LATE DROP! What's one thing you wish you knew before you started shooting?
i hope one day I will be like You ......keep updating us
I wish I learned how to say “no” earlier to some projects, would’ve been able to catch up on sleep instead of “fixing it in post!”
Everything! If only I knew these tips in earlier like in 2014 when I start learning how to shoot videos. Well, I just learn from my mistakes. Great video YCImaging! I'm a big fan of your work!
To shoot in a flat picture profile. I used to shoot on the standard picture profile on the Canon M50. Learning about dynamic range/flat picture profile and applying it really gave me much more room to color grade in post.
William Hall BRO! Me too man. I use to wait on set allll day for unprofessional artists
Yes female viewer here. Thank you lol
Felisha S I appreciate you a ton, that was for you.
seconded :)
forreal tho!
Lol same!!! Lady check in 😂
We're out here too! 😄
.02% dang more females need to join the squad
Brittani Jackson Really tho!
Shoutout to my fellow 0.02% 😂💜👍 We here lolol
Kitana Blade Lmao I appreciate y’all.
😂 Hey back!!
Great video! One of 100 things I wish I knew back: Turn off autofocus, turn manual and do not touch it. Just try to keep focus moving after the subject. This is huge. Makes your video sooooo cinematic. You can leave someone out of focus if you want then come back and so on.
When i started AF wasn't even a thing lmao. I would shoot at f/1.8 and have everything outta focus smh.
I was forced into learning Manual Focus. Lol Haven't gone back since. I couldn't figure out how to change something in Auto, that i could in Manual---So manual its been and I'm glad, because it made me learn my camera more
@@YCImaging
Lol when u don't know you don't know but hey you know now and so I thank you for your struggles and the sharing of them so that we won't have to unless we choose to.
@@YCImaging you suck
I used to agree with this but autofocus has gotten so good that in a lot of cases I think it looks great.
Proper planning. You save a lot of time when you do your research on the site you'll be shooting at, put together some story boards, determine what look you want to go for, and brain storm with the client to determine their expectations. As you also said, people generally see something you've done before and they want something similar to that which helps.
''You can NOT do everything yourself and until you notice this, you never gonna get to that next level.'' Thanks for inspiring YCImaging, your video's are really helpful. Best of luck and keep rocking man!
Clients truly do not care, bought a lot of gears I ended up not using. The business management of production is as important as the skill set. We can’t afford to go broke doing what we love.
So deep, love this comment
I agree about the team effort. I do some music live recordings by myself, but when it comes to a proper music video I gotta have my team with me. I need more creative minds on set to make it the best it can be. Thank you for the tips!
So when a team is needed for better quality videos, how do I offer my service for someone without any shooting clips experience? even for a underground artist wouldnt pay 200$
I've done a couple of run and gun shoots for companies lately and i can not agree more that planning is making the result so much better!
I'd say that the one thing i wish i 'd known is that i'd practice even more editing than i did. Editing for me is where 80% of the magic goes down.
Thanks for the video man, great tips!
I have been watching your videos for an year now and i have to say the quality of each and every video just keeps on going off the roof .....Congrats on the progress ..True inspiration Fr
Actually, I just started on video making, my first music video got uploaded on monday.
While editing I realized everything that I got wrong when shooting and definitely already know what I gotta do better.
You inspire and help me A LOT keep up with the videos man!!!
Totally agree, I think one of the biggest things I wish I knew is. def not having to do everything on my own. Know your weaknesses and allow others to fill in that gap while you strive with your strengths. Great video YC.
Right! It's a team effort man
Don’t wish you knew it before bro. That’s the dope part about what you do! You learn little things here and there to capitalize on your actual skill. Keep killin it!
Hey! I struggled so hard with focal length too, especially since I also come from a photography background where it is easier to control aperture/shutter speed/lighting still shots. Starting the move into videography, I wish I knew how different it actually is compared to photography.. moving subjects, lighting, composition etc.
This video has helped me a lot and I no longer feel like a goose.
Thank you for existing!
I’m in the .02 percent. Didn’t even realize not many women probably watch you but I just love good info on filmmaking. Makes me feel immersed in the craft. Keep the how to videos coming!
It's really tough to find a direct info video on RUclips. You crushed it! All the questions I had you answered. Thank you!
So far, it's been a great adventure that has helped me realise how creative I can really be. Honestly, I wouldn't change anything! From my humble start on the Nikon D3300 to my current full frame Canon, it has been a pleasure learning how to film and take pics 🥰
Great tips. Thanks for keeping it a hundred. It's great learning tidbits from your hustle
I wish I understood cinematic camera movements. And that it's about the lenses more than the camera.
Deedz Productionz Lenses are important.
Love the practical advice you provided including your recommendation to have a game plan in place before shooting. Also appreciate your insight and experience with lighting! I usually record performers live, recording a music video definitely requires me to change gears. Thank you!
