[@dziadzielony692]

Hi, what working space to use when applying this LUT?

[@nicklong7442]

You have some of the best videos on KZbin, because you don’t just make videos, you’re an actual Cinematographer. And most Cinematographers don’t put a lot of time and care into their videos. Thanks for this! Very helpful.

[@AustinNewman]

As someone who has used Zebras for years, this just makes much more sense. Fantastic video 🤙🏻

[@navigatelifechanges]

Thanks Mateo! I found you looking for a good lesson on false colors and I got a short master class in camera from a pro!

[@jacobjudd6257]

Your footage inspires me. You’ve got the best images coming out of these cameras. Thanks.

[@abettershredder6318]

This helped me A lot. Changed the whole way I film. Thank you. I've never had better skin tones

[@jayerwin2616]

Dude...such beautiful footage. It drives home all of your points so strongly.

[@marcoantonio2600]

Mateo Thank You for this beautifully shot, elegantly explained video. I am a high end Retoucher transitioning my skills to video and color grading. Hearing you talk about letting your shadows go black for the silouhetted scene got an amen 🙏 from me! You don’t know how many times I’ve been in a color booth with a photo editor reviewing a gorgeous image and because it has some darkness in it they want to open the shadows that should be dark! This affects mood, alters the reality of the scene- the #honesty of it. Loved 🥰 this video. Your shooting style and pragmatic explanation. Subscribed! 👊

[@kemuelnewlin]

Thank you for explaining in such a humble, knowledgeable fashion! Appreciate this.

[@EugeneZhes]

I totally agree with you! Especially about ISO and colors and feelings in the image instead of "technicaly right exposure"

[@walreeves]

Hey Matteo! Thank you very much for this EXTREMELY USEFUL piece of content! You’re a God’s sent! I’ll follow you FOREVER now. Thanks again, dude! You rock!

[@Mal0wens]

Absolute gold. Thank you so much. And such gorgeous footage too!

[@benarnoux]

I never really looked into false colors. Now I am very excited to try it!!! Thanks!!

[@erikligaard9498]

Thanks! Some beautiful shots and inspiration here. Looking forward to watch more videos from you.

[@vressQ]

Thank you I seen a lot of false color video but u made it very simple to understand

[@IsQuiCupiet]

Nella sua semplicità e chiarezza espositiva, questo è uno dei video più preziosi ed accurati sull'argomento. Ti seguo da anni, Matteo, e spero un giorno di avere modo di conoscerti. Keep up the good work.

[@donmyers3779]

I just want to say thank you for what you do, and so far, everything I've seen on your channel is fantastic. I'm a 45-year-old restaurant professional and sommelier who was headed into the Master of Wine program until COVID hit, and now I am fulfilling on an age-old passion for becoming a filmmaker. I am in just my third month at Los Angeles Film School, and we are barely scratching the surface of our technical basics; this video, in particular, is like a mini masterclass. I will be devouring everything you produce, and it's a pleasure with such beautiful and elegant shots. I will most likely be doing a lot of initial work in vineyards, which is part of my long-term vision and background. So I look forward to seeing you on the playground someday and hopefully learning more from you as well. Ciao.

[@matteobertoli]

Don Myers hey Don! Thanks so much for your comment and best of luck for the future! If you are coming to Tampa or I’ll be visiting LA, let’s get a glass of wine!

[@donmyers3779]

Matteo Bertoli copy that sir! I’m in Dallas, TX for the meantime so give a shout to [e-mail] or [e-mail] if you’re ever out this way. LA’s weather is generally nicer, but it’s pretty great here now as well.

[@NITOENT1]

The best detailed and explained video on the topic I've come across. Also - absolutely amazing footage! I can't wait to get mine to that next level!

[@vinnymwano]

I love your work man, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I am ready to push my filming career.

[@fpdima]

Hey Mat - great stuff. I agree, I always thought that "exposing to the right" stuff was a lot of nonsense - it never gave me great results. And yes - night is supposed to be darker than day, I couldn't agree more. Truer words were never spoken. Keep the truth and great work coming!

[@adamjohnzon]

Love this!! Man, you make owning a BMPCC a must. I am waiting for mine to arrive. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to teach this! You are truly an inspiration.

[@matteobertoli]

Thank you Adam!!

[@vincenzodilorenzo6304]

ciao Matteo! Your clips have the cleanest look i've ever seen! You made my day!

[@sushichef40]

Really cool video. Explained a lot on the false color that I’m trying to learn. Thank you dude!

[@seandawkins1782]

This video was a GREAT explanation of false color. Thanks! It helped a lot.

[@premiumparis]

For anyone seeing this and owning a Pocket (Original, 4k or 6K), you NEED to get his LUT ! They're really game changers...

