Daniel Schiffer Did you shoot 4K @24fps?

[@blackwellxiii247]

how are your videos so stable shooting free hand??

[@EdwardOriginal]

What do you do for music? I am interested in shooting videos for clients, short-film projects, and KZbin but am concerned about music rights/royalties etc. Do you use a specific site for free music or make it yourself?

[@JesseIson]

Supe useful hacks!! Also someone please watch my first shortfilm: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6e7iXx5mbxlj5I Thanks

[@TravelingPursuit]

Sick tutorial, super easy and totally makes sense! Thanks man!

[@jakekamensky7442]

Finally! Camera tips that aren't a needle in a haystack of a 10 minute video. Thanks.

[@SamHulse]

The reverse thing is GENIUS! I'm going to try it out!

[@speedybvideo6834]

Being new to video editing I don’t always think of these things. This will help my videos for sure.🔥🔥🔥

[@YCImaging]

Fire video bro!

[@AlfredPaoloConfiado]

Just now discovering Daniel Schiffer and I find my favorite music video director commenting on this video. I feel like I'm on the right track!

[@samjesskuhn2619]

I am a new Subscriber, One thing I appreciate about Daniel is he's precise and quick to the point. Very practical tips that don't require big purchases. I love Peter Mckinnon, but sometimes I don't care about his morning coffee, or his snow mobile rides. I just want the HACK!

[@howtohockeytraining]

This is going to make my videos so much better! Thanks Daniel

[@alaricsim9151]

Hey Daniel, I really love what you’re doing here showing the behind the scene when you’re shooting those B-rolls. I always have trouble with getting shots like that. I would really like to see more of the behind the scene!

[@rooster700rr]

the most legit content that I have seen packed into a 2min video.

[@cjmartin69]

Wow that was totally useful and in less than 2 minutes. I love the split screen showing how you are doing it that brings it all together.

[@NateJackson_]

So recently I've been like i wonder how i get my videos to just be better, then i found your channel about 25 minutes ago and now im hooked

[@overlycranked8674]

Filmschool in bite-sized servings! Those camera moves/controls are only revealed in very high-end and mostly private training programs. Also, the hidden gem in all Daniel's postings are his fluent edits. Thank you for sharing

[@xveganx]

The BEST tutorial I ever seen. I wish all youtube videos were similar

[@Donnie2fit]

This is a big key to my videos I never thought of reverse focus

[@Unknownbrianzaste]

I just discovered it myself. Putting them in my videos sooner

[@Lumencraft-]

The reverse focus is my favorite, it's easy to do, and no $25 per month software needed. I like to add a small sound effect like wind rushing etc as it comes in too.

Thanks for the tips. I really like the last one shooting in reverse.

[@LearnColorGrading]

Great tips, and well explained.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

awesome video... not just good video.. awesome video.. totally helpful. I watched lots of other tutorials but I am definitely going to use your tips... I didn't even think about that light and I am photographer for 13 years.. just the transition to video sometimes throws me off balance. I like the video it is just different..

[@sanderbrebels]

As a video editor, I must say... I love your channel.

[@Screlon]

Plain and simple, gets straight to the point. No fluff, youtube needs more creators like yourself!

[@kimabalos3818]

Finally! Someone who really taught how to make a broll. Great vid! Thank you so much!

[@ChristopherPutvinski]

That reserve tip is so on point!

[@timmygregsonn]

I've never learned so much useful stuff in under 2 minutes! Thanks dude

[@PavelSupanenka]

Opposite direction movement is really helpful. Love using it too 🙌

[@KimOswalt]

Just found your channel and I've gone down the rabbit hole of videos... they're all so good and to-the-point! Thanks for all these fresh ideas.

[@CMathewGomez]

Love your reverse focus tip! Been using that a one a lot!

[@Phrankleen13]

Awesomeness Overload 😁👌🏾

[@NoMoreLeaks]

Aaaaaand I should have picked up a couple foam boards in addition to the regular poster boards. I had considered them while waffling in the aisle at Walmart, but after seeing two seconds of your video and trying the flimsy kind the night before--a couple bucks for convenience and more control over where the light bounces is worth it! Better late than never! Thanks for tips, Daniel!!!

[@SimpleSandalsMedia]

Thanks for sharing this knowledge!!!!

[@Chef_Abualezz]

In 1min and 50 seconds you boosted my production quality with a year worth of knowledge, 🙏

[@ricardopaquino]

You'r value added to video length ratio is super on point!

[@Dannyjw86]

3 simple but great ideas in under 2 minutes! You've done well with this one dude ha!

[@mavyxcvii5703]

This was super informative and didn’t drag on like most how to KZbin videos. Really great work keep it up dude!

[@markagoodger1]

Good video, and thanks for not burying it in 20 mins of fluff like most others

[@MikeLunc]

I learned something new with the revers focus thing. Good one!

[@nuradi3788]

dude, that was easy to learn both from your explaination and video behind the scene too

[@TNNTGaming]

The last hack/trick is mind blowing!!! Thank you!!

[@Gabeskiandhutch]

Thanks bro! Love your work

[@j.c5891]

I didn't even notice it was only a minute long! So much helpful information in a short amount of time... imagine a 5 or 6 minute video! 😩❤️ Love these tips Daniel, thank you!

[@SurajBoddu]

The new posters are looking slick!!

[@quickphix6826]

Thank you so much for putting these tips up! They're awesome! I'm definitely going to try them!

[@DriversSide]

Super useful information! I’ll try this in my videos!

[@JavierMercedes]

Great tips!

[@arvianordonez4014]

Lighting is so key! It's what separates a normal shot to a cinematic, crisp shot. Dope vid as usual! and nice new ending graphics!

[@jeffreychavey4161]

Very clever. Especially the last one. Thank you

[@YourStoryStudios]

Very good tips! I like the reverse focus tip. Very helpful!

[@danielschiffer]

Thanks for watching :)

[@THEKITPLUG]

Dope, love the tips. Keep up the great content bro!

[@rendermangl]

These hacks are blowing my mind ! Thank you . !

[@AdrianAye]

this is the first time I'm seeing that wall of albums. my boy. 🤝

[@AndyBlackmedical]

Pure Gold, one of the best informative quick videos I have seen. I will be using these tips for sure!

[@opedromagico]

finally I found some really quality content! thanks man

[@JeiCos]

How did I never see this after watching so much of your stuff? lol That reverse focus one (the last one) is one I started using last year. I do cosplay tutorials and at the end of the how-to section, I take cinematic footage of the piece. The ending to that is the 2nd to last clip fading to, or panning to, black, then pull from the black backdrop for the last clip, to get the "hero shot". In that last shot, I have the camera focused on the subject, and push into the backdrop, then reverse it in post, just as you mentioned. It's such a good trick.

[@sonjondg]

I swear speed ramping is one of the most useful and versatile effect you can use, great video man!

[@sonjondg]

also how's your experience doing the 3rd hack with the 30mm sigma?

[@danielschiffer]

sonjondg best way to do it with that lens is to focus on your subject using af-c and then switching to mf once it’s in focus. The technique will still work but I might be more tricky with a tighter focal length like that.

[@sonjondg]

damn thanks for the fast reply, may cop the 16 or 30 mm soon! can't wait

[@vertigev]

Just found this channel, watched a few vids and they are very informative, well detailed, well explained, and not boring! No fluff here, just good content. Subbed!

[@alexlorenlee]
