I was super excited that you featured Lily Gladstone in this! I dunno if this is a one time thing, but it made me that much more interested in the video!
I subscribed to Crash Course for history and you guys have expanded into film, which is the BA I just acquired. I am struggling mightily to find work, these lessons help a ton. keep it going!
You have to keep in mind that 50mm is only equivalent to human eye vision on a full frame (25mm) film/sensor size. With APS-C sized sensors, a 35mm lens is equivalent to human vision.
I’m loving this video series! Comment for 3:10, the shutter SFX was distracting from your voice, which was supposed to be the focus. I would have only added like 2-4 shutter sfx 😊 thank you for the content! Excited for the rest ! I’m currently lead producer/screenwriter for a short film and I’m excited to see it come to life
Hey love the things you do on this chanel but i wanna give an idea i think for the next educational program you shoud do music theory i think that could be exiting
awesome! I hope you can talk about how criticizing a film is much more complicated than just giving it a rating, and saying it's 'good' or 'bad', But how it's more complex, vith variations of technical skills, style, genre, culture etc etc that all are factors in judging a movie in relation to its quality, value and popularity
You forgot to mention the person resposable for putting up the so called "Video Village" and put up all the different monitors for the crew and also is responsible for recording playback and providing instant playback to the director. The so called Video Assist Operator, or Video Assist for short *raises hand*
Got way too technical for me, but still fascinating! I know there are technophiles that would love this aspect of movie making. A+ for highlighting different jobs/fields/needs of the industry...it takes all kinds!
emulsion-film cameras are still cool, cos you can use lasers to capture a holographic bifringence pattern, for like holograms and stuff; or so I hear. Imagine a feature-length holographic, Stop-motion film... ...with my limited understanding, I feel like it could be projected through a traditional projector yet result in a movie that appeared 3D without the need of glasses; and it would be a true-er 3D, because instead of just 2 overlapping images: it would be a near infinite number of near-identical images that are of the scene veiwed from different angles [instead of just the 2 (normally used) (which would also be more inclusive to one-eyed people, cos they could still look/glance side-to-side to get that fun illusion of depth without the two eyes that are normally required (I guess if a mono-cloptic person were The Flash and could move each lense of a pair of 3D glasses back-and-forth really impossibly super faster-than-sound fast while they tilted their angle of veiw slightly, they could still get some 3D but, it wouldn't be as fun nor easily achieved) in a hologram, there is better parallax, so you have more freedom to explore the image)] -- again, my knowledge is limited, but it's fun to think about!😁 I want it so bad!!! It would be SOOO cool!!!!!!!! Someone could entice Nintendo to make more of those little stopmotion Pikmin shorts, but film them under a holographic RGB set-up, and then have them released as little 1-reelers for home projectionist/hobbyists, and also for special events and whatnot, WOULDN'T THAT BE COOL!!!!?????
Note: when I say: "RGB lasers"; I mean 3 distinct "Red" "Green" "Blue" light lasers, taking turns to create and overlapped exposure, one at a time or whatever; I get that most lasers are usually monochromatic due to their nature. In retrospect I just shoulda clarified, otherwise people will/would've laugh[ed] at my grasp on lasers. I'm not a laser technician, but I know enough to know that they're not magic, just 'basically-magic'
Can't find where you guys talk about angles. Lots of great detail on framing and movement, but there wasn't any direct discussion of how camera angles work. Did I miss something, or is it just not there?
How much of the language of film is universal and how much is arbitrary and learned? Could film have evolved differently and have different conventions of what different types of shots mean, or is there some underlying basis for why these are what the shots mean?
