“The job of the video is to make you feel like you’ve cooked this once before.” This is so absolutely true. I’ve never been able to put my finger on what makes your recipe videos so much better than other KZbin cooks, but this is exactly it. When I cook your recipe videos, it does feel like I have cooked it once before because I have seen you complete the whole process without skipping or montaging parts of the process.

[@taakotuesday]

Another thing that I think help Adam is the care he puts into pointing out the things you should be looking for in buying ingredients, or in the preparation phases. Like, as an example, Ethan has a video about Mexican-style chopped cheese and peppers, where you roast a poblano pepper with a hunk of pepperjack or Oaxaca cheese inside. When I tried that, the brand of pepperjack I had was way too watery, and it basically evaporated and burned before I was even able to brown the poblano. I couldn't help thinking that if Adam had made this video, he would have made a very clear point about the quality of pepperjack that can be used forcthis recipe, like how he extensively covers the type of low-moisture whole milk mozzarella that's good for home pizza.

Adam, when you are "abusing" the Focusing Effect for movement, That has terms too! When the focus is going from something close, to something far away, that's called a "Focus Throw" When it's coming from something far to something close up, that's a "Focus Pull" You Pull the focus in, and then you throw it out. Lots of film makers use it to direct attention.

[@xWood4000]

And the zoom that happens is not intentional, it's technically a defect called focus breathing. It can help to make something more interesting, but videographers/cinematographers consider it bad because they want control over it, and purposely use it as an effect if needed.

8:30 The compression effect you talk about is caused by the “things further away look smaller” effect. If you double the distance to an object, it will look half as big. However if you increase the distance again, it doesn’t shrink as rapidly because it is already a ways away. Let’s say you are filming two balls, of the same size. Ball A is a foot away, ball B is 2 feet away. Ball B will appear as half the size of A. However if you film from 10 feet from ball A, ball B will only appear as slightly smaller than A. When you use a zoom or narrow angle lens to make A look normally sized, it makes B look almost the same size, whereas a wider angle lens closer preserves the distance-shrinkage.

Awesome and really helpful as usual Adam! One single thing though, at 16:11, you mentioned a bit about shooting in Log, and how it creates huge file sizes. I think you meant to say shooting in RAW, shooting flat just changes the weighting of the color profile while shooting, allowing a higher range of color data to be captured *without* a higher file size. RAW files *use* a logarithmic capture profile, but footage filmed in Log does not need to be in a RAW format. Canon, sadly, does a very poor job at differentiating this. If you'd like that small file size while allowing for flexibility in post, I highly recommend looking into the DELUTS cLOG3 profile by James Miller. But regardless, thanks a lot for this. Filming myself while cooking is a huge struggle, and I learned a lot seeing how a more experienced creator actually does it.

[@JamieSandel]

Ohhh, it's a Canon thing. I was wondering why he seemed to be equating Log with 10-bit and/or RAW!

[@jackmajhand9463]

I don't understand why you say that RAW uses a logarithmic capture profile. It's just the output of the pixels which is linear on the light intensity. Then there is a gamma correction which turns the signal into a logarithmic scale.

Hi Mr. Ragusea! I just wanted to tell you that your videos are the most utilitarian cooking videos I’ve seen (and i’ve seen a lot of cooking videos since march 2020). While you aren’t the fanciest or funniest (although you’re still certainly very funny) or coolest cooking show on the internet, your videos are the most approachable, often the most innovative and well-tested, and easiest to follow. Of all the cooking shows I’ve seen, when I wanna make a recipe from youtube, you’re the channel I always turn to. Because out of all the cooking youtubers (who i very much enjoy and am in no way bashing), you make me feel like i can make the food like you can, and you constantly tell me I don’t need expensive equipment or years of skills training. (Just a little willingness to use some ingenuity like you.) I never thought about it before you said that, but the way you do your videos does make it feel less like “oh, I’m gonna make some brand new recipe” and more like “I wanna make this cool thing Mr. Ragusea showed me how to make”. My whole family loved the recipes of yours I’ve already made (the key lime pie was a fan favorite and while the sausage and peppers was more just something I liked, I’ve made it multiple times now) and I’m trying to get them to let me make another one. It’s strange how your recipes are the most approachable while also being the most inventive. So I guess what I’m trying to say is thank you. Much love

The low angles you use are eye-level for kids sneaking a peek at what’s cooking, like we’re 7 again and dad’s teaching us how to cook & giving us the little tricks no cookbook would ever deign to go on a tangent for. I think you do really well for 100% self-taught. The Photographer’s Eye by Michael Freeman is a great & friendly book breaking down composition & how our eyes track through photographs and I think it definitely applies to the kind of fixed videography you do. Probably other media out there more video-specific, but I like that one. You might like Davinci Resolve for editing, too- I think it’s a much more novice-friendly program without sacrificing quality, and has editing, effects/transitions/titles, audio, easy color-grading, REALLY good tracking & stabilization all in one. Plus it’s basically entirely free, no strings attached, for all the things you do. Not an ad, I just really like it after struggling to understand premiere & final cut for years!

Thanks for coming out of the closet to go behind the scene right before our eyes:)

I loved this video, I recognise the struggles you are talking about and indeed we have to embrace them. You got a new subcriber, loved your clear and concise explanations and your little tips. Loved your shooting style as well. Thanks for the tip for the closet, I usually don't do voice overs as it feels awkward. Thanks Adam!

as someone who is just graduated in this and is finishing up a videography internship this was really satisfying to watch, and the bit about perfectionism is all too true for me
