Fine work!

Good Tips thanks. 👋🏼

How would the VPN work with Netflix now that you are only allowed to stream from your HOME IP address???

[@shweshwa9202]

70 degrees? really? I think you meant 30 degrees rule. Not sure about the 30mm focus length though. It cannot be 70mm either.

[@savortv350]

Actually is 30 degrees and 20 mm rule...

[@kurashi22]

thx for the video, great content) you have a really annoying hissing or some other kind of noise in the video. maybe it's coming from the radio system

[@seankitching]

I know ;( so annoying my mic system kinda just died

[@miezeken]

Is having a thirsty thumbnail one of the tips?

This is a fantastic video. All great tips. I love the 70/30 rule. Very clever and creative. And thanks SO much for the free training. So generous.

[@seankitching]

Ah so good to hear it was useful! Enjoy the free training!

[@naturalgeographicdocs]

Awesome tips, not to mention your passion. Love from Mumbai, India. 🙏

[@Uhfgood]

Yeah sure, BACK lit ;-)

[@inSurfersParadise]

"Sequence not shots". Excellent. Another way to think of it is building a scene. I love limiting filming to 5 or 7 seconds. Grab 6 to ten of those. Then you can assemble a scene out of the shots. Forces you to be fast and varied.

[@seankitching]

Sounds like a nice system for getting what you need and nothing more. Helps with the editing process too in sure

[@TheIntuitiveBodyFoodieNetwork]

Love the 70/30 rule. Thanks!

[@SabirNaghiyev]

what is the camera you have?

[@stevehowardable]

Does your lut pack work on Final Cut Pro ?

[@seankitching]

Yeah it works with all editing software that accepts LUT's :)

[@xzxiaosdp6124]

How do you use the mistfilter with a ND Filter - Which Brand is it ?

[@seankitching]

The one I use is the Nisi swift system but you can use both with most brands, they can just stack :)

[@shahnawazvlog6266]

Super tips thanks so much great channel.

Stanley Kubrick spoke about the 70:30 rule. Great tips, thank you.

[@ixography]

this was awesome! definitely learned something

[@spencerbigum1309]

Awesome tips - really like the saying "shoot sequences not shots". I learned about the 180 degree rule from shooting conversations between 2 people when learning cinematography, maybe that's where it comes from.

[@Spidertrax007]

Very helpful tips! What are your camera settings (espascially aperture) when you shoot shadow side?

[@frommisha5465]

How you use mist filters and ND filter together?

[@janiceprinsloo8327]

These were awesome tips Sean! I did some of them without realizing why they work, now I know. Cheers

[@FAMEAcademyNY]

Good tips many dont speak about. Thanks!

[@castielvargastv7931]

Lots of good tips but i hate mist filters. It ruins the picture and the picture is not sharp anymore. You can always give this look in post if you need it. I dont want it baked in

[@JflowVisuals]

If want ultra sharp footages definitely dont use mist filter 🥸

[@seankitching]

Yeah definitely get this point. I guess its a preference thing. I kinda like the softer look, digital is too sharp these days. Adding it in post is also good but damn its heavy on your pc for long videos though

[@BarryMaskell]

I like the Philip Bloom mist filters

[@Chrstphr03]

Digital diffusion filter is a good way to go so that when you are editing in post it looks smooth and clear. The mist set in post is much less abusive on your system.

[@ibrahim.productions]

maybe you should try to change your picture profil setting. usually for sony users, s-log3 details are on -7 I think. try bumping that up since the filter lowers details

[@lynchy3562]

Can we see more of your videos that you have created

That mist filter looks very much like my old Sigma lens with fungus 😁

[@seankitching]

🤣🤣🤣 could probably sell the lens for more than it’s worth as a vintage look

[@jeremyscloset]

SEAN..... This is good simple stuff to try. Thanks.

[@CAMAS_7]

The 70/30 rule is something I guess I’ve been doing intuitively, but now it has a name. Thanks!

[@seankitching]

Yeah I always did it before I really knew what I was doing but nice to see how the rule works.

[@BeginningsAndPaths]

Great tips as usual. I've already learned a lot of things from you. I would like to ask you about your opinion on Mist and ND filters: if you have to choose just one of them what you would prefer to pick up? The thing is that I'm shooting with Osmo Pocket 3 - that's what I have for now - and I can't combine both ND and Mist. The ND gives me the opportunity to have the correct motion blur but no hase, while if I choose the Mist, I won't have the correct motion blur. I understand that in most of the cases it depends on the circumstances and the shot that I'm about to take, but... would you sacrifice the motion blur for having that mist view or you would prefer to sacrifice the mist look for the correct motion blur? And thank you for all you are doing 🙏😊 ~Philip

[@seankitching]

Ah damn that is a really tricky one. I think I would go with the nd to be honest. Overall having the correct motion blur is going to make a bigger difference I think. You can also add bloom in post but be warned it is heavy on your pc. I made a video recently about how you can do it in Premiere if you are interested.

[@BeginningsAndPaths]

@@seankitching Thank you, Sean. Yes, I watched that vid as quite all of your vids from a year+ ago (and when I have time I'm returning to your older ones). I still have to learn many things and constantly forget some tips and sometimes miss the opportunity to use them while on field 🙂 Time and practice... I can add the bloom in desktop CapCut too (my laptop can't handle Premiere or DaVinci) I just wasn't sure what the better solution would be. Thank you again.

[@bustedbehera]

really nice list of tips

[@WyattChristman]

How about learning the rules and then intentionally breaking them to gain a pattern interrupt?

[@seankitching]

Ah yeah super good technique I would think. As long as it seems intentional and not just like a mistake.

[@WyattChristman]

@@seankitching Right a certain amount of existing mastery has to be present to pull it off...

[@sansuiso]

Thanks a lot. I was getting frustrated with my footage and some of your advice just clicked in place and gave me the whoaaa moment 🙏

Glad I could help!love those moments hey haaha

Thank u for demonsrtrating what ur saying😊

i never knew that there's a mist filter that exists. should really buy that

[@seankitching]

Yeah its such a nice look!

[@Katharina552]

Actually such good tips!!!

[@FromAverageToWarrior]

Great stuff once again 🙏🏽

[@iljabuinitski9745]

As usual very useful tips, but it takes a lot of practice to nail these.

[@seankitching]

Very true! But at least having some ideas of what you can practice can speed up the process :)

Great video sir.

So nice to learn from young people like you! Esp the 70-30 rule! Love it thanks (I'm 61 btw)

Why is the quality of the video that terrible? Did you capture the video with the camera of a Macbook?

[@simonbolzdotcom]

Excellent advice, thank you

[@mathiaserichsen8177]

Thanks for a great video 🥰 Not sure you explained the 180 degree rule 100% right… in your example it looks like you put the semicircle from side to side of the subject instead of from front to black of the subject? 🫣

[@seankitching]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! In my opinion the circle can be from any point just as long as you stay in that half. Like if you had a scene of someone walking somewhere having the side might make more sense in my opinion at least :)

[@mathiaserichsen8177]

@@seankitching I guess anything goes, but it’s when you go from one side of the face axis to the other you’ll get the impression that the character is turning from one side to the other, and potentially confusing the audience (unless you do a dolly-shot from one side to the other) 🤙🏻

[@filmmakerevolution]

yeah you're right, the 180 degree rule is a line drawn through the scene between two people to keep the left & right sides the correct orientantion. Wouldn't work drawing a semi circle around someone like in that example
