the thing I love about your approach - you paint with broad strokes and you know that even being somewhat lazy about an execution doesn't matter because the viewer doesn't A/B tests shots when they watch something lol. You get what you watch, and even with the overexposed tunnel shot, the viewer wouldn't likely know otherwise because theres no comparison and it's just a great shot. you know the techniques that will carry you much further in stylized execution so that the rest is just storytelling.
@nickl2244 ай бұрын
Moments like this are a good reminder why you shouldn't really care if that new camera has a 0.2 stop wider dynamic range... You're still gonna make a mistake and everything will be overexposed but with some magic and editing the shot will end up nice anyway

Little details like switching from the smoke to natural dust in that hallway/door shot are brilliant examples of quick problem solving that goes a long way. An extremely valuable skill to have in this industry. Always appreciate and inspired by your content.
@davidbroughton52378 ай бұрын
Yes, was going to comment the same thing. It's easy to forget to include problem solving in what we imagine "creativity" means in filmmaking

I'm happy every time I discover filmmakers like Lewis who don't produce the usual cheap fake content just to get attention by any means, but still see filmmaking as an art and every little thing and every detail counts. Thank you for that and keep up the good work.

Creating layers with environments is good but I was wondering what your process is for actually finding shots like that? Do you kinda roughly pick a spot that will work and then try lots of potential shots?

Excellent stuff. With the FX30 not having open gate, did you just crop the final image to 2.39:1? Do you feel like you lost any of the lens' character by cropping out the sides? The shots look siiiiiick and super anamorphic-y but curious as to your thoughts

@WhySteve7 ай бұрын
I remember that last shot, loving the vibe of it! How do you approach focus in your shots? I shoot everything solo, and when I'm using f/1.4 lenses, even using a focus assists or focus buddy 9000 (that's a doll I made to put where I am going to shoot for focus) I tend to move slightly out of the realm of focus and ruin the shot sometimes. And you don't want to set everything up again and do it all over, because, you know, yolo.

@scottwilson22728 ай бұрын
Hey Lewis. I absolutely love your channel and your insights. I am curious though - a lot of young filmmakers like myself don't quite have the budget for industry grade Komodo-like cameras, yet we CAN play around with light and composition - would you be willing to portray lighting techniques with a camera that wasn't quite as high quality just to show how much lighting and composition can create a mood rather than particular lenses / cameras? I would love to see you use your skill as a cinematographer in this regard. Obviously, you do you, would not want to pull you away from your Titanic books, was just curious. Cheers.

I was just wondering how you set up the camera in your car. For example at 5:42 did you put a tripod on the back seat, did you have a back seat, did you strap it down, etc.

This may sound like a really simple question, but what are you setting the white balance to when you’re using gels. I am curious if most people mess with balance when color grading or setting it more when you capture it in camera.

When it comes to using smoke/haze in a scene are there any kind of golden rules or guidelines that you follow or is it just a case of eyeballing it?
@tomcattermole18448 ай бұрын
im no cinematographer but my take is using the most amount of smoke possible without it seeming unrealistic. Hence, studio shoots go crazy on smoke because they're unrealistic by nature but a standard setting (like inside a house) should just be enough to seem like particles/dust but not smokey/hazy.

On your slider shots, how do you pull focus while filming yourself?
@lewispotts8 ай бұрын
Either with an auto focus lens, or in this case with this anamorphic I set the lens at about 2.8 1/2 then set the focus on the myself halfway through the slider move so the depth of field was big enough to keep me sharp enough the whole time

@@lewispotts AWESOME!!!! This has been perplexing me for quite some time. Now I can break out my slider and give this a shot!!!!!!
