A good example that I see is that some people put so many jump cuts in their videos to avoid little mistakes in their language that the video looks terrible. Let the people make a couple of mistakes trying to express themselves, they look more human.

Who doesn't love to break a rule! Lovely content!

[@de_visuals]

So good as always Sean, love it bro 🙏

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Great tips as usual! Glad raw is coming up, cuz my stuff is raw AF! 😂

[@ruanatfuturevisionroom]

Great tips! Thank you Sean!

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Great suggestions. I love the one of lowering the shutter speed to capture blurred action.

[@Jeffswildlifeadventures]

Thank you for always pushing us to be authentic and trying new and different techniques!

[@CichlidCharmer]

I love this. Just found your channel. Watched three videos. SUBSCRIBED! ❤️❤️

[@seankitching]

Yay! Thank you! Really awesome to hear that!

[@FermionBecProductions]

I just want to say.. these aren't broken rules. This is filmmaking 101 in general. A lot of people do get caught up chasing every extravagant rig, and film set, and following the most expensive trends. THIS right here is how the magic of cinematography comes together. Hollywood is a reference point of course, but the entire world we live in is the real reference. Great work man.

[@TinCanFlyFishing]

Another tip I am learning from you - shutter speed at double the frame rate. I'll have to play with the settings for that I believe, but I will do it. Thank you.

[@likemike6862]

Learning from the best. It’s awesome 👍🏽

[@MicroFourNerds]

I was very good at doing the first one accidentally when my main camera was the gh5 lol

[@Katharina552]

Loved it 😍

[@chrischadwick1]

Great video and stunning b roll. But can we address the elephant in the room... where's Hannah...?

[@user-rx8wc2id9u]

Started doing the first trick from I started photography as a hobby. Did a similar shot accidentally with a few friends and it was one of the most amazing shots I've taken thus far. A lot of the rules are really just there to help you understand the tools at your disposal. How I viewed this from the start (i only started a few months earlier) is that there are no rules, just tips and tools at getting the image YOU want. Whether its the flattest/dynamic/underoverperfectlyexposed(lol)/in focus/out of focus/interesting /boring/BLAHBLAH" shot as long as you are able to do the things needed to control the shot enough to get the result you want....THAT'S THE SKILL...that is it.

[@hyoh-wu]

Thanks Sean....you pretty much answered what I have been thinking over the last year.. (and I've been doing a channel for 4 years now) and that is, understand the basics,understand the rules, know why they are there, and throw them out the window. I tell u what...the firstvfew years I tried to do everything by the book and it made filming a hiking video miserable and took for ever, and the videos were not that good. This last year I said the heck with it and just shot however I wanted to shoot. Sometimes, I followed the rules alot of times I didn't and the videos came out much better and my hiking was fun. Thanks for teaching us and putting in all the hard work. Have a merry awesome Christmas and rock the 2024 new year! You are appreciated my friend.

[@seankitching]

Ah love this, and yeah its such a valid point actually. Wish I touched on the importance of just making it enjoyable for yourself if not anything else but hey, maybe you have given me a new video idea lol. Glad you found your way of enjoying the process though. I am going to check out your channel and return the support!

[@hyoh-wu]

Awesome.!

[@JoshMiles]

Sean, totally digging your color grades in this one. Makes me wanna get in some beach time this winter!

[@seankitching]

Ah thanks yeah I kinda changed my grade a bit lately just experimenting a bit. Glad you like it though and yeah goes pretty well with the summer vibe hey ;)

[@JoshMiles]

@@seankitching ​ very cool, I think the grade in the van and especially the shots of you with the camera around 6:59 with the golden light are really strong!

[@TentoesMe]

He he... When I hold the camera, it looks I am filming in an earth quake!

[@mashi_rsa]

I knew it!!!!! That accent gave it away and you also look South African😂don’t know how to explain it. I’m new here

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

(KZbin played the Google commercial before your video.......They must know people tune in to watch Sean videos)

[@seankitching]

HAhah appreciate it!

[@ancinematic_]
