KOLD - The Creative Process

Join my school and online community: bit.ly/kolderc...
They say amateurs find themselves waiting for inspiration to strike, while the pros get up and go to work. Whether it’s in the pre planning stages or post production, I would have to say that music is the single most powerful creative contributor to my work. It always influences the direction my projects take.
With a huge collection of music, Musicbed is a place for my mind to run free and get inspired without having to worry about the dreadful music licensing process that typically takes a ton of time and money.

The Kold KZbin channel is such a great example of quality over quantity - the platform needs more of this, and the algorithm need to switch up to reward these type of creators

[@CalebRoyal]

Kombi Life couldn’t agree more One person cannot physically put this type of quality out every single day. It takes time

Less quantity = less watchtime, less watchtime = less ads = less money for KZbin. So sadly it won’t happen

There are types for cinematographer : 1. Just learn cinematography 2. Knew cinematography 3. Proffesional cinematography 4. Sam Kolder

[@AchuIriz]

Best one 👏👏👏

[@niranjan4231]

5. Peter Mckinnon

[@dukebozikowski3801]

@@niranjan4231 Mckinnon just relies on the slow motion and color of his 1DX II to get good shots. Even his more professional work is mostly just taking 1DX 120p and adding contrast to it and playing with shadows, temp., blacks, and highlights. Not trying to bash Peter as is still a great teacher but SAM is on a whole different level with his color grading, after effects work, and video subjects. His masking and transitions are pristine and his color grading is class leading in my opinion!
