball is the “Cine Meter II”.
what is the software he is talking about? not the light meter the other one...any one can say the name of the app?
Artemis Viewfinder Pro. You can buy that for around 30$ for Android or Apple.
What was the one for the light meter?
0:39 Pretty sure Finding Leatherland is on the other "youtube. Jokes aside, thank you for this brilliant masterclass!
what the app he using measuring the light ?
cool video
Yes, Hello!
so glad I,m up at 430 am
literally me
Dude I read this literally at 4:30
Am I the only person who can't unsee the old guy in the back picking lunch out his teeth and then staring it down on his finger?
that was really disgusting. my god :D
STARTS AT 2:30
Pre- Covid? Lol great class!
Hahahaha
Amazing training but it was shot so dark for RUclips!
Where and when was this shot?
CINEFEST. In 2015 and 2016 the festival took place at the Arnolfini Centre for Contemporary Arts.
2:30 - Hope that wasn't the rona.
nice, but if you have such actors on set, you will need 20 hours for this scene :D
Is he using his iPad as a lightmeter?
Where was this taught?
CINEFEST. In 2015 and 2016 the festival took place at the Arnolfini Centre for Contemporary Arts.
whats the name of the APP artiwhat??? i can`t find it
Nico DehnhaRdt artemis pro
What was another app for the light 💡? Centimeter 3 or something I can’t find it either...
what's that guy doing at 13:35 and then 13:47 with that wheel?
that wheel moves the focus of the lens in the camera, its called folow focus.
@@cR4Sh6 thank you!
What event is this from?

@@cinematographersoncinemato1199 thank you
Both actors sitting at the same time drove me mad at each take.
Oh shit it’s the guy that did Quantum of Solace! I hated that movie! 😂
2019: excuse my cold. Let's start.
2020: evacuate the building!!!! everybody get quarantined and tested!
No boom operators here...bad audio :(
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Literally thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of film gear. Top tier cinematographer. Filmed in 720p.
You can't make this stuff up, folks.
lmao exported or streamed at 720 at least, wild to see Alexa footage looking so good even below 1080
This is great video but slow
The process is slow. Then you add explanation to every step of it...informative, but plodding
Take your hat off bro
I cant make an expert assessment of the quality of the knowledge offered by this video...but the audio engineer either didn't have the appropriate equipment (horrible EQing for the PA) or he was not experienced enough to be on this gig.....just my opinion. hard to absorb PRO material when nagging little factors like that distract so much. live sound and recording sound are pretty different
Biggest lesson- prepare better.
that green screen light was bothering me from the begining xD
Of course the content is worth watching but what I just noted are simple things that could have been corrected.
Audio is not important....
if they are, why is it so far down in the credits. and why isn't it often part of planning. this "masterclass" is an example how audio is an after thought
why the audience are old?
appreciate the video. but this dude is so slow from the cold medicine if you put the speed at 1.5 x he sounds normal lol
😂 most helpful comment I’ve read all day
You're a god sir.
"this dude" lmao
Thanks, makes it much better!
Very helpful :D ... but the live production director (or editor) needs a masterclass in live production though. Too many useless and ill-composed tight shots. Stay on the wide so that we can see *what the crew is actually doing*. Cut to the tight when you have something interesting or informative to show.
So many crew and expensive kit - but can't fix a head mic? Always carry spares :)
From a master directors perspective, that lamp on the table should have been set on a dimmer to have it slowly turn off as the sun rises
Great stuff but too much talking, going on and on and on.
Great stuff about lighting a scene, but what a terrible sound! With a mic like that, get your sh.. together!
Yes, disgraceful. As a sound person, I can't stand listening to this, truthfully.
I don't understand how that many professionals can produce such poor audio
Great information in between the half dozen people standing around the set waiting to do their one job. So much time and money wasted.
@2:30 Bless You
This could have been a good video if edited down to 6 minutes.
Rude to wear a hat knowing you are lit from above so your in half-face shadow. People want to see the eyes for non-verbal communication. ... RUclips having deleted my first two comments, I write again.
Good idea this masterclass but the sound is HORRIBLE!
dam, the cinematographer does a lot.. then director comes in and yells action?
A director's job is to make all the crew do their best in a common vision
You could say the same about the cinematographer since he is the “director of photography” he just tells the team what he wants. Also if the director came in and yelled action everyone would stand around not knowing what to do because they haven’t gone through it with the director.
The director interprets the script and comes up with the shots that are gonna be done. Are we gonna start outside and move in through the window or are we gonna cut inside, does this actor move from this position to this position. The director has to communicate with the actors to get the performance they want. They will communicate with the sound team. Maybe there’s a way we can tell part of the through sound instead visually, They need to communicate to the set design team, the costume team aswell. They’ll have to follow the film into the edit and discuss approaches with the editor and review the film and take some editorial control.” The director directs dude. They have a lot of of help but they need because they can’t hold a boom pole and a camera and rig everything at the same time. If u think the cinematographer does a lot, it shows more how much more there is to do… the lines between the jobs can become pretty blurry however.
