I’m here in 2019 learning about my Nikon D5100. Thank you! I’m using mine for my KZbin content.

[@kidda74]

Lol me too, it's been stuck in the wardrobe for years!

[@peterchapman2245]

Hello Corey, I just bought a cheap second-hand one for my son to do the same. Do you think it makes more sense than using an iphone for KZbin vids?

[@H.avery355]

Same

[@rustlingbushes7678]

This is the best tutorial that I've found for film look on the D5100, thus far! Thank you!

[@globalreachprojectgotoalln8329]

Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video. You explained stuff really well and gave a lot of good tips on how to shoot video with D5100.

[@projekteva]

The bit about flattening the video and the noise reduction helped a LOT. I really appreciate you making these.

[@Prouisorsapientiae]

+Kenneth Hart That's great! I'm glad the video was useful to you.

[@MeyLynn]

You sir have just taught me SO MUCH in a few minutes. I knew nothing before! Thank you so much for this clear explanation!

[@Prouisorsapientiae]

Mey Lynn You're welcome!

[@Multistar]

Really enjoyed your video and all of your tips. I've had mine for over 2 years now and I still learned a lot from your video.

[@skyperdd]

One of the best tutorials on youtube on how to use the nikon d5100 for videos.Thanks for your help

[@BigRedCatFTW]

The first tip was probably the one I really needed, thank you so much! Great vid.

[@Nolan12]

Exactly what I was looking for in a tutorial video. Cheers mate.

[@MyDateCoach]

Thank you very much for your honest and open advice. I recently bought a d5300 and have now purchased and am using a polarizing filter. I am getting much better results with your suggested settings and control use.

[@dannyboy1121x]

Hi. Greetings from the UK. I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to explain your setup. It's really appreciated. You've explained everything really well.

[@NicolasBlouin]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. It was a great help. I look forward to applying what I learned!

[@Prouisorsapientiae]

You're welcome! I hope the information proves useful for you.

[@strandmarker]

You're a good teacher and a good photographer. Thanks for taking the time to help.

[@brunswickbiker]

Thanks for taking the time. I have become much more proficient with my nikon d5100 as a result of your tutorials. From my roadtrek n6 last march, to my dynamax trilogy last nov. i always review to make sure i'm following your tips and suggestions for my camera's best results.

[@DeterDWHITE]

As a film student i am always trying to learn something new,, with so many videos out there that are less than par it is easy to get lost and frustrated. your two videos have helped me tremendously with my d5100 settings there are too many videos with over dubbed music which is so annoying and long intros that i personally dont give a shit about. Your video is straight to the point and i applaud you for that. THANKS!

[@JoeSchmoeLivesHere]

I'm a bit behind the times but this video has *really* helped when shooting video with my old D5000. Honestly I never even tried before I watched this and remained in the world of stills with this camera. You've single handedly changed *everything*! Thanks!!

[@Prouisorsapientiae]

That's great! I hope you have renewed inspiration for your camera. Have fun!

[@JoshIbbotson]

Just got my Nikon D5100 today as a low budget camera for my tv and film course at college, this video is just what I needed thank you!

[@RichieRah88]

Your custom picture style is AMAZING, the "flat" style, its all i use now, its Perfect for shooting the night sky too - i have just came back in from outside, and im impressed! THANK YOU! its an all around style.

[@isaactrinidad5703]

I wished I watched this video years ago. I cannot believe that I still learning how to use my camera. Great Video!!!

I'm getting one in 3 days and pumped on getting into it for a few shots in a trip to Florida, thanks for everything you've don't on your videos, i have subscribed and practically watched all of them! thanks! this is my first DSLR camera and I'm looking into how to use it and hopefully become more comfortable with it thanks

[@Prouisorsapientiae]

+Jops P No problem! Thanks for the comment.

[@HanemanHunters]

Thanks for the tips. I had no idea what shutter speed did in videos... The 35mm is an absolute must have for all D5100 users.

[@MrRyanderome]

Thank you for the lesson! Putting these tips to work now.

[@baritonebadboi]

I've had this camera for about 7 years and not known how to improve any of these settings! Very eye opening, Cheers

[@MrGuti03]

Thank you very much guy ! You took on your precious time to share a lot of your knowledge and talent and as a Nikon D5100 user like you I do appreciate.

[@cerulean999]

I watched this video and appreciate your working knowledge of the DSLR for video. You are head and shoulders above the rest of the amateur crowd. What made me want to comment, however, was watching "Unforgettable" on your channel. Your technical camera and editing skills combine with your artistic skills to make video stories that are worth watching. Thanks from a professional still photographer

[@Prouisorsapientiae]

Wow, thanks Harvey. I appreciate the very kind words. I don't see myself as head and shoulders above the rest. I don't use grey cards, green screens, or any Adobe programs, so I'm destined to remain an amateur buried in obscurity, lol. I suppose we really are our own worst critic! I just like to keep things somewhat simple, and I'm happy with that. Thanks again, and I'm glad you enjoy my videos!

[@RosieBrownie]

It's amazing how much I learned in 15 minutes by you compared to a teacher in school omg thank you 👏❤📷🎥

[@PeteMatthew]

Really helpful information, thanks. Loads of detail - I took notes!

[@andreistanciu6076]

thanks to you i just discovered some interesting features in my d5300(sharpness, contrast, hue etc). thats great.

[@Prouisorsapientiae]

Excellent! Yes, these tips will work for any camera that allows you to adjust these settings.

[@Zenavesta]

Great vid bredda. Help out alot.

