man that lighting on your face is amazing
better then commercial
@@enjoyyourtime No client approval on youtube :)
Agreed. His interview lighting is top notch.
Too flat for my liking
@@Crimsonengine Do you mind sharing avg budget for a commercial like this ?
I love this channel. Learning a lot. Thank you so much
Hey, Thank you very much for this, I am self learning for my employer just to do short films and you tube commercials, your videos help. :)
Great work, thank you for doing this. Everyone talks about the gear, but they forget that how you handle a set is just as important. I really like that last tip about the snapshots.
Also its kind of refreshing to see that you didn't use a gimbal or a ton of movement but shot this more traditionally. That being said I think it could have benefited from a tad more movement.
Hey Caleb - Thanks for the feedback. I did have a slider on set but I was concerned that with such a small crew and so many shots we wouldn't make our day if we added a slider to every shot. You're probably right that it would have added something.
@Crimson Engine why didn’t you do anything about the reflections of the background in the cabinet hatches?
There is so much value in this video! thanks for sharing
You're the man sir! Thank you so much for posting this. So helpful for us just dipping our toes in this type of work. It's nice to see how much thought goes into these types of shoots. Sometimes I find the hardest part is informing and educating our clients on the process. Many think it's just an hour of work to produce something like this. Thanks again and keep em coming!
You can imagine how happy I am finding you!!! Rub, you are the best!
You're so hot Vanessa
Thanks for doing this. Its always nice to see how others do what we do. Keep it up!!
that was DOPE !!!! thanks for sharing !!
These Rock!
Really enjoyed this video, and thanks for sharing the final product, well done 👍
Wow! More bts ! 😁. Thanks for the knowledge. Keep uploading good stuff!
Thank you for great breakdown. Nice work.
Hey Rubidium great video! Having a BTS crew for your shoots sounds awesome! I can envision something like a Jason Lanier video, but definitely with your style built in.
Hey Emu! Thanks for the input. I hadn't seen Jason's stuff before but its very cool (I want that 12x12 full grid frame!). I'm definitely going to do more of these on upcoming projects, and maybe even plan projects around them.
Great video Robidium. Awesome tip about using upwork to redo your storyboards. They looked fantastic.
Thanks! A lot better than my scribbles :)
Awesome work! And you are certainly right, actors often do not get to see their work. It's a great idea to share the actor's work with them! Thank you. 👊🏾👨🏾💻🎬📽📺
That was very informative and helpful, thanks for sharing!!
Very informative.Keep posting this stuff
Dude, another amazing video. Really awesome to get this step by step run through, always nice to see others workflow, very inspiring!
Cheers Scott! It took me a while to get the format down for these. If I try to talk to camera on set, it comes out incomprehensible :)
Thank you for this. Quite helpful to hear each step you went through and I appreciate the behind the scenes perspective.
Loved this! Thanks man!
beautiful work
This is good nuts and bolts stuff. I want that kitchen. The final product was excellent. And that girl is cute as can be! Thanks for bringing us along.
You're very welcome! I've done a bunch more since then, I need to edit the BTS into an episode.
Great video, excellent advice and great job on the video. Showing the actors a glimpse of their work is so key, great feedback. Thanks again.
the video quality is so CRISP
Every time I watch one of your video I learn something new
Cheers a great insight into a tv commercial, do more of this type of vid
Really liked this. Cool to see what it’s actually like. Thank you!
Good stuff! I look forward to more videos like this one.
Great tips, thank you for this 💣
Thank You for sharing some lnsigt. I am learning as much as I can. The more I know Will giive me the Edge. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Thanks again for another great video! Crazy how the little details sound out later, the close up at 9:43 the male talent hair has a blue light for the first and only time! 😂It’s beautiful!
awesome breakdown
Thanks for sharing your process, there's a lot of great tips here :)
Just found your channel, loved this clip about commercials and subscribed. Hope you make more about TV COMMERCIALS. THNX
Thanks for making this
Great job!
Love this. Thanks! :)
Thank you so much!!! This was very informative.
Great video! thanks for making these kind of videos
So glad I found your channel, this is my first video of yours watching. Gonna scroll through and hopefully I found how you lit up your face on this video. Lighting is great
Super awesome and helpful video. Thank you so much for posting this. Learned alot.
Hey man, this was a great video! Thanks
Glad you liked it! Working on a ton more of these over at www.canonmasterclass.com
Just found you channel and this video is pure gold. As an aspiring commercial director I love how you explained your directing process. Thanks and keep making great content.
