Great video guys - best explanation of shutter speed I've seen. The drummer was an awesome example!

[@flutechannel]

^^^^^^^^^ LEGEND

[@thatjordandrake]

Thanks Ted! I've been wanting to show that demonstration for a long time!

[@heartlandlight6862]

Oh. It's you. Wow.

[@terrybuchanan1]

yeah, very helpful, best explanation i've seen. i'd really like to see more of this.

[@CymBan]

Have to agree here, I've always heard about it but never seen it demonstrated so clearly. Good job guys.

[@extremelydave]

I vote yes for more of this!!! 6 gold stars!!!! Video tips AND photo tips mixture would be awesome. DPR got much more informative and less snobby when they they hired the big guns!!!! I vote for trapezoid..........

[@scdobserver835]

Dave Nelson I'm a contrarian. I prefer rectangle.

[@XavierAncarno]

Legend say, they’re still at the lake arguing between square and trapezoid

[@familleenglert]

A square is also a trapezoid, in either case saying "trapezoid" will be right.

[@scdobserver835]

Xavier Ancarno I prefer rectangle!

[@jagerardi]

Yeah, but they're both wrong. It's a parallelogram! ..Joe

[@kefkafloyd]

I would have used the term "quadrilateral." Trapezoids, parallelograms, squares, rhombuses, they're all quadrilaterals.

[@oneeyedphotographer]

These days, is there a practical difference between NTSC and PAL?

[@Emimarson]

It's great for you both to move from TCSTV to DP, because can focus on making videos, not only gears review, but valuable tutorials too! Looking forward to your new journey, definitely enjoy more and more good contents.

[@andytee88]

DPReview made a really good choice scooping these 2 up

[@AlGreenLightThroughGlass]

You summed up in ten minutes what it took me years to learn.

[@dangernba]

They just put all the essential techniques for video in one single tutorial, this is great indeed. With more videos like this everyone will learn much faster. Greetings from Brazil.

[@MrChomiq]

Jordan's finally getting his video dedicated series, great!

[@OlintoeRafaelaCicloturismo]

My vote is that you should keep on going in this way, you are doing a great job. Very easey to understand and usefull! Thanks again from Brazil

[@MartinVlaykov]

Brothers, YOU SHOULD CHANGE YOUR NEWEST VIDEOS TO BE ON THE lEFT SIDE OF YOUR PAGE .All the best and thanks for everything you do.

[@etjernlund]

Not only was I in great need for the actual information, I love how you made this with humor and at quick and tight pace. Thank you!

[@thatryguygamer1616]

Holy shite guys, while I knew all of this, this is just an amazing video! Take it from dude who works in a camera store, you guys nailed this, amazing! Thank you!

[@danielwiednerfotografie663]

Yes these are the videos I am interested in. Keep the tutorials coming :)

[@bodkinsbestphotography]

I've never had much interest in video, but I must admit, this was at the very least an informative watch.

[@oregonduc]

I liked how the explanation is simplified

[@AdamMuise]

Just jumped onto this from your newer KZbin guides. You should totally refresh this for your KZbin studio guides

[@MikeJamesMedia]

I'm one who would enjoy seeing more of these, and respect Jordan's experience. I've been shooting stills forever, but my video tends to be less than stellar. Everything from basics onward is welcome! Thanks.

[@shyamalganguly3598]

I'm thrilled and excited to know more. You're incredible, guys!!

[@TimothyGordon]

This legitimately makes my day seeing you two do a tutorial. Amazing!!!

[@daveassender1099]

deepers is perfect - use it - it opens up so many opportunities for connotations, innuendo, strongly implies your audience are people who like in-depth reviews and, if nothing else, rhymes with sneakers

[@JoshuaKoerner]

Would appreciate greater than one video a week... That was my big hope by you all moving to DP Review

[@ulfw]

Great job Chris and Jordan!

[@TheRiehlthing]

This is excellent and just what I needed. I am a real estate photographer and want to get into real estate videography. I need all the help I can get!

[@BryceGarling]

I need these videos more than everyone.

[@peterkettle8683]

Thanks for this. I have enjoyed taking stills for many years, but I am new to video, and your shutter speed comparisons perfectly showed why it is so important.

[@dylanreilly6888]

Fantastic instructional video, thank you Chris and Jordan!

[@michaelj7069]

This was great. Very informative for a novice with video.

[@82300sd]

love the direction this is going, great job guys, looking forward to more

[@JerryLane]

Really great referential video guys. Teaching some kids about filmmaking at the moment and this is an ideal reference point to send them to.

