[@MattSpaugh]

Great stuff. Looking for new content creators to follow in 2022 - you're on top of my list! The tip on directing non-professional actors is hugely helpful. I just did a 4 day shoot with 'talent' provided by the client. It went fine, but props for them to engage with was the key. Keep up the great work.

The amount of time I spent on KZbin trying to find videos like this! This is amazing and extremely helpful. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for this. Please do more of these. Subscribed. Edit: Can we have something like this (camera movements) for weddings? Like couple shoots with gimbal or without?

[@jacques_crafford]

I'm sooo glad to hear that, thanks for your feedback and support. I'll be doing a ton of these this year. Sadly I don't film weddings anymore but I'll see if I still have something with couples :)

[@AnDrewSutton]

What do you use to help stabilize your videos? Is your movement just that smooth in camera? I noticed even the handheld videos with foreground elements were buttery smooth, and typically stabilizers don't function well with heavy foreground. Great video!

[@mymyspace863]

These are very helpful tips! Are you pulling focus on your subject while doing the movements or using Automatic Focus? Thanks

[@zaymax_7]

Finally! good and fresh information that aren't annoying transitions that everyone does now alongside teal and orange. I love it when commercial filmmakers do youtube videos!!

Amazing Video man, thanks

[@uursullla]

Thanks the movements awesome 🎉

[@willchao1733]

Great video :) However I just want to point out that changing the focal length of your lens does NOT affect your perspective. Perspective only changes when your shooting distance changes, so zooming in post has the same effect as zooming on the lens when it comes to perspective

[@jacques_crafford]

Thanks for the feedback Will. I think it might just be the use of the word "perspective" really what I'm referring to is compression, there's a massive changes from 24-50mm+ something you can't get in post.

[@willchao1733]

@@jacques_crafford yeah compression is the same thing, you can do a test by taking two photos in the same spot of the same subject, one at 50mm and the other at 24mm but cropped to 50mm, you’ll find the end result to have the exact same perspective/compression :)

[@flipnap2112]

a zoomed pic and cropped will be different. longer lenses compress the image and change the perspective. people can get confused I know, but its true. a picture of a human face at 20mm looks much ,much different than one shot on a 100

[@willchao1733]

@@flipnap2112 wrong. Try taking a picture with 20mm and 100mm of a human face from the same spot and crop the 20mm to the same frame as 100mm, you'll notice they look exactly the same Compression is the result of shooting distance, NOT the lens, it's a common mistake

Good video. Very helpful. Not like other videos I’ve seen promoting cool camera shots and then coming across as cheesy. You give it a more professional look. You have a good eye, but also you breakdown the shot and where the subject needs to be. Thank you for that. Personally, I think the Bicycle Reveal at 2:34 would have been better as drone footage where you do everything as you suggested, but you pull out while getting the subject and view in the city in the same shot. However, I understand these are shots only with a camera and gimbal. Maybe something to consider in another video using this type of shot with drone work?
