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

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
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 * : )
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.
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
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.
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 :)
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
it means nothing without explosions
haahahaaa ;)
hahahahahhaha

Please watch this xDDD, I found this because of your comment.
Is that you ? Michael Bay?
directed by Michael Bay
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.
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
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

Lol
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?
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 :)
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?
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 honestly the only useful filmmaking channel on RUclips. You cut out all the bells and whistles BS and just talk about what's important.
this is one of the very few channels that actually teach you something and gives you great examples
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!
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.
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.
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.
Damn... now i have to wait a whole week for the next episode... :(
Nice video, thanks.
I know! Twice a week would rock!
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 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 ;(
I love that "Darkness all over hollywood"
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
Excellent point about the art department, which extends to all areas of professional filmmaking: very rarely are things not meticulously considered, chosen, and placed!
The shot of the glass of water was amazing, I was wondering how you did that! I agree with what you said - trying to find emotion in the shot to make it relate to the character more. Keep it up Simon!
I always learn from your videos. Thank you for every video you upload. Keep it up!
+Rebeca Cygnus you are welcome Rebeca :)
His way of talking and informating others is just amazing
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.
Great quality video! Your channel is a blessing to all aspiring filmmakers! :) keep it up!
Really nice, all best to you Simon!
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.
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
You sir, got me subbed! I love the way you explain things
You know exactly what you're doing!
The voice, the sounds, the tips and the shots! Wow! This video is so satisfying, it could cure cancer!
I don't have enough words to explain how much inspired I am right now. Thanks for this!
I prefer using Natural and Practical lights, it makes it look more natural, plus it can save a heck of a lot of time on set.
I was on a set once and we spent an hour lighting a corridor for a 30 second scene that's only use was just to show a character moving from one scene to the next, we didn't even use it in the final cut.
I just find it so annoying having to bounce light around a room :(
+BadMouseProductions Agreed, I'd say that lighting setup takes up a large majority of the time when it comes to getting a shot ready. It can get irritating at times!
+BadMouseProductions I feel most filmmakers completely set up lighting for the smallest scenes because they feel like it's what they're supposed to do, it's what they learned in film school. Like how we learn plot drives the story, when my favorite scene in Avengers 2 is when they're at the party, sitting and talking.
People forget it's the acting, the script, the story that makes film great. Not how expensive your equipment and budget is.
I feel film schools should give us a project where we shoot on just on our phones and the sound directly off say a zoom h4n, then try to make the scene as watchable as we can get through the acting and story while still trying to make it look good with what we don't have.
Shane Benjamson
Exactly. Great use of equipment/budget should never be the selling point of a film. It should only serve to enhance what is already good (story, performance, etc.).
+BadMouseProductions I agree that using natural light is great when you can. However, the thing I didn't mention in this video, was that I had the luxury of filming the one best shot in that room - it would be a lot harder to shoot an entire scene in natural light so it still looks good. Plus, I was shooting mostly close ups, which are by far the easiest to shoot in natural light. With long days where the light keeps changing, and wide shots where people are silhouetted against windows, it often becomes pretty essential to start using lights. However, i'm all for using artificial light in a way that looks as natural as possible, simulating sun light etc.
DSLRguide Good thing that Red One's with Raw capability are cheaper than URSA's :)
I was eating an apple while watching this.
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. :)
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
Damn that was a really informative video. Nice job!
Hi
thanks man! love the videos! The information you give helps out a lot
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
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!
Awesome video... you have a new subscriber ... first 30 seconds and I subscribed!!!
Amazin' stuff man am subscribing right now!
Amazing consistency on the subject without distracting the audience. I loved your composure -- the way you deliver.
Now, I believe that skills is more important rather than an expensive equipment. thanks i found your video. another gem to learn.
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 :)
Great video as always!
10/10 would love to spend a whole day just talking to you. Your view on life is refreshing and brilliant
I love your voice, not only is it calming but it’s also smooth. The information is amazing and direct!
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
Much respect! Thank you for the very beneficial videos!
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.
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.
You deserve the subscription man. Great content and great insight. Thank you
cheers Tarek :)
dude! you're a genius
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 :)
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.
So? What are you waiting for? Let's make a video guys
lucky febrian lets make one then
When I saw Whiplash my heart skipped a beat...This is an incredible and educational video, I really appreciate this. Thank you.
This video literally looks better than most low budget films.
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
very nice God bless
Felix Arias check my RUclips channel new unboxing ruclips.net/video/p_a-ud-A9KQ/видео.html
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!
this video is so eye - opening. you film makers are truly amazing.
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
Why do you make pauses after every 2 words? Makes me hard to listen.
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.
Nice point about the importance of props and their intentional design/usage in films. Easy to overlook.
Wow such nice frames!
You must have a rly good camera
+Smoke BT this video was shot on the Canon T3i
This probably sounds like a dumb question, but I use a t3i and was wondering if the lcd brightness on the camera screen matters when you're trying to set exposure in your videos?
+Logan McNay I just leave it at the middle setting - that way it won't make me think it's brighter or darker than it actually is :)
this dude never blinks.
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!!!
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
Will you someday finish your apple?
Video, voice, BGM... All of the sources are balanced super well! Awesome
I've been watching your videos for several days. You inspire me.
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
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

Thank you guys
The calmest voice I've ever heard.
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.
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
Did you shoot with the T3i's kit lens?
Nope he shoots with the tamron 17-55 f2.8
+Sajag Adhikari 17-50*
Young man...you are an exceptional story teller.
Its all about content no matter how beautiful the film looks
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.
I just love to hear you talking about film man, the passion is so obvious!
Excellent points in this piece. Nuance, detail- The gold & diamonds of any film piece. Good form.
Hey buddy love the cinematics getting a t5 soon and btw what is the font called I love it
