How do you make cutscenes with out a camera

Does this course educate on how to use the newest smart phones such as the I phone 16?

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

At 12:34 - "you're not gonna be able to see yourself when you're filming..." - I have a tip. Put a basic mirror, stand it behind the camera where you can see the camera screen in the mirror. Have been doing this for yrs.

What I’d like to know is how the heck your narrative is so clean, nearly flawless. Do you write a script? Do you have a teleprompter? How do you do it?!

Normally I actually do script my videos to keep it as streamlined as possible but this one I just mapped out basic notes and then just spoke straight into the camera with no teleprompter.

[@3x6pl]

I'll just add this as apparently many people don't know, that some androids (definitely samsung galaxy, not sure about the others) have the option to wirelessly mirror phone's screen onto any other screen with wifi (smart view), or you can use chromecast connected to any screen at all to do it.

[@matt22blaster]

13:38. If you're on Android you can mirror to almost any smart watch excluding apple and any other computer, tablet or smart tv, excluding Apple. If you don't want to deal with wireless you could simply use USB-C to HDMI and hook up to any monitor or TV. Any feature apple has android has had for 3-5 years, apple just doesn't introduce it until they've found a way to monetize it.

[@JAMPROSOUND]

As much as I love Android devices, not all have usb to HDMI out. I just suggest people verify that function is an option before trying to shoot something serious. I've seen people not prepare and then have this assumption bite them come shoot time. Know your gear folks!

[@trentonmcanally]

Great Video! Samsung has the same capability to mirror your camera to your Galaxy Watch and Windows. Almost as seamless.

[@mimahstar]

I was about to comment on this! But I decided to check if someone else left a comment about it 😊.

[@DontCome2LA]

How

[@LikeTV]

Hello! As I understand it, the video was shot on an iPhone 13 or something like that. Maybe I'm wrong, but in my opinion the face looks quite flat. Is it possible to somehow set the lighting to create volume? How can you do this during the day, when the sun illuminates the entire room, and in the evening, when you use artificial light?

[@MrPaulXavier]

I shot this video in HDR and then edited in premiere pro which doesn't play nice with the HDR footage. In hindsight it would have improved a ton by NOT shooting in HDR so silly me for leaving that feature on. Additional time spend on lighting would also help

[@LikeTV]

Thanks for sharing!@@MrPaulXavier

[@neilgooge]

Oddly enough, right next to the PoP mic on your amazon search was the maybesta wireless lavalier mic. At 29.99 that thing is amazing, theres a reason it has 4.4 stars across 2.5k reviews. And while that one is lightning, for the iphone, they do a USB C one, but also do a multi adapter version that works in all phones and on digital cameras. And for about $10 more, theres a version that has a built in recharge case Hands down the best mic on a budget. So I would argue that mic and decent lights over the Rode setup or the DJI (even though, of course, they are better sound) :)

Hi @raywan22, absolutely agree! MagMirror helps ensure every shot is perfectly framed and lit when using your phone.

[@FrugalFlyRodder]

I've always advocated using a recorder when tethering might be an issue. The best suggestion I can give when doing so is to have the recorder and camera next to each other and clap your hands loudly. This will produce a spike on both soundtracks, allowing for better synchronization.

[@Heart_Central]

amazing tip! thanks for sharing that. I'm too new to actually have a camera and a recorder, but I'll remember this and remind future me. 😍

[@Tylru]

If I buy the better mic you suggest, could I just use my smartphone and an adapter to usb-c to record the audio? I'll be using a DSLR for the camera so wondering if I can save on needing to buy the dedicated recorder? Thanks!

In the 21'st century I just don't see the need for an expensive camera (for what I do, at least) to shoot great looking footage.

