This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RUclips channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,668 subs and > 1k hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
I just recently found this channel, and as someone wanting to get better at filmography, I've never thought about recreating scenes. Everyone's always after, gotta be creative and do something new. But being able to break down how other filmographers do it, really helps someone learn the craft a lot more than just coming up with something new. Thank you for your videos!
Probably the best and most hopeful video I’ve seen on filmmaking in a long time. Composition, lighting, storytelling and problem solving is all that matters 99% of the time. Do you also make videos on your color grading process? I couldn’t find any. Thanks for this!!!
This was amazing feedback man! Couldn’t appreciate it more. In the process of working on sharing my color grading process, hopefully will have something soon!
i've never seen anyone talk about it follows let alone recreate one scene, this was really good, i could watch videos like this forever. my mouth hit the floor after how good the first recreation ended up. i thought it was amazing that you tried to recreate the set decorations as well. and i thought it was really cute how your wife helped you with the video, great job both of you!
Wow, this was an interesting video for me! Thanks for this video Ryan. I am an ZV-E10 user from since day 1 of it's launch and completely blown away with what you accomplished! I believe there is still a lot to learn from you and pushing the limits of Sony ZV-E10. Would you consider to do full settings and post production with this ZV-E10? That would be awesome! ❤
Bro won in the lottery, instead of having a boring girlfriend complaining about you having creative ideas for shots she not only enjoys doing it but contributes a lot to the process. Best regards, mate!
you literally give me an another hope , that doesn't matter you have good equipment or not..the only one thing you need is "keep practicing , keep improving"...thank a lot man!!
I've been shooting still since 1972. My friends and I would get into faux arguments on which camera is best. We laughed and had a great time taking pictures. The camera is a tool, nothing more. Some are more advanced with great features, others are simple. For us old timers, the only real difference was the type of film we used. Camera was nothing more than a box to hold the film and lens. I wish I was born about 20 years later, I would have jumped on the video making bandwagon. Looks like so much fun. These cameras are so much better than those old VHS video tape machines.
I think there is an extra diffusion on the left and apparently a top light that creates some hair light on the reference shot which you can see from the lampshade, but it's really close keep it up
This was fantastic! You gave me some serious direction with how to think and improve. Also what I should probably buy next, some reflectors and better light sources. What you pulled off with the ZVE-10 was so rewarding, it gives me great hope to make small projects with my a6400. Thank you.
totally agree with you.. 8 bit is ok.. just like Markus Pix teaching.. it is the lighting. You are just awesome teaching us how to do creative dramatic lighting..seeing your grueling effort that is the reason why people should pay you more for your service.. kudos to you..
This is so inspiring. I have a canon R50 with a sigma art lens and I was doubting the possibility to master a "legit" look to my projects. Now, I'm feeling like it's possible. Thank you
just bought the zv-e10 2 weeks ago :) It is an insane bang for buck body and it still produces some really nice quality video and photos (in my opinion). I'm coming from smartphone and dji pocket cameras and I was just blown away by the quality. Got the body + kit lens for 650€ too
Reading the comments, I see a lot of people are getting into videography and buying the ZV-E10. Videos like this are important to give these kids a spark to make videos. The better part of my life I shot stills, beginning in 1972. I still love stills and will never stop. But these new to the art are picking up hybrid cameras and video is #1 on the list to conquer. Keep up the good work, show how easy it is to make great shorts. One day we will see a major motion picture on the big screen totally shot on the ZV-E10. If someone can make a movie with the Sony FX-3, why not the ZV-E10.
