Found this right on time. Took me a long time to decide what I want to do in life since I have so many talents. But photography and videography seems to be the one that’s calling me the strongest. No more indecisiveness time to learn and apply.

[@CrackaLackTV]

Go n get it. Sky is the limit.

WOW! I've never seen a video on youtube that's more helpful than this on shooting music videos. This is the first time i will watch a youtube video that's over 12 minutes. Everything i needed to know about shooting a music that's been bugging me since 2016 has come to an end after watching this video. Thank you very much Mr. Cracka Lack for this. #grateful

I firmly believe the importance of being self sufficient and pouring into yourself. I have so many songs that I wanted to make videos for but had no blueprint on how to start. As an artist I truly appreciate you dropping these gems for hungry minds! Subscribed

Thank you so much! This video covered all the basic questions I had about shooting a music video. I actually sat down and watched a whole video without skipping. I'm doing photography at the moment and I'm looking to venture off into videography. I'm doing my first music video soon so I'm about to sit and watch your videos all day. Keep posting these videos! Thanks!

[@CrackaLackTV]

Good to hear. I'm big on preaching do more than 1 thing. Be a photographer and a videographer and maybe even more. Make the most money you can. Providing different services. I'll keep the content coming. Just posted a how to shoot cinematic music videos tutorial.

The Canon T3i is my first camera well the T2i was really But I got it for like 100 bucks and the t3i was 150 I like that camera more because they had to flip out screen and the other cam I would use as might B cam So It came in handy I have a question about exposure if you’re shooting a video and on camera it looks too bright and you want to get that cinematic look is it OK to shoot like one stop under exposed to make it look a little darker? Or does it have to be in that middle line on the meter do you ever use the meter I still have my T3i I also have canon 60D and now I have a lumix G7 to shoot 4K My Fiancé bought me a DJI spark for my birthday a couple years ago it shoots in 1080 P but I still like it I don’t shoot that much 4K video then when I do I go for the Lumix but mostly I use my canon Cameras

[@CrackaLackTV]

I shoot 2 stops over exposed and then dark my lows in post.

[@CrackaLackTV]

Yeah man canon t3i was my shit for a long time. About 200 music videos.

[@BadKarma714]

CrackaLackTV that’s awsome is the music videos on this channel? Also when shooting outside in the sun you still shoot 2 stops up? Also do you ND filters?

[@thisislifesong313]

OUTSTANDING-THANK YOU! I’m a considerably “later in life” musician in the singer songwriter/contemporary Christian category, so I suspect I’m about as different from the artists you regularly work with as is possible. Nevertheless, I’ve gotta say your tutorials are just fantastic! You not only present the information in plain, easily understandable terms (which makes your tutorials so “accessible”), but the cinematic techniques you teach are so universally applicable across genres. Just finished my first ever music video using a number of shot techniques right out of 3 of your “how to” TouTubes, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Love the positivity and encouragement too. Thanks for doing these, and I’ll definitely be on the lookout for more :-)