[@julienpierb]

I have been on the verge since it was released! I have NEVER found a LUT that really worked but now a bunch of cinematographers I know use it and I am really tempted!

[@handwoundpickups6555]

Amazing video as ever thanks so much for taking the time to explain how false colours work.👍

[@DiraPictures]

Wow, i watch many many Videos of the BMPCC4K and this is the best CC i've seen

[@bebeboom2081]

Even this lesson is very well edited. Thanks for sharing this info!

[@GCHUSTLEHAWAII]

thanks for this video man. great tips. i only started looking into false colors recently and it helps tremendously

[@fernandomartins8661]

Hey Matteo, love your content. Really helpful and the footage looks really good. Great texture! Creamy and dreamy!!!

[@OfficialJahn]

Thanks a lot! This was really useful! Didn't know where the usual sweet spot lies with false colors. I've previously just avoided blues and reds without further fine adjustments. Also incorrectly recalled about BMPCC 4K's native ISO by much higher, so glad you brought it up, because I would've kept being way off the ISO reference without looking in to it.

[@HomeWalkVirtualTours]

Great video again Matteo. Looked forward to watching this all day and it was well worth the wait. 👍

[@ScheltemaBoutiqueGuitars]

Hi Matt. Love your channel. Just got my 4K a week ago and am so enjoying the experience. Learning alot including false color. I'm also using vintage lenses for the time being. Will grab a native lense soon. Appreciate your teaching.

[@TurnLemons2Lemonade]

Thanks for sharing this mate! You def helped me to expose properly & build out the right BMPCC 4K rig for me.

[@JoeEckert]

legendary stuff, your footage is breathtaking

[@avarmadillo]

Great video--super excellent, practical advise...comports very much with my own conclusions about exposure: use your eyes, stay away from the red in false color. Thank you so much.

[@Stromboli15]

Matteo, great to have you back in California! I think this is one of your best videos regarding your workflow. I can't wait to see what other footage you start posting! But this was a great vid for understanding false color. Thanks a bunch for the great info!

[@alessandrovalentino3406]

Very helpful. Thank you so much! I just starting to transition from dslr cameras to cinema cameras so this is very informative.

[@alaoolasunkanmi3273]

I am cinematographer and I just found out about false color today and you are the first person to put me through and I got everything I needed... Thanks

[@zerekblackford6094]

Lol

[@thesportzherniapodcast6713]

Great vid Matteo! Love your teaching!

[@gregrosetzky9130]

Your footage is brilliant!!! Thanks for your tutorial!

[@melchiorsantjes8370]

Thanks for sharing. This was really helpful. Keep up the good work

[@deanhubbard7162]

Just got into video recording with the BMPCC4K. Found this video extremely helpful since I'm recording in low light conditions. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@realmuzikstudiostv]

Great info I'm definitely going to pick up the buttery luts for my bmpcc4k

[@zzyzyx]

Hi Matteo, found my way to your channel through this video. Great explanation on false color! This video is easy to understand and well put together. You're footage looks awesome and you gained a follow from me! Also, you had extra information that helped me regarding exposure, such as touching base about ETTR.

[@salelena7704]

So easy and so good explanation through wonderfull scenes. THANK YOU VERY MUCH :-)

[@ozzmanzz]

Thanks for posting, I bought your luts because of your videos.

[@gelifishfilms]

Found this very helpful, many thanks!

[@Arri.]

One subject that i tried to ignore was False Colour 👀 thank you for giving precious tips👏🏼

[@easyyttv]

Proof is in the pudding. I love nothing more than listening to a video on a topic I'm trying to understand, seeing footage that proves time and time again why I shoot be watching and listening to that person. Your footage looks awesome. I was on the fence trying to figure out if I wanted to buy luts or just do what I've been doing and I will be trying buttery luts for sure. At least for all my clean/standard/commercial style work. Thanks for the quick tutorial and all the useful info

[@easyyttv]

only question I have is: You say you rarely go to 3200 but wouldn't 3200 be cleaner than the few numbers before it? Since its the dual native ISO or whatever? (sorry im new to video coming over from about 8 years of photography and a little video work) bmpcc4k btw

[@kristicifci5389]

Sir thank you very very much today i learnt something new from you that is important more to see from you sir greetings from Albania much love

[@13StopsPocketFilms]

10min film school series! Thanks for sharing man. Helps to get info from someone whose work I’ve respected for a while now.

[@cyberlightningmedia9899]

Great video Matteo! False Colour is a complete gamechanger

[@thecookiedirector9685]

Thank you Matteo, that was a really good video, informative and entertaining with your sick B-rolls. +1 subscriber Keep up with with the good stuffs 👊🏼

[@withlogic]

Love you man, you are one of the bmpcc kings😀

[@YEIYO1]

I just got my bmpcc4k and men this video is one of the best explaning how to get a pretty good exposure ,why and how, Thanks.

