Nice stuff. I also wanted to see pro with lighting in the end.

Next: *_Pro with kit lens vs Beginner with many expensive lenses._* *_I think both should do it on an APSC mirrorless camera.. such as the Sony a6500 or the Canon M50._*

[@gerson3jg828]

x2

[@videneikha268]

Lol they have already done a video beginner with red cinema camera vs Jake with Canon SL2.

[@DebzLife]

@@videneikha268 I know. My comment is not about the camera, it's about the lens. My idea is that both of them will use a beginner camera, but the beginner gets to use many expensive lenses, whereas the pro only gets the kit lens.

[@sanjeetswain7112]

Same here, i have A6300 with kitlens

[@writtentruthproductions]

Good One!!!

[@yossishapiro57]

Next competition: "Beginner with EXPENSIVE GIMBALS and SLIDERS vs PRO HANDHELD!"

[@timothyflood]

yes!

[@legendp2011]

pro with glidecam vs begginer with gimbal?

[@smsaif56]

Yeah

[@ayushbothra1180]

You read my mind

[@JanRaymondCortez]

Bring Daniel Schiffer as well 😁

[@boubacar233diallo]

Man this guy Parker is on a new level. He spots everything lol. Also wearing a white shirt to create dimensions is a smooth tip i didn't thought about

[@joshzaring]

yeah man, the way he describes every little detail is on a much more professional level than the “big youtubers”

[@HawksNestYT]

I just want to point out that shot from Parker looks incredible. Lighting, angle, CC/CG, etc

[@nathan-lewis]

Except for the massive glare from the light in the window... lol

[@MaiElizabeth]

Acting is 40%, composition/angle/focal length/camera movemennt are 60%

[@TheTylerRossmann]

Some ideas! Pro with kit lens vs Beginner with unlimited lens choices. Pro with cheap/small drone (like the DJI Spark) vs Beginner with expensive drone (like the DJI Inspire 2). Pro with no SFX website library use (has to make own SFX to include in their video) vs Beginner with unlimited SFX website library (like Musicbed, Soundstripe, etc.). Pro only handheld vs Beginner with unlimited gimbals/stabilizers/sliders. Pro with no audio recorder/mic vs Beginner with unlimited audio.

[@JanRaymondCortez]

The pro should have been able to used at least a reflector or something that can bounced light.

[@RyanLennoxBradley]

I agree

[@TohPhimmasenh]

Yeah i thought he was gonna do that, idk if its against the rules, or he just didn't think of that

[@got2beable]

I like that he didnt use a reflector it just shows the pure way to take something without any equipment needed. Just the camera

[@JakeWeisler]

Mainly wanted to do it with ZERO tools to prove the point but yeah I definitely wanted to use a reflector haha

[@AbhaySharda]

@@got2beable almost everybody's first buy after the camera is the reflector. It's the most basic tool that comes handy all the time, diffusing the light or blocking it or reflecting it.

[@MarkHBaker]

On Jake's skit, perhaps a simple fix would have been to have the two actors trade sides, putting Landon with the lighter shirt on the side where the background is darker.

[@IamQrock]

You guys are all GREAT! I really enjoy this series you learn a TON. I think what I enjoyed most is the message behind this. To me on the beginner side letting Josh explain his decisions as best he could even though he didn't know all of the terminology and or might've stumbled over his words a little was sooo appreciated. To me that's saying there's nothing to be scared of and no need to get everything perfect before you start... you are good enough! At least that's what I got from it! I will be getting started with my youtube video stuff soon as well. I just need a better computer that can handle it or else I would've started already! Thanks for this great watch!

[@SwarmyPopsicle]

Josh is such a great addition! So cool to see a beginner learning, it's so accessible and really inviting to try some techniques with what we already have. Thank you!

[@WillyFoxx]

quality content as always guys. I always learn some new little details about the subject. That's why I keep coming back. Cheers!

[@AldousFilms]

[@drmatthewhorkey]

I love these videos, great way to show how far knowledge goes.

[@josephconti9235]

I really enjoy beginner to pro competition. It really shows that it’s within grasp to be able to do these things if you put the effort in.

