[@skkstudios2433]

I've seen most content on youtube about camera angles, composition etc. But your content are far beyond anything I've watched. You are working on such a high level in this industry. Big props mate!

[@jacques_crafford]

Thanks mate, that's a HUGE compliment to me!

[@avdhootnarvekar49]

Yes it's true....... outstanding video.... wonderful explain

[@C_itsNemo]

Do you have more tutorials ?

[@sayemuntasin9820]

Can't thank enough. Mad props for teaching unique and wholesome cinematography for free. No other channel does this.

[@jacques_crafford]

Really glad you see the value. Thanks for the words! 🙏🏼

[@Ahda108]

watching your 6 mins video explaining the reasons of why you do what you do was the best 6 mins i spent today. Thank you n keep up the great work!

[@jacques_crafford]

WOW, that's such an awesome compliment. Thank you for telling me and for being a subscriber, it really means so much!

[@kalpeshrawal5636]

Without“why” and “when”, any gimbal/camera movements are superfluous. Thank you for sharing it with examples.

[@jacques_crafford]

Thanks for supporting my channel bro!

[@lemmystop]

WOW! This is easily one or the top 3 gimbal videos on KZbin!

[@jacques_crafford]

Woaaaah that's a massive compliment, thank you Chris!

[@chyopochyom]

Have been filming for almost 2 years and using gimbal, I never learnt about what movement to use when, and I'm not so satisfied with my gimbal using experience. This video appeared and now after watching I can say I'm sure it will help me a lot. Thanks

Thanks for all the knowledge. Your channel is the first one in years that makes me feel I'm actually learning new stuff again. Especially your lighting and bts tutorials are super valuable!

You're welcome Jonas, that's why I do it! Reading comments like this encourage me that I'm actually making a difference, will do my best to keep them coming as often as possible!

[@TrenchfootSalvador]

Thank you for these gimbal tips. I must say though, all your clips look amazing! Off subject, the lenses used in this video are the 24-70mm gm, zeiss 35mm, what else do you use?

[@jacques_crafford]

Thanks bro, super grateful for your support! The only other lenses used in these clips were the 70-200 on the Ostrich Tracking shot and the Horse Tracking Shot :)

Great tutorial!! What are yout tips to keep subject in focus while for example approachong the model or going away from him..? Thanks

[@jacques_crafford]

Thanks David! I use a combination of Autofocus and Manual Focus. In many cases, Autofocus on the Sony A7sIII works great but some scenarios are too complex so then I switch to manual and try to keep to the same distance.

This is the best content that filmmakers doesn't teach on youtube, ( why chosing an angle and when ) for ex when you said that crane shot should be at the end of a movie or whatever.. I remembered the last part from NF music video of the song lost, they used a crane shot at the very end to reveal the environment! so nothing comes by luck.. every shot is well studied

@@jacques_crafford thank you!!! Do you shoot with a primary lens? How long have you been shooting with Sony? Did you start with something prior to Sony? I hate hate shooting live since I photograph with the view finder. Maybe I will have better luck with a Sony rather than my Nikon?!
