CINEMATIC SHOOTERS GUIDE: Part 1 (Cinematic Shooting Tips & Monitors)

[@markbone]

I just posted a Nike Commercial that I directed! vimeo.com/383606252 Check it out! Let me know your thoughts!

[@coreynusca4854]

Unreal work Mark.

loved it. energy was perfect, narration was excellent. string of questions for you on how the narration came about. did you write it in pre production? did you write it at all, perhaps she wrote it? or maybe, is the narration a product of things happening organically on set? any chance it came together by accident in the edit? just trying to understand some more of your non visual approaches to commercial work.

YO THE SOUND DESIGN THOUGH

[@kencarsxn]

honestly most useful film channel on youtube, so excited for more from this series

[@markbone]

thank you man! spread the word :)

[@brucebloot]

My head bopped as soon as you turned up the music.

[@DanielAparicio]

I've to say the false color explanation was amazing. It's the first time I understand it all. You're great. When I'll be filmmaker, i wanna be like you!

[@papsny]

Watching your videos helped me grow a lot, professionally and personally. I saw myself transition from a camera guy to a story teller. Thanks Mark!

[@PhillipSkraba]

I'm not going to lie to you, I like sitting down and watching you speak, it's really calming. Great film, thanks Mark 🔥

[@kylehuntxr]

The fact you love power stone has earned you a whole new dimension of respect from me 👌🏾

[@dna8269]

This is going to be an epic series. Can't wait. Great tips already

[@markbone]

💯💯💯

[@ragnaresken1293]

Dude, never stop teaching your craft, you stand out very much form the other youtubers who talk about film

[@markbone]

Thanks man!!!

[@pureangeles]

Man you’re a master at cinematic camera movement! I’ve been studying your docs lol to figure out how you do it. Could you please do a video on this? Would like to know how you decide on what type of movement is appropriate and whether you plan this out bedorehand etc.

I wish it was an online game!

[@helenrachelreynolds]

I just got the app Field Monitor last night - turns my iPad into a monitor & it has false colors. Doesn’t work with all cameras but works with my lumix. Very budget friendly! Thanks for your videos, Mark, they are excellent

[@markbone]

So cool! I’ll check it out

[@AndreasLiljegren]

For me you are a star in this genre. When others have peaked a long time ago you´re producing great content over and over. Keep it up... Ill keep watching...

[@markbone]

Wow, thanks man! I'll try and peak at 60

[@AndreasLiljegren]

@@markbone Always good to have a goal in life! ;)

[@derekreedderekforshort9064]

I gave a thumbs up as soon as you told us the time stamp to skip to... You’ve got my nomination for KZbinr of the year based on that good sir!

[@markbone]

Don’t want to waste anybody’s time!!

I'm so happy there's more parts to this

[@cefgil3905]

I haven’t shot one video yet nor do I have a camera but I’ve been watching a ton of KZbin vids on how to shoot and I have to say this is the best one I’ve seen thus far.

[@HuckleberryRoy]

thanks for putting together this series! I'm sure a lot of people will appreciate it!

[@MoCo_Filmmaker]

YES!!!! I'm very excited about this! Love this series man.

[@markbone]

Thanks man! Can't wait to release it

[@evaldsand3406]

Awesome!!! Thank you Mark for this, can't wait for the new episodes

[@AndroSpud]

Mark you sir are a bloody legend!! This series is absolutely fantastic. Exactly what aspiring videographers need. Good work my man!

[@markbone]

What movies did you see over the holidays??? (I saw: Uncut Gems, Waves, 1917... WOW WOW WOW, this year is insane for movies!)

[@CorbanLaFon]

Star Wars. Only Star Wars, but I saw it twice haha!

[@markbone]

@@CorbanLaFon I saw Star Wars... I got to say I'm glad they've wrapped up the Jedi Universe

[@CorbanLaFon]

@@markbone Yeah, I was pretty pleased with how it ended but I'm ready for more Rogue One/The Mandalorian type stories and production.

[@samvanrest]

Star Wars & the Irishman

[@bseligson1]

I saw Star Wars and uncut gems. I liked both but I’ve got a ton of opinions on uncut gems

[@Brian-Hansen]

This is a great video. I spent years in denial that I needed an external monitor. Finally, this year, I got one. I can 100% attest to it’s usefulness. Worth every penny! Keep up the great work, Mark.

[@dunnadidit]

3 questions. 1. Do you always(or nearly always shoot S-LOG2? 2. When you say 70%IRE, is that with the lut pre applied? 3. Does log change this at all for you (the whole overexposing log thing that everyone talks about)?

