MACRO FILMMAKING | How I film Product Shots!

[@ryanjacobson505]

The content of this video is exactly what I’ve been searching for to learn more about macro videography! Thank you for sharing your experience and perspective. You’ve given me a lot of good information to think about. Great work!

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks a lot! 🤙 Happy to hear it's been helpful :)

[@1solorainforest]

WOW !!! love the laowa shot.... i do macro in the wild and my mind is running wild with what i can do with that.... great video!

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks so much!

Moral of the Story " Macro Videography is Expensive " 😂😂

[@nailivore]

Great video! I'm starting to understand a little bit more about macro, thanks to you. I do struggle with what settings I should use on my camera, though. I have a ZV-E10 and just bought the 30mm F3.5 lens, but I can't really understand what I need to change to make it look better. Do you have a video explaining macro settings for recording, or any tips?

[@WorkingViews]

i need need need all of it. very cool. thank you for the tips!

[@Joey_Helms]

Any time! :)

[@iamandreja]

00:01 I don't like coffee either but I LOVE the smell. And coffee candies as well :D

[@Joey_Helms]

🤙

[@adamfarkas7069]

Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately, the Slypod comes with the MOZA app which is catastrophically bad.

[@stephansmokov4952]

Hey Joey, how you keep the focus on the subject while using the slider? I'm trying to use auto-focus but I'm getting awful results as it keeps trying to find the focus and don't lock it at the subject.

[@idahofallsmagazine3691]

Nice slypod review. Let us know when you do a video on how to film product shots.

[@modernmusicstudio303]

This is a really awesome video!

[@punctdaniel]

So you have the probe lens, an a7 III, a manual slider, an aperture 120D, and the mini light from the aperture. What else would you get to have a solid starting gear for product/macro videography? :)

[@Joey_Helms]

That's a great starting point. Possibly a lazy Susan would be helpful to add more motion to it and you can get them for fairly sheep.

[@punctdaniel]

@@Joey_Helms thanks so much! Do you find it bad to do free demos for brands and send them what you can do with their products in order to get leads? I am just starting out as an aspiring videographer, hope you don't mind the question..

[@Joey_Helms]

You gotta start somewhere right? If anything it's a great training ground to polish your skills and show your vision :)

[@mrbuttion]

Is there anything that would help macro and phone recording?

[@nogluelashlift]

awesome video! could you please recommend a lens and set up for macro videos of the human eye? My wife is in the beauty businesses and needs to make some training videos. Thank you Sir!

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks! What camera are you shooting with?

[@nogluelashlift]

@@Joey_Helms canon ti3! Thanks!

[@hazandthej]

Great tutorial, a lot of it really applies to renders too

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks a lot Harry;

[@justdoit3379]

awesome!

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks so much

[@jayros_parker]

Awesome thanks bro

[@Ghassan.albalushi]

Very informative video exactly what I needed. I just received my Laowa 24mm lens and was on a hunt for a motorized slider to pair it with the lens. The Moza Slypod was on the list but unfortunately a lot of complained about the micro jitters you get from it. Any other options you recommend me to go for?

[@Joey_Helms]

thanks! I have been using the Edelkrone SliderOne for most shots with the Laowa which works out just fine without those kind of macro shots

[@Ghassan.albalushi]

Joey Helms looking into the Edelkrone as well seems like a solid option. The Slypod E was recently released as well apparently it performs better than the older Slypod.

[@Joey_Helms]

Have the Slypod E in my mailbox, hope to try it next week. Check in then ;)

[@socot97]

I am interested to hear thoughts on this as well. I ended up returning both the Edelkrone SliderOne and the Rhino Arc II because of micro jitters as well as odd movements while trying to do parallax moves.

[@Geekygordon]

Thank you for the good video, I am going to try bugs when I get home in October.

[@ulissesbruno3859]

what equipment? is it possible with an iphone 11 pro max to shoot small things like 5 to 8 mm ????

[@jd5787]

Hi! Any idea on a substitute for the Laowa probe? Any macro lens could work for macro shots? (focal length?) thank you

[@sluxbalboa]

Laowa lens is too expensive. Isn't there a cheaper solution? I would like to film a drop sliding on the glass in slow motion.

[@Joey_Helms]

Just try a fast macro lens. The Laowa Probelens is way too slow for a slow Mo shot anyways unless you have super strong lights.

[@EDWARDTHEEAUTHOR]

Grab that laowa 100mm 2.8 macro 2:1 sharper than the canon version

[@ricasalsa]

Great video mate ! Where did you get the green focus gears for the lens ?

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks!!! I 3D printed myself. Found the CAT file online.

[@pgtips4240]

Could you not just use a post process stabiliser in your software to remove shakes from your slider? The shaking did not look very bad at all from what I could see, this would be a piece of cake to perfectly stabilise in post.

[@Joey_Helms]

Yes in many cases it works. However if you have rolling shutter movement it all can look wabbly real fast.

[@jungbrunnproductions]

4:19 what kind of gear extension ring do you use for optimization of your focus pulling game with the probe lens?

[@Joey_Helms]

We 3d printed it ourself . CATs are somewhere online

[@anything7087]

What about tik tok user” object” insane macro videos what cam and lens it use?

[@WatchCataVlog]

Great information, been watching your videos for awhile, and I m starting a watch channel too, now the biggest challenge for me is the turntable, under Macro the turntable is not 100% smooth.....

[@Joey_Helms]

yeah getting smooth shots in the macro world is incredibly tricky, luck and stabilisation in post also play a role ;)

[@WatchCataVlog]

@@Joey_Helms yeah, feel free to visit my channels and see how you think.

[@Jambo1999]

I look for tips on macro video, but getting tired of posts about the Laowa. Its a very impractical lens for any work outside the studio.

[@tabeabussmann]

No…just get creative

[@marekwinski8854]

Great informative video! Keep it going! Do not get those dislikes. Stupid people.

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks a mill! And I definitely do not get discouraged by a few dislikes. It's an interesting indicator though.

[@macroworld8khdr671]

nice one :P

[@tshegofatsoditshego3952]

Would you kindly share the inside bottle shot with me 😊??

[@SerotoninDrive]

No

[@iamandreja]

That's a silly demand :D
