Beginner with $50,000 RED Camera vs PRO with iPhone 13!

[@kreativekb8761]

I feel like Alyssa's video could pass for a TV commercial while Jake's video is perfect for social media which is exactly what the client want. Either ways, in the end Quality is subjective!

Alyssa, the Beginner, here... and Wow! I am absolutely blown away by all the positive feedback. I just want to thank Parker, Jake and the team for allowing me this growing opportunity to participate in this Beginner vs. Pro shoot. Walking in, I was nervous and had no idea what to expect. Walking out, I was so nervous about the feedback I would receive. Thank you to each and every person who has commented feedback, critiques, and compliments. I'll forever be humbled and grateful that I was able to do this challenge.

I thought you did an amazing job, your video like was pointed out could be used on a website or tv. Great job 👍🏻

[@joshgiesbrecht]

Both were good. My problem with Jake's is I've seen a lot of cheap/scam products that use that format (especially that opening AI voice). So although the production and everything was good, I felt skeptical about the validity of the product. Alyssa's had me more convinced this was a genuine quality product. Honestly both were good for respective platforms. Jake's for tiktok/KZbin shorts/Instagram, Alyssa's for KZbin and the like.

[@jnsk1a2b3c]

agreed- when it comes down to it I actually would consider buying from alyssa's ad, but was turned off by how disingenuous the robotic voice sounds and wouldn't buy from jake's. good job both though!

[@schnittpunktaus5236]

She went from beginner to amateur in a matter of 2 sentences.

[@JakeWeisler]

@Christopher Mitonides she knew what an F Stop was… what are you talking about? She told me to bring it down because she knew that a lower F stop meant more light. She just didn’t know where to see it on the RED since she had never used it before. Nobody’s lying to you buddy

[@kempkennedy3542]

Honestly, when Jake said "Wow it actually works" and the look on the client's face... I was more sold on the product than anything else done in either ads. If that could have been in the ad, with something like a cut saying... "You bet your ass it works!" while sticking the product on the phone and waking out like a boss, might have pulled out my wallet right then and there.

[@potatoman9415]

[@laetitia08]

Honestly Alyssa's vidéo is the best... Better lighting, simple, very incredible

[@matthewmoonen5989]

Alyssa's video is undeniably good. She has a good understanding of the concepts, and little details like the slow motion water shot show this - this is something that needs to be planned at the time of filming because you need to adjust the shutter speed accordingly. I also think that from the perspective of editing and getting straight to the point and selling the product, Parker's video achieves this better. A great demonstration that both knowledge and experience are important.

[@immgs9199]

2000 IQ play by the client, who used the competitive nature of the video's structure to pit these two into creating entirely different styles of video, specifically so he could use both of them for his various mediums. Two videos instead of one? That's what we call big brain! In all seriousness, this video is so valuable for so many reasons. Amazing work and I can't wait to see more content like this!

[@SonicSyndicate13]

I'm more impressed by Alyssas video tbh. She brought up that you can clean the screen cleaner itself and didn't use the same B-roll 3 times like Jake did :D Ofc the quality also helps.

[@andreigaming5581]

Lol, Jake used an iPhone he couldn't do what Alyssa did with the RED camera.

[@garyclement5527]

That was really a eye opener. Both advertisements were wonderful. It just goes to show, $50,000 cameras and equipment don't make a winning campaign, but learning your craft does. We all have cameras now and can do the impossible with the smallest setup. Great video for learning.

[@Omgiamsotriggered]

Facts, u got budget cameras these days for like 500-600$ that are insane and in 4K. Saying that means quality of the video is no longer a question, its gonna be superb. What remains is how good you are at production and post production. Lovely times we live in for to be a video amateur

I like that you mentioned things like a CTAs etc. Shows that you're a creative that took the time and did the research as to why the client would want the vid in the first place, and acted upon it. I feel as vid/photogs, we tend to forget that sometimes. Kudos

[@WhySteve]

It's quite funny because I have an opposite opinion. If I see a "candid" ad on social media, I immediately stop watching because it feels cheap and scammy but if I see a "landscape professional" ad, I stay engaged and watch the whole thing.

Alyssa’s video is perfect for a KZbin ad and Jake’s is perfect for a TikTok ad! Together these ads are an amazing package to give a client!

[@Czajnickov]

As a advertising student I have to say that, I'm amazed. Both of the ads are amazing, you have made greate ads, both of you. For me Alyssa's add is amazing, but Jake made what the client wanted and that is the point. Alyssa didn't make and add that the client wanted which was a social media add. Her first step should be "recognising" what the devices are mainly used for those, and the answer to that are cell phones. So your work "surface" is a lot smaller becose it isn't a horizontal screen, but a vertical mainly, her add would be good for TV or KZbin, if you would cropp it to fit for lets say TikTok you would loose a lot of footage.

[@almyrrace9844]

Both of you make a fantastic infomercial video about the cleaning product. The first video is good to use on TV, KZbin and Websites as advertisements that attract future buyers. The second video is perfect for any social media, which the client wants to recognize and to endorse.

[@CarlheinzRennie]

Almost wish you both created a more similar style ad and both shot in the same format, because at the moment it felt like Alyssa’s video was higher in production value, just due to the nature that you chose to shoot your ad, which felt like a value added cutdown for social. Personally I would’ve liked if the styles were both in the same ballpark, shot in landscape, just so it’s an actual comparable scenario. I would’ve also liked to see if the client went in blind, not knowing who shot which video, select the one he would use.

[@get_spanked240]

In all honesty, while iPhones are still far from matching the quality of cinema/mirrorless cameras, the 6:19 format honesty scares me as KZbin is slowly dying. Im afraid soon many videographers are soon gonna have to (if not already starting to) aim for higher end clients who still see the value of good cameras; which will mean a harsher competitor market and less jobs.

[@emilyesnyman]

[@flyingfilmmaker]

6:19 really scares me too 😂😂

[@notionpromotions]

[@dirtysouthtiger]

Since it was used for social media, it was better shot in portrait mode and not landscape mode. Both videos looked good, it’s helpful to show the practical use and ability of a product in a video.

[@furkat]

Very interesting to watch as usual!. Jake's video is very self-explanatory and cool for sure, BUT next time how about if you guys try not to tell the final judge who the PRO is and who the BEGINNER is (from the beginning).

It was a perfect show. Anyone who wants to get into this business has just learned a lot. As convincing as the approach is for social videos, I am not convinced of the product and would never buy it.

This will scratch your valuable lenses and surfaces. For sure.
