Me, As a amateur person that just have bought this camera. Seeing how much potential it has and knowing to put all those editing skills u have is just mind blowing. I really enjoyed it. Great job.
This is fantastic. Beautiful camera work, movement, composition, editing and storytelling. I'm watching this at 6.30am on my phone so I'll have to watch it on the computer later to fully appreciate it.
Brilliant little film, I was blown away to see that this was shot on the A7III, a camera that is far from cinema quality yet you captured that indie cinematic look spot on. Great edit and use of music and sound as well, that brings it all home.
A well thought story and a great sense of composition. Guys like you are my inspiration to not give up on making such amazing films. I currently own Sony a7iii and i know this thing is a beast at its price. Keep making such amazing films and inspiring us. ❤️
Thats a really nice short film. I really like the color and most of the composition, but since the A7III has the ability to shoot in 4k I would've used it. Keep up the great work!
I agree! We only had a day to record this so I needed my autofocus to be on point at all times but on 4K it’s not very good so I made some sacrifices. The video was only going on social media so it was perfect :) Appreciate the feedback though!
I haven’t finished the video..but thought I’d come and comment..wtf is this bro? It’s soo fucking good. Very good work indeed and the actress is playing really well, great acting from her part too.
This was a wonderful short. Really liked how you used sound for pacing and as a way of letting viewers know that something was happening other than what we saw on screen. The ax chopping and heart monitor working in tandem was nice. Great shots. Nice work.
Loved it. I loved the beginning and middle but felt as if you ran out of ideas towards the end and wanted to close it pretty fast. I still loved it and would love to see a 45-90 min feature
Thank you!! hahaha you are correct! We were definitely running out of ideas because we didn't have a story board or anything for this, just had an idea of what I wanted in my head and that was about it. We only had one day to film at this location so we were for sure getting burned out towards the end. Thank you again for the feedback! Really appreciate it :)
Great work and awesome to see it on the a7!!!. I have been using it for photography for a while but just started using it for documentaries and short films. I also shoot in cine4. Which lens did you use? Great work.
Awesome job guys!!! I am shooting a short film tomorrow and the Black Magic we usually use isnt available so we are gonna use my A7iii. Honestly just as good in my opinion. With the exception of not being able to shoot raw. Did you film this in 4k. Awesome cinematography aswell!! Credits to the DP!!! As this inspired by the video game The Long Dark?
Yes! I’m so tempted to get the black magic but I love the autofocus on the a7iii too much. This whole video was shot by me and my girlfriend (the one in the video) so we don’t have much time to focus on manual focusing. And yeah, the only thing that sucks is that it doesn’t have RAW and 10bit :( but it still looks great! For this video we only shot on 1080p and because the autofocus works so much better. We really should have shot it on 4K though. I’m hoping to get the Sony FX3 soon. And OMG, I didn’t even think of that game when making this but I can see the similarities hahaha. We took inspiration from “the revenant” and “I’m thinking of ending things”
Dude this is insanely good!!! Hey I need a little advice. I also shoot on Sony a7III and I'm struggling to choose between Tamron 28-75 and Sony 24mm GM 1.4. I want to focus on shooting no budget short films and fashion type ads...which one do you think I should go for?
Hey I think I am late in replying. First of all a great job, everything was perfect but the color grade was the best. I am also going to shoot a film like this can you help me letting me know if you shot this in any log profile and then graded it later, or you put off the PP and took advantage of the nd filters. Your reply will help me a lot
Thank you brother ❤️ the trick is to just go out and do it haha. You’ll be surprised with the results as I was with this. let me know when you do make one, I’d love to watch it!
Your short film is brilliant ? What picture profile did you use and what were the settings ? Did you need to color grade or color correct it or is everything as is straight from the camera with no color grading ? Keep up the good work !
Thank you! and about 90% of the clips were autofocus! I absolutely love it and it let's me works faster and focus on other parts of the video haha. I also just suck at manual focus.
hahaha thank you!! Canada is actually such a beautiful place. We live in Saskatchewan, Canada so there really isn't much here. It's very flat and spacious. Visit Alberta instead if you want some amazing views :)
@@skyhighproductions Thanks for the tip! I'm planning on doing a road trip around Canada once Covid's over, so I'll pencil in Alberta! Btw, I loved your wedding videos. I'm wanting to do wedding videography but need a portfolio. Any tips on getting clients with no portfolio yet?
@@michaelschumann8175 hey sorry I didn’t see this sooner! The way we got started in weddings was by doing the first one free (they ended up loving it and paying us at the end anyways) and then after that we posted the wedding video on our portfolio. For the second wedding we only charged $500 and showed them what we could do with the previous wedding video. After that we charged $700 for the third wedding video. Honestly, just getting to do the videos is such a huge payment because you learn SO MUCH and you get so much experience. It’s honestly stressful but so fun and rewarding. Now we are really comfortable and just have fun during the day with the couples, plus we charge much more now :)
@@skyhighproductions Thanks so much! I really appreciate the advice! If my wedding videos are half as good as yours one day, I'll be stoked! Time to try and find a client :D
@@rediwolf5266 I think that was a bot cause that was not me commenting 😂 thank you for the feedback though! The actress was my fiancée, didn’t do any acting before so this was her first time!
I would love to start working on more tutorials, wanting to start eventually! Everything was shot in 1080p for better autofocus and then upscaled to 4k :)
Haha I agree. Looking back at it, it needs quite a bit of work. That’s the beautify of filmmaking though, you create, fail, then repeat :) Thank you for the feedback!
Congratulations for this amazing cinematographic work. One thing I"d change: These cams have amazing resolution and so do the kit lens. There is that crisp, digital look all over, and if you are very careful you will NEVER see that crisp sharpness in any Netflix series. As the same time I was watching your footage, I went back and forth to some Netflix series, two; Jessica Jones and Midnight Mass. Compared to these two series I found your color work fine. You did a good job, but these two series, even though they were filmed, I bet, with Alexas, don't show that "electronic" sharpness you have. I think you should try playing with more cinematographic lenses, old Nikkors and Canons maybe? Look at the faces and lines on the faces of the actors in those series, it's really soft, your footage is really harsh. YOu have an amazing can, don't pick up the sharpest lenses, not for fiction.
Hey man! I appreciate all the feedback! I'm just using the lenses and gear that I have available to me. I had a very run and gun set up since it was all recorded in one day with 1 actor and 1 camera man. I've recently purchased a black pro mist filter to get rid of some of that sharpening.
@@skyhighproductions My advice is don't use junk Netflix shows as a benchmark. Your images aren't too sharp. They look good. There's nothing wrong with a naturally sharp image anyway. (Though I think artificial sharpness done in post or by in-camera sharpening can introduce cheap-looking artifacts.) You shouldn't be making a soft image just for the sake of a soft image fad. Only do it if it helps evoke the story you are trying to tell with your images.
Ah, another RUclipsr who loves to complain about other people's creations but doesn't actually create anything himself... and no, your microwave content doesn't count.

