[@MABO]

Thank you for your amazing feedback! A full BTS Video Portrait Shoot and How I find and use the music for my videos are coming this month too! Let me know what else you want to know :)

[@mpeg2000]

Looking forward to the info regarding music. Most libraries are a nightmare of never ending bad taste.

[@iankaart]

excited to learn about music!!

[@MABO]

Thank you Eddie, really appreciate it :)

[@cammychose6788]

[@mohammadalanazi4977]

So inspirational! I love that you’re using handheld shots and they look amazing

[@lilacism312]

[@phoenixmichelephotography]

Thank you for sharing the details, definitely gave me some inspiration with telling a story.

[@aboodabulaban2867]

im in love with your work man its insane!! would love to dive deep in your coloring process, you are such an inspiration

[@Mav540i]

Great commercial. The idea and follow through are on point.

[@zerkorj]

This looks amazing

[@RyanVlachos]

I like how this video was just straight to the point! awesome job MABO!

[@rfish2]

Supercool commercial! Awesome to hear that the youtube channel gave you some commercial work!

[@shengyuanhsuphotography7255]

LOVE and really impressive!!

Solid work! How detailed did you storyboard this before shooting, and how close did the end result match the storyboard? Or did you improvise a lot along the way? Cheers, Eivind

[@bob_sala]

Super nice! Congrats

[@firstmile]

Great video. More please. Thank you

[@giuliahepburn]

The final result is great! I like the concept of the story ad the timing a lot. Well done!

[@BronsonWilson]

Thanks Mabo, really appreciate this breakdown on how you made it happen. All the best mate

[@conradlattimer7230]

Wow...amazing video and bts, thank you for sharing your workflow, very inspiring and informative :-)

[@philippscheithauer]

I love the creativity behind everything :) regarding the concept: I can’t really grasp what the brand is about? A community of creators that sells rings?

[@MABO]

You kinda nailed it, yes :D

[@TheYoukill]

I couldn't believe you came to Istanbul, I wish we met

[@pauls1ngh]

[@imageiseverything6443]

[@JohnThePA]

Amazing job!

[@lukaskuth7195]

nice diggi!

[@SHADESTREETS]

Supercool mate!

[@DaSmellyDog]

Really nice work! How much did you rely on the AF? Do you find filters affecting the speed of the AF at all?

[@KarolinaK]

Brilliant work! Thanks for sharing all the details :)

[@hackerockmedia]

A really cool video showing the whole process, very inspiring!! I miss a bit more of BTS like 2:53, but I guess it's hard to keep an eye out for material for a possible youtube video when the really important thing is to do and stay focused on paid work.

[@nachovidalle]

Echt stark !

[@NafisAhmed73]

great one. that pro mist filter did a really good job with the highlights..want to see more of these behind the scene thought process for a video in future .. I have one question, I see you using final cut pro for editing a7siii footage all the time. can it take a7siii 4k 120p 10bit 422 at full res or do you make proxies to edit?? do you use the new 13" m1 ??

[@MABO]

Thanks man! There will be more BTS coming soon :) I have an older 2018 Mac Book and have to create Proxys in FCP everytime but will defenately upgrade when the new M1X Mac Books are coming out. Cheers!

[@vindelphotofilm8041]

i love it

[@truetonefilms]

krass alles mit einem Objektiv, GEIL

[@bandstand9173]

Hello, i am going to buy your luts. Do you have tips to expose and set up slog

[@ifaxec]

Awesome stuff bro.. learning a lot from you

[@shanendotmov]

Hey Mabo! Would like to ask what kind of film overlay did you used at the very beginning of the video? Thanks so much!

[@nicogtovar90]

Where can i find the commercial clip? i love it

[@fourteenwinds]

Well done mate!! 🙏

[@IJOSoundVideo]

Yeah, i regret selling mine 35 f1.8.. Great video !

[@fhyhdcg]

How did you get that last shot of everyone frozen? Did you shoot at 120fps then just slow it down? It looks like a photograph.

[@MABO]

I actually made them freeze. Worked pretty well with 60Fps. Thank god no one blinked :D

[@rfish2]

Okay, just out of curiosity. Why did you switch from the 24-70 GM to the 35 1.8?

[@JordanLedbetter]

Wondering same thing

[@shutterinn1927]

讲真,有这种模特和镜头感,怎么拍都行

[@jofasho2kool]

amazing!

[@lettheloverbe]

Did you have to adjust your clips much to match the voice over, or did you keep that in mind along with the music preshooting?

[@MABO]

I had the voiceover in the script so we adapted to that already while shooting :)

[@BackpackingVideos]

Looks great! What picture profile did you shoot in? By the way, the links to amazon are not working.

[@iamcolinclark]

the polar pro vnd is stackable with the pro mist? thats dope

[@3abdangry]

sick video well done, was this on G master one?

[@MABO]

Nope on the F1.8, G Master is F1.4 :)

[@lukedebeer1354]

Awesome, thx for sharing ! Do you also use the 35 over the 24-70 because ist is too heavy for the gimbal ?

[@eddjhoe]

fantastic work.i really love it 😍 How did you get the voiceover? Did you make it yourself or did you hire someone? Also, did you film it and did the voiceover after did you have the script and before filming

[@rosyaugust7095]

This is so dope 🔥.

