Do THIS When Shooting Food

[@robertruffo2134]

The Internet actually provides very few cinematography resources from real pros doing real work, and you're very good at explaining how you did things simply and concisely. Thank you so much for omitting useless "My man Joey and I then went out for pizza and had lots of laughs" style filler also so typical of KZbin learning content. Subscribed!

[@ScottPetersFilms]

Very happy to hear that Robert! Welcome 🙏🏻

[@lukerodelyfilms]

Scott your breakdowns are addictive, so snappy and informative!

[@ScottPetersFilms]

Thanks Luke glad you find them so! :)

[@historytaolana6171]

Great tips especially about the shutter speed and angles, great job and i think now i know hoe to shoot food.

[@seantheawesome1]

Yes yes yes please do more vids like this! I love your normal videos but a few of these sprinkled in would be rather lovely

[@patrykfudali9284]

loved the video and explaining everything! Super helpful for those learning about lighting and getting the right shots

[@ScottPetersFilms]

Glad you found it helpful :)

[@remindfilms]

Would love to see your cinematography breakdowns

[@dan_carney]

Love your breakdowns mate! Can't wait for the next one.

[@ScottPetersFilms]

Thanks Dan :) glad you’re enjoying them

[@airindiana]

Def appreciate some more cinematography/lighting breakdowns

[@hakeemgravesande]

Yes Please! For the cinematography for the this ad 🙏🏼

[@NOURA1556]

thank you so much that was really helpful and love to see more specially about lighting on budget

[@t-rexproductions807]

ohhh we would absolutely want to hear your cinematography tips and breakdowns.

[@lewisfilms]

Yes please share more cinematography insights!

[@JosiahObregon]

Yes want to see more cinematography break downs!!

[@PaulMoldovan]

Dropping gems, as usual😁

[@jdpowerr6850]

Never seen you before, but subscribed within the first 10 seconds of the video. Just knew it was gonna be a quality video/channel

[@ScottPetersFilms]

Hero 🦸

[@TurquoiseFilms]

Great video, mate. Love your channel.

[@tomfodenfilm]

Great pro tips, especially with the shutter angle. Shot a few food commercials before and loved them but had the same issue with the faster motion. Defiantly going to put this in play, cheers :)

[@ScottPetersFilms]

Glad to hear it's was of value to you!

[@realprogger]

Hey mate! I need a lens for top shootings and there is important thing, i have to post 16:9 & 9:16 as well. im going to 20mm. Thoughts? I shoot with sony a7cii

[@ScottPetersFilms]

The focal length of your lens doesn’t impact what ratios you want to shoot on, it just impacts the style of how you’d shoot something. You can shoot on 100mm and still make it work both those ratios, it just depends on what look you want to achieve.

[@DavidStrib]

Another Scott Peters banger

[@tony_gvrd]

MAKE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS !!! LOVE IT

[@ScottPetersFilms]

Check out my latest short 👀 I have a much longer form one ready to publish just waiting for the work to go live 😁

[@nickbradyfilms]

more cinematography breakdowns!! these are great

[@ScottPetersFilms]

I’ve added to the latest video! Plan to share more in the future when I’m the DP on a job

[@kylehalim5957]

Where can i watch the full video of the ads?

[@johnstewart3391]

Thanks for sharing BTS on how to light food shots. Please continue adding BTS video of lighting setups. Cheers!

[@ScottPetersFilms]

Will do John

[@tungle20]

Scott, I too shoot food videos, not as much in the budget range as yours. I understood the lighting techniques and camera parameters you use in your videos perfectly, but I think people are more interested if they can see you ACTUALLY do it on set instead of just talking head and illustration. Because for people who just start out or have little experience in this, they can't understand a single word you say, because it's professional filmmaking lingo AND they have not experienced themselves. How you can achieve that is totally up to you, I ask my student to shoot behind the scenes photos and videos for me all the time. I still pay them but not a huge amount of course.