[@thomaslam]

Thank you guys, waiting for something like this for a long time. Looking forward for more.

[@cameraconspiracies]

You guys are the best!

[@scottslotterbeck3796]

Very good! A lucid, easy-to-understand explanation of the exposure square. Well done, men! I've been photographing for decades, doing video for less than one decade, so this is very helpful!

[@Quietcloud]

I've been waiting for videography tutorials! Thanks!

[@ochjoo77]

Best episode so far! You guys rock when you play against each other!

[@garystarnes5178]

8:58 Jordan says square as he holds up a rectangle. :) Thanks for another great video guys!

[@thatjordandrake]

It was only when I was editing that moment that I realized my index fingers are longer than my thumbs.

[@ColinRobertson_LLAP]

"Gangsters And Industry Ninjas" LOL! 🤣 I love seeing this kind of content along with the reviews. Great stuff fellas! On gain vs ISO, I come from the audio world and gain in regards to image sensors conceptually makes more sense to me (from a photographer perspective).

[@dangernba]

Amazing video! Even better than gear review. You guys put all the essential techniques in one single tutorial, thank you very much. Funny and instructive as always.

[@taylorpearson6266]

So glad you made this! Great job guys!

[@IqbalKurniawan]

Best video I've ever watched on DPReview channel! Informative, tight pace, and even has humor in it! I'd love to see more tutorial videos aside from gear reviews from you guys! Hoping someday you could give tips about static and dynamic camera movements.

[@beliefbeyond]

Easy, useful, to the point, fun. Exactly what I need as I move from photography to video recording. Good stuff!

[@NickAuskeur1]

Really good vid, very clear. Looking forward to more on this subject. Cheers guys!

[@Preacherski]

Probably? Get on it son. I can never expose log with confidence. Help is needed and needed now. Thank you

[@ericmadrid8626]

I love this series... thank you!

[@kessrock]

Great job as always guys!

[@scottslotterbeck3796]

The tip on fixed vrs variable ND filters was gold! Never knew that, in learning about video for 5-6 years. That alone makes this episode gold. And, you guys are naturals. Once a week is fine with me, with an occasional gear review thrown in. I do like a slightly slower, more relaxed pace, like the fishing video.

[@PaulBawby]

Great video guys! As someone transitioning from photography to hybrid shooting I welcome such a series ✌

[@deanisplemoni]

"Hey everyone, it's Jordan"... *legs suggestively crossed, short shorts on show. Love it.

[@itsGAMiE]

Wow, I totally love your videos. Very usable info. Learnt a great deal from you guys.

[@michaelkelleher714]

Very good. About time some straightforward and straight-talking photography tips, info and tricks. Gives me some of my "MO-JO" to get my camera out and get shooting. Thanks guys and DPReview. Well done. Thanks.

[@romanchukanov4454]

I do not know why I like this bickering about squares vs. trapezoids so much...

[@kgwild1798]

Great video guys !! Very informative. Really enjoyed it. Thanks

[@beltenebrosgr1904]

Thank you soooooo much. Great video!!!! KEEP THEM COMING... JUST SUBSCRIBED!

[@JasonMilner]

Great video, looking forward to more in this series!

[@bachphoto]

Great explanation of video basics! Nice job guys!

[@GabrielFFontes]

Nice one as always, Chris and Jordan!

[@GregWatermann]

Beautiful. A perfect amount of information.

[@fatheadmediapro]

You guys are the Bill Nyes of photography and videography. Love it. Thanks!

[@mattiebrownoz]

You guys flow really well. Lots of info and you don't just love to hear your own voice. Thumbs up. I'm going to look for any Panasonic Vlog stuff you have now.

[@DustinBKerensky97]

OMG I love these videos so much. Very well done, I learned a lot in a short time without feeling like I was in a lecture, and it's entertaining. Keep it up.

[@DustinBKerensky97]

Also I don't know if it applies to cameras enough to fit the series but I'd like to see Jordan's basic video editing workflow. Not specifics on using an editing tool, but how to keep clips organized, do you assemble the raw clips in order then apply color and audio profiles, etc. Something simple so photographers can put together easy 3-5 video clips without looking like it was assembled by a millennial on a cellphone but also so it doesn't take 4 weeks to edit 5 mins of basic content.

[@typer1911]

This was sooo helpful for me! You guys just explain things so well. Also love the little jokes in between lmao. Cant wait for a video for log recording!!