To help people learn, I think it's crucial to show how the image *changes* as each lighting choice is made, which you do really well here. So many videos I've found simply throw up a final image and describe it, but as with storytelling, getting an idea across requires showing change over time. You'd think filmmakers would understand this intuitively, but I think your video is in the minority in taking this approach. Thank you so much, and please keep up the great work!
Love my zv-e10. Glad yours is serving you well!!! I'm rubbish at grading, but I can pull and push it far enough to get what I want and I'm glad for it 🤠
I've learned that the most important things to make a good image is Lighting, composition, and subject in that order. And of course above all you do these things to tell a good story.
I'm just mind blown by your creativity man, damn now I can see that without a budget, BUT with great ideas AND knowledge, you create such gems, although you do have a lot of material, the lights and stuff, so you do need to have a budget to create, but not the latest camera
Thats really a important thing to do. The equipment means nothing if you know nothing about cinematography and composition. Nice vid and keep rockin, bro
This video help me so much I got my new camera I don’t have anything take pictures of or videos but now I do copy what I see n movies show photography thank you
Absolutely love it! You too are amazing with your art and work and the way you work together and are passionate about what you do together.. is beautiful!
loving this series you are making Ryan. just notice on 17:55 the original has a back light on here to seperate on the dark background. Amazing videos you are making def will do this practices too. Thanks man!
So glad you're enjoying it! Yes that's a great catch which I forgot to call out. There's a few other small notable lighting differences in some of the scenes, but again the whole goal was simply to just practice some of the lighting techniques!
My first camera was the Sony A7S, then I won all sony voucher and decided to buy the zve10. At first I thought i’d mainly us the full frame camera and just use the zv for trips or b roll. But now I find myself using it more than the a7s. I think we forget that just a few years ago everybody just wanted the a73 which has basically the same specs as the zv(except the sensor) and it was perfect for most people. Now because 10bit is more accessible 8 but cameras are seen as obsolete. But I think if you had to put your money towards a camera or set equipment people should way rather use the money for equipment, even though it is less exciting.
what i most did with my fisrt short films annd practice was actually watch many references that i wanted and get inspired by them on doing similar scenes, but not copying them, its crazy how much naturally the influences comes to you when ur going to build a scenario for a scene, and compose the lights, i was watching so much david fincher movies, and the Drive movie that my short film turned out to have a very good photography that reminded those movies
My approach was to take a screengrab of the frame, airdrop it to my iPad, then screen recording and use the pencil to draw all of the animations! I then bring that back into my editor for the video!
A lot of people forget that even a zve10 is way more capable than the very best professional film cameras that made most of the classic horror movies that defined the genre, even the cabinet of doctor Calgari had an adequate camera to tell a compelling story with a very influential aesthetic. Techniques and content matter way more than equipment
Hi! I am very new to this. Could you tell me why the video stutters at about 2:08 . I have that problem a lot and was wondering what causes it and how I may avoid it.
its funny because i own a lumic gh6 but i still shoot on my canon m6 mark II all the time despite its below average 4K video. i bet i could make shots like you did with it
Would love to see your HLG3 workflow. I'm still a beginner and have avoided using it even after hearing the benefits of its dynamic range and low light capabilities because I'm not sure how to set it up in Davinci Resolve. Love the video! Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
it turned out soooooo good i love it!!!! I have the zv e10 as well and i love. As i started the whole journey january 2023 and still learning with the kit lens, i am looking forward to stock up my equipment. Getting slowly to it. Already have some lights and other stuff but still a long way to go. Thanks for your video :D
Incredible video Ryan! It's very impressive how you're able to observe the shots and recreate them. You did an excellent job, specially with the first and third shots.