Great source of inspiration, Paul Xavier. A few weeks ago, I got an iPhone 15 Pro Max and I am shifting my videos from an SRL camera to my iPhone because of its versatility and light weight (I am mostly filming in the Alps hiking or ski touring and this is an issue). You seem to me a nice guy with a lot of true experience on the field so I am going to buy your course to learn more about it and take my productions to the next level. Thank you for sharing, men. If you come one day to Switzerland, just let me know. I know plenty of outdoors outstanding places to be shoot. Cheers!

Step 5: there are great wireless options that are a lot cheaper. Comica Vimo or Ulanzi are just two, for example. Ulanzi is about 50, the Comica for USB is about 100, for the iPhone about 20 more. I have the Comica because it has on-board gain and ability to monitor sound. Oh! And dead cats. Killer deal!

Thank you for all you teach. I've purchased your Content Creator and 14 Day Filmmaker courses and LOOOOOVE them. I wanted to add one thing you might want to edit into this current video. You mentioned in here that you could stream your phone camera to your computer or iWatch but said there was nothing for Android phones. That may be true for most Androids, but Samsung has a perfect solution called Samsung Flow. I didn't know about it myself until your comments inspired me to go searching for a solution. I just installed it on my phone and computer and it works like a charm. It can be streamed with tablets too. Sadly, I haven't yet been able to configure my Samsung watch, but it's supposed to work there too. But once again, THANK YOU, for all your great content and inspiration. Keep up the great work!!!

You can also stream your Android phone using OBS Studio and Iriun Webcam app (both of which are free to download).

I was able to watch it live while I was also recording her laying on the eggs. Works awesome!!!

[@OurHOMEschoolPlan]

The rhetorical stage of learning - being bf able to communicate what you know is spot on! In our faith, in anything….when you truly understand something, you should be able to explain it to some degree. And if you can’t, you’re ripe for being manipulated to something else. Behind every subject, there are facts and there is a why does this matter. So many focus on the why and skip over the why does this matter. And why does this matter is what I, as a homeschool mom, am constantly asking myself. What actually matters the most? Don’t skip out on those things and don’t stress over the things that just don’t matter in the grand scheme. Unfortunately, as you alluded, we’re wired to focus on the things that don’t always matter. That’s the education system we were raised in. Meanwhile the things that do matter are slipping through the cracks……this…our society has been “dumbed down.”

Hi thank you for your videos, where do you wach while filming?

[@damnkinky]

I'm getting started with a KZbin channel soon and this has been very helpful to me. Thank you.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Great to hear!

[@AudreyWiggins]

Thanks for your quick tutorial. I need to review your course again. It’s a great resource to be able to refer back to.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Always a good idea to come back for refreshers here and there

[@honghuynh3573]

Hi 👋 mrpaul best advice ever for real bro ,i have several question ,1)what about youtube title and description and tagging do you focus at them or no,2nd do you know a site where we hire people do the vidoe for us and we pay them

[@TakingItOfflineOfficial]

Do you use a teleprompter? Any tips on how you do the actual recording? Do you do it in one take? Or different layers?

[@MrPaulXavier]

Check out our channel we have a video on teleprompters!

I appreciated the great insights! Most were excellent. However, I didn't like the blurry edge of the subject against the background, that should have been sharper. The very first scene on the video, where you contast the footage of the $5K camera vs the iphone 14, shows exactly the difference am pointing out. The 5k camera had the sharp seperation between the subject and the background that I prefer, and that should be.

Great video Anthony. Also an Anthony 😜. I film and edit everything on my channel on my iPhone 14. One big thing I think you left out is to lock the focus. The iPhone will autofocus if you move around and will blur clips. That’s very frustrating. I edit and voiceover in splice app.

[@MrPaulXavier]

When I do talking head content like this I don't lock the focus because I want it to track me if I move.

[@NaturesHealthNurse]

This has been very useful as I just started my new channel and still navigating and acquiring more skills on how to grow.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Foveof]

Is there a detailed video on what camera setup do you have ?

[@liceelot]

Thank you so much! I have a question. How to upload your iPhone videos to KZbin, is coming out in QuickTime format and I can't upload.
