PRO Filmmaking Hacks Using Household Items

[@YCImaging]

Which was your favorite hack? Definitely shaping light for me!

[@Unknownbrianzaste]

First One. I am Definitely using this for some B Roll on my videos!!!

[@jfilmzstudio3470]

The lights on the window and cabinet! Mind blown lol never thought of that. Great video YC keep it up!! 💯💯

[@luisgomez8771]

Shaping Light!

[@focusonchrist6752]

The suitcase was madd funny simplistic dopeness. The light bending was nice to see. The mounting lights was clutch. The whole video was liked and appreciated. 1Love

[@terrencejakes]

Great video bro. I definitely have to go to the light shaping with the cardboard

[@FarhanKamdar]

Man the thing about your videos is not only is there good info but the way you present it is so non condescending and like you actually get it vs some one who thinks no budget film making is a sort of fun gimmick. Appreciate the way you don’t talk down to your audience man

[@RyanFila]

That’s a fact! Coming from an equal feeling makes his videos dope. He’s definitely just helping out, not making this video to keep you around.

[@CreativeRyan]

The butter knives hack is GENIUS!!

[@chr1staki]

I do it with pâté knives cos I'm posh

[@KNFFARMING]

Stop hyping it up

[@firstname405]

I'm wondering how gaffer taping two metal utensils to a cabinet and then magnetising the light to the metal things is easier than just putting a bit of tape on the back of the light.

[@mariogravina4495]

Here is what I truly appreciate about your work. It is results oriented. You get sh-t done. While most people keep their rears at home thinking "man all I need is a dolly" or "if I had a good lighting kit"... None of it is required to get things done. What I rescue from this, is that anyone with the DESIRE to make videos can, regardless of the pro tools available to them. It helps me daily, when I get stuck into dumb thought processes like "man I can't shoot that without a proper jib" or such. Thanks for another great video.

[@JoeMooreProductions]

The panty hose hack is some outside of the box creativity lol. Good stuff

[@RyanFila]

Super creative. You putting a pair in your pack? 😆

[@OutdoorAdventureTV]

I started a channel about 6 months ago and am learning that things don't go as planned. Having hacks like these can make the difference between a successful day of shooting and a lost day. Love your channel!

[@TheInternationalDJCasper]

My favorite is the butter knife taping

[@silverlightphotoco]

Wow! These are ALL really great, but my favorite was using something with rollers on it, and I especially like the idea of using a piece of hard luggage (because I'm already using one to transport the kit)!

[@petersarellas]

The chair dolly is so so clutch! Definitely used that before and will be using it again for sure

[@alivemoveon]

Its nice to watch videos like this to take ideas for creativity, without having to spent a lot for fancy gear.

[@rickthacutz]

I’m trying to get into film making and vlogging and all I have is a g7x mark 2 so all of these hacks are good for me! Thank you!

[@RyanFila]

You can do so much with that! Learning how to use light is way more than the camera at first! You gotta decent phone too?

[@TylerCaseyProd]

That butter knife hack is super clutch! Love all these hacks man, we often get so caught up in buying gear that we forget the fun DIY nature of when we started.

[@Unknownbrianzaste]

Love these videos. Especially with COVID and making youtube videos, home hacks is what I need! Thank you!!!

[@jsaves3225]

Amen. Good luck bro

[@Unknownbrianzaste]

@Beginner Code thanks man!

[@Unknownbrianzaste]

@@jsaves3225 Thank you!

[@RyanFila]

Honestly, the “home hacks” is great.

[@gospelheatvideoproductions5505]

I truly like the butter knives and the travel rolling bag hacks. I will definitely use them even if I have a camera slider. I think it is extremely creative of you.

[@LaughterOnWater]

Great hacks! The suitcase dolly hack is probably in everyone's reach. My fave.

[@thirdeye200]

I loved the suitcase roller hack. I am going to try this with my slider doing a dolly zoom and then moving the suitcase side to side. Thanks YC 🤟🏾

[@Jossy.mp4]

I definitely loved the DIY black mist filter. That stuff is tight

[@RyanFila]

Pantie hose changing the game

[@imthewavegod]

definitely gonna use the butter knive hack, i have 2 mc's that i been using for a while now. when i've been in a situation using them for car shots i've just tucked them in the center console or below the seats, but with those butter knives no more loss of light if i can just put/tape the knives anywhere!

[@ProducedByFMB]

shaping light and taping knives for mounting lights are my favs!

