The gimbal is an incredibly versatile tool when you think about it. It can be a Steadicam, slider, dolly, jib or crane. I have tended to go with intuition when It comes to camera movement, but I'm working on being more intentional in the creative development phase so my intuition has more room to breath.
That dance between using camera movements that effect the audience but don’t call attention to themselves distracting the audience is something Nolan has really excelled at.
This was jam packed with information and ideas I've never heard of before.. I love that you've taken the time to dissect Nolan's work and use the same principles in your own work. Great content man, thanks for opening my eyes a little more
Thank you so much man; there's too much to dissect with Nolan movies, this is just the tip of the iceberg and i'm inspired every time I rewatch one of his classics
Great video. One of the reasons I invested in a ronin 4D was to be able to almost all shots without changing set up. But like you I’ve actually gone backwards and becoming fascinated with still shots over the last year. But then love the fact I can press one button and give me some alternative options. Keep on going yo!
@@ZachRamelan I actually love it. I don’t even think I’ve made the most of it to be honest lol. The fact that I can simply open the case and be ready to shoot in under 2 minutes is insane. So many locations when you can just grab a few takes and then go is alone so much more practical then you think. I use the 17-28mm a lot and it’s amazing. The footage I capture always looks cinematic even on the monitor with a simple rec 709 over the top. But it’s the ease of use is where it really stands out it’s so flexible you don’t need to much to change a position. Gone are the days when you need to do multiple set ups. Literally point and go. When you need to be underslung grab the handle. when you want to adjust the position of your hands due to a shot or a space literally use the adjustable pegs to change FW or back on each handle. When you want to go hand held hold a small button by your right hand and your in “hand held mode”. I can mimic a dolly, mini jib, drone and if you have a ladder or something you can get height you can get a Birds Eye shot with ease. I very rarely need a 2nd AC and if I do it will be for a handful of dynamic shots. I got a Skate film and a musical that we are planning to shoot all of it on the Ronin 4D. But any questions feel free to ask?
Hey Zach, this is completely off topic, but I was thinking about Freelancer. What ever happened with that? Are you still working on a longer version? I think it's great, and I for one would love to see more of it
Oh my gosh, thank you for bringing this back to the top of my mind. It's funny, but I've been thinking more and more about this film and was literally talking about it yesterday.
@ZachRamelan there's something there mate. It's worth exploring. I even had my own idea's, like the protagonist goes on to clear his name, whilst navigating this world where people are seen as income/quotas, he brings a bit of humanity back to it. Anyway, I'm just simply saying that the short has a lot of legs. And if you approach it like you did the short, keep the budget down, doing it full Indie, I think you'd pull it off. A series, absolutely. Or even a short form series. Dust more than likely would pick it up, seeing as you've previously been on the platform. Or I could see it play out as a short feature, like 70 to 80 minutes. It's the sci-fi I love, and I think other sci-fi fans would love it to
Ask yourself does this shot serve my story. When you think like that you will find an effective balance of motion. Think deeper and you will create great work.
Yes! I should have explained it better. Push it is when the camera dollies forward, and push out is when the camera dollies away. It moves through the space. The best way to recognize if this is happening is to look at the corners of the frame to see if they're moving.
The problem with tech fans or director's fans is that they trap themsselves inside a way of making films. Their technique becomes tricks. "When it happens this, I shot like that", and so on. Watch closely films from Sydney Lumet or Marcel Carné. You'll learn that they don't have a style, they use what they need to make the story and characters.

intuition is the secret sauce that gets better with every project! Couldn't agree more

Loved the "emotion should drive motion," penned it on my notebook 🤭
YES!
I’ll totally see this in the theater. I’m so down to support the cause and keep things going.
Love how informative your videos are.
Incredible video as usual 👏👏
Thank you so much!
Evil empire is such an awesome studio!
Great video.

How are you liking the 4D? Been thinking about it a lot.

Should we make it a series?

Whooooo, you are so good!!! So much beter than bad cinematographers ... 😂😂😂 What a text😢
Good one
Great video!!!!

how do we watch your short film 'rogue wave'?
great video
Nice video
Can you explain in your own words about a push in & push out shot? please?
Yes! I should have explained it better. Push it is when the camera dollies forward, and push out is when the camera dollies away. It moves through the space. The best way to recognize if this is happening is to look at the corners of the frame to see if they're moving.
