My pleasure! Thanks for watching and commenting :P

My pleasure!

Oh man how could I forget VFX??? I think I forgot it because I've actually only once had VFX / compositing on a project. But doing some quick research (cause now you got me curious), I've seen some people saying that VFX should be done before colour and some saying after. The answer I liked best is they're happening simultaneously on the raw footage, and then eventually the colour grade can be copied from what the colourist did on to the composites / VFX as well. At indie level, I feel we're always looking for the simplest way to not add to people's budgets or time. So I would assume it'd be after picture lock (cutting), and started pretty soon after that, as sound design needs to be done to whatever the VFX is. I feel like when that is introduced to the timeline, there's probably gonna be lots of rough versions flying around so people can get started and tweak when things started finishing. I dunno if that answered your question well tho lol...

Thank you!

i keed, i keed when IS lunch?

Nooooo I always make my shot list!!!!!

Heyyyy thanks so much! Glad it was of help homeslice

My pleasure! Thanks for watching :)

@@PianolasonMars working on another 4part series right now, but then I’ll give that video a shot! It’s weirdly simple and complicated at the same time lol so just gotta find the right way to showcase it. Thanks for watching :)

Holy moly! Thats a lot of footage... Normally I'd make it in a single project with multiple sequences like you're doing. And only have 1 sequence open at a time. Are you working with proxies? That may help...

My pleasure! Excited to get back to creating more videos soon :)

lol thanks homeslice!

My pleasure homeslice! Happy it helped :)

My pleasure! :)

Simon’s been holding out on his film credits! Good thing we have spies everywhere… :P

Awesome to hear! I’m constantly learning as I budget bigger projects, so I’ll probably make a new one eventually :P good luck with the feature!

That's it: take your shot, confident in the choices you've made and your point of view. Worst case its a no, best case it opens up a new world of opportunities.

I'd be doing the audience a disservice if I didnt find some way for her to share a bit of those with us :P

Haha thank you! Luckily we're so close, we get to joke around with each other like that :P

Hey thanks so much for the kind words! And congrats on the upcoming project, that sounds pretty exciting. One of the big benefits for you filming here is you're essentially extending your budget by 33% with exchange rates. As for the actual costs, not sure what the differences would be necessarily. I do know Quebec has some incredibly talented cast and crew at all stages in their careers, and thus, budget levels. My one piece of advice (though I'm sure its too late at this point lol): are you sure you want to star in your first feature film you're directing? That sounds like it may add a lot of complexities. I know someone who did that and... well... he shouldnt've lol. It not only affected the quality of the film, but it got on the nerves of the crew who felt they didnt have the full attention they needed from their director. Anyway! Something to consider :) Either way, good luck!

Thanks! Glad it was helpful

Hey so sorry I never saw this comment! Did you end up testing it?

I’ll get to that asap! Schedule has been so hectic these past few months, hence the slowdown in videos. But hoping to get back to it soon :)

Thanks so much! Hope the rest of the videos were a help too. I stopped pursuing the editing vids mainly cause it seemed like people were resonating with the directing ones more, so I’m happy to see someone benefit from these :P

@@TheNerdyFilmmaker well I hope you keep making these kind of vids, because you are straight to the point, no BS. something most others don't do. Good luck at your business.

Thanks! Hope it was helpful

@@TheNerdyFilmmakerit was very helpful

Dawwww thanks :)

My pleasure! Glad it was helpful

I’ve never understood people treating background performers poorly. Like, yo. They’re there for you. They’re an important part. Why yall being dicks???

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful

What’s a student film without literal torture? That’s insane. Boy do I hope that the filmmakers actually learned from that experience and work with a bit more safety and consideration. For actors and, you know, gun collectors whose house they may be damaging…

Thanks my man! I promise I’ll AT LEAST give you carrots on my sets.

Seriously. And we woulda had the equipment to film it too! Now THAT"D make a good web series.

