Hey, I cannot. Lens choice is determined by a series of factors such as budget, look of the film, ease/speed of use etc. But if you’re looking to provide detail and get a detailed personal opinion from me, feel free to shoot me an email.

I got you. It's not inherently "better." It offers a visual variety. The same way punching in and out does, but to a greater degree. This greater variety results in a higher production value, and therefore “better.” Have a look at the difference one angle with punching in makes vs two angles.

Thanks. Can you tell me if the framing is right on my video testimonial at YT video J9ebOeWYTQw? I tried to follow the rule of thirds, but positioned the center of her eyes at the intersected lines. It looks like maybe I was supposed to think of her full face as an oval and position the intersection lines at the middle of the oval. Also, I'm not a cinematographer, so forgive the 1 camera angle cropped to fake a 2nd angle. Thanks.

@@jessedameron7985 Again, there is no "right." But in terms of framing, yeah, it's standard. Utilizing rule of thirds while subject looking into open space. When cinematographers setup shots, they're is a degree of leeway on where the eyes fall on the intersecting lines. Heads up, your keylight is on the nearside of the face and it's not been softened, therefore creating hard shadows (including the one on the wall).

@@DavidDanielPierce Thanks. I'll look into bringing my own light. (I did not bring any lights. I used the hotel's lamp/light.) Until I do it right, I wonder if these shadows can be reduced in post production?

Love that. Davarius, you the fucking man.

Hell yeah brother. Too Many Zooz for the win.

Anytime, homie. Thanks.

Anytime, homie. Thanks.

Big thanks. I like the way you delivered this comment.

Ha, this made me laugh, man. You right. I originally made this a a proof of concept to show clients that I could make a video that does well with zero following. I've since had video ideas that may be useful, but no way in shit that I want to be a KZbinr.

Diptiman, I really appreciate the high praise. Thanks, man.

If you MUST make a comment, please only make it on the size of my cock and how much you want it in my mouth, Andrew.

Ha! No worries bro--being a felon is tremendously underrated. Please follow up with updates.

yessir

Haney, it is not easy--a lot to consider. But hell yeah it's doable. I hope that interview went well for you.

yep, second that.

Less fluff would make KZbin a better place.

Wow, what a compliment, Makali’i. I really appreciate this. Glad you got something out of the video--you rock!

Hey, I appreciate you reaching out, but no--I'm not going to make as ESL version of this video. I would suggest subtitles when consuming English speaking media.

Slow down the video? Replay parts? Subtitles?

This bullshit happens to all of us. Best of luck with hitting that record button in the future, man.

That depends on the effect that you're going for. And we could get DEEP into depth stylistic-wise, but I won't. For safety, you may want to place the camera at eye-level. That's essentially the standard. A slightly lower angle will give the speaker more of a subconscious powerful and authoritative feel. I tend to do this for MALE-CEO-types. But it comes at the cost of them looking their best, as dark circles and the double chin is more noticeable (which is why I'll lean towards a lower angle for men because they don't give a shit how they look and a powerful feel is more valuable than attractiveness). Although, I have gotten some guys who are particularly worried about how they look on camera, and some women who do not. A little higher angle has the opposite effect. It's a bit more flattering looks-wise, but not as subconsciously powerful. More of something I tend to use when I can tell the subject only cares about how they look on camera, like someone who sells beauty products.

@@DavidDanielPierce Was wondering whether to thank you right away for your answer or wait for 6 months to reply back .. lol... but thank you so much for the reply !!

@@raysmith5487 ha. Yeah, I clearly never check here. I actually made the video as a proof of concept for potential clients to show I could get a video seen without any following. I’m not trying to be a KZbinr. Hopefully your shoot went well.

Appreciate it.

Crazy: absolutely not. Power windows are very common in most grades. But a simple vignette to add texture is a bit rudimentary. If you really wanna talk more in depth about this, feel free to reach out to me on insta or email, homie.

Cool. Glad it was helpful.

Oh yes, that's coming from experience.

Thanks. Love you

You can go about customly making something that you find interesting or take somebody else's--like from Motion Array.

great

You are an amazing person for saying so. I have intentions on doing more, but I just never seem to get around to it.

These graphics were actually outsourced, but yeah--a ton of work. Mostly custom made graphics and rotoscoping with motion. In terms of making the custom graphics, the post house took the Philadelphia Union's brand guidelines and previously made brand graphics and blended them into various motion animations. When you see graphics packages from sports team, it's a big effort.

Yep, of course. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.

Good. glad it helps.

No, you're beautiful, Clayton.

Thanks, Pertti :)

Ain't that the truth, Ben.

Cheers, m8

haha I've gotten that before. cheers

Thanks. I aim to continue, brother.

Awesome that you found it helpful, homie. feel free to reach out, email or whatever, if you ever want to chat further about production or the business.