[@DanyloYermolenko]

sooooooooooooooooo cooollllllll

[@enbokpahsyntiew2187]

Amazing

[@kodakkevin]

THANK YOU thank you for showing the full promo and the edit timeline playing together. I'm such a visual learner and being able to see the cuts, the music cues and sound fx helps me learn. Great breakdown, thorough but succinct and to the point. Wow!

[@ajith7915]

What picture profile do you use?

[@clausstahl5166]

Cool...thank you

[@sanjaysingha8911]

Did you change the output frame rate to 20 ? for the vintage feel?

[@schoeferfilm]

Hast Du richtig gut gemacht Max 👏 war bestimmt richtig cool in Istanbul 👍🏻 ABO hast Du 💪🏼 Filme machen ist auch meine Leidenschaft 😀 allerdings bin ich schon ein etwas älterer Filmer, der mit der FX6 noch mal richtig Gas geben will 😜 beste filmerische Grüße aus Oberfranken und mach weiter so 🎞 #filmemachenistunsereleidenschaft

[@sebastianro_photo]

Nice video! damm. check the Affiliate links, they dont link to the products!

[@osmanlatif9369]

Hello from istanbul :)

[@manny1568]

🔥🔥

[@jas_bataille]

Shooting with one lens is simple really : you bring only one and then you can't change it. Voilà.

[@mj.cutsense]

Overall it looks good but I see two things that make it kinda amateur. First is the white balance that varies between shots. That also applies to your youtube video where two cameras did not match at all. The second is the shutter speed, it looks like you've shot everything in 120p and use it at normal speed and it caused that digital look which is not consistent with that retro vibe. Don't get me wrong I really like your work but it could be better. Still, thumb up for future videos!

[@MABO]

Hey man, thanks for your feedback that helps :) Since we shot at different times of the day, light was different. I tried to match these shots but the late evening shots are just blue because of blue hour. How would you handle white balancing when having shots following up from different time of day? Most shots are filmed in 60p and I did not use 24p to have more flexibility while editing yes. I feel the cinematic vibe of 24p but if I need a shot in Slow Motion afterwards I'll have a problem :D

[@mj.cutsense]

@@MABO Yes, I know it could be tricky. I've done it wrong many times before. The key is balancing the skin tones. With that late shots, they are just white, and the rest is blue, which is a good determinant. With a planned shot, it's good to have a second shot at normal speed with that 180-degree shutter speed. This will give you a great and cinematic feel of motion. Anyway, the colors are really pleasing, the music is great and the framing is also very interesting so keep it up! I'm leaving my feedback to let you be even better!

[@MABO]

Okay, true man. I will try that the next time for sure, really appreciated 👌😊

[@PowerRangersxoxo]

Please move to premiere. You are limiting your self! Good video.

[@MABO]

I used Premiere in the Past and am more than happy that I switched :D Fcp is faster and more reliable. There is nothing that I am missing in Final Cut. And thanks! :)

[@alphabadio6592]

Great work !

[@tomaszbejnarowicz]

Meeeeen! How did you make those transitions? Sick!!

[@Jona]

ich liebe diesen moment, wenn man checkt, dass der creator aus DE ist 😍 moin

[@Santafefashionweek]

Great commercial, thanks for sharing

[@Genuinely_edwin]

Loved the video. But I think the voiceover really took away from the content. I think the voice was very distracting from the great visual story. Overall it was awesome definitely learned some stuff. Great job.

[@jayvidaimes104]

MY GUY! I FUXWICHU! SALUTE! KEEP IT UP! EXCLAMATION!

[@POVPHOTOGUY]

love the breakdown and the 'desaturated' filmic look! Nice job!

[@wiama]

[@martinkurucz7273]

[@vladants1429]

[@ixmxex]

[@Portix]

[@art4funvfx]

Niceee

[@dominicotterspeer5732]

Love the vibe!

[@isolatedanthony]

You are my inspiration man such a staple motivator to keep me creating! Thank you so much for shedding light with many informative videos! You think you can make a video on rendering and the types of compressing you do for Instagram and KZbin? I'm sure it'll be a very popular and helpful video for others as well. Thanks again for being an inspiration to us all

[@SastraWerk]

Hi MaBo, two question please. Did you use active stabilization on your hand shots? And also stabilized it with catalyst in post? Danke.

[@michaelwood5884]

Super dope

[@agustobillvicka2469]

nice

[@lionbeatscobra]

Did someone pull focus for you at f1.8?

[@MABO]

Most of the shots are taken with autofocus since the A7SIII is really reliable. Some shots manually.

[@Alijaber7]

Thank you for the time & work you put in. How can I get the look of the video. Big fan of your tutorials.

[@ChrisRuggiero]

Awesome video, thanks for sharing all this behind the scenes insight!

[@yugenfocus]

Wow, really appreciate the production layout and planning. I even more appreciate the post-production walk-through and explanation. Super super helpful. Thank you!!

[@ManitMonsur]

Impressive work as always bro!

[@mrzw]

Hey Mabo, great commercial and BTS! One question: what about the voiceover? Where did that come from?

[@13Dominoo]

You need to update your amazon link. Cant even find what kind of equipment u are using

[@carltonhart6429]

Amazing job MABO

[@MABO]

Thank you Carlton :)

[@Mavetah]