Imagine thinking the a7iii is far from cinematic 💀 like bruh are you smoking spice or sum
Just Wow! You catch my eyes with your perfect composition! Unbelievable 🔥 Thank you for the inspiration!
THANK YOU! :)
I love this and the fact you shot in 1080. So many folks are hung up on 4k when it doesn’t have to be that way
It doesn’t have to be 1080 either🤷🏾♂️
@@browser37 right? I’ve been wondering how the older films were in resolution lately
A well thought story and a great sense of composition. Guys like you are my inspiration to not give up on making such amazing films. I currently own Sony a7iii and i know this thing is a beast at its price. Keep making such amazing films and inspiring us. ❤️
Cinematografy is DOPE!! great job

Appreciate that man :) She did such a good job, especially for someone that's never acted before!
This was a wonderful short. Really liked how you used sound for pacing and as a way of letting viewers know that something was happening other than what we saw on screen. The ax chopping and heart monitor working in tandem was nice. Great shots. Nice work.
Came here to see the limits being pushed from this camera, I stayed for the story... and that ending, wow.
Loved it. I loved the beginning and middle but felt as if you ran out of ideas towards the end and wanted to close it pretty fast. I still loved it and would love to see a 45-90 min feature

Great 👍🏿 production fantastic job 🔝🔝🔝🔝 love the grade also very cinematic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😀
WOW! This was amazing! Well done! And a very interesting story! :)
Thank you! :) that means a lot!
So flipping awesome man, great work 🎉
Great work on the cinematography, was looking to see if the A7III can pull it off, and from this film, it sure can!
Just one word: BRILLIANT
Que vídeo sinistro, qualidade incrível! Direção absurda de boa! Parabéns.
1080 its 😍🔥 In 4K the rendering must really be incredible 🤩🤩🤩🔥🔥🔥
Really good one!
This is just incredible
Killed that !!!
what a masterpiece!
What I got from that is you can’t just keep living life just to live. You need to find that something, that something worth living for
This is really cool! Inspiring!
Thank you! 🙏 🙏
Hi! Your cinematography is amazing! What mic did you used? The sound is so clear.
they did ADR Automated Dialogue Replacement
Almost all sound was from Epidemic Sounds :)
Nice one guys some cool locations :D
Thank you! :) The small towns around here are great for location scouting haha
Great work and awesome to see it on the a7!!!. I have been using it for photography for a while but just started using it for documentaries and short films. I also shoot in cine4. Which lens did you use? Great work.
Lol never mind I just read the title. I get so annoyed when people ask me questions that my title answers and yet here I am lol.
@@runningintohistory hahaha all good! I really appreciate the feedback though :) The A7III always seems to amaze me with every new shoot
Would be interested to hear which setting you were using? SLOG3 at 2000?
+++
Yes, pls tell us what settings (log and gamma) did you used?
This is awesome!!! What mic did you use to get the sound quality?
Beautiful shots. Great job
This is dope what are the settings for your a73?

Loved it !!
Epic done... great work !
Awesome production! How do you capture your audio for your films?
So cool! I can't believe it's shot by a73. It's absolute cinematic standard. I want to know the bts. Maximizing machine we have
wow this looked great!!
Thank you!! :D
Loved it! 🎬👏 So beautifully crafted! 🌟 Any plans for a sequel?
awesome just awesome no can say it shot on a73 if you don't mind can you please share the settings
The Last Of Us !!
Do you remember your picture profile / slog that you used?
Looks like a real movie
wow that's a HUGE compliment! Thank you!
How do you get soft crispy clean skin tones like that? That’s amazing.
Is this post-apocalyptic? If so, why are there any tracks or clear roads?
beautiful video. What Log did you use?
WAUW. This was amazing. Do you think there is a big difference between Tamron VXD and RXD?
EVERYTHING about this film was absolutely wonderful! EVERYTHING! except the ending…😒
Dude I don’t know u but I’m proud of you 👍
What a great video!! Did you use a lut on this? If so, what is it, bro? 😊

Thanks man!! And yes, the Tiffen variable ND filter!
Beautiful job. All shot with autofocus or manual? How was your experience with it? I’m thinking selling my pocket 6k for this one to be faster
Thank you! and about 90% of the clips were autofocus! I absolutely love it and it let's me works faster and focus on other parts of the video haha. I also just suck at manual focus.
Which picture profile did you use ? That is a beautiful cinematic look. Good job !
Thank you very much! The picture profile we used for this was CINE 4. We tried to keep colour grading similar to The Revenant
