This guy understands film. The "Film Look" so many aspiring filmmakers strive for is a myth. It's not about a cool color grade with lots of blues in the shadows, a really strong vignette or depth of field. It's all about the use of the visual medium.
If you want a 'film look' then shoot on film. Simple
@@343.43 Tommy Wisau shot The Room on film. Your argument is invalid.
@@amsheel9921 yeah, and visually a lot of those scenes LOOK pretty decent. It's the terrible directing, writing, acting, that make the movie so bad. In fact its the strange contrast between the professional look but ridiculous content of the shots that I think aided in it's fame. Ill say it again, just shoot on film if thats the look you're going for
@@343.43 professional look? Hold on what the fu
@@343.43 This is it. ruclips.net/video/XDv-iV1gFgo/видео.html all of the comments are saying "wow this looks so timeless" -yeah, it was shot on primo film stock.
his voice cured my headache
sara kangas it's giving me a headache
Great video ideas but the music gave me a headache..... watched 38 seconds. Bye!
That's probably because he's microphone costs more than your hole house!😅
Mine too
@@santim0 whole*
man you aren't blinking
michiganfree that right
His eyes are set to BULB setting
Lmaooo
@@nasilemak868 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He does somewhere at 4:27
This is so brilliant it hurts. After hearing him talk about senses, I swear I could taste the apple he bites.
Actually he wanted that lol, it was an example. And I did taste it to
Me to
No lol
Lol you're such an English teacher
haha fair play
DSLRguide I have canon T3i but still can't get it to film clear / I used lens that came with cam, which is basic canon lens, I have all settings set but still doesn't look good shooting inside , y'all sat with iso don't go over 800 but if not than it will look dark , what all u have set cause I tried all I can with everyone settings and still no luck
DSLRguide
baltimore swagga , hey, you can get a 50mm Canon Prime lens for around $100, but it's cheaply made & very noisy. The best way to go is Vintage Lenses. You can get them Very cheap on eBay & they are just as good if not better than the expensive lenses out there. You will need adapters for certain lenses from r them to fit your camera ( only about $15 on Amazon ) One I highly suggest is the 58mm Helios Lens, it's a f1.4 which mean you can shoot in low light, it's very cheap & a Very good lens. Vintage Lenses are all manual focus lenses but that is better for video anyway, the lenses with motors in them make noise & don't do a good job at focusing from one point to another, and there are Many of these Vintage Lenses that are great for Photo & Cinema at prices anyone can afford $100 & less while the L-Series Glass from Canon will cost from $1000 to over $2000 & up. All you need is to practice shooting in manual focus.
Another tip is Magic Lantern, look it up on RUclips,, it is Amazing !! It's like having a Menu that the most expensive cameras don't have, HIGHLY SUGGEST IT !! Hope this helped some, let me know if you have any questions.
John Sides I honor ur info and wish more people in the comments help like you do, question ? where do I buy the lantern cause I checked every store where I live , how much does it cost , and how would I know how to install it the proper way without damaging anything , and if I get lantern do I need lens, hope all answers get answerd.
This is easily your best DSLRGuideTV video yet. The timed bite into the apple as a demonstration of a sensory cue was quite clever too!
I didn't pick up on that! Good point!!
+ilyPenn23 Excellent observation! I can almost taste the crispness of the apple and hear the crunch between my ears!
If you look at the video in question you will actually see him pull the apple from the fruit bowl. Then he bites it at the end of this video explaining the techniques used in original video. Wether intentional or not, it is a brilliant move * : )
The comfort of seeing that apple at the end of that video was incredible after missing it the last couple weeks
+conkerber YES!!!!! The comfort of seeing that apple at the end of that video was incredible after missing it the last couple weeks
Even if you basically know this stuff its great to have it affirmed and as a reminder in a video like this. I love this guy! I'm 43 and have worked professionally on film and TV sets a decent amount, but I find this young guy really inspiring! Keep it up!
+10FRANKTV cheers Frank!
same here. this guy KNOWS about video :)
This is so deep....... Especially after you changed that curtain green, it just proves that you have to design the setup of scenes to look nive too.
dude. first video watched of yours. really good stuff... thank you for the information.
ha ha, fancy seeing you here! I'm one of your subscribers.