[@TheNotaRubicon]

Thanks for these tips.. I've been shooting all my videos with a few iPhone 6's, a DJI Osmo and DJI Phantom, but now i'm wanting to get that more filmic look so I want to start using my D5100 more.. did some test shots today based on your tips and they look great!

[@Prouisorsapientiae]

Excellent! Nice videos. I'm always out exploring in the desert and mountains, but limited by 2 wheel drive. I don't see any videos from Death Valley. It's my favorite place and I think you would really enjoy it out there!

[@TheNotaRubicon]

We actually planned a trip up there for November but could not find a good place to stay (we travel with relatives in their motor home and have specific requirements) but we will be getting up there at some point. Will be doing a video in Johnson Valley at "The Hammers" this weekend - not Death Valley but still a lot of fun.

Hey Master Mike! This is Dan from Ohio and I just wanted to comment on your tutorial and say great as always. As I was checking my weekly drumming channel, your video pops up next to it. What a surprise! So for anyone that follows Prouisorsapientiae on you tube, I can tell you that this guy puts in his research time before he puts info out there. He is a guru in many areas, as well as an inspiring video artist. Great tutorial and great videos! Hope all is well on the west coast! Dan C.

[@Prouisorsapientiae]

I'm glad you found the video useful!

[@Prouisorsapientiae]

Thank you! All of my polarizing filters are Marumi DHG MC. You can find them on Amazon. They are slightly cheaper than B+W polarizing filters, and are considered better performing.

're a professional, thanks to the slow, but extremely accurate way to explain everything you resolved many questions so I want to thank you, greetings from Spain, continues with these videos, as this is essential for anyone who wants to venture into the world of video. (you have a new subscriber)

[@Prouisorsapientiae]

Thanks, I appreciate it! I hope to visit Spain some day.

[@xTHETRINCHOx]

keep in touch, if you come to Spain I can be your GUIDE (for free) in Madrid, which will save you time and facilitate search locations you may be interested to include in your videos, here you have a friend, for what you need when you arrive. ..

[@Prouisorsapientiae]

xTHETRINCHOx Thanks for the offer! I may just take you up on it some day.

[@MrDJtung]

***** D5100 is a great camera. The Nikon D5100 brings the high quality 16.2 megapixel sensor, great low-light performance, and full HD video. Click for pricing info : #amzn.to/1fsGSof

[@TheGreenestLantern]

***** You're awesome my man. I can now record HD videos in 1080p without it looking grainy in any scenario.

[@MrBetofreak]

Hi i´m from Colombia in south America, and i just want to say,wow man, thanks for your time and very useful tutorial, i have my own D5100 and i´m learning how to used it for videos. And and i´m improving my english too, so thanks again.

[@miguelferreira1688]

I subscribed you because of this amazing video!!

[@PaulWady]

Really appreciate your films. I will be pouring over them. I feel reassured I bought a good camera for what I wanted. Thanks from London. :)

[@Prouisorsapientiae]

Thank you, Paul! I've been to London. I'm not one for enjoying being within city walls, but London was quite an extraordinary place. It was a great trip!

[@ItsBijit]

I think, I am going to start learning the things more seriously with my d5100 after watching your videos.

[@meitsionmina]

Nice video. I'm looking into buying a D5100 and this made me more convinced to getting one :) really good and clear advice! subscribed! greets from Finland.

[@Prouisorsapientiae]

Thanks! You will not be disappointed. I hope to visit Finland someday, or any of the other Nordic countries.

[@meitsionmina]

You should ;)

[@lueyang8825]

Awesome tutorial! Thanks Dude!

[@Prouisorsapientiae]

Lue Yang You're welcome!

[@Prouisorsapientiae]

The kit lens works exceptionally well. The key is post-production editing; specifically color grading/correcting. I would also suggest purchasing the 35mm f1.8 over the 50mm for a crop sensor DSLR such as the D5100. Good luck!

[@syionoso8376]

Great tutorial !!

Thanks for sharing man, appreciate it. Showed me stuff I didn't know I could do with my D5100! Customs profiles is usefull

[@Prouisorsapientiae]

Awesonymous RC No problem!

[@Prouisorsapientiae]

You're very welcome! If you run into problems with noise in the shadows of your shots, try using the "Standard" picture style preset that is already in the camera, or use the custom style shown in this video with the contrast bumped up a notch or two. Good luck!

[@craftwerkman]

Thanks for the quick response bro! Yes I too believe that the D5100 has less aliasing problems than the T3i. And as you showed in your video the censor inside the D5100 has a great dynamic range, just look at what you can pull out of those shadows! Truly amazing! I'm busy making a video for a friend of my who runs a barbershop and so far I'm really happy with the video quality that the D5100 delivers using these F1.8 Nikon lenses.

[@SpiffyFurFamily]

Thank you so much for all your tips. I bought a Nikon D5100 last week and there are still things that I don't know and I just took the camera outside one day thinking that I will be able to just go out and record my bernese and post it on youtube but the quality of that video is not good at all and looks like it was recorded with my phone. I still have many things to learn and I can't wait to try your settings and go out to record again. Thank you once again. Regards from Romania.

[@rikimonster]

Gracias! Nice tutorial!!!

[@Prouisorsapientiae]

The Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 is my favorite lens. I even used it to make this tutorial. It would be perfect for a concert because it performs well in low light, and will capture most of the action. You could probably even get the entire stage in the shot in the front row!

[@DominadorReyes]

I also have a Nikon 5100 and use Sony Vegas studio...let me tell you I've had a lot of frustrations trying to get the best out of the camera and I'm glad I ran into your short film and I feel more confident. Your film was great...hope to follow your example!