Ryan, I'm REALLY enjoying your channel man! Not everyone knows how much effort goes into making a video like this... I see you brother WELL DONE!!!
My man... thank you so so much. Means a lot
I agree it takes a lot of efforts good one ryan
Totally agree about @RyanKao and the same goes for your channel @jacques_crafford.
Yo the fist technique was dope, thanks!
No problem!!

@@RyanKao thanks man! Just bought the same lighting setup because of you and I appreciate that!
Keep us updated on the color grading video please!!!
this is insane! truly what makes something look cinematic is lighting

The perfection of the shot and almost identical image of the girl lying on the floor almost made me cry haha

These "Practicing Filmmaking the right way" concept is beautiful & original. Top notch work Ryan! 😄🙌🏼
this video appeared right on the day I decided to push myself to work more with my ZVe10 too. LOVED IT. Thanks for this Ryan!
So glad man. It’s truly such a great little camera
@@RyanKao i showed it to my wife and now she understands a new camera isn’t really what i need…. Might’ve been a mistake 😂😂😂
Any advice or videos on color grading 8-bit footage? this is awesome!

Great video! i just recently bought a zv-e10 and its nice to know you can get this amount of quality from a budget camera
you dropped TONS OF GEMS in this video. Thank you!

@@SwalihShafi-xj7iv Not looking f

Zve10 is the best mn, the quality can match up to expensive cameras, I love it!!!!

was kinda hoping for the Sony NEX-3
Awesome! Fully agree with you: its not about the latest camera but about story, location, and lighting!
Everything you touch is fireeeee 🔥🔥
Your wife is sooo pretty, and is amazing how she totally bought the ideia. Great. Loved it!
Ahh thank you. This made her day! She truly is one of a kind-I'm very lucky!

I stumbled upon this video - I'm not a videographer of any sort but I do love visual arts. And, I have to say, this video is incredible!
I am very impressed Ryan !
Great video, Ryan!
The knowledge of your eye and expertise really shows in this video. Truly a fun one to watch!!
Thank you so much Joseph. Glad to have you here!
Love my zv-e10. Glad yours is serving you well!!!
I'm rubbish at grading, but I can pull and push it far enough to get what I want and I'm glad for it 🤠
Hahaha same
It's such a power little package. Keep pushing it and challenging yourself and I'm sure you'll get there!
@@RyanKao thank you!
The Hardest part as always, is turning it on and getting started!!
Ryan, You are realy great ! We learn a lot from you. Thank you.
I appreciate that!
bro i just bought my firlm camera to make films as a hobby and seeing how close this dude gets on every frame is insane yooo
I really need to make good use of my Sony ZVE-10! This is inspiring. 🔥
This is so helpful, thanks a lot.
You're very welcome!
Thanks man. Finally I catch up the lesson that i've been skip many years ago.
These came out great! I can’t believe how close the bed shot was 😮😮
Thanks!! This was a fun one, I was equally surprised... 😅
@@RyanKao a testament to your dedication to your craft! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thumbs up thumbs up,coming from someone that loves to resemble things and try hard you guys did hit every scene on spot .new subby now
Really appreciate this!!
I've learned that the most important things to make a good image is Lighting, composition, and subject in that order. And of course above all you do these things to tell a good story.
This is super valuable. Hope in the next video you can recreate some outdoor shots from a movie
Great idea… more coming soon 👨🏻🍳🫡
I'm just mind blown by your creativity man, damn now I can see that without a budget, BUT with great ideas AND knowledge, you create such gems, although you do have a lot of material, the lights and stuff, so you do need to have a budget to create, but not the latest camera
Just bought zv-e10 as my first camera couple days ago, looking forward to master it
It's a great little camera! You'll enjoy it
Dude this was spot on bro. Thank you. Will practice with this idea.
Glad it helped!!
Thats really a important thing to do. The equipment means nothing if you know nothing about cinematography and composition. Nice vid and keep rockin, bro
I love this video sm. Your techniques and how you were able to recreate each scene was so well done, and so well explained. Thank you Ryan.
Ahh thank you so much! Really glad you got something out of it.
This video help me so much I got my new camera I don’t have anything take pictures of or videos but now I do copy what I see n movies show photography thank you
You are wonderful. Keep doing what you're doing.
Really appreciate this John!!
Absolutely brilliant. I appreciate your effort for teaching. Danka
Many thanks!!!
This was a piece of art congrats. I feel inspired to go out and try for myself now
Exactly what I want to hear!!