[@markbone]

1. Always 2. 70% is before LUT 3. ETTR (Expose to the Right) is a good principal but I still protect the skin tones for 70% even if I'm doing that, but with better sensors on newer pro cameras you can afford to have the skin tone in a lower range but I would never push it past 75%

[@dunnadidit]

Mark Bone - dope! Thanks dude. So just to clarify... when you’re viewing your false colors, it’s with no lut on the monitor then?

[@markbone]

@@dunnadidit I create a second page on my small HD that has the false colours on the Slog. Technically false colours shouldn't apply to your LUT but it depends the monitor

[@dunnadidit]

Mark Bone - that explains my confusion well. My monitor seems to apply the false colors after the lut. Thanks for your help dude! Your stuff always looks crispy!

[@VisualsbyBruno]

Mark thank you for the continued amounts of practical information you're packing into these videos. Been keeping up with your channel since you appeared in a video with Matti. Cant wait for the rest of the series to roll out!

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Great content, love the series Mark!

[@markbone]

Thanks brother!!

[@MizoElgabry]

So much helpful information in this video, and I can't wait for the rest of the series.

[@markbone]

Thanks Moaz!!

[@grahamriach3297]

For a monitor on a budget, I'd really recommend the Feelworld F6 Plus 5.5"! It has a Touch Screen, 3D Lut support, False Colour, 4K HDMI etc. Mine was 250 Euros.

[@neoray10]

naaice , how bright is the monitor ?

[@grahamriach3297]

@@neoray10 Hi there, it could be brighter - I think it's 500 nits - but for indoor work it's great and there is a small sunhood comes in the box.

[@visualsbyferg9047]

agreed i have it its a great monitor for the money

[@tim.van.emmerloot]

Yeah was looking at that one...

[@graffitirasto]

hi sir. what you see on the camera, is what you see on the monitor? 500 nits in bright sunlight, can you see anything? does the hood help? thank you

[@Plaughrey]

POWER STONE 2!!! Probably the game I have the most fond memories of! Glad you found that relic of gaming history

[@markbone]

One of the best fighting games of all time. I think it's better than Smash Bro's in that genre

[@aaronbrungardt1527]

Hell yeah! Thanks for doing this. I just got my first on-camera monitor this last month and it is a serious game changer.

[@JulesFredericNerestant]

I would absolutely love if you could make a video showing what lighting situations call for a mattebox and topflag. Most youtubers only talk about the filters, but I'm more curious to know how the basecamp is affected by not having side flags. Thanks for the great info MB!

Thanks for this information , I been shooting with out an external monitor, need to get me one now ! Looking forward to this series!

[@JamesLavish]

Awesome tips and work, Mark. Photographer here coming into the video world and have learned a ton from you, so thanks! On the LUTs, have you heard of the Leeming Luts? They are technical, not creative, and were created for specific profiles (i.e., Sony sLog, HLG, and CINE, as well as some Panasonic and others) back to an accurate picture of what the eye was seeing when recording. Anyway, Gerald Undone did a whole video about this and I found it super helpful for color accuracy when recording. (Different then your LUTs on set to see if you are getting what you desire for the final edited image, but maybe helpful nonetheless)✌

[@sarahdippity]

Do you have a link to the little monitor used here? Thanks Mark.

[@brycelemon5490]

I need to take notes 📝

[@ClipsCq]

Yes please release the luts

[@mrsnoo86]

Cinematic? Easy! Just add a blackbars.png. Done. 😂 lol jk. What a nice guide video! Love it!

[@markbone]

Haha. Right??

[@PaulStrople]

I used to not like the idea of external monitors (mostly an added size, weight thing). But I recently purchased an Atomos Ninja V... and now I almost never shoot without it. 😂🥰

[@filmscorecom]

great tips! 👍

[@JHernz]

Thank you, Mark, for all these tips. I was considering to get a monitor but I was debating on the small Hd or Atomos Ninja V, but now watching this video I learned from the BM5 which I never heard of. Thanks for all this info, it always helps especially when coming from someone that has been doing this for many years. Thanks once again and keep bringing these vids. God bless

After watching this video, I got more excited to get my monitor from Desview. It has false colors as well and can load luts. 😁 I also have a light similar to yours. Cool!

[@MomentMediaSW]

I'm just here trying to figure out how to decide already on set what type of grade you want and having luts ready for it lol. I rarely buy luts but if you post the ones you're typically sporting in your monitors I'm definitely going to buy them and try this kind of workflow.

[@markbone]

Great idea!!

[@Momaln]

I still don’t understand how to properly color grade slog and all those flat profiles. What LUT are you using? I’ve seen multiple LUTS for slog at day/ night/ different weathers. But shouldn’t it really always be the same LUT, since it is converting the same way? Do you have recommendations for an slog LUT?

[@markbone]

I think starting off with a standard LOG to REC709 LUT can be helpful in a pinch. If you’re designing it manually you have to really work the S-Curve and split toning and even the saturation (with Sony) to get the colours to pop