It's complicated to be sure. We are conditioned to understand film language subconsciously through years of watching films so all new film techniques have learned from those that came before. A lot of what is now film language previously existed as the language of still photography and a lot of that came from previous art forms. (It's not that unusual for film directors to cite painters as an influence on their visual style.) Also some of film language is built on the camera replicating human reactions to situations e.g.. we are drawn TOWARDS things we find attractive but RECOIL in horror from things which frighten us. Also we tend to look DOWNWARD towards those we have power over (like children or small animals) but upward to things which awe or intimidate us. Our eyes tend to focus the things which hold our attention at any given time so if the camera holds and object or person in the centre of frame or keeps it in focus as other objects blur then we can't help but sense it's importance. Changes between these frames then imply a change in the situation we are witnessing (ie. a focus pull could suggest on character drawing attention away from another).
Isnt the standard for cine lenses t stops rather than f stops? F stops measuring the opening of the aperature and t stops measuring the amount of light that is let through the aperature
You're wrong about ISO. It's from the International Organization for Standardization, not the International Standards Organization. Because 'International Organization for Standardization' would have different acronyms in different languages (IOS in English, OIN in French for Organisation internationale de normalisation), its founders decided to give it the short form ISO. ISO is derived from the Greek isos, meaning equal. Whatever the country, whatever the language, it is always ISO. And it's pronounced "ISO", not "I-S-O", for the millions of people who always get that wrong.
Nope. t stop is a concept that REALLY tricky to explain especially when just beginning to understand this stuff. Most people (not all) will be working with lenses (or cameras) that use f-stops and it translates directly from still photography. - Nick J.
Strange as it may seem, there are some things that can't be learned from the internet. In school you (hopefully) have professors who are experts in their field who can give you direct feed back, make professional connections for you, and generally help you on your specific path. A video series, while a great introduction, will never be able to do that.
Hey Dumbass yes I imagine the hands-on part is key. For example, you can learn about science on the internet, but learning science in college gives you access to hands on lab experience.
Also, knowledge is presented way more systematically. On the internet, you might stumble upon a very introductory course like Crash Course but when looking for further information, find some video about a very specific issue that doesn't really help you. Or a video by some nutjob who presents his own crackpot theory. Or a video by someone who just didn't really understand what he's talking about. Sure, it can be done, for the theoretical stuff (the point of the previous posters about practical advice, professional feedback, and networking still applies). But the time and energy required to do it right, is substantial, and it requires a lot of self-discipline to get anywhere.
Had to re-upload because of a glaring error that I missed. Very sorry, but here's the fixed version!
- Nick J.
CrashCourse love youre videos
So, what was wrong?
The animation was depicting focal RANGE and not focal length. I just missed it because the animation was so cool.
- Nick J.
good on you for fixing that.
Thanks-- the new illustration is fantastic and worthy of the Crash Course name.
I think this might be my favourite CrashCourse series to date...
Yess! Can we dedicate a whole episode to camera movements and framing?? :)
Lily is a fantastic presenter. I love the delivery and cadence of her line reads here!
Wow, as a fellow filmmaker I did not think CC would start doing film production videos! Thank you so much guys!
The focal length always confused me before. Thanks for the good explanation :)
I hate that dabbing animation with the fury of a thousand suns
Ssgt Griggs I’m hoping that when they do sound that guy is used to demonstrate something with the wilhelm scream.
Ssgt Griggs I came to the comment section to say just that
They fixed the focal length thing!! Love you!
What was the issue before? I ask because it could be a common mistake.
Thank you so much! I am soon going to start shooting one minute films using my 100D and this is really helpful.
Love from India❤
Mr IY Vlogs keep it up
It is always useful this type of videos. I loved the videos of film history, but this ones are equally entertaining. Thanks!!!
Is there an art history course (coming)?
CRASH COURSE PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS PERSON
Yes, crash course listen👆👆👆👆👆
yes pleaseeee
Aperture Science...I get it now.
We do what we must, because we can.
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead...
Thank you CrashCourse for recreating the lens animation! :)
I LOVE YOU CRASH COURSE!
i love the dabbing 😭😭
Wow. Concise yet comprehensive. Great host too. I'm impressed.

