How To Get The Philip Bloom Look

[@philipbloom]

Most of my music from the past year has come from audio network. My Cinematic masterclass music was all from music bed. I don’t have an FS7 2, just the mk1 but it isn’t my main camera these days. I have used the FS5 with shogun inferno more last year and recently it’s the Canon C200, Kinefinity Terra 4K and yes A7R3 Thanks for making this.

[@mdturnerinoz]

Love your work!

[@Silv3rSurf3r]

rekt xD

[@dutchgroundmedia]

Seems like harv didn’t do his homewerk very well :P ... keep up the good work Philip and Harv 👊🏼

[@markshirley01]

Philip Bloom C100 MK2 saving my pennies. 👌

[@evilpigskin]

wow. excellent comment. thank you both!

[@philipbloom]

Bah! He's rubbish.

[@philipbloom]

Thanks James. Flattered but embarrassed!

[@chadwin]

BEST COMMENT!!

[@HarvVideoAudioStuff]

Ha ha, glad you liked it!

[@nashrace]

Great comment Philip.

[@SBBLURAY1]

LOL. I just saw "He's rubbish" and I was getting ready to trash this guy for saying so, then realized it is YOU. Love you, Phillip.

[@markshirley01]

He is the calm voice in a sea of waving hands on KZbin. Totally agree his music is the glue that binds his compelling video.

[@danmccarthy2906]

So glad I found this video this morning. New to film making and recently discovered Philip Bloom and was captivated by his videos, the style, color, composition, slow motion etc. Spent yesterday taking notes asking myself, how does he do that? - makes it look simple yet to make it emotionally and stylistically appealing obviously takes great skill. Thanks for sharing.

[@DawidMilczarek]

Harv, you are really helpful for everyone trying to improve filmmaking skills. Thanks a lot.

[@garyking4032]

I love Philip Blooms style, and imho there's a few things that need to be added here... 1. He's been shooting with the Kinefinity Terra 4k for the last couple of months. 2. He's a big fan of the Fuji cine zooms. 3. One thing that it's important to notice is that so many of his shots have no camera movement - you could call it 'quiet camera' - it seems to draw you into a tranquil place and ties the image in with the generally atmospheric music choice. 4. His subject matter is generally candid, and is often people or animals which gives the viewer a hint of someone elses day and their emotions. 5. Black levels always high, contrast and saturation always low (unless a secondary colour is being used to pop something like a London bus). It's a unique style, and I always look forward to his stuff, both from a technical and film-making perspective.

[@HarvVideoAudioStuff]

Enjoy guys :) I hope you like my take on Philips style. Just a couple of corrections - Philip is still using the fs7 mk1 and has also been using the fs5 and Kinefinity Terra 4K recently

You can find the Music Philip is using here www.musicbed.com/songs

[@EmileModesitt]

One more very important part of getting "Bloomy" footage -- a tripod! Obviously he uses a gimbal and does some handheld as well but so much of his work is on a rock-solid tripod.

[@seencreative8114]

I was gonna say this!

[@360MIX]

Harv!.. I would love for you to release your music and make it available to us.. this is your soul and expressing yourself via music is super!!.. can't wait.... thanks for the videos too!!!...a big fan of yours from Florida(USA)

[@bigdudeps]

Why do I drop everything and watch your videos as soon as you post? Because they are that good. Thanks for being great Harv! Another gem of a video chock full of great information.

[@HarvVideoAudioStuff]

That really means a lot to me, you have no idea! Many thanks :)

[@GadgetJohn]

I saw an IG post from Philip that showed a chart where 10% was film/production/editing and 90% was sourcing the right music for the final cut. I guess that's why the audio & video seem well matched. To see more about lens whacking go to Philips channel and watch his brilliant video on it. Great topic Harv 👍

[@SBBLURAY1]

Great one. I have noticed that he has a lot of haters, but I love Phillip Bloom.

[@geoffkeeton4311]

This is really made me think about how I'm going to do an upcoming video.

[@JazzMac36251]

Harv, that song was gorgeous. Well done!

[@themikereda]

Really great work here, Harv. Some of your shots had me fooled, I thought you were using clips shot by Philip himself. The only real difference I noticed was that his footage usually seems locked-off and doesn't have a ton of motion. But honestly, this was great and very thorough. Great job!