I'll be.next hahahah
I think the biggest production expense he has for this show is probably the apples.
+TARDIS Maker I bet he inserts the apple in post production ;)
Hahahaha!! Good one!
+intensity digital nah, it was cgi
***** yea looking back at it you're probably right
He has a apple sponsor
HAHAHA that was a brilliant ending! Very unexpected.
Love how you changed the song and pulled the apple out from nowhere.
Up to that point the music was very cinematic, moving, and expansive. Absolutely loved the drum groove and big room sound on that track.
Music credits?
+Tim Blackburn Cheers Tim :) I wrote the music actually - it was probably the most fun i've had writing music for a long time
Who did the drums?
I did (on a keyboard not a live kit)
+DSLRguide Thats brilliant man, it sounds like a real band playing in a big room. Really the whole production is very well put together. Great job.
+David Penn he's not here for the cash, that's why he's so successful
it means nothing without explosions
haahahaaa ;)
hahahahahhaha

Lol
It is your channel, which I quickly subscribed to after a few videos, that gave me the courage to delve into film making. At an older age, and not a rich man, this means a lot
to me.
Your channel is changing the lives of people around the globe.
Thank you for your wisdom, years of hard work and experience.
When I watch Your videos, something in my head screams: "Let's make a movie! MAKE-A-MOVIE!!!" ;)
go for it!!!
Hik Nik Did you listen to your head and make a movie?
great episode! It is amazing how you bring a new perspective to an aspect of filmmaking every week. It makes the channel feel really fresh. I'm excited to see your new short!
I love the amount of intuition and creativity involved in your process of framing shots. Your videos inspire and teach so many aspiring artists and I thank you for that. I can't wait to try out of some of these techniques in my next video :)
He's right to say that a firm grasp on story guides the particulars of the shots, but never hurts to be more technical
this is one of the very few channels that actually teach you something and gives you great examples
Wow Simon! you do video very beautiful visually, I'm from Colombia and I'm studying film in college, you have shown me a much better insight respect you have filmmaking, much better than my 2 years in college...
*Congratulations, today I sign this youtube channel is the best I've encountered. Thank you for making these videos* :D
Brian Sebastián Ramírez are you a filmmaker now?
Damn... now i have to wait a whole week for the next episode... :(
Nice video, thanks.
I know! Twice a week would rock!
lovely - the sensory stuff like the candle and humour with the apple at the end was great advice and something new film makers often overlook. Nice work.
I love that this breaks down the cinematic look to deliberate composition of the piece for a specific mood, then arranging the composition to be aesthetically pleasing
So cool. Old video, still 150% relevant. When I did macro/insect photography back in the day, people always used to say "you must have an expensive camera!" - completely negating the hard work, knee-grinding, face in the dirt, lens scratching, sunburning effort that goes into getting under a shrub, and waiting for a bee to fly past at the right distance and time.
It's about light, and only light. Light is what film and photo is made of, and using it as paint is the end goal.
Your videos are insightful and inspiring simon. Many thanks.
I always learn from your videos. Thank you for every video you upload. Keep it up!
+Rebeca Cygnus you are welcome Rebeca :)
I love that "Darkness all over hollywood"
Great quality video! Your channel is a blessing to all aspiring filmmakers! :) keep it up!
Please know that you're making an impact. Just purchased a Canon EOS Rebel T5i and will be binge watching all of your previous content to get up to speed as I build out my RUclips channel and take my business to greater heights. THANK YOU for the amazing content and for setting the bar for me with regard to look and feel. It (and you) are stellar.
I thank God for sight and sound. Being able to experience these marvelous works of art - pictures, scenes, effects, narrations made me understand that there is much more to life! Thank you.
I see what you did there with the apple :D
what
I thought the same thing.
I need a red apple right now!
That voice aghh now I'm craving for apples ;(
Damn that was a really informative video. Nice job!
Hi
Really nice, all best to you Simon!
I love your voice, not only is it calming but it’s also smooth. The information is amazing and direct!
Video, voice, BGM... All of the sources are balanced super well! Awesome
You know exactly what you're doing!