[@lisasimmons1832]

Way to go Josh! I would have psyched myself into failure so it was cool and encouraging to seeing you push through!

[@ShangleLP]

i actually like the windows footages more. You see more details of the surrounding there instead of just dark edges as it was at some shots. I think this looks more realistic and also familiar and comfortable

[@michel-manuel]

I'm really loving the beginner vs Pro series💯👌🏾🔥

[@JakeWeisler]

thanks man!

[@pkplayz7711]

Video colour grading: beginner with high end software vs professional with recomended beginner software. Might be the food idea I thought ao

[@writtentruthproductions]

YES!!!

[@gustavwarming5177]

@@writtentruthproductions Pretty sure they did that already! Go look up their beginner on premier pro vs. pro on IMovie

[@writtentruthproductions]

@@gustavwarming5177 Yeah the did an editing one, but what about one focusing 100 percent on color??

[@TeabaggEditing]

With this series they want to show beginners that they don't need expensive gear in order to do professional video. When it comes to software you can get pro software for low budget or even for free like Davinci Resolve. So the comparison makes no sense because even beginners have access to pro software. That means the only difference is the knowledge here and clearly the pro will win.

[@Metienne]

These beginner vs pro episodes are such a nice idea because the pros have to use their creativity

[@MasterEsquilo]

At 07:51 he puts the hoodie on and 07:53 his hoodie is down and then 07:56 his hoodie is on again, continuation is key folks! hahah even tho i caught this i'm still pretty much an amateur myself. Loving this series and I've been learning a lot through this channel!

[@JakeWeisler]

[@allthebest1277]

Loving this series, guys. It's nice to see Josh's progress too. I love Parker's critique - he really shows you what to look for - and also that you (me) have a lot more to learn LOL. Not that this matters for the specific exercise, but there was continuity issue at 7:54 - the hoodie goes on at abt 7:52, the over the shoulder shot - there's no hoodie. & "btw" Landon should actually hone his acting skills and pursue acting. His has good thoughtful looks behind the eyes at times which is cinematic gold for film.

[@sayeedkhalshi]

the one without extra light is the best. The cuts, acting, lights all looks very engaging

[@ferminiturbide4390]

You know you’re doing something right, when random people (me) that have been watching this channel since its early days, have developed a sense of pride by watching this channel grow into what it is today, that feeling extends to the kid, dude, you can see the hard work he’s done from the first episode of this series to this last one......In the Army, we would tell our Soldiers their doing great by telling them “keep doing what you’re doing” it was way of saying “excellent job but don’t let it get to your head”............so........KEEP DOING WHAT YOU’RE DOING 😂😎

Nice work Walbeck! Photography is a practical oriented subject and you bring it out in the best way possible...Now do 1080 with a pro vs a 4k with an amateur...once again, good lessons!

They did do a red camera vs some 1080p camera before, couple months ago i believe.

Great stuff guys. Been doing lighting for years (though not a pro) and picked up a few great tips such as Rembrandt type lighting, the proper clothes to wear against a background and always filming on the dark side of the subjects. Made some mistakes in the past doing the opposite. Would like to see Pro vs Beginner audio outside when it is windy.

[@shakey905]

You should definitely start making more vs videos as its very popular on your channel

[@Vojoor]

The reflections on the second Uno hand was also a little downside in the setup with studio lights

[@jonk3361]

[@Mechrank]

The topics you put up are quite interesting ones. 👍🏻

[@emmanuelsanni5802]

Parker is such a legend.

[@Trollfest23]

Good stuff, great content! One thing I'd say is that both filmmakers have too much movement in their compositions. "Movement" is part of filmmaking language. It says something. I see this among a lot of "dslr era" filmmakers; they always call for more movement in their shots calling it "more dynamic", "more cinematic", but the reality is that motion is a lot more than that. It has to be motivated and only then it is special.

[@biguattipoptropica]

You’re right, it would have been way more interesting if the movement had been limited to “let’s make it interesting”, revealing the Monopoly money, and then the crunch or showing the cards.