Thanks Carlos! Hope you can find something helpful here.
Love the insight. Thanks
Great insight mate!
Really thanks thats so helpful keep show us thus behind the scene
Insightful video, thank you.
Nice insight into the process. Love the look of your vlog setup too.
Just watched two of your videos, back to back, which led me to buy your online course just now!
Thanks for the support, Charlie! More to come.
Man that was a great BTS of your TVC process from the ground up...informative, expressive, & some great knowledge shared. .I shoot short-form social media video content & work along a similar process but it's a little more rugged /run&gun style but every now & then I engage in a project that's needs more refinement & it's so great to see how other professionals get their business done. Many thanks.
Cheers, Michael! Glad you found it helpful!
So helpful!
Great work!
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for doing this.
Thanks! Hope you got something from it :)
Really nice and insightful. I'm looking to go into commercial directing and this was super helpful.
Best of luck! I recommend you start filming your own spec commercials for brands you admire and go from there.
thank you
Nice job...
Nicely done.
I post some graded snapshots for my cast and crew on my last shoot, for the same reasons that you mentioned here. It's a small thing to do and takes but a moment to sort out, everyone was happy to see what they'd accomplished. Love that the C200 footage is really nice to grade too.
Cheers, Nick! I didn't grade the BTS so that the commercial would look better by comparison :) I used the LUTs in the description
Crimson Engine I’ve not been able to shoot RAW yet (not my own C200 I’m using and don’t have the cf cards for the workflow) but when I do I’ll be getting your LUTs. I’ll also be looking at getting the Shape rig too thanks to your video on it.
Awesome! Please share your vids when you do!
great video! thanks for sharing
Looks great! Is that the 300D with dome as key?
Great video :D
Thanks for sharing valuable info also doing everything yourself is v hard. The ad looks great but not to my taste its a bit cold and corporate look but each their own taste well done
Great work! I just came across your channel about 2 months ago and have enjoyed your content. Really love the look of your lighting setup. Thanks for putting this workflow breakdown together.
Cheers James. No matter how many times I shoot it always feels like I'm winging it :)
I really found this beneficial especially the tips on how to outsource or resource talent. Do you have a standard release form you use for every job? Is there a good one online?
Nice!!
Hey Rubidium! I found your channel a few weeks ago and have been really enjoying your content. How often do you work in this role as director/producer/DP? Is this typical for your commercial projects? Also do you edit the final piece? Thanks for the info 👊
Best “tutorial” you’ve done. Thank you! Especially appreciate your “next day stills” for the talent. That’s a brilliant idea.
Very detailed video! I was wondering: did you write the script yourself?
This is amazing I like the color temperature and grading is awesome nice.
I think many cinematographers rush into shooting before planning and sketching their script but nice tip on storyboard sir and would love to see some More flash detailing shots and some slow motion cut-in shots next time but again that depends on the duration you working with. Otherwise am encouraged and impressed.
Thanks for sharing. I’m learning a lot from you. All the way from Sint Maarten (caribbean)
Hey! Thanks for watching, Peter.
Very insightful video, any chance you can reveal what the budget was for your TVC?
Hey, just wanted to say that I love your content. Find it very relevant and informative, but hands down... You've got the most Rockin name i've ever heard! curses to my parents and their lack of originality! Keep up the fantastic work.
Thank you! i'm glad it's helpful. If you have suggestions for content, let me know.
Thanks For sharing :)
Thank you for sharing. Just one question, how did you managed the light in the show room? I guess it is difficult to get the right mood in such open space!
Excelent
Hello! Just wondering where abouts in the commercial process the selection/ composition of music comes in? Very interested in getting into that department!
great video
btw which camera did you use to shoot for the explanation part? c200 as well?
cheers
Thanks! Me talking to camera is the c200b, as per usual. The BTS was shot with Sony... something? I'll ask the shooter and get back to you.
Awesome video! How did you find the client?
Like this run thru. Did you post the final commercial? Did I overlook it?
In the end of the video...?
Thanks for sharing this. I recently discovered your youtube channel, and enjoy your content a lot. I'd love to see more BTS videos showing the details of how shoots are run, lit, directed, etc. The internet is flooded with gear reviews, but the real magic happens on set and shooters need to know the practical workflow of life on set. Seeing how crews deal with the challenges on set (location, audio, lighting, etc.) is always informative to watch.