You sir, got me subbed! I love the way you explain things
Amazin' stuff man am subscribing right now!
The voice, the sounds, the tips and the shots! Wow! This video is so satisfying, it could cure cancer!
This was so mesmerizing. The camera shots, the instructor himself and the music. I have never paid any attention to any other filmmaking videos as much as this one - I watched the whole video. Thanks.
Very nice. I shoot with a T5i and have been thinking about installing magic lantern to get the RAW video features. But the file sizes are too big for my current set of SD cards. Can you give it a try and make a video on it to see if RAW is worth it, since our cameras have the same sensor?
+Diogo Almeida I'd like to see this video too
+Diogo Almeida magic lantern is amazing, not only for RAW (if your camera even can), but the features it adds are an absolute must!
+DAYWALKER I like the features but I've heard of bugs and frame drops only observable in post. That's what scares me. Having to shot again because of a bug
***** Thats most likely a very small amount of cases, Im not sure how the firmware behaves on a t5i, but on my 7D, it does everything that I want it to do. If it is buggy, you can simply uninstall ML off the card and you're back to normal firmware
+DAYWALKER I know, I am just afraid of having to Re-do a scene
This may sound ridiculous and entitled but I've been writing a story for some time that i plan to make into a book series and hopefully a film series. And I would love for you to direct it. Just a thought though. Anyway keep making videos
+Kyle Castaway if you send it to dslrguidance@gmail.com I'll take a look at it, no guarantees :)
I'm sorry the book isn't finished yet, but the main Idea is. Sorry if I was misleading I just couldn't let this opportunity pass without at least trying. I was more thinking it was something that could do in the future. I just know your gonna get big and wouldn't be able to read all the comments. So I just thought I should say something now. So still interested?
Kyle Castaway No problem Kyle - no matter how many comments there are, i'll always be on the look out for a good script, so do email me it as soon as it's done :)
DSLRguide Thanks I will
+Kyle Castaway Go on ! I wish you'll never give up :)
Awesome video... you have a new subscriber ... first 30 seconds and I subscribed!!!
Nice point about the importance of props and their intentional design/usage in films. Easy to overlook.
I don't understand why there are people who dislike this video. It's just so information packed, filled with awesome cinematic shot examples, and his voice is calming and so easy to understand!
I was eating an apple while watching this.
You deserve the subscription man. Great content and great insight. Thank you
cheers Tarek :)
love you and you're intro
sorry I'm German, I meant 'your'
+Fedor Brockmann just say you're not so good with English language. nationality got nothing to do with that lol
im indian nd iam not sorry
Puzzle Play Bobs and vagene
I don't have enough words to explain how much inspired I am right now. Thanks for this!
Damn dude, such an informative video. The passion you have for film is incredibly obvious in the way you structure your videos. Keep up the good work!
very nice God bless

Hey Simon have you ever used vintage lenses on your 600d? I used a vintage 50mm that I got for £25 and it was just as good if not better than my Canon 50mm!
Is the 50mm the new 1.8 STM, or the old one?
Yes thats the canon one that I have, the new one, don't get me wrong its a great lens! But if you're on a budget look into the vintage lenses.
+Monshark Media with new lenses you are not paying for better lenses per say. You're paying for the quiet STM motor, and better quality build. That's why only a few are using vintage ones.
***** Yeah only a few vintage ones are really worth it the ones I have at the moment are great! One I bought and the rest I got from my Granddad, they also focus in without much noise but obviously not as quiet as the STM Motor
+Monshark Media I only use a couple of Minolta ones I have from my dad's old film SLR
How did you make alot of those shots have absolutly no grain
here are my tips for shooting in low light: ruclips.net/video/Flh31ZosL-Y/видео.html
Excellent point about the art department, which extends to all areas of professional filmmaking: very rarely are things not meticulously considered, chosen, and placed!
You are fantastic. I haven't felt inspired for a good while, and this little video has me up and grabbing the camera again. Thank you for that
that's awesome!
Is a Nikon D7100 Good for this?
Like he said it doesn't matter what camera you use. It matters what's in front of it. That said... the D7100 is an amazing camera!
