[@jacques_crafford]

Who wants to see a lighting breakdown!?

[@PametniTelefoniRS]

Great video! It would be great if you do the light breakdown video. Also, what wireless monitor sistem you reccomend? Something in this range $300-$700. Thanks

[@LouwLemmer]

The value of these videos is so immense. You rock dude!

[@jacques_crafford]

Lekker lekker aweeeeeeh!

[@durbancraig]

Thank you for the explanations and clips showing how focus pulling is carried out. I have a late model Sony using AF most of the time and I was interested to see how professionals manage manual focus. (didn't know TBH) Very interesting - Craig, Durban.

Well done guys , keep up the amazing work, we keep following

[@jacques_crafford]

[@WakeUpMatt]

Such a great breakdown! Been looking at their wireless follow focus for a while!

[@jacques_crafford]

Yo, Matt. Thank you so much dude. Really glad to hear.🔥 I appreciate the support!

[@babyave]

shooting while pulling focus is so much fun. i actually feel more engaged with what im shooting (you have to be) autofocus just became so lazy to me, i still use it every now and then but majority of the time im using manual now

[@CalvinThompsonFilms]

Nice one Jacques! Crushing it :)

[@jacques_crafford]

Thank you Calvin! Appreciate the support, man! 🙏

[@musafirbaaz9491]

Another helpful video 😍 kindly tells me the Affordable options for wireless monitors for focus puller

[@stucooke3983]

Thanks for the video! Do you mind sharing what video transmission system you're using?

[@ericstephenvorm]

Super useful video with great explanations. Thanks for taking the time to put this together!

[@juandeswardt4818]

Epic JACQUES! Definitely checking this out!

[@jacques_crafford]

HOS JAAAA dankie bra!

[@Naumachia]

Amazing video as always! And yes, I want to see a lighting breakdown! I've just bought the S5 II so I'm actually stoked about using AF coming from an all MF workflow as a solo shooter. I've never really liked the little 'scroll' focus wheel on a handle but the MagicFIZ does seem nice. I still think it shines when having a focus puller which I never have 😅

[@jacques_crafford]

Thanks bro! Totally hear you about AF, I still love it but I'm digging the new Cine lenses so I'll be using a Focus Puller on my bigger shoots and I'll try the manual scroll wheel for some of the smaller stuff.

[@PGfreerun]

Fantastic work brother. Great video as always.

[@jacques_crafford]

Thanks bro, much appreciated!

[@nicolasalbanti9452]

Thank you, my brother. This is an amazing work. I hope you will show us the lighting and editing

[@jacques_crafford]

You're welcome brother, I'll definitely do something about lighting!

[@simotahiri]

Very nice explanation !! U rocks ! Wich wireless transmitter were u using ? Cuz we see a lot of new product in this area but most with latency and it's almost impossible to pull focus , in the other way of the spectrum , pro wireless transmitter get very expensive quickly....do u have some good recommandations in that way , no latency "cheap.."" alternative to share with us 🙏

[@delux1101]

Killin it as always

[@jacques_crafford]

Thank you my friend!

[@GlobalShutterNY]

Wish I had the luxury of a focus puller - not only a great assistant - but also the perfect person to 'blame' when you miss a shot ( I think pulling focus must be the most thankless job in cinema!)

[@brightboxproductions7463]

Thank you brother for the information

[@jacques_crafford]

You're welcome brother, I hope to share lots more with you!

[@napatsaeng]

Good job bro , love DZO lens ❤

[@jacques_crafford]

Thanks bro, I'm in love with those lenses!

[@trailsetter]

SmallRig is good company I like their products.

[@jacques_crafford]

I've been using their stuff for many years, love it!

[@kreativekraal]

Hey Mr. Crawford. Thanks for yet another dope video. Can u please make a video about your KZbin studio. Thank you in advance

[@jacques_crafford]

You're welcome bro! I'll make a video about the studio soon but I'm still busy setting it up so when it's done I'll do it :)

[@kreativekraal]

@@jacques_crafford thank you

[@NathanKatash]

waitnig for the breakdown :)

[@jacques_crafford]

Cool, hopefully not too long from now!

[@schoeferfilm]

Great tips as always my friend 👍🏻 I finished actually a short trailer with my FX6 still without focus puller 🙈 best cinematic greetings from germany

[@jacques_crafford]

Thank you my friend, I think a focus puller is a big luxury that most of us with AF can go without but it's so much fun when you have it!

[@Creativeseven]

I freakin love you bro haha thanks for making what you make!

[@jacques_crafford]

Brooo thanks you are most kind!

[@slimdim1419]

hello Jacques thank you for this video a question the digital device has the right hand written 99 what is it for?

[@meyerdigitalfilm]

quick Note Jaques the your links seem to be broken! Great Video and so true, i am on the leap to get into cinema glass and it will be necessary to have a good follow focus system 😞

[@jacques_crafford]

Dude thanks man, I fixed it! I have to say the Cinema Glass is not overrated and you'll see when you start using it, I can say that I'm happy with the SmallRig system!!!

[@PhilCrick]

What lens mount are you using for the DZO Vespids? Pretty sure they're EF/PL mount, and obviously FX3/FX30 is E-mount. Did you use DZO's mount?

[@gradianpictures]

what is the battery vmount on your rig setup and video transmission systems, Thanks

[@banadas3378]

Thank you my friend!

[@MrVh78]

naah AF is now really good, dont need focus pullers, bye bye focus pullers

[@jacques_crafford]

Until you have a complicated scene where AF doesn't work. I agree AF is amazing and I use it most of the time but there's a reason the entire film industry still shoots manual
