    1. Use at least 1 light source. LOW light, not NO light...
    2. Use backlight, edgelight, sillhouettes
    3. Properly expose your subject's midtones
    4. Use a wide aperture

    Hi, guys!
    I just want to say "Thank you!". Not only for this particular video, but for the whole content of yours, that you've dedicated all this time to present.
    You are absolutely amazing for the creators out there like me, who are far away from being absolute professionals. You've helped me a lot and actually saved me plenty of unnecessary expenses that I was going to have, if I've never trusted your judgement first.
    So, again, I've just wanted to say "Thank you!" to all of your team for the endless knowledge you gave us and you keep on giving!
    You're an absolute guideline and a truthful beacon for the creators globally, doesn't matter the part of the planet they are coming from!

    You forgot to mention to use your damn waveform monitor, histogram, light meter or better yet a combination of all 3. The 1st two are usually built into the cameras menu. Also doing a black balance (depending on camera’s functionality) make a world of a difference. Also invest in a color checker card for accurate color, whites and blacks. And last tip. Do camera tests Before production to find out your camera’s limitations in low light and just stay within those parameters, adding light when necessary. Damn, I feel like a FullTime Filmmaker instructor, giving all this knowledge for free 😝

    one quick question: is there any particular reason why the video is at 1080 and not 4k? having good-expensive equipment I would go 4k all the time...or maybe not?

    • @fussanchez2716
      @fussanchez2716 4 года назад +11

      The benefit to having 4K is mainly flexibility in post. Being able to punch in on subjects digitally without any perceived loss of quality is great. Additionally, shooting 4K DOES MAKE your 1080p export sharper. Unless your project absolutely NEEDS 4K, like major film release, high quality demo reel, or old film restoration, for most people's needs, shooting in 4K and exporting in 1080p is a good workflow.

    • @stevenuseda6317
      @stevenuseda6317 4 года назад +5

      Fus Sanchez that's true but on RUclips posting in 4K will look better as you get a higher bitrate

    • @johansermartinez9287
      @johansermartinez9287 4 года назад +3

      Yeah a lot of things especially for TV and Cinema are shot at a higher resolution and exported in 1080. I was part of Shark Week commercial shoot and they shot it on a RED at 5K and exported for TV at 1080. But obviously something that was shot in 5K exported at 1080 will look better than something that was shot in 1080 exported at 1080.

      It's probably just 1080p on your device. My phone is only 720p, so that's all that RUclips will show for me. If you have a big 4k/8k TV, it'll probably show up in 4k.

    While every camera and LOG profile is different, LOG usually does not introduce more noise. You can always bring those shadows back down in post if you record in LOG and you'll still get more information for the highlights. Gerald Undone has done a great video about exactly that and shown that LOG profiles do not cause noise.