Bro the way you talk literally radiates your charisma... i love your personality man... keep it up...

Shot By Chuka For sure!
BRO. Your hair has been on POINT lately! haha I think the main thing for me starting out (and I still struggle with this) is trying to do everything myself and wanting it to be 100% something I created. As I started working with friends and other creators, it's amazing what two brains can come up with versus one. So collaborating with others would be something I would recommend to people starting out, because it'll only make you and the other people involved better at your craft.
Casey Hardman Appreciate it! Team is always better lol
Thanks for sharing this video as always. Look forward to your next one.
Johnny Ray Thanks Johnny!
I wish I didn't feel like I needed all the best gear to go out and start producing films.
glad you talked about your overall vibe first thing i say to myself as watching the video was "this guys constantly smiling and has great energy".. keep at it stay golden.
Your advices are precious ! Thank you for doing what you do!
LB PRODUCTIONS Appreciate you checking it out.
Great points, I am a musician and people always get caught up on plugins or samples when really all that matters is that it hits with the people.
THANK YOU for preaching to me about the camera I've got - Ive been dreaming of upgrading to a new camera and good lens, but I don't have the funds to do so and I'm just starting with film. I needed to be reminded to just start with what I've got and as I continue down this road I will upgrade when I can!
Thank you for acknowledging us femmes...I just discovered your channel today, and it has been so helpful out of all the others I have seen. Thank you!! Keep up the great work💪🏽
I’m so proud of your channel growth my dude! I’ve been a subscriber since you were at about 65k! Keep doing your thing!
José The Rover José, I appreciate the support!
Good shit bruh been rocking for a min videos always helpful
Good stuff my man. I subscribed for the shear fact that you keep it real on using what you have and making it look good from your beginner days to now. I too have the same attitude when it comes to doing things outside the norm and the box. A solid camera that shoots good video and a solid lens can go a long way to producing some quality work. Thanks for the tips, much appreciated!
Great content, your one of the few that brings real world tips and suggestions to help with our on the field work
Jonathan Gayosso thanks man, I appreciate the support
Love your motivation you a real live goat my G
Great Content bro... I have been watching you for years... I love seeing your subscriber count rise... Keep up the great work!
Craig Strachan Creative Appreciate you!
Love watching your videos because it keeps me working on the right path!
Great tips!! Thanks for sharing!!
"Let's melt all the make-up off" LOL!!! Classic bro. The nugget about it being a team effort is crucial. But real talk the one thing I wish I knew was how much stress this career will put on your back and feet!!!
Marcus Robinson BRO! Chiropractor is definitely beneficial for anyone who sits at the desk.
New to film-making here. This video was super helpful. Looking forward to seeing what else you got!
I wish I knew more about exposure when I first started off. Most of the videos I shot early on were mostly at night and I would crank up the ISO to 6400 all the time. There have been times where I would shoot during the day and would still have the ISO up to around 2500 for no good reason. You have to start somewhere, I guess.
Just starting out here. Thank you for your videos. You are so real, and it gave me courage to try to do this. Good info.
What’s up bro? Definitely appreciate the work you’ve been putting in and paying forward. My one thing I wish I knew when I first started shooting actually not devaluing my own work by posting prices. It was crazy cause when I was really feeling the frustration from it I came across your video and it eased my frustration forreal.
Wish I would have know about using 24fps for majority of shooting with double shutter speed and 60 fps for slow motion.
Thanks bro! I've been a photographer for three years and I just bought a Gimball to learn video, man am solucky to stumble on your channel.
Dope video, Keep grinding 👏🏾👌🏾💪🏾
BROOOO!! U just give me so much inspiration while I was watching this video 💜💜💜
I just want you to know that you are really my number one inspiration. Carry on!
I love youre stuff bro, seriously you and darius britt have been huge inspirations for me as a black creator, no lie. Thank you.
Darius is the homie! He makes dope stuff.
I wish I didnt have your glidecam ran over at that 1 shoot :(
Creative Ryan Video about THIS coming soon!
Lmao damn Ryan, do you hate this man?
@@miyurinorris158 HAHAHAH
Savage 😂😂🙈
Snapped Media RYAN LOWKEY HAS IT OUT FOR YC lmao
If only i knew camera movements can enhance a video and also how to cut to the beat when editing, not forgetting b roll is king. It just brings life back to a story and captivates the viewers attention when done right.
Facts
I'm from Nigeria and I really wanna say a big thank you, I'm working on a short film and have learnt a lot from you, I'm gonna send a link to the film when done, a way to say thank you for the knowledge impacted
Dope video as always YC! Man the thing I wish I knew was that your body of work is more valuable than the cost of your equipment. I got caught up in buying gear but wasn’t shooting enough. So when I got all the gear I wanted, I couldn’t charge what I felt the quality was worth because I didn’t have the portfolio to back up the price.