BTW, it would be cool to see more of you work. Have any links you'd care to share?
Thanks Dave! I do like BTS as well - check out crimsonengine.net
Thanks for the link. The Brooklyn Tide trailer looks GREAT and your commercial work is spot on. Any chance you would do a video about getting commercial work? Everyone seems to want to do feature films, but I'd like to know how to break into good commercials work. Shorter production time than features, but high production value and decent budgets look like a good way to make a living.
This help so much to understand . How to design the scenes. I'm talking about BTS. Please , please make a video on how to shoot cinematic commercial. Please .
Thanks for sharing this! This BTS is super interesting and explains a great deal. As an architect, you did a great job getting the office/showroom to become a stylish kitchen in a high rise. Except.... for the exit sign in the hallway as the wife comes in the door. Yes, apartment buildings have exit signs in their corridors, but that ceiling screams "office building" not "condo/apartment building" and just erasing that exit sign would go a long way to not "triggering" that in the viewer. We're paying attention to the beautiful actress, and the green sign pulls focus away to say "something's not right." But... if the client is happy with it, no need to mess anything up!
Also, it's not my field, so there's a ton I don't know about releases, but wouldn't it be ideal to have them sign the release as part of accepting/committing to the project. "Yes, I'll be there on this day, for this rate, and here's your release signed for the shoot/project." I didn't expect that it would be done at the end of shooting. Some legal reason?
Tell me how you got that look on your face! I love the lighting and the color grade. Care to share?
Is it possible to do a video like this on short films? Thanks!
I'm impressed by the quality of your video, what lens did you use in Vlog?
By looking at BTS, my guess would be Sigma 18-35 at 35mm.
Loving it! Was the view from the window in the final shot actual or composited?
All in camera! Its on the 25th story of a building in downtown LA.
@@Crimsonengine How did you light without reflections?
@@NakeanWickliff i tried to stay off angle with the mirrors - other times we covered the camera with black fabric. You just take it shot by shot.
@@Crimsonengine All those glossy surfaces in the kitchen! I was wondering the same thing. Well done!
got a couple of questions for you:
1.- if you just had a 120D Mkii with a light Dome, What would you get as your 2nd Light for documentary interviews and corporate work Budjet $1200 . ???
2.- in 2020 would you still go for an APS-C or would you go for full frame in other words FX9 or C300Mkiii ???
Do you mix your lights with kitchen light?
Great video! Did you go through an agency or direct to the client?
Thanks! I had a relationship with the client. This is the third project I've done for them.
Do I get this right, 13hrs for 30 sec commercial? Great commercial resulting. Well done you.
Final product looks good, however you can see part of your light panel in the top left corner of the shot where she first walks into the kitchen. You can mask that out pretty easily.
I'd recommend getting the release forms signed at the start of the day not the end.
Wasnt keen on the clinical feel and the grade. Skin seems harshly lit and pasty. I realise it was a showroom but it was lit like a showroom. But perhaps the client made you do that.
Yes, the video was valuable, but in the commercial itself: lighting, framing composition, pacing, editing, music, were off. Also we don’t understand what is the commercial for. But we cannot know how much it is the choice from the client.
Thanks for making this bts video. How did the client find you?
Through my youtube channel, actually :)
the light and grading in your own content is so much interesting than the final commercial. I love how catching is your personal work vs the flatness of the commercial. I am a creative director and I know there are clients involved, but i`m sure you could do a much more better atmosphere if you fight a bit more! Cheers!
errr...thanks I think :) I learned a long time ago to pick my battles.
Crimson Engine u r the best dude!
Man, I've been binge watching your show since i found it last week, I wonder if you have thought about doing a critique and/or practical advice show. So far as i know Film Riot is the only other show that does that. It could be really helpful, even for those of us that are really really REALLY green. Plus it might be away to pump out content without really having to generate new topics of your own...not that I hate that, Just a thought.
If it's not too much trouble, how much time elapsed from the moment you got the script to when the commercial was shot? How much time for editing?
About 2 weeks before for the script, and about a week of post.
Great video as always, can you please write the storyboard artist I’m searching for him but I can’t find thx
I noticed most of the shots were on a tripod or slider. If you were asked to do a tracking shot or something with motion, what would be your go to tool or stabilizer using the c200?
Probably a Ronin M or the Movi5. I tried a couple of the smaller one handed gimbals and found them tough to use.