Great. all your advice helps me in my Vlogs- Thanks a lot.
Olly Lama check my RUclips channel new unboxing ruclips.net/video/p_a-ud-A9KQ/видео.html
So? What are you waiting for? Let's make a video guys
lucky febrian lets make one then
But in the low light how do you get the shot not to be noisy? Is it the lense quality?
try this video for some advice: ruclips.net/video/Flh31ZosL-Y/видео.html
DSLRguide
Thank you guys
Dude, seriously, I could watch your videos for hours. This one is six minutes long, and at the end I'm just thinking "more, I want more!" Thanks for making such great, instructive, and watchable videos!
cheers Collin, I appreciate that :)
omg same
I honestly love everything about this video. From the music, to the advice, editing, the shots, etc... You my friend have earned a sub, and now I am going to go watch almost all your videos instead of studying.
haha thanks Timothy, that means a lot :)
To get that cinematic look how many frames per second do you use?
24
I use 60 fps cause I do alot of slow motion
Wondering how you achieve the handwritten font. Do you write it yourself or is it an actual font? Love it.
here's how: ruclips.net/video/2Aqk8OaIyXg/видео.html
So so excellent! I'm so happy to have stumbled upon this channel. You're work is great. Many thanks.
Did you shoot with the T3i's kit lens?
Nope he shoots with the tamron 17-55 f2.8
+Sajag Adhikari 17-50*
I lost this channel ages ago and it was recommended to me and I was so happy I found your channel again because it's so helpful
Ive seen a few of your tutorials now and I must say...you keep things logical all the time. Everytime I begin to dig too deep to try to accomplish something in film, I watch one of your tutorials bcuz they are full of simplistic yet very logical solutions. Tx Man! You are an ingredient to tone me down. :)
Hey buddy love the cinematics getting a t5 soon and btw what is the font called I love it
what's the name of the song playing in the background
I wrote it for this episode
DSLRguide wow you are really talented
DSLRguide thats hot
please UPLOAD it somewhere!
ambient stuff like this is great for software development!
first video watched of yours and subscribed
What settings do you use on your t3i? like aperture and such
these are the settings I use: ruclips.net/video/l_0jn9J_DUo/видео.html
I'm not a film maker. I don't have a RUclips channel. I don't even particularly like watching movies but this video was super interesting. Time and time again, I enjoy watching knowledgable people discuss the ins and outs of the art they are passionate about, even if I have no interest in it.
All that to say, keep it up man. You're doing good stuff.
Amazing consistency on the subject without distracting the audience. I loved your composure -- the way you deliver.
Im going to buy a dslr to record videos of interviews. After a long research I confimed Canon 700D. but today I discover the 700D has a video recording time limit. but I need at least 60min of continuous vdo recording. so what will I do now. please help me. @ DSLRguide. please
Canon EOS 80D is awesome. AF on video is just wonderful. Check it out from channel
Use a secondary camera and cut to that when the first one stop. Alternatively, modify the camera with magic lantern or get a camera like the black magic.
+shaymys armstrong if I modify my camera with magic lantern will it record continuously ? will there be a problem with the camera hardware?( some of youtuber reviewed that magic lantern will not be ok). if i go with magic lantern how long the dslr vdo can be shoot?
+Filman Santiago - SFNF 80D is out of my budget. Im sorry. Thanks for your suggestion.
Souvik Bala No worries. Cheers!
I really love these videos but this guy makes me hyperventilate because of his random and constant pauses between words in a sentence.
Normal stuff like getting splashed with water, getting slapped or having someone put a knife against your trought.
We all know what that feels like....
Simon = Total Ghetto
Now, I believe that skills is more important rather than an expensive equipment. thanks i found your video. another gem to learn.
I just love your channel! Your videos might not be the sharpest or of the highest technical level but your content makes up for it a hundred-fold! You really give me inspiration and remind that it is not all about the technology and quality but about the story and how you tell it visually.
should i get the t3i or t2i??
+Pharaoh Knighton What are you going to shoot with it?
+Pharaoh Knighton Canon t3i it has agc controls, and thats the difference.
