SAFELIGHT - Short Film - Fuji XT3

[@lifethroughalens9878]

Phenomenal! And while the X-T3 is a great camera, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that the person behind the camera and production is the real star of this show.

[@sapienstudio]

Very kind words thank you friend!

[@mxdst14k29]

Amazing work!!!!!

[@RockstahRolln]

"the person behind the camera and production is the real star of this show" - THIS right here!! Totally agree!! 💯

[@Astonp99]

I swear, if I ever win the lottery, one day, I'll probably buy an old camera, a shit ton of films, a ticket to the other side of the globe and a small apartment in the city I flew to. I would probably spend days and nights, by foot, on public transportations or in cabs taking pictures of everything then develop them once at home. This film makes me dream, thanks to its cinematography, its mood, its monologue, its colours, especially in the night. My only regret is that I wish it would have been a bit longer. Thank you for this, I'm probably going to watch it several times again and I really hope that you'll make similar short cinematics like this one soon !

[@sapienstudio]

Huge thanks for your comment! Travelling as a photographer is indeed one of the most satisfying yet strange experiences one can have. Longer cinematic coming up! Thanks for watching!

[@avgeekviolinist]

Thank you for tagging this film with "XT3" or I would never have found it. What a masterpiece.

[@B.Archivedd]

I keep coming back to this year after year, always makes me feel something

[@sapienstudio]

🙇🏼‍♂️ appreciate you.

[@ruffserafin]

I came and watched this to see what other student filmmakers were doing with fujifilm cameras, and ended up watching one of the greatest short films I've ever seen.

[@TerenceEnn]

Bro the colors and the cinematography on this... amazing. I’m thinking about getting an XT3 and using canon FD lenses with it

[@theonewhoroars]

@@hugofranca8568 tbh colors imo are preferences but opinions!

[@JoaoSilva22222]

I see guys here talking about the camera only, but funny to see how they neglect the artist behind it...none of them ask questions about the cinematography process.....

[@JoaoSilva22222]

@GZ EL lol true

[@Cinnovations]

It's not a conundrum, as great as it is. It's right in front of our eyes.

[@seamydobbsno1]

Creativity doesn't matter anymore, its all about the best lens and best camera!! Blah blah blah!!

[@bitronicc1887]

Oh I don't know, maybe because the camera name is in the title and is what people were searching for in the first place....

[@ImCorrosive]

I’ve been watching this every time I need to motivate myself to practice. Thank you so much for sharing a piece of your soul! Also, thank you for having XT3 in the title (I would’ve never found your channel)! Please don’t stop, you never know who you’ll inspire!

[@sapienstudio]

Such kind words, thank you.

[@pierrezapata90]

I've watched this 3 times now...cried every time. It hits harder and makes more sense everytime and yet, as artists we all wish to feel the same sort of pain so that we might create a good moment from it.

[@angelicamilash]

this is absolutely amazing. I don't even write youtube comments but Boris you're really onto something here woah

[@sapienstudio]

ANGELICAMILASH 😭 Means a lot Angelica thank you! Can’t wait to work on some Retro Futuristic Asian Gangster thrillers with you!

[@dagmichael]

This is art; a moving painting with sound design, elevated to a state of mind. Beautiful.

[@djhhomevideos3464]

This is really great. I’m about to embark on a path I know I’m ready for. The cinematography is outstanding, and the story’s minimalist style telling a grander picture is very touching. Thank you.

[@sapienstudio]

DJH HOME VIDEOS Appreciate your take. Thank you!

[@michaeljude8931]

still love this.

[@TrainWithTeesh1]

Nice work! My favorite shot was in the car looking back from the passenger seat. Really evoked a mood and feeling. Loved it!

[@lazaroaleks3392]

This video brings me to sell my a7iii and go with the XT3

[@sapienstudio]

Lazaro Aleks Been there done that man...never looked back.

[@thomasyongg]

SAPIEN STUDIO is the Fujifilm actually that good comparing to the a7iii for videos and photo?

[@polanialmoni6274]

ThomasYong no

@@polanialmoni6274 Video yes.

[@jonstnr]

@@thomasyongg Definitely, and the user experience is a lot more satisfying than the Sony's, lenses are way more affordable... No IBIS but there are a lot of stabilized lenses (the 18-55 kit lens is excellent).

[@ataelbizanti9998]

It’s been years and I keep coming back to this video to get inspired every time I get too much in my head about being able to produce my scripts without fancy Reds or Alexas. Honestly you motivate all of us to work on our craft not our gear. Would you be willing to do a breakdown of everything that went behind the scenes? How you set up your camera settings, any lighting equipment to set up your cinematographic mood before post production, stabilisers used. This is phenomenal work and I believe such a video can be so educational to many of us who would love such guidance

[@mobarrett2125]

Make the feature. Great short-make that feature and you’ll go places.

[@sapienstudio]

Yo which feature??

[@strad404]

SAPIEN STUDIO i think they meant to make it into a full feature

[@johnnys1901]

Wow, this was REALLY good. It looks like a professional film for me. Doesn't look like amateur stuff. The actress was really, really good. A big part of this movie being so good is because of her. And the screenplay. That detail in the beginning of the TV sound in the background while she was speaking, between 0:38 and 0:53, was where this film really got me, that was really good. Specially at 0:42 when it shows the TV and the Asian hosts speaking. This was the best short film I have seen on KZbin so far, since I started looking for this type of content a few days ago (and I've watched quite a lot). I was actually just looking for short films on the Fuji XT3, was not specifically searching for movies or short films, but I'm glad I saw this one. Congratulations!

[@sapienstudio]

Johnny S Hey thank you! It’s nice knowing which parts people enjoy, rather than the usual comments about the camera and what lens was used etc. Appreciate the comment mate.

[@raoulkoster8567]

[@area51pictures]

This is fucking sick, dude. YES. A million times yes. Cine aside (GORGEOUS) you're a hell of an editor. That's some delicious crosscutting and the way you juxtaposed it all with her voice? Forget it. Hella feeling the Chris Doyle vibes. Cheers from LA.

Masterclass in editing and cinematography. Just got the new X-T4 myself and can’t wait to get out and shoot.

[@VAdrianPalacios]

Dude, I come back and rewatch this for inspiration, and since this is probably my 8th watch, I just caught a pretty impressive shot at 3:30. It looks like a dolly in-zoom outshot to convey the background almost slipping away even further in the frame. Very impressive! Did anyone else catch that!?

[@sapienstudio]

Haha nice catch! Thanks for supporting Adrian 🤘🏼

After seeing your film and some other films done with Fuji cameras. lets get a petition started to have the following The Fuji XT3 and Fuji XT 20 have unlimited recording time limit via a firmware update, like on the Panasonic GH5 and GH5s and Sony A6600, especially the Fuji XT3

First of all, u heard it already about a 1000 times but great movie !! I was wondering did u use a particulair setting or/and fuji film recipes or do u keep it basic and do the color grading/editing after ? Myself also want do shoot some moodie films u got me more motivated and i can use some tip/tricks
