Commercial Cinematography Behind the Scenes | DJI RONIN 4D

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

As a R4D owner over the last couple years, this camera is WEIRD. But also absolutely incredible!

[@carlostigs]

Agreed!

[@JS_Leger]

why do you think this camera is WEIRD?

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

@@JS_Leger the shape and form factor of it! It can only use certain lenses and it has a built in gimbal. Definitely not your “traditional” cinema camera but WELL WORTH the investment if you’re looking into it!

[@jonathanl7883]

Beautiful work man, you really utilized the 4D very well and the images look amazing, the lighting, movement and motivation is excellent. Super tasteful use of a tool too. Most of the 4D content I see focuses way too much on trying to make it feel like it’s a Hollywood production or something rather that focusing on getting great cinematography. IMO, the tech of the 4D is what should allow or “free” you NOT to focus on the tech but to put your energies elsewhere to heighten the work, which is what you’ve done. Excellent!!

[@everonproducties]

Oh man am I excited to recieve my 4D next week, coming from a FX6 (which is also amazing). But the 4D seems like something next level, great vid!

[@staticmotion1628]

Awesome BTS man thank you for the break down yeah i love the 4D i'm a avid RED DP but for the past few years since the ronin came out i fell in love with that camera i use it on all my shoots now combined with the RED i also am usually the colorist for the spots and they match very well combined with good glass the 4D can look amazing anyway great looking stuff Carlo take care

[@carlostigs]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@tidescapefilms]

Such a fantastic insight into your workflow and head space during these shoots. A lot to be learnt from your films by budding cinematographers and filmmakers in general!. Thank you and keep them coming!

[@SamLucas26]

Dude, loved seeing this ad. Local, PA based DP/production company here (Kairos Creative Co. out of State College), been following Aumen for a while and the work they're creating for Camelback and it's always sick seeing what you guys pull off. Y'all are leading the charge of turning this central PA corridor down towards Philly into a really popping production hub. Keep crushing, man!

[@carlostigs]

Thanks man!

[@EricBates]

Loved this. Fantastic lighting, amazing to see the BTS. You'd never guess you guys were in a fort for the first restaurant shot, and the wedding looks great (lens flare tip was cool, and a nice insight into the little extras you can sprinkle on). Thanks for sharing!

[@mattcfilms]

Great break down, really cool to see your approach to lighting and blocking!

[@Ajjakakkaka]

My home mountains are blue mountain or bear creek in PA, but I’ve been meaning to head up to camelback one of these seasons! So cool that you’re filming so close to me

[@carlostigs]

Go for it!

[@myvideoguy]

Mate that internal chinese restaurant scene looks 👌. Great job on the wedding / reception look. Love the moving lekos, and that wipe across the bride in the cut, perfect choice editor. Set yourself up for success in that lighting setup and it paid dividends!!

[@laoyeoluwatobi61]

Thanks for making a breakdown of how you lit and shot this project.

[@mauriceklemm1548]

What was your exact lens Setup did you also have a pro mist on? And as a 4d owner I often have the problem with noise in blacks. How did you feel about that ?

[@andrewsaraceni]

Lots of great bits of information in this, thanks for the breakdown!

[@carlostigs]

Thanks!

[@zahkilovett]

great breakdown

[@VideoUpskill]

[@nourisardardp]

Love this breakdown, thanks for sharing!

[@carlostigs]

Glad it was helpful!

[@SaintProductions1]

Nice breakdown thanks for sharing

[@Vishnukanakath]

Awesome stuff thank you for sharing.

[@vividmotion66]

Thanks for sharing mate

[@TLFILMS]

thank you, you said the thing at 2:00, not being that kind of DOP "bah let's do this with Ronin 2 and Teradek and a cine cam" etc (pretentious accent), this tool is nice for this project with lot of movements and skiing. At the end, it's the best tool for decent budget and image. I struggle between buying Komodo-X and the 4D, I do a lot of automotive, and your video helps me to choose the 4D for my use.

[@TLFILMS]

PS: where can we see the final ads please? To watch it in full res full screen and enjoy the work.

[@theseventh2609]

Another Carlo banger 😰

[@cjmurr]

Can you share a link to the light boom stand

[@jelanmaxwell4762]

Love it

[@thejackoss]

Great content as always. Hope you're recovering well!

[@carlostigs]

Thank you

[@digitalskyjourney]

Thanks for sharing the breakdown! The VFX was great! Curious to know how much did you use the lidar AF vs a 1st ac/focus puller. Do you think one day AF will be good enough to not have a puller?

[@carlostigs]

It was okay. Worked well in some scenarios but others it had a hard time deciding what was supposed to be in focus. I don’t think it’ll replace anytime soon. Focus is a creative tool

[@UUSER-d2x]

Thank you for the breakdown and inspiring me, where can i watch the full commercial?

[@carlostigs]

Check out Aumen film co

[@jagphotofilms]

Great video brother - what lenses did you use for this one? I know you mentioned Anamorphic but I'm curious to know how you can pair this rig with different adapters and lenses. Eager to try one soon.

[@carlostigs]

I don’t remember each one. Some Sony, some sigma and the Laowa nanomorph. It is interchangeable but not many lens will work due to weight

[@nshaps]

Watch time = 16:29 😂 this was awesome

[@XylographFilms]

Great!!

My dream is being a actor and film maker 🎬. I would like to speak to you

[@ChimeThinker]

Whoa, why are they eating sushi at a Chinese restaurant or why is there Chinese props at a Japanese restaurant?
