I think your cinematography is spot on. I think you've identified two areas where you could go to even greater heights - the white balance and lighting (mainly lighting). You did nail the composition, framing, camera movements and the overall look, it is really well done and you and your son should be proud :)

[@AndreasSando]

Wow thank you! Really nice feedback! 👊😃 We are eager to do more. 😊

[@toycamera6112]

Oooh! As a filmmaker, I love hearing about other people's filmmaking journeys! Thanks for the video! Dropping you a like!!

[@AndreasSando]

Thanks for the support mate, I’ll check out your channel as well! 😃👊

[@AndreSjoberg]

Good walkthrough of how it was made :) Personally I though the lighting was really good, understated and now flashy, it created natural looking scenes that didn’t feel lit, which added to the realism of the whole film :) All in all a great little film with a cohesive and engaging story and good pacing all the way through :)

[@AndreasSando]

Thank you Andre for the awesome feedback! Especially glad that you mention that the scenes don’t feel lit, as that was something I really wanted to achieve. 😃👊

[@AndreSjoberg]

@@AndreasSando Mission accomplished then :) The lighting on the subject is just enough in relation to the background to make them separate without feeling «forced» so job well done :)

[@AndreasSando]

@AndreSjoberg 🙏😊

[@NYCIRL]

Great job! Cute kid.

[@AndreasSando]

Thank you! 🙏😊

[@Fusionaire]

Nice picture! What picture profile did you use to film these on your GH5?

[@AndreasSando]

Thank you! 🙏😃 I shot everything in V-Log 10 bit 150Mbps. Forgot to mention that. 🙃

[@Fusionaire]

@@AndreasSando Thanks for the information! I just bought an extremely used GH5 for like $300 with the 25/1.7 lens and buying the vlog for another 100 seems quite considerably high for me at this point. I am trying to work with HLG which seems to work quite nicely too but I just wanted to know if V-logL is worth that extra money.

[@AndreasSando]

@Fusionaire depending on your future plans, if you’re planning on upgrading to a newer camera, I would say that the profiles that comes with the camera is absolutely good enough! I mainly use the natural or standard profile in 8 bit when recording regular videos. It’s only when I shoot short films, or other “important” stuff when I want to have as much DR as possible, that I use log. What are you mainly using your camera for? 🙂