[@chr1staki]

Defo suitcase on wheels for me, followed by shaping light, then pantie-hos (we call them 'tights' in 🇬🇧 and yes I wear them on the weekend 😆)

[@RyanFila]

Who ever reads this please know: You have so much potential inside you. You are beautiful and strong. Have a wonderful day ❤️. Much love!🙏🏽

[@thirdeye200]

Thanks for the motivation and affirmation 🤟🏾

[@RyanFila]

@@thirdeye200 You’re welcome! 😊❤️

[@ThongNguyen-fl9jp]

Oh MY GOD! THE BUTTER KNIVES!!!!! Slice of genius!

[@MateenManek]

That knives hack is incredible. Filming in cars is ridiculously hard, so it's definitely brilliant!!

[@lit3hawk]

Love this video. My favourite hack is probably the light-shaping with cardboard hack. Absolutely genius

[@STGFilmmakers]

Ya definitely love the shaping light.

[@EstherTK]

Gotta be the Tights and the knife for me. Genius 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@MKL_D]

The bag is my favorite.

[@jaywhitebk]

YC! I appreciate you sharing these tips. It’s super helpful. Appreciate all of your content.

[@Archytas-Leroy55]

My very first feature, years ago, I made lights out of Tin coffee cans. Use what ya got! Great video!

[@Project26TV]

YC man you have inspired me like crazy. I’m a beginning videographer. I started with a gx85 my gh5 will be here Friday super excited. Keep up the hard work thanks for the motivation!

[@attentionproductions7106]

The polarizer hack is my favorite, can’t wait to try it! Thanks fam

[@CadeBergmann]

super informative and helpful! thanks! Def gonna try the car lighting hack

[@thatboybejammin2201]

The butter knife hack is solid!

[@CoconutJustice]

That butter knife one is dope!

[@rashelrene6725]

I love all of these hacks! I’ll have to try some. I’m still finding my footing and just creating what comes to mind in the moment. But these hacks will come in handy when I start planning ahead. Awesome content.

[@JayneNicoletti]

Gonna use the suitcase/towel one. Thanks!

[@kanthimathisaravanan7687]

Hands down the suit case hack was my favourite

[@luisgomez8771]

For sure me too

[@RyanFila]

Another good one is if you put a towel on the counter or a smooth table you can drag it across and it’s really smooth. It’s good for coffee or kitchen video!

[@JHawk]

Great idea for a video man, super helpful!

[@jmitchphotography]

Very dope hacks!! I’ve been using the wheel option and towel prop for a while now.. lol thank you for sharing!

[@RyanFila]

The towel across the table is solid too. Like across the kitchen countertop!

[@dirtcreature3d]

This is now my favorite video from you man, these are really really solid hacks. Gonna be using all of these 🤙

[@bychrisjones]

Working on that 2021 whats in my bag and I'm still new to the whole video game so this was dope, gotta use the desk chair to get those b roll lens shots

[@jamarparker6324]

Dope. I definitely like the luggage one and the stocking cap

[@shgenergy]

Last one is pretty sick never thought of that. The cardboard one is a classic though I have def used that in past its great. Great vid overall

[@videocasetteTV]

The last one is awesome ❤❤❤

[@michaelmejia3561]

Such a great video. I wrapped on a short where we were using car rigs and mounting lights. The magnet hack would have been CLUTCH!! Keep the content coming 👏🏾

[@michaelmejia3561]

Pro mist hack is super as well

[@UniqornGleek29]

this is the most useful filmmaking tutorial I’ve ever watched. you’re amazing man! I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for any future tutorials from here: subscribed!

[@melekgumulek]

all of them are really helpful but the first one is soo creative! thank you

[@chocolateanddutchy]

Seriously when I saw you with the suitcase I was was like, Damn I should’ve used that in some videos, would've made it so much easier. Thank you so much, really enjoy your videos 😊

[@juliustubbsDP]

The slit is a dope cheap hack. Thanks for sharing

[@kick91185]

All solid. The lighting hacks are the best!

[@JTorres2099]

Favorite hack has to be the butter knives. That was creative as hell

[@thatdudesdifferent7928]

The light slit hack is awesome

[@alexciprian]

Budget filmmaker here so you know I've been using all these techniques. Gotta say though that last tip inspired me to find a way to convert some old Yongnuo RGB lights to be magnetic. I usually just gaff tape them everywhere haha

[@focusonchrist6752]

I've always been a bootlegger. I love these "hacks". Thanks a million for this insightful share.

[@kenthe7210]

I'm going to use all of these! I think my favorite was using panty hose in place of the Black Pro Mist filter.

