OHHHHH GOOOD FOR YOU AND HOW WAS IT ?

[@suqmadique9762]

I hope it was fucking good, because it's useless now, isn't it?

[@zintosion]

Can't believe Christian Bale called you an amateur after seeing how passionate and knowledgeable you are about your craft.

[@Crowbars2]

I bet you can check the lighting fantastically on that setup!

[@dutchvideoshooter]

This series is so good! Finally some real information from real world use :) I love building rigs and parts for it. You got yourself a new subscriber :-)

[@Cyrshot]

Great breakdown, thanks Shane.

[@BigL721]

At 7:11 it would've been funny if he started screaming at that guy for getting part of the camera in the shot on the left lol

[@ScenicoStudio]

Shane seems like a really friendly and fun guy. Man would I kill to shadow him!!!

[@randallburgess6393]

Thanks again Shane. Always come away inspired to do better and with some wisdom to do it.

[@filmmakers_academy]

Thank you Randall! :)

[@Nell_Sandrenberg]

Very nice rig.

[@maxxender]

Was great talking to you at the RED party last month! One thing you didn't explain was which front handles were those.

[@JomToons]

Excellent build!

[@XiongysaurasRex]

this is amazing

[@AnthonySherritt]

Your videos are simply the best.

[@DavidS-zq8tz]

Better than all the rest

[@carolineandtigger]

Very nice. Thank you for sharing.

[@matthewstephen4014]

OOH GOOD FOR YOU

[@chadwin]

Love love watching this kind of stuff! Thanks for breaking down your rig Shane! #GearGoals

[@filmmakers_academy]

Thank you so much for watching Chadwin!

[@MANIAKRA]

wow this is a beautiful made demo video. 2:57 was really cool!

[@FunnyGuy93]

Is this the guy that likes to walk through the set during scenes and tweek the lights

[@McSuperfly101]

Apparently he's all "AH DADA DADA!" like this in the background.

[@MCJimboy10]

yup

[@VAZZU]

hahahahah

[@econsproduction2866]

great camera set-up...its really nice and interesting how you unselfishly share your expertise... your a great visual guru in filmmaking.... sir!

[@user-rh1uf5dl9q]

He is selling it to us

[@user-rh1uf5dl9q]

Basically an infomercial

[@ACimagemaker]

Bruh the Beat!!

[@iryssteel]

Talks about the arri LCS several times, all the images have either a Preston or Hocus Axis one :P

[@LikeAGentlemanPlease]

You sir are pimpin with the tech! No hate here keep filming them high quality videos.

[@filmmakers_academy]

Hahaha thanks!

[@belbozs]

what shoulder rig handles do you use?

[@nextstar55]

what ND filter did you use in the the sunlight

[@dancing_pictures]

I like your contest. What is the name of the friction arms?

[@bgg4892]

Shows us an awesome camera with it's setup totaling over $200,000+. Films the video close to the edge of a pool 😄

[@SF_Curious]

Can you upload a list links of this setup elements ? The link in your description is broken

[@AdamBrianDada]

Thanks for doing this in 4K. Any reason for cameraman run follow focus versus wireless focus for a focus puller? Just curious.

[@filmmakers_academy]

Thank you for this great question! Here are some reasons why... 1. An AC can usually have better depth perception and can judge focus better while using a manual focus. 2. Wireless follow focus system (even though it's rare) can experience inference at a distance.

[@AdamBrianDada]

Thanks for the reply -- that's what I figured myself and it's good to hear it from a pro. I see more and more focus pullers on smaller and smaller productions, though, which always interests me because it's an additional labor expense that doesn't really appear to be needed all the time (most of the time?).

[@Nayok0709]

how to edit like cinematic? plzz share

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Such a wizard. Love it! What happened to the audio?

[@filmmakers_academy]

Hey man! Can you give me the timestamp, please? Also, down to collab? :) Let me know!

[@MexicanMovie]

Timestamps for the "un-Hurlbut-like" audio: 33 seconds, 58 seconds, 2:57 and 11:44 ........... love your Inner Circle though, you're an awesome PRO !!!!!

[@Lvisionmedia]

There are always important informations from him. But he shouldn’t compare things with the C500 and cable stuff. Things have changed and you don’t need such a recorder as in those days. Back in the days he loved the C500 and used it for cinema and commercial.

[@dslrvideoshooter]

​@@filmmakers_academy Somehow missed your comment. Always down to collaborate! Been watching since the 5DmkII days!

[@artistandcamera3245]

@@dslrvideoshooter Same here!

[@travelingtriathlete446]

Is it my headphones or is the audio changing with each cut?

[@orangebetsy]

Is that his pad? Cuz that's one sweet backyard situation!

[@GirlWithTheFilmCam]

Anyone know what the side monitor is? I know the tail monitor is the RED, but I can't see a logo on the focus puller's side. The Kit link is no longer working. Curious to know who makes it. Thanks! @hurlbutacademy

[@GirlWithTheFilmCam]

I figured it out. It's the SmallHD DP 7 (pro?) and it is rigged upside down w/ image inverted.

[@raredreamfootage]

What do you mean the Motion Mount doesn't really exist?

[@Eternitum]

And Bro said: 2:45 and insulted us in CinemaScope LMAAOOOOOO That was epic.

[@BigL721]

Is this guy related to Ed Helms from the Hangover

[@fpdima]

Good vid and info but I had to laugh when he said that rig is “minamalistic”. I have a RED and my “minmalistic” system is simply a monitor on top, a lens and focus wheel and of course the battery.

[@danielwylie-eggert2041]

clearly not measuring seconds on the side of that battery plate... measuring the voltage of the V mount battery when plugged in (around 14.4v), and the slowly dropping voltage of the three 16650 batteries (4.2v fully charged each, coming to 12.6v). That's why it drops suddenly from 14.4v to around 12.0v when the "timer" starts. Main consequence is that if you are expecting the camera die when that number hits 0, you will be very disappointed.. the camera should quit when it reaches the bottom if the input voltage tolerance for the RED.

[@shiskeyoffles]

Which is Bruce here?

[@sa.t.2507]

Ok cool now lets talk about you and Bale!

[@serwinzzalot9989]

Will this camera make a good movie

[@filmmakers_academy]

Yes.

[@Lvisionmedia]

No, it’s the operator 😉

[@dm.b7560]

MovCam gave up on DSMC 2 long ago, and it had amazing prototypes for RED, but oh well.....

[@REMRODFILMS]

i promise that red start up is a pain 😆

[@Crowbars2]

When you zoom into the cameras monitor, it's a bit hard to see because of the Sun being in the way. You got any idea about hey! It's fucking distracting!

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

SHOULd we be taking Shanes advice? 🌚👀 Nah jk that happened yrs ago😂😂😂😂😂

[@Zen_Tiago]

There comes Christian Bale...

[@TheJotaroKujo]

YOU'RE A NICE GUY. BUT THAT DOESN'T CUT IT WHEN YOU'RE MESSING AROUND ON STAGE.