Thanks amby. :)

I mean, I didn’t respect you for a single day of LARPs. But at LEAST I pretended well enough, you know?

You ain’t kidding. Coincidentally, just had lunch with Rene who was singing your praises buddy

Hahaha good to know for the future

Heyo! Thanks so much for that :) Honestly I didn't even know they came out with a Pro 2, and I cant seem to find any decently made reviews lol. So it's a bit unclear what's new. Unsure about the colour accuracy, but if they made the diffusion stronger than the one you see in my review, hopefully it fixed that jagged edge problem. Which anyway, is something that doesnt really interfere with my more interviewy setups, since I dont see the wall in-camera that the light is splashing on if I'm using it to light a subject. Would it add ambient light? Depends on the how large the space is, and the exposure you have your camera at. If you're fighting stage lights which are usually pretty bright, may be hard. But if you're using both and doubling the light in a smaller room, maybe? But I think it'd be perfect for your lobby gigs for your subjects, and your resto gigs for your subject or background lights (if you're not fighting sunlight). Anyway, hope you enjoy em! And here's hoping Neewer randomly decides to send me the Pro 2's to review...

Hey thanks for your reply, hopefully Neewer will send you some of the updated pro 2 version & you can do one of your awesome reviews on them, after watching your review on this modal I was sold on these, they seem a decent package for the price as you get the full set up!! Cheers

Hope it was helpful!

Wow thanks so much! All the guests were significantly more interesting than I am lol so yea, best keep the focus on them :P

Thanks so much!

Hey there! What a great question, thank you for this. So the actors are both mic'ed up with lav mics that are hidden in their clothing. Most film is shot with those, and that way the sound is consistent from shot to shot, ESPECIALLY the wides. Then on the closer ones, you can add in the boom mic as safety (plus sometimes the boom just sounds better). And then the sound mixer works to make it sound consistent, and make it sound further away in the wides. This obviously requires gear, and a sound person. If you dont have those, a boom mic is minimum requirement for good sound. And then try to not use the sound from the wide at all if possible (theyll just be too far from the mic, and it wont be clear), or dont have as far as a wide as I showed in this video. Make it closer for better sound. Hope that helps!

@@TheNerdyFilmmaker Many many thanks for the quick response! - Yes, we shoot with Lavs, there is also a sound man. I've also shot a few things, but never a dialogue film, neither did my DOP. HE said that if we shoot with o n e cam, we couldn't cut in the scene, at least not at an angle where the actor's mouth can be seen, because then we have to take the audio from the coverage, regardless of whether we The actors also have their respective parts spoken completely through during the coverage shots, or do a pickup in the middle, because the actor won't be able to repeat his text with 100% of the same melody, rhythm, style and phonics and you'll notice it when you do takes the respective audio recordings of the scene (wide, mediums, close ups etc) and the sound man then puts them together... I said to him don't believe that, because if you don't synchronize the audio in the studio, that's probably the way the professionals go, right? These the different audios from the different coverage on the coverage shots and the audio from the wide shot on the wide shot, right? Because it is very unlikely that the lav audio of the wide shots can be superimposed on the coverage scenes, because for that to happen the actor would actually have to speak at e x a c t l y the same speed in the coverage shots so that the wide-shot audio can reach them Mouth movements of the coverage shots fit, you know what I mean?

@@dandelgado11 i think I understand, and I’ll respond like this: when I cut from one angle of an actor to another of the same actor, if it is while the actor is talking, I try not to do it smack in the middle of a sentence. Maybe in a pause between sentences, and I’ll cut on the first or last word or two. For one word, you can easily match up the audio from the new angle over the last word of the old video. So that way you’re not switching audio files in the middle of a sentence, you know what I mean? Yikes this is very hard to explain via text! lol. Maybe I’ll make a video on it one day :P

To each their own of course! Tastes differ. I love having these on me tho, gives that option

What a coincidence! Cause she’s one of my fave people!! :P