[@nunoviotti]

Great music Harv, been a fan of Bloom for quite sometime now, and you nailed it :)

[@nashrace]

Great insight, good video and although Philips “style” doesn’t fit the kind of video I make, both his and your technical mastery are very inspiring. Thanks for posting this.

[@BFPservices]

Thanks Harv - Insightful material as always. The PB style is a favorite of mine also. Other things I've noted with PB is the generally locked down shot. An interesting contrast to the gimbal shots of the younger filmmakers. I like both. Also favor his choice of coloring - seems to favor rich blacks along with what I'd catorigize as "taupe" colored tones (and of course the reds). The orchestral music beds - classic PB. Good luck with your music launch!

[@mdturnerinoz]

I really enjoy your channel and PB's as well. Harv! I am beside myself awaiting your music! I not only really enjoy your videos but will relish getting to hear your music! Waiting patiently, but excitedly ... :))))

[@ScoobieDee]

Great vid , really well explained

[@MarcosRochaTV]

Harv man, this video was super enjoyable to watch!

[@jordansarkisian]

Interesting, never heard about lens whacking until now, gonna have to try that soon:)

[@BoyBlessing]

Does anyone know where to find Philip Bloom's custom PP5 profile? Been looking for it everywhere

[@MattiaMerli]

Very nice! IMHO you forgot to mention that Bloom loves symmetry in composing the shot

[@tessabarrow]

Really good. Enjoyable. Look forward to your music release

[@MartinNemeth]

Hey Harv. Great videos. What is the font you are using for your tumbnails please?

[@SabineMeyGordeyns]

Great video. Where can I check out your music as announced?

[@avarmadillo]

Love your videos, Harv---both content and presentation. Want to check out your music--but one question: what did you use to make the music?

[@stuCameraman1]

The Bloom look??? Don't you mean the 'Corporate Film/TV Look' aka everything has evened in color, brightness, contrast. That's why his documentaries look so good! And that's why he hasn't don many scifi or thriller movies....

[@bouncebounce41]

Great video mate. Really interesting.

[@Nightscouts]

do you know the best workflow with filmconvert und delut s? What should be done frist , using filmconvert tot get teh rec 709 look and ten twising Luts? Deluts has also s log Luts , does it make sense to tweack them wit filmconvert?

[@Elliottenpyjama]

Could you share with us the music during the Golden hour montage please ? ;)

[@HarvVideoAudioStuff]

It’ll be in my music packs ;) watch this space

[@TelliFilmmaker]

Hi! Your shoot with the a7s2 at 120fps 1080p? Or in 120fps the camera give you a 720p?

[@HarvVideoAudioStuff]

100 and 120fps are both at 1080p, I just wish there wasn’t such a huge crop! :)

[@skene19]

Nice work Harv! Love your content. Very inspirational too. Cheers!

[@vidfolio]

You forgot the fujinon mk lenses! He uses them a lot

[@HarvVideoAudioStuff]

Indeed, I put them in the kit.com link but I wasn’t sure if he was using them day to day as I know he made the videos on those lenses for Fuji

[@chrisw443]

You gotta be in England too.

[@NoGrip]

One of those locations looks very much like Falmouth

[@HarvVideoAudioStuff]

Close--ish, it’s Totnes High Street in Devon (if it’s the shot facing downhill with the clock you’re thinking of)

[@NoGrip]

Harv Video/Audio Stuff ah yes maybe that's it. That's reeeeeally close to me

[@TheDominicballard96]

I did a video just like this! You should check it out and tell me what you think!

[@Nightscouts]

Beware of lens Wacking , your sensor can be polluted easaly

[@sa.t.2507]

Ok now lets talk about how to beat up your girlfriends and get dropped from almost all your sponsorships like Philip Bloom was!

[@Photographicelements]

Step1: Color grade everything too red.

[@theninesquares25]

Bloomish-look.

[@Jeli_Lo-Fi_Lounge]

Misic bed

[@syekbe]

I loath that 2.35:1 overly used aspect ratio by most KZbin videomakers. Unless im watching your masterpiece on the biggest Imax screen i don’t care for it, it’s a waste of screen real estate. It’s just pretentious! Other than that, great work! 👌😊

[@-AtomsPhere-]

Sy Eckbe it’s so funny, I love it! Haha

[@jasam123]

wtf that into is so noisy and irritating!