Shout out to the Spike mini pop
This series may be one of my favorites from Crash Course
I found this very useful thx

I would have only added like 2-4 shutter sfx 😊 thank you for the content! Excited for the rest ! I’m currently lead producer/screenwriter for a short film and I’m excited to see it come to life
6:06 The language and artistry of framing, angles and camera movements.
Ooooosh!! Black Series K-Mart Exclusives!!!
Hey love the things you do on this chanel but i wanna give an idea i think for the next educational program you shoud do music theory i think that could be exiting
CRASH COURSE PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS PERSON
Loved it !!
It would be great if you guys make a Photography course!
that little dabbing man is awesome and adorable
😂
4:26 to 4:37 was in a previous video. Now this series is on film production... come on editing team... ;)
great series! can you do film analysis next?
That's the plan. We'll be doing 15 episodes of Film Criticism. :)
- Nick J.

I love this! Any chance of Crash Course (still) Photography down the line?
I’m here bc of my film appreciation class and I’m out of school bc of corona
6:20 😏
She is wonderful
Lily is amazzzzzzing
I sweearrrr she's Mamrie Hart + JLaw + Winnie Cooper. Combining all things glorious: a TV show, an actress, and a RUclipsr.
Did it have to be dabbing?
another triumph! +/or i had no idea how little i knew
Educational!
Can you explain filter settings? Like 1/4 1/16 1/64.
Shaky cameras? The Bourne series!
What is it called when the camera is moving all over the scene and between the characters? A mobile shot?
Hollywood is waiting for us!
Short Documentaries every one is for him self, it's one in a million chance 😁
hasan wahab : What is?
CMOS = Sea Moss :)
This was also what I wanted to say. Obviously she did not learnt MEMS or even EE. lol. Great series anyway.
Was that a Spike figurine? Interesting how I just finished the Buffy series.
Nick is great
Spike!...and Ash!
YES!
- Nick J.
I see what you did there

I cannot find episode 3?
Is there a new video coming out today?
Yes, It shows the Martian invasion.

Stop the dabs
♫Aperture science, We do what we wan't.. because.. we can.♫
Can you make a video on women in film please? Love these! Thank you!

Can anybody tell the names of books behind her?

Its about time you start a crash course university.
As a programmer and dabbler in photography, this was a fantastic breakdown of the basic elements. Great work!
can you please English subtitle here?

Just turn on the captions.
Wow this host is sooooo pretty!

This is Apeture, this is Apeture, test subjects die once they're inside.
She's wearing Jay Leno's shirt!
even crash course has an army
what's another word for tripod?
2:05 yo sangwoo
Am I the only one that is missing the T-stops?
Nope. t stop is a concept that REALLY tricky to explain especially when just beginning to understand this stuff. Most people (not all) will be working with lenses (or cameras) that use f-stops and it translates directly from still photography.
- Nick J.
CrashCourse but it could be mentioned, right?
OMG I think I love you.
Really should have been more about lighting. But this was still good.
I'm thinking on becoming a RUclipsr. Will this information be useful to me when I make videos? Will I need to know this stuff? 🤔
What were the Funko pop figures, is it blade runner?
Just a note, CMOS is pronounced as SEE-MOSS, not C-M-O-S.
Why would it be a smart decision for anybody to go to a 60,000K film school when they have the internet instead?
Evanger the Media Mogul Only reason I can think of : connections and hands on high-end movie equipment.

Not only is going to film school not smart, it's actually incredibly stupid. Would not advise, unless you're rich & have nothing better to do.
She's great but I also really liked Craig Benzine, can he come back in another series?
Now I know What the F , F stops are Thanks !!
Veterinary
why not do crash course photography?
but the dab must DIE
cine lenses use t-stop
Fan-yos-tic guys
im a loser with no friends and my face is shaped like a square
ikr
Your face doesn't look like a square, actually
Deja Vu?
The pacing is too fast for someone not already familiar with the material to process without hitting pause
I want to be an director
Lily is hot.

Call me.
this videos would sound more interesting if Craig[the eagle punching guy] did them #sad
In your clips use better movie examples than modern, Hollywood tripe.

first?
Second?
