    Sweet stuff Kofi. It’s been a year or so since I’ve seen your channel and this is a great video to remind me how much value you bring to the community. I dont think I’ll ever call myself a filmmaker but for sure I’ll keep creating. Next year I want to work more on the “practice” of my gear rather than just switching through bodies to try and review 😂

    Thanks, Kofi. So much good advice in this video. As an old guy from a photography background just getting into videography, I find I've adopted a lot of similar traits in developing a game plan for what I want to focus on in this new venture. I very much appreciate, and have gained so much from your videos as well as those from your guests. Oddly enough, and I don't think it came up too much in this clip, I really find myself dialing in audio as a major factor in my work. Of course, my projects are typically more tied to the music industry so a lot of that comes from the audible production side of the media. It's all a very intricate balance with lighting, quality video, content, and of course , knowing who you're trying to target. In any event, good stuff as always....... thanks for taking YOUR time to put this type of content out there for "Newb's" like me and, to be honest with you, I just love your style man. 👍

    Sending a video message is HUGE and probably one of the most overlooked HACKS there is in getting business! I can't tell you how many people decided to take a meeting with me because I sent a video message, as opposed to a text/email, etc. People are very impressed with this type of communication - especially when it's a cold outreach - because video puts a name to the face and also builds up familiarity/trust right away!

    Great video!!... Made me think back when I started up a while ago, and in my case the gear available was so expensive and out of reach that we had to find a company to develop a camera that we could use for our films, which ended up being the first digital camera that won an academy award for cinematography. A great adventure it was. And now, 16 years later if I had to start all over again... Hell, even at the pont I´m now, I´d get a couple of FX30 or any other affordable camera on the market to shoot a whole film or tv show and have fun getting my hands dirty rather than over spending in two steps of DR or superfluous features. Honestly the tools available now are just insane, even an iPhone is a top noch filmmaking tool.

    @kofiyeboah All these elements of your content make major sense!!! Especially with the color grading. I enjoy creating my own color grades than using LUTs from someone else. What I'm doing so far is creating LUTs for specific projects. Also, by only doing a few LUTs it gives you more flexibility in color grading based on the moods of scenes. At least that's what I plan on doing. And I make my own music, for my own projects anyway. So, the whole process for me is the most fun and engaging. Thanks as always for great content, Sir!!! 👍🏾

    This is a very insightful video... I am wondering, how much would apply if you were starting to do filmmaking more as a hobby than a career?
    I left video-post production after college and went into IT because the working with clients was so soul crushing that I'd rather tell the stories I want and work a good job to finance it.
    BTW, IT clients are also soul crushing, but in a completely different way that my ego can handle.

    • @KofiYeboah

      I guess a hobbie, you’d just what whatever you’d like, there’s no risk really. You might have to self fund for resources, but essentially it’d be like hobby basketball I guess, just find a court, 5 friends and play 3 on 3

  • @DeviceElectronic

    Kofi, you are a great filmmaker. I was always wondering if you can make the Sony FX30 video look just like the Red Komodo X video. I know Komodo has a global shutter and R3D raw has a lot more DR than Sony S-Log3. But if we try to edit FX30 video to look just like the Komodo video... Could you kindly make a video about that please? I really love the look of Red but there are times that I only bring Sony camera with me. So I wish I can make Sony footage look almost like Komodo. I wish all the best for you. Thanks.

    • @KofiYeboah
      @KofiYeboah  8 месяцев назад +1

      I don’t think that’s necessary , the Sony looks great, and I don’t think making it look like something is not is going to fix that! Best thing to do is make your camera look the best it can, and if you want a Red Komodo look, rent a red Komodo 👍🏾
