CINEMATOGRAPHY HACKS - LIGHTING FOR THE GRADE

[@filmbyakiljoefield]

I've always said this and I will continue to stand on this, it is never about the tools we are using but knowing how to use them effectively! This video is a perfect example of that, hats off to you sir!

[@CarterCreativeContent]

Totally agree!!

[@steinhillstudios1657]

Nice work. I appreciate this a lot. I enjoyed the short as well. Very inspiring with a much needed reminder to focus on the craft and not so much the gear and equipment.

[@CarterCreativeContent]

Appreciated 👍

[@rafabelfort]

Very interesting. Thank you very much!

[@babayevnariman]

wooooow sir you are professional like a ridley scoot

[@mashudali8482]

Subscibed! Really like the short film, it 'felt' good I did not see any gaps in angles, audios and the wide shot when the hit, well, was hit landed well!

[@CarterCreativeContent]

Thanks man, appreciate it 🙌

Some of the most impressive images I've seen coming out of a full frame Lumix. Granted you probably would've achieved similar results on any other camera which goes to show it's all about the knowledge of the person behind the camera. But you really finessed the use of this location/lighting.. I didn't think it would be possible to get such a dialed in look with absolutely zero modifiers/etc on location LoL. And the beauty of it is that the majority of the look was achieved in-camera making for such a simple post color workflow. Loving the content man, keep it up!

Really appreciate the comment 🙏

Your handling of the S5 is great.

[@CarterCreativeContent]

Cheers 👍

[@botbot3698]

This looks amazing! May I as what lenses did you use?

[@CarterCreativeContent]

Thanks, I only use two lenses, Zeiss Contax 28mm f2.8 and 50mm 1.7......love DOOM by the way, RIP.

[@botbot3698]

@@CarterCreativeContent The level of quality you got with such an affordable setup is insane. You have true skill sir. This just gave me even more confidence in the S5, although I'll probably still get the S5IIx later this year haha.

[@CarterCreativeContent]

@@botbot3698 Much appreciated!!.....I'll probably end up getting the x version too ;-)

[@MayurMahapatraFilms]

Well made video Carter.. 👍 . I just wanted to know what the WB you set while shooting the scene in camera? Or was it set to Auto WB , then you decreased the temperature in post? Please reply.

[@CarterCreativeContent]

I set the white balance using a white balance card.

[@MayurMahapatraFilms]

@@CarterCreativeContent thank you for replying

[@Aviciiz]

Well done. Thought the dialog was done very well, straight from a British tv show. I really liked how to motion felt too, felt heavy. what's your setup like?

[@charlie.carter.outdoors]

Cheers, Just an S5, Desview R6 monitor, SmallRig cage and handle and my Zeiss Contax lenses.

[@excusemybackproductions8572]

Looks amazing how you get those aerial shots btw?

[@CarterCreativeContent]

Thanks!... The aerial shot are off a mavic mini version 1 believe it or not. Was going to refilm those using a better drone but ended up keeping the original footage in the film.

[@excusemybackproductions8572]

What do you use for Audio? How do you manage it as a one-man band?

[@CarterCreativeContent]

For this film I just had a Rode NTG on top of the camera 🤷🏽‍♂️😆 was a bastard to edit because there were quad bikes in the distance that I had to cut around. I also had a very good sound engineer friend clean it all up, I was amazed at what he did to be honest.

[@excusemybackproductions8572]

@@CarterCreativeContent I know that pain im trying clean up some audio. Fora short im editing now.