Been watching you for yrs, love your work bra.
What's up big bro, great videos man. One thing I would want to know more in depth is understanding color correction and lenses. And especially lenses because there are so many to choose from.
One thing i wish I knew is definitely
1. Test out all your gear after renting and get it on rent 2 days or at least a day before shoot date on every commercially paid shoot. It's better to bill the client a little extra than be sorry and explain to them how the gear has failed and it sucks.
Happened once when I rented a sony A7sii where the rental house gave me third party batteries that were bust and didn't even last like 10 mins.
The other things are
2. Make up, set design and food & beverages is more important than gear.
3. Document any transaction even though some deals are cash, take signed receipts.
4. Always have a gameplan and a backup plan.
5. Make sure the rental house is friendly and is covered with insurance for gear.
6. " Be friendly and nice to every client you meet. Even if you figure out it's not gonna turn out any profits or advantages but also remind the one's that ask for free work and hassel you that you are doing it for a living."
This is huge!
@@YCImaging thank you! 😍 ✌️
This was incredibly exciting helpful. I feel so much better about moving into this industry now.
I'm right at the beginning, so thanks for the tips!
Duuude respeeect on your advice. Thank you!!
Thank you for the tips!!! Very helpful!
I’m always inspired when I’m here thanks again ❤
Love your work, suscribed!
Thank you for the information bro 🤞🏾
You are really good at it
and you deserve million before 2k20.
Good luck.👍
Great video and great tips. One thing is though I have had multiple artists ask what camera I shoot with and even showing my camera rig on a call has helped me increase budgets by up to double. Just having a rigged up camera with a matte box (the big cheque) helps clients take you serious. It's harder to communicate and sell good creative but easier to show a fancy looking rig and they get that you're more professional than a run and gun type. It's a balance though.
Yc imaging got me started shooting videos a few years back I'm glad you decided to do tutorials now I get that bag
Great content always deserves great subs
Bro I appreciate you’re knowledge you’ve helped me out a lot 💯 keep grinding bro
This video helped a lot and wasn’t boring definitely love the vibe of the channel
Bro, thank you! I'm new to the the game and I'm still learning tons, I saw one of your videos with Indy Mogul and I appreciated your insight on making a music video on "No Budget." Like a jeweler, I try take any jewels dropped. Thanks!
Tight! I'm feeling it
appreciate your honesty bro!!!!!
Dope, definitely on it‼ thanks bro🎥💯👨🏻💻
holllaaaaaaaaa *gal over here, thanks for the acknowledgment, trying to represent and encourage more bad ass ladies out here in this world
Hey, I just watched your video and it was dope! Thanks for sharing!
U are so chill brow
feels at home when I'm watching your videos. Your videos are turning me back into a creator instead of a camera/lens scientist 🙄 I don't feel overwhelmed or stressed here.
I definitely feel you on the lighting lessons, that’s still the one thing on every shoot that stresses me out! Any chance we can get a YCImaging crash course on your favorite light placements?
William Hall I got you!
YCImaging you the man!
@@YCImaging yeah
Always on point YC!💯
You might not know that the informations you drop are dope and i possibly do not comment to any youtuber but your clear and do not hide the struggle you faced . Loved it .
Love from India .
May lord bless you.
Nice video, good ideas! Have my first RAP video job coming in May. Keep it up!
Thanks for the acknowledgment. 😊
Good bro,love your videos,they inspire me
Great channel bro 💯👊🏾👊🏾
Super interesting ! Thanks for sharing
hi yes the ladies are here too haha. Great video, and great advice. Excited to check out the rest of your stuff!
You’re dope man, some gems in here
great video very informative and straight to the point.
On the cusp of doing one. Great video. Well spoken - Humorous! and informative. :) Thanks Man!
Realest person to do music video related instructional videos on RUclips, and not annoying.
Real Info! Thank you!!!
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🔥 - Your one man band advice ... Truth. Especially at weddings.
Thanks 4 The Keys Yc 🤯💪🏾💯
Bro, your videos are getting to another level! Keep it up ;)
Thanks for this video. I am exploring making videos as a hobby/ extra skill.
Duuuuude! This is rad! Loving the more candid delivery. Always sick content. Wish I knew how basic the exposure triangle and exposure was in general... I thought it was sooooo tech, for so long. P.S. it's rare that I leave comments. But I'm stoked! Hahaaaa!
I wish I knew about coverage. Insteaf of covering a scene, I used to film each shot individually how I saw it in my mind. And if anything went wrong in editing, I was restricted quite a bit.
it's not about the camera and lenses, it's about the art that you create with the tools you have.
Great info man thanks - got a few laughs too!