I have been a Canon shooter for over 30 years. I recently sold all of my Canon EOS equipment and moved to Sony. I am glad that I make the move and have been very happy with the results that I have been getting. I just shot a Feature film with a used $200 NEX5r and it looks great. Spend as little on the camera as possible. It is the lighting and the lens that makes the most difference. the best camera today will be worthless in a short time but good glass is forever. For example the Trailer and the shot of the director with the lights behind him were both shot on the NEX 5r. Check them out on our Kickstarter page.
page www.kickstarter.com/projects/460653484/the-tempter-if-devil-knocks-at-your-door-do-you-an?ref=nav_search
DIYCameraGuy a short film.
+Pharaoh Knighton i'd say the t3i - only because it has a rotating screen, which I find myself using all the time.
So... Are you now using the T5i (700D)?
no. not yet. Although an upgrade wouldn't be bad for him.
He made a vid about how he doesn't want to upgrade
tbh wish he did... he has already got the experience but im sorta rooting him to upgrade to something like a 70d or t6s
I like it, it gives me a lot of strength knowing that i don't need a better camera, and the difference in quality is a fraction worse.
I honestly think he shouldn't. The T3i is not that obsolete, and it gives his low-budget fans some hope that new technology doesn't necessarily make a film better.
Step 1: Buy a 1237347$ camera
The canon t3i isn't even that expensive it's like 500 dollars new and 300 used lol.
Great video man! When I saw this and knew I was already doing these things, I got really happy to know someone else is filming like I am. Keep filming man!!!
10/10 would love to spend a whole day just talking to you. Your view on life is refreshing and brilliant
this guy sounds like crocodile Hunter or is it just me?
This video felt so long.
i pity your wife if you think 6 minutes is a long time
1:35 - you're clearly English, why have you spelt colour like an American??
And again, calling it the T3i, which is surely the American name?
lmfao indeed, Larry. Because it really grinds my gears when British RUclipsrs use Americanisms. He may as well just go the whole hog and put on a New Jersey accent whilst he's at it...
maybe it's because most of his audience is American and most of the world calls the Rebel T3i a T3i. I know, I know, just think about it tough.
His way of talking and informating others is just amazing
It's funny and ironic. I went to film school in Vancouver to learn all the tricks and trades of film, only to work in the film industry business, and I would always turn to this channel for advice, tips and reminding me how the film process works and making a movie is always fun.
That's what I've learned from this channel and will always support it. What's even funnier, is that I'm older than him and he has better advice than me XD
is it just me or is his eyes, nose and mouth too small in comparison to the size of his face?
this video is so eye - opening. you film makers are truly amazing.
Was just looking to buy a Canon T6i when I stumbled across this video, and man did I learned so much more than I bargained for... Thank you so much DSLRguide!!!
This vid reminds me of another example. If you give an artist and a inartistic person the same pencil, one will produce art, the other will write or scribble. The pencil didn't create the art, the artist did using the pencil. The camera and equipment are not tantamount to perspective.
I've been watching your videos for several days. You inspire me.
I'm an owner of a Canon T3i and I can't get this "cinematic" look of your vids. Your tips and advice here are very inspiring for those beginner filmmakers - I'm including myself in this label - who are trying to do good looking videos with a limited gear and budget.
Greetings from Bogotá, Colombia. Excellent channel and content.
I came back to subscribe and like this video because 8 years ago I watched your videos when getting started with video with my canon rebel. Had to come back to recognize real talent.
Simon, you're the best man. Hope you get your own feature one day.
When I saw Whiplash my heart skipped a beat...This is an incredible and educational video, I really appreciate this. Thank you.
Young man...you are an exceptional story teller.
i use a T2i, it does shoot Raw, and is a nice DSLR.. I now have no excuse to making a mistake, I NEED to make the best cinematic films.
Truly wonderful. Best filmmaking tutorial I've seen in years...
I love the tones you use on your videos! I have no idea how to edit both photos and videos yet but I'll follow your videos when I get my entry-level DSLR to try editing. Thanks for putting on these videos which are really helpful for a beginner like me.
Without doubt, you are one of the most talented people I watch on youtube, being so young I think you will do some great work if you continue.
You're one of the best guys on RUclips man, an almost perfect video. Subbed.