[@PastorFury]

New to the channel and new to filmmaking. Have been binging on Mark Bone videos and found you today, so dope to see you shouting him out. My fav hack you shared was the panty hose. 🤯

[@QippysChannel]

The panty hose one was really good man! It takes away all the harshness of the light, good stuff man 👍

[@AltCine]

I recently made a video about sticking magnets to the back of my lights but the cutlery hack will make them even better. Thanks 😎

[@dericsanchez4081]

Loved the suitcase hack!

[@jackstevensbass]

Nice one, Chrys! I saw a video where someone used an ironing board and a towel as a slider. I'm going to try the knives on the windscreen, but I'm calling you if the cops pull me over. Ha!

[@qewproduction]

The last one was my favorite, project coming up...Thanks, Peace!

[@lifestylesdigitalmediagrou911]

The cardboard light shaper was my favorite I am gonna try that one on my next shoot

[@TexasPelican]

Butter knife hack, loved it!

[@KBWick]

This was next level creativity!

[@whistletutor]

Gonna bust out my roller suitcase next time I need to shoot some b-roll for sure - love your content man!

[@Droneswayup]

All of those hacks are excellent and I will be using them. Thanks

[@CaseyHardman]

Bro, the DIY Black Pro Mist using some spray paint and a cheap UV filter is legit. I did one the other day and it looks so good. $12 beats $100+ lol

[@StoryDrivenFilmmaking]

Some epic tips and tricks in this one! I will definitely be using some of these.

[@williammartey]

Bro! That butter knife hack*chefs kiss*

[@Deballonnenmama]

I am new here! and love the hack with the butter knives. I might use it and add magnets on my phone to stick it up for overhead videos Thanx for sharing

[@peterchavez655]

Love the vibes of your videos my guy! 🤙 keep it up!

[@ZainRiza]

that butter knife hack is actually genius

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

This is great advice!! Especially for me, since I only do it as a hobby.

[@Z.sid3]

These are all really good i can't even choose which ones my favorite. Great video man!

[@waynesouth7129]

hey bro all the hacks are dope , can you do a vlog on the sharpest vintage lens under 200usd ?

[@madepranata1506]

Woww! These hacks are really good..thank you so much YC

[@HAVOCGRAPHIX]

shape light for sure

[@MemesMan1995]

Thanks for sharing! Amazing tips!

[@DirectedbyNOMAD]

Nice tips bro

[@SimieIriarte]

the butter knife hack just solved soooo many of my future problems

[@co_si_dame]

love the cutlery one!

[@anarabicdp]

I don't know about the pantyhose, but the metal and tape on the car window is such a good idea

[@KEN7ELTV]

“Some of y’all really ain’t got money like that.” I don’t know why that was funny to me lol

[@krillsx]

The number one thing I struggle with is lighting and how to make my videos look crisp. I see with your Canon r6 is 20 mp. So should I be focusing on better lens, mp per camera or lighting to get that clear crisp looking video. My footage always looks dull and dingy after it goes in the editing software almost like it was filmed on a cloudy day. Can software dull footage automatically?

[@DrWasim]

Loved the dolly!

[@ThirdEyeVisionPictures]

I like the Velcro. I've used the others before

[@topicruben]

QUESTION! Why do you use the EF 16-35mm and not the RF 15-35mm??? Cause you can use the EF with your C200??? Meals on wheels, you're the BEST man! LOVE THIS VIDEO

[@pacodinero1330]

Butter Knives for sure!

[@FlorianFrickel]

Some great tips tho. Always try to use what you got and make the most of it. Sometimes less is more 👍

[@CaimarSalizi]

Dope tips Y! Tip 4 was fire

[@Fodaydontplay]

The cardboard one is nice.. I like it

[@AutuerPreneur]

I like all the hacks. I'm using them all. Thx!!

[@DavidSenteno]

I loved this video. Made me wanna get out some scissors and cardboard and create. Thanks 👍🏻🥂

[@KevinCraigWest]

Taped knives on window was dope.

[@RecognizeReaux]

I like the luggage hack and the light Mount the best

[@TemieBeauty]

Whoa I thought that man on your sweatshirt was an overlay dancing 😆 I need to get my eyes checked... 😝

[@andersonimages24llc]

Dope hacks homie ...as a videographer I don't have the financial freedom yet for expensive gear. Most of my videos are make with story blocks and my own B rolls. Thanks.

[@christianeli9375]

The butter knife is genius. When you’re done with it, just make some toast 🍞

[@ibbu1086]

Awesome, love you bro. Will you please suggest me the text/titles overlay effects you used . Hope to hear from you . Cheers bro.

[@1shotbrent]

I wish you dropped this while we were in quarantine man lol. I would have been filming every day!!!