[@alex_lionspaw]

Your B-roll is gorgeous 🎥 Thanks for explaining. Edit: Watching till the end. Maaaan that 4k footage…you blow my mind with the quality!

[@christopherschwartz982]

Thanks for the info, Matteo. I picked up your Buttery LUT for the BMPCC 4k and it works a treat!

[@matteobertoli]

Thanks!!

[@premiumparis]

Love that video ! I wasn't sure how to expose with false color, so this helps a lot !

[@2frungjung]

I've been watching your channel a while now and I just LOVE your work

[@remainhungry]

This was extremely helpful. Thanks for making this!

[@FlyingJackalope]

Best false color video on KZbin by far. Thank you so much.

[@bpvirgo]

So helpful, thanks. Subbed. Hey, and beautifully presented with superb samples.

[@ali3482]

Thanks Matteo! Had been waiting for this video for a long time!

[@shvsagar]

very helpful video , amazing footage , precise too .

[@zerobrapsgiven258]

Your videos are by far my favorite on KZbin, simply the most helpful for me! I'm looking forward to more, thank you for doing these.

[@matteobertoli]

Zero Braps Given wow thanks man!

[@alanvidot344]

Thank you for such an informative tutorial!!

[@FloridaDohertys]

Excellent video - clear, informative, and with beautiful accompanying footage. Thank you.

[@ChristopherMartini]

Absolutely amazing video. Thank you so very helpful

[@jackmajor8421]

Been waiting for someone to make this video explanation. Thank you Matteo!

[@JDRivera3WingProductions]

Exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you sir.

[@thebrownfilmshow]

Very great advice!

[@leonardoguebara6984]

Awesome elucidation Matteo! keep up with your videos and awesome insta stories!

[@Whyiadda]

Man this is refreshing to hear. To train your eye and capture as much in camera as possible. I feel like I’m drowning in untenable workflow videos thinking this is insane. Looks like it’s just a matter of practicing and training.. who would’ve thunk it 😉 Excited to have subbed

[@Photographicelements]

Your footage is so beautiful!

[@meeno_the_man]

Beautiful stuff. Never stop shooting, brother. Never stop.

[@offcenterconcepthaus]

Hell, yeah -- exactly what I needed right now. Thank you.

[@halosoundandvision924]

Matteo makes the best LUTS on the market! I don't use anything else these days! You can see how much he knows from the equality of these clips and how great the LUTS are. Amazing customer service too!

[@matteobertoli]

Thank you!

[@esjohnruz]

Never clicked so fast for a video! Sooo Worth it! Thank you, Matteo.

[@souljah9e]

Thank you for sharing! I absolutely love the footage and color. Subscribed 💯

[@tlfilms207]

dude i love this video! learned so much about exposing

[@visualforge.]

Just purchased the BUTTERY LUTs. Looking forward to the next steps in my BMPCC 4K Journey.

[@AmbientEndeavors]

thanks for this video! helpful for someone just getting into the BMPCC. Your footage looks amazing, love the vibe!

[@WatermanSurin]

hey man new sub here! Love your philosophy on exposure and the way you explain things so nicely. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more videos from you

[@tyvanharen]

Man you are a wizard with the BMPCC4K. Straight up goals!

[@TheCorbettMediaGroup]

Really enjoyed this and appreciate your position regarding false color and 400 ISO.

[@mannyvidsnyc]

The point you made about night shots are so true. Too many people have horrible noisy night shots because they want us to see everything like the day.

[@joebun5960]

Very useful and beautiful shots. Thanks!

[@nataliakonig1082]

Thank you very much Mateo ! Your videos are very useful 💪🏽🎬 saludos desde Argentina

[@intrinsiccinema7374]

Man I tried this with my video monitor and it works with good exposure thank you so much

[@SuperFocus360]

Very, very well done sir.

[@ronineditor9920]

Look at those amazing backgrounds... so jealous!

[@topicruben]

I loved it! Thank you so much man. I'm new in your channel and also new using BMPCC (just sold my canon EOS R and got the pocket 6K pro) Loved those brolls from Como Lake, Siena, etc. Cheers from Italy!

[@jmbaillard7015]

By the way, I love your images! You’ve got quite an eye for art.

[@danielmarcussen714]

Must say. All the footage looks awesome!

[@5CUERDASPRODUCTORA]

Amazing class! 👏👏👏

[@spinstyle]

Great video! Super informative!! Thank you!

[@davidalanmedia]

Wow, super helpful. Love the look that your getting with Minimal effort in Da Vinci.

[@nicturner941]

Thanks! Just got my BMPCC 4k and this was very helpful

[@RadianFilms64]

Great video and explanation. Thank you!
