Welcome back to another music video tutorial. This video was created for the up and coming music videographers who are just dipping their toes into music video shooting. This advice in this music video tutorial is exactly what you need to pull off a successful music video shoot whether you own a budget friendly mirrorless / DSLR camera or simply only have a cellphone at your disposal. These tips and tricks I give my advice on for shooting your first music video can still be directly applied to cellphone music video shooting.

Again, as mentioned in the music video tutorial, this was a low budget, run and gun music video. No storyline, minimal slow motion b-roll and kept it to a performance based video. There is no right or wrong way to film music videos and that is why this area of filmmaking is so saturated in 2022. Creators can either create a super simple, to-the-point music video like the one in this music video behind the scenes OR let their creativity run absolutely wild. The intent behind this music video tutorial was to show the new music videographers out there that filming a music video really isn't all that difficult even if you have limited resources! At the end of the day, I used a mirrorless camera body, 35mm lens, wide angle lens, bluetooth speaker and an old $40 tripod.

I have a camera canon 600D, I want to start shooting music video. Need your Advice

[@jigedoutkid]

Fire video man. Some useful info in there. My question is, for the interior car shot, you said you shot it at 60 fps for the performance scene. I’m going to assume your editing timeline was 23fps so if you didn’t plan on slowing down that performance scene ( when you showed playback it was regular speed) then what made you decide to shoot it in 60fps

[@RoyalZProduction]

Hey! Appreciate the love! So yeah, for that shot yes it was filmed in 60fps. The odd performance scene I film in 60fps so I have the option to use it as Broll if need be, which I didn’t even end up doing. My timeline was indeed a 23.978fps timeline. My Lumix S1 spits 60fps clips out at regular speed so if I wanted to slow any of those shots down, I’d slow it to 40% speed. My rule of thumb is: every 4th performance scene, I film in 60fps!

[@skoolzmedia9416]

Thanks bro

[@granvillecupido9971]

Hi there great work i know this is a different video,but i have a nikon coolpix l320 (1080p video quality) I really wanna shoot a night scene but im scared of too much grain in video,i used a light but still a bit grainy and noisy

[@RoyalZProduction]

Hey man! Appreciate the comment and your support as always. Hope all is well! In terms of your question, try your best not to pass around 400-600 ISO. If it's still grainy even with a light at night, try using 'noise reduction' on your clips in your editing platform. Use the light to medium strength of noise reduction otherwise your image will start to look too soft and unnaturally unsharp. Hope this tip helps!

[@kessview]

My number one mentold.......can lumix g9 use 18-35 lens without speed busters?

[@RoyalZProduction]

You'll need a speedbooster so you can attach a Canon EF mount lens to the micro 4/3 sensor on the G9!

[@dialogrey-coker9632]

Yo bro I need help idk why my footage is always blurry when I try to slow it down. Can you help??

[@RoyalZProduction]

Make sure you film your 60fps shots at 1/125 shutter speed. This is VERY important. Once you have successfully filmed a 60fps scene at 1/125 shutter speed, slow the clip down in your editing program to 40% speed. Let me know if that works!

Nice content brother 👌 👏

Thanks bro! Appreciate it!

[@tapansharmamusic]

You said that 35 mm is the best but if you have crop senser camers, experts says that focal lenth changes to x1.5 factor so which focal lenth is best for this type of camera in music videos. Another question is - is canon 55-250 lens is useful in music videos or not ? Because I have getting a fare deal on 55-250 second hand camera, I am getting it at 60 dollars.

[@RoyalZProduction]

If you have a cropped sensor, I would say a 24mm prime if you were to go with a prime lens. The Canon 55-250mm lens is useful for music videos, IMO any lens is useful for music videos just not ideal.. But still useable and useful. At $60, I'd say sure why not but I would seriously consider looking into a 24mm or 35mm prime Canon lens at F/1.4. They're pricey lenses but seriously future proof. I've had my Sigma 35mm F/1.4 (L-mount) for the Lumix S1 for around 3.5 years now and still use it on almost every one of my shoots.

[@tapansharmamusic]

@@RoyalZProduction what is the basic difference between the sigma and prime leses ? Is 24 mm sigma and 24 mm prime are different lenses ? Which one do you suggest ? One 24 mm lens for canon sl3 and 50 mm nifty fifty would be a good combination at beginner level ?

[@tapansharmamusic]

[@RoyalZProduction]

Hey man, so unfortunately there is no way around getting the auto focus on a Lumix S1 to even be slightly useable. It's terrible and I highly suggest either practicing manual focus or selling the camera and going with Sony or Canon
