I find the one with the fake blurry background to be hilariously smart.

[@TheAardvark57]

Jaw literally dropped at the gravity-based dolly control. Can’t believe that works. Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for giving this knowledge to indie filmmakers.

[@DevilUpComedy]

Absolutely brilliant. Who are you?! You've done so much legit work since the 90's.

[@KennyCarter90]

Wow, using a tilted track and gravity as a constant is brilliant!

[@MyLifeJapanTV]

That shallow depth of field tip nearly knocked me out of my chair. I was NOT ready. LOL

[@AdamUPNow]

Great video! It's a reminder of getting it done practically and creative ways to get around the budget.

[@mrkumaran]

I love it, simple and effective, this is what makes filmmaking exciting

[@nic2412world]

These are wonderful! Keep up the great work!

[@aZeddPrattFilm]

Your videos inspire me so much. Please keep them coming.

[@MsMovieinspector]

Please post more of your videos. You have been a real inspiration for me.

[@RemoFiore]

Sir your work is inspirational, I've watched so many of your videos, I cant remember which i've seen and which I haven't, however I have learned so much from your videos, it makes me want to come and meet you personally.... Love your work, absolutely astonishing, all looks like major production stuff, only to disocver that a lot of it is low budget. I particularly like the video about filters and how to use them... Top Class information, you obviously have an unlimited ampunt of experience and I thenk ou for sharing you expertise. Have an amazing day.

[@acamilop]

This is fantastic. I do think that post production often eclipses simple creativity. Thanks for the video!

[@thefrikanih7390]

Amazing. Insanely helpful. Thank you so much for this!

[@marcellechamlee6249]

very helpful as I traverse the sometimes terrifying world of photography:)

[@fareastmanilavideoproducti4499]

oh wow this bring me memories, i was a student at UP fine arts when you were shooting that music vid for Jaya . i just heard we cant enter the art gallery due to a video shoot.

[@krisinsaigon]

Thank you so much for this Me and some friends are looking into filing something wildly over ambitious and beyond our budget and the idea of using miniatures especially to fake a large set we couldn't afford is really inspiring to me, as are all these ideas. We're talking about filming a war movie. I've been studying "Paths Of Glory" to see how Kubrick did it. I think if we have a big ditch we can make it look like a dugout or trench With a clever use of miniatures and lighting I think we could do get some establishing shots that actually look like a battlefield - do you think this is feasible? I think with clever use of the camera and some smoke and lighting we could get away with it I enjoy all your videos, thanks for them

[@butterjeep]

brilliant!!

[@johannes914]

Great tips ...

[@pandabearmonster]

SO GOOD

[@CurtisGabrielMusic]

Genius

[@recipiend5711]

Wouaouuu! Please teach me more

[@Hibiol-of-my-decay]

I thought the same about a blurry background since i dont have a good lens

[@redaizo]

How did you get that slow mo with the snack food with a black magic cinema camera ? (or production)

[@nyazillagojira7079]

Practical is the way to go. YES. It just adds a unconscious reality to it.

[@KonsultanPendidikanTinggi]

cool.

[@AbigailGonzalezbigui1964]

great! imagination over budget!

[@cb3948]

These are great! Very ingenious. But one thing to be pointed out is that most of these examples were done in the 90's. Today's audience is more aware. Especially in locked shots with wipes, it's much more obvious today than it was in the 90's. Because every shot today is moving. But great tips nonetheless.

[@deannuelyrondario7476]

Thank you Matthew Rosen, do you still work in the Philippines? I'd want to learn from you personally someday!

[@NukeDetonator]

How do you do the wipe technique for iMovie on Mac?

[@robrichards1717]

For the Chip ad, the camera with the matte box is a Black Magic Cinema camera or 4K Cinema camera. It has a max of 30fps can you kindly elaborate on the high-speed camera or was this shot just a recreated b-roll shot to explain the shallow depth of field?

[@medrachahi]

genius

[@Roncace]

what camera do you use?

[@lalbihari6663]

how to wipe in post????

[@rafaelmendezgarcia2817]

Does anyone has some lectures to do about all of cinematography? I just start to watch videos on this Chanel and they are amazing but I don't quite follow everything. Sorry for the English by the way, isn't my mother tongue.

[@strobelightproductions5175]

Rafael Mendez Garcia cinecom has a great starting cinematographer KZbin. Look through all his videos.

[@jamesreid7238]

WTF how are you so intuitive

[@patsully2163]

wouldn't it be easier to take a shot and just zoom in on the shot at the same time rather then using a gravitational slide?

[@patsully2163]

Big Fan BTW.

[@MariusMilinski]

you'd lose the parallax movement of the shot, therefore it's a lot less pleasing and definitely looks a lot cheaper

[@Pertti456]

When a camera is moving the perspective is changing. Just cropping with a static camera wont do the same thing

[@beachlove7519]

You not only shot this in the 90's but I think your editing software is stuck in the 90's as well.

[@thetrivium2261]

What does this even mean? The man is extremely talented. You have an interest in this sort of thing, but don't go criticising an old pro until you've actually done it.

[@beachlove7519]

The Trivium I was just making a joke I wasn’t criticizing this mans work as a filmmaker, sorry.

[@thetrivium2261]

@@beachlove7519 Don't worry about it. All I'm saying is keep the humility in check with all things filmmaking related. It's tough as hell.

[@theluxlyfe]

You are too much!

[@Giesela0815]

None of these are "for free" xD

[@cmgvideo]

Why is the word free in the title? These shots aren't free! Not even close.

[@alexbormanbou]

Brilliant