Absolutely love it! You too are amazing with your art and work and the way you work together and are passionate about what you do together.. is beautiful!

Thank you Tomas!! Cheers!
What did you use to colorgrade that? it is perfect!
Thank you. I colorgrade in Davinci Resolve!

Great video, Ryan. I think the ZV-1F is technically Sony's cheapest current mirrorless, but it's fair if we all pretend that thing doesn't exist
Love this series - my mind starts racing at what other movies to try to learn from by copying. Keep these coming!
Thank you very much!
no... thank YOU!
what i most did with my fisrt short films annd practice was actually watch many references that i wanted and get inspired by them on doing similar scenes, but not copying them, its crazy how much naturally the influences comes to you when ur going to build a scenario for a scene, and compose the lights, i was watching so much david fincher movies, and the Drive movie that my short film turned out to have a very good photography that reminded those movies
Really helpful to hear your thought process & ideas.
Well done mate! (You have to know this, this is my first youtube comment, I have been using this app for 10 years.)
9:10 Hey can I ask how you record these customized hand-drawn annotations?
I want to do the same kinda thing on top of playing video.
My approach was to take a screengrab of the frame, airdrop it to my iPad, then screen recording and use the pencil to draw all of the animations! I then bring that back into my editor for the video!
@@RyanKao Okay cool.
Maybe I'll try digital drawing on a solid color screen and chromakey it out to place over video.

Sorry if I missed you saying it but what was the light you were using handheld on the shots at the beach?
0:01
🔥🔥🔥 this is such a good exercise for cinematographers
You create cinema without 10 or 16 bit ❤🔥
would love to see you try on older mirroless sony's to show what you can really do with the cheapest like a nex 3 or 5 hell why not try the a5000
I love this. I can't believe how close you got to the originals. I also realize that I need to think outside of the box a bit to get a shot.
Dude. That's wildly impressive. Well done!
Can you please show how you set this camera to be able to film cenematic footages in details? I use slog3, but i saw you didn't.Thank you very much!
I bet you are watching this with one leg over the other ! 💫
brother how did you 😢😢, i seriously am!
My jaw dropped when I saw your comment because I sure am
This was scary😅
Lol 😂😂😂😂 true
Close, just placed my right foot beside my left leg
Not over
I have this lil camera and the FX3.
Any extra tips to make them match best would be cool, since I'm using them for interviews.
It will be a bit tedious, but you might consider using a similar conversion LUT from a company like Phantom LUTS!
Thanks @@RyanKao
I've got the Phantom LUTs for my FX3, just haven't yet used them for a 2 camera project.
it's amazing that these were shot with a camera that is under $1,000
I love this cinematography related content!
Hi! I am very new to this. Could you tell me why the video stutters at about 2:08 . I have that problem a lot and was wondering what causes it and how I may avoid it.
Uuuh such a joy to watch you guys breakthrough those scenes. ❤
the lesson from this video is "It's not about the camera, but it's about the lighting." 👍
I have a sony zve10 and I know I will be watching this video more than once
its funny because i own a lumic gh6 but i still shoot on my canon m6 mark II all the time despite its below average 4K video. i bet i could make shots like you did with it
Would love to see your HLG3 workflow. I'm still a beginner and have avoided using it even after hearing the benefits of its dynamic range and low light capabilities because I'm not sure how to set it up in Davinci Resolve. Love the video! Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Definitely inspired 🔥thanks for making this 🙏🏿
You’re very talanted!
Best of luck! And thank you for a cool video! 👍
This is amazing broo, btw what is your HLG3 settings? Is it just decrease the detail to -7?
it turned out soooooo good i love it!!!! I have the zv e10 as well and i love. As i started the whole journey january 2023 and still learning with the kit lens, i am looking forward to stock up my equipment. Getting slowly to it. Already have some lights and other stuff but still a long way to go. Thanks for your video :D