[@ScottPetersFilms]

This is definitely something I'd like to do in the future, I don't always know if I'm going to be making a video about a job until after the fact, but rest assured it's something I'm consciously trying to do more of :)

[@danielurieldumebi]

I agree with you I most times find it difficult to understand just talking heads without visually seeing a break down

[@jonahlevine]

Love it dude!

[@Vini.The.Artist]

what lens did you use for the sandwich commercial?

[@MarcoZhang689]

Yes! More please!

[@zansi3757]

Yes please!

[@egearslan5240]

YESSSS

[@BryceMiguelWilliams]

What camera allowed such high framrates?

[@ScottPetersFilms]

RED V-Raptor

[@품헤이]

It would be nice to see some behind-the-scenes footage of food videos.

[@mfjae]

could i get the video link to the food ad reference you spoke about? would love to see what their ad looked like

[@kirubelyirdaw3011]

please keep the lightinng and cinematography explanation

[@ScottPetersFilms]

Will do :)

[@kingmuhu]

More more more. There is not much on youtube at this level on commercial work. So more break downs.

[@ScottPetersFilms]

Check out the rest of the channel :) there’s a bunch more commercial breakdowns 🎥

[@lime61]

Great breakdown! Is it a stylistic choice that you didnt want motion blur on the sausages? I would typically shoot at 180 shutter to keep things looking smooth with the added motion blur. But would you typically shoot at a lower shutter for slow-motion to remove moiton blur so you can freeze the action? Just trying to get my head around if its best to have a bit of motion blur or non at all. But also, when shooting at 240 or higher for example, your capturing action so fast anyway that motion blur wont be much of an issue? Or does it depend on how fast the object is moving that is being captured I suppose. look forward to more videos!

[@ScottPetersFilms]

Definitely a stylistic choice, for sure, but I would typically shoot at a lower shutter speed for this sort of slow mo yeah. It’s down to your personal preference. I don’t think there’s any rules to anything I just try and replicate things I see that I like, or repeat things I like that I’ve executed before.

[@kudobeats]

2 questions if you would be so kind sir scott: 1. I like to light from the right and I am happy to see you did in this video too. There is some chat about how keylight should be on the left because...thats how we read? Does it really matter? and 2. The video was nice and warm and the I saw the camera was set to daylight in the video. When do you decide to gel vs setting the WB to something warmer. Thank you and I really love the videos as someone who shoots food

[@ScottPetersFilms]

1. That’s made up nonsense - the key light can come from where ever you want it to. The only thing that I try to live by is motivating light in frame, normally for effect and practical lights but could definitely apply ti the key, e.g. there’s a large window on the right, then the light come from the right, there’s a warm hair light, then there’s a warm practical in frame (ideally) but there doesn’t have to be. 2. This was some time ago now but from memory we balanced everything to the practical fairy lights whose colour temperature we couldn’t control, so everything else was gelled around that.

[@kudobeats]

@@ScottPetersFilms Cheers for that. It's one of them things where you hear about it and then you can't unsee it. And that makes total sense regarding the white balance. I appreciate it and look forward to more of these!

[@foodiii7]

Bro what music do you use

[@mirko.paoloni]

Please talk more about ur cinematography ! yes there are a lot of channels but you're unique

[@ScottPetersFilms]

Thanks Mirko - kind of you to say mate :)

[@LebaneserScrooge]

Man this is all beautiful footage, but it's like you're speaking Greek to me. I'm a chef of 30 years, recently started a channel and am trying to up my game, but this all so intimidating. Do you offer like beginner tutorials or lessons?

[@repair_labtop.]

1200 w? power aputure 1200 d

[@ScottPetersFilms]

Aputure 1200D was the key yeah 👍🏻

[@augustoliver2779]

Why do individuals opt for videos in which their voice exudes a solemn and commanding tone and pitch?

[@AxTechs]

I like these types of lighting breakdowns, but I think what makes your channel special is that you don't go into that as much. Rather you go into the aspects of prep, production, directing and communication which I honestly don't see any over channel on YT cover

[@Digitallifeconcepts]

brand sensibilities? EG Identity?

[@nicholashannah]

Man this is a great video but the clickbait title leaves a bit of a sour taste
