LOVE the fact that you jumped right into philosophy as opposed to the technology. People need this!

[@MountUpMedia]

Thanks hadji! I appreciate that family !

[@AndresArosemena]

Great video. A lot of good information. Would love longer videos for each subject. How do you know the ratio using false color tool in Resolve like you suggested for practice with other DPs shots?

[@64dr64d]

Love it, subscribed man.

[@MountUpMedia]

Thanks! I really appreciate that!

[@Hosseincu]

Sooo much value here. Thanks for sharing these all brother.

[@MountUpMedia]

Thanks brother! 🤟🏾

[@haydennutsch9342]

If you made a video solely about your lighting experience thoughts and techniques and gear I would STUDY it

[@MountUpMedia]

I think that’s a great idea ! I could talk forever about it !

[@nicolaeionescu4646]

Thankyou man 😊😊😊😊

[@71-Films]

You are literally the first person talking about cinematography that talks about grip gear! (former american football player and new subscriber)

[@MountUpMedia]

Haha I’ve noticed that hole. I’ve built a ton of shitty rigs because of it haha

[@ericdargan]

Incredible video

[@MountUpMedia]

Thanks brother !

[@michaelkerkering7047]

So blessed I’m lucky enough to be shooting a film with you soon 🙏🏼

[@MountUpMedia]

An entire 6 months of prep! We got this!

[@TwistedCulture]

This was an incredible video bro, lots of gems in here! I will say the Tip video meeter did get a little distracting at times. I'd say either make it slightly transparent or only show it in between tips or while you are talking to the camera

[@MountUpMedia]

That’s really good feedback! Thank you, tbh, I really don’t like it lol

[@TwistedCulture]

@@MountUpMedia Ah yeah then you're probably better off without it. I'm excited to see where you take this channel tho!

[@MountUpMedia]

@@TwistedCulture thanks brother!

[@mikep9951]

Awesome tips! I thought about a light meter. Guess I'll pull the trigger.

[@MountUpMedia]

Do it man! Eventually you won’t need it as much because your eye will develop but MAN it really helped unpacked the things that I was actually really bad at! Haha

[@shareekwillis2799]

I can't deny it, just like those hips.. yo cinematography does not lie.😂😂😂

[@MountUpMedia]

Haha i should’ve used that song instead lowkey

[@JRPeacock]

Great tips. Can you drop a link to the light meter you're using?

[@MountUpMedia]

Yes, I’ll put it in the description when I get back to my desktop! Great idea

[@ReggieBellDP]

I’m on the same path brother retired nfl player also turned DP

[@MountUpMedia]

Oh yeah!? That’s awesome man! It’s an addicting industry ! Wishing you the best along your journey! How many years did you do !?