[@Benjamin_Jehne]

I'am starting to dive into video, so yes, please go on with that series.

[@Sliff]

a video about panning with 24p on the GH5 would be great!

[@Jigsaw407]

Awesome! That thing with the door cracked me up. :D

[@waynehu4086]

Great job guys! I usually take photos but this one still benefits...

[@voodoonights1671]

Very useful. I don't do a lot of video but now i understand more of the basics

[@supertaufiqr]

Awesome thanks! I don't have any clue when it comes to video and this video is great!

[@gustavocampos1969]

We want MORE!!!! Thanks!

[@thorbjrnm3636]

Great video, keep'em coming!!

[@joelschafer]

It seems like every channel I watch eventually reaches a popularity level where they start a weekly chat show of some kind and then feeding that beast sucks all the time away from producing the type of content that made them successful in the first place. So, I'm really happy that the move to DP Review has freed them of TCS Live and now they are getting back to high gear. That's not to say anything these guys make isn't worth watching but personally I'd much rather watch this that a random interview.

[@tiger_powers]

Very good, easy understandable & helpful video :-) !! Thanks, great to watch

[@mokhtarchahine]

Awesome Video guys. You really DP'd it nicely.

[@anthonyhall9453]

Love this. Thanks guys.

[@lucaraimondo5967]

You guys are great! It would be really great also photography tutorials!

[@thetankslapper]

This turns equipment investments into profit creating skills. So much more important than equipment riviews. But always looking forward to. both. It's no surprise that DP picked up this team. They were sorely lacking what these guys iffer: personally.. And a wise choice for them to accept. I hope it leads to even greater opportunities for them. But keep it simple please.

[@derekmidgley]

Great work guys!

[@harleycooper9717]

Awesome! Looking forward to more!

[@atalipsos9799]

Great tutorial .... make more of that. I love it.

[@martinisbutik]

This is awesome! I love this kind of content :)

[@samuelmingo5090]

Fantastic video guys!

[@jamesburris8456]

Excellent guys...great idea on the tutorial. Im not a video shooter but enjoyed the bite sized tips!!

[@MarkThomas1]

Great video for me as someone who, as a photographer is looking to get into video. Thanks guys.

[@LearningFast]

Good job guys. Great video.

[@cactustweeter2890]

I did find this video useful. Please make more of these videos that talk about how to make better videos using your digital interchangeable lens camera. Nice job guys.

[@MartinKulle]

Useful tips guys. Thanks a lot.

[@AndysCuts]

You guys are the best. Thank you

[@kaizen9986]

more please... great video when two of you are not arguing, funny though ... love your videos

[@paulhills1967]

Really good tutorial. Thanks guys.

[@NighthunterNyx]

This is great idea guys! Keep the video tutorials coming. I could not find the guidance about shutter speed on Internet when I bought my NEX-5 camera in 2010 and ended up with some weird 1/500s videos. When done with basic parameters it may be worth going to some techniques for shooting video of basic scenes like interview, conversation etc. e.g. to always shoot conversation from one side of the people talking.

[@WTymKraju]

Four weeks and 30k more subscribers. Well done boys, all the best!

[@thatjordandrake]

Tell your friends!

[@scottgmaclean]

Great stuff - please do more like this!

[@jaishrikrishna9503]

Thanks for the video. I learned a lot today.

[@WTymKraju]

I am very happy to see more episodes about videography and I hope to learn a lot from you. So I vote yes for more educational videos.

[@docwest114]

Great video guys!

[@Daniel_Jones541]

I love these videos. It's definitely a trapezoid...

[@fetzinger10]

Really interesting stuff! Thanks guys! I´d love to see a complete behind the scenes of the making of an episode. With all the practical steps, preparation work, all the intricacies, lighting, sound, you guy´s comments about what you´re just doing and why you´re doing it and on and on and on..... right to the process of editing and uploading! I´m a curious person, right? It really intrigues me, I think it´s the fastest way to learn for photographers who want to get into the video side of things.

[@chcomes]

jordan, you are getting so much better!!

[@thatjordandrake]

Thanks Christian!

[@BuckKahlerNolpix]

Thanks guys! Going to use this for my students!

[@mightymuffinful]

Fantastic tips! Thanks

[@LE672AJ]

Great guide, gents. More of this kind of stuff please :)

[@marklaurendet1861]

Very good, hope this is the start of a beginners series

[@user-kt8yi5rk7v]

You guys are doing great.
