This is very informative! I love learning as much as I can about film making. RUclips is a fantastic resource to do that. YAH TECHNOLOGY.

[@MileyonDisney]

Look at how much cinematography has changed even since this video was made. I can't wait to see what the next few years will bring. And how many 10-year-olds shoot and edit video now? Nearly every kid, it seems, is uploading videos to RUclips. It's going to be so hard for cinematographers to find work, with as many great ones as there will be.

[@j0llyr0ger54]

Great Vid! Thanks! I really like your use of Solar power! Great Idea!!!

[@aaronharper444]

[@SILVERSETFILMS]

+P C Probably because he didn't put this on gossip media which seems to be within his style. Great man.

[@jamilbutt3280]

Thank you for sharing It is realy an informative specially for those who want to learn out of it

[@sonnybrown4758]

I like his last statement here about cinematography becoming an art NOW as opposed to when only a few had their hands on cameras 50 years ago. I don't remember who said it, but someone said, "movie's won't be an artform until the tools become as cheap as pencils." Or something to that effect.

[@yusufkarriem246]

Fantastic, I like the way you did your Jib and Steadycam. How about a Tutorial on how you it. It will be wonderful.

[@aliosha123]

[@oshawaxpress]

+Alin Cristian Militaru - Ok, so you somehow feel threatened by this guy's expertise and enthusiasm (and his lifestyle). Therapy and medication might help. They can do wonderful things these days. You could learn humility and respect for others. This guy is cool, approachable and extremely good at what he does. What's your claim to fame?

[@weallneedlove1263]

I just got an ad for Vimeo . Not sure how to feel?

[@willeye9126]

[@nuuh920]

what would he say now

[@lameiraangelo]

Genius

[@slowpoke96Z28]

now a 10 year old can do the same thing with a drone...

[@WanderlustWonderscape]

I suppose the first shot is an example of how NOT to shoot an interview?

[@moviemanjoe9583]

How so?

[@WanderlustWonderscape]

When you see the shot, where is your attention drawn to? The subject who is speaking? Or the clutter in the background? And, why is that? Perhaps the focus, framing and lighting are completely wrong?

[@igorsclass]

o gud

[@jamesfranco9131]
