FYI I love all the KZbinrs and have learned a lot from them :) What was your favourite tip?! :)

[@johnnyinterval]

My advice, is don't poke the pirate… could hurt us from seeing your great content! Hate to see ya “disappear”!!

[@johnnyinterval]

@Emotion Air ya know man. When ya take on the bigger KZbin folks. It’s happened man. One day they just stop showing up in your feed. Like Epic Light, I have to seek out there channel. Even tho I’m subbed and bell, still, they don’t show up. I’m now threatening, the opposite. I dig the channel. I’d hate to see it go away.

[@Leprutz]

Yeah Peter Mckinnons advices are the worst I've seen so far. Plus in everyvideo he features a lousy, so called "Epic Buttery Smooth Cinematic" coffee-making video.

Another videographer told me you don't need to get every shot to look amazing and cinematic sometimes is important to just actually get the shot

[@SamHolland]

Any shot is better than no shot! 👌🏻

[@AtomicPixel]

Exactly my thoughts for my wedding films!

[@MarioSNES89]

Amen! #CaseyNeistat

[@Leprutz]

Cinematic means: Tell a story in moving pictures. Full Stop. All the rest is creative choices. You can very well make a whole feature film with a toy camcorder mickey mouse edition and it can still be trhilling if the story you are telling is worth it and well told.

[@Leprutz]

@@MarioSNES89 To youtube standards the least cinematic guy on youtube. To real pros and true artists standards of filmmaking, the most cinematic guy on youtube.

[@arnisbrown5848]

Watch the film 'Roma' - nearly every shot is stopped down with a wide depth of field. Watch the film 'Some Kind of Heaven' - nearly every shot is static/on sticks with no camera movement. They're both incredible works of photography that go against this idea of 'cinematic'. Context and motivation in service of the narrative / purpose of the work is everything!

[@Leprutz]

At least someone who understands- I have always been fighting with all these young successful youtubers on how they use their wording. It is just saddening to me.

[@JeremyHalterman]

Thank you! It’s so important to actually consider how much depth of field is appropriate for the shot rather than assuming _more blur = more pro._ I shoot on MFT and virtually never go below f/2 even at wide angles. I’ll never understand why, for example, a vlogger would travel to a beautiful, exotic location just to blur out everything but their face-often including their own ears 😂

[@SamHolland]

Haha their own ears! Precisely. Thanks for watching 🤩🙏🏻🎥

[@empressdoinalot]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Leprutz]

O all greatest movies in cinema history up until now, have over 60% of their runtime shot in deep focus. The rest features just a half with very little out of focus background, almost everything still recognizable, and under 20% of all their shots actually feature reak Bokeh shallow depth of field.

Took me a while to realize that it’s the dynamic range and color that makes the shot (and of course the proper focal lengths) and not the blurry backgrounds.

[@zillaman0916]

That PM impression was spot on 😆

[@cedricavi4514]

The worst is we got some youtubers selling cinematography classes (while never setting foot on a film set) and in one of his videos he did not even know why sony released an 18mm...i guest the guy never heard of Terence Malick lol...i just feel sad for people who bought his courses! I think its just overhype marketing / salesguy these days....if you listen to these folks every 2 months you will be changing GEAR and Brand haha...

😂 haha thank you. I’m pleased you enjoyed it. Yeh I agree. When people copy, it takes away the magic. Thanks for watching 🎥🙏🏻

[@SinagMartine]

Great video. Unfortunately, for those who cant afford cameras with dual iso (yet) and are always shooting at night (weddings, debut, promenades and such) using the lowest aperture is always a lifesaver! Its like what you said, you just have to experiment with the focal length and have the subject go further away from the camera to reduce the blur of the foreground and background. In my case, i use 24mm, 35mm, and even 50mm and just make the subject go further to reduce the blur. This is what majority of KZbinrs arent sharing thats why hats off you man. Great job!

[@SamHolland]

Thank you 🤩🙏🏻🎥

[@ak_hoops]

Greatly appreciate this honestly! I am very guilty of keeping my camera wide open. Will definitely keep this in mind.

[@whatwelearned]

Photography is the DRAWING of LIGHT. Lighting doesn't get enough of a push because it doesn't move camera units

[@eduardosanchezdiaz4972]

The shots help a lot to enhance the quality of the video, but the way you tell the story is more important. Thanks for the advice!

[@ChrisIzattOfficial]

Great video, great use of humour & skits! There's a lot of tropes about how to get great footage, but as you say context is the most important reference! There's a lot of videos explaining aperture & expoure control, and comparing depth & separation; this is a really concise explanation and your examples definitely add a lot of context! Great stuff!

[@SamHolland]

Hey chris. Thank you. I’m pleased you enjoyed it 🤩🙏🏻🎥

[@LFFRspl]

🔥🔥🔥 thanks! Love your videos!

[@EBrown-cr1gr]

my photography has improved the more I pulled away from youtubers. cinematic gets confused and equated with slow motion and shallow depth of field so much that a lot of new young photographers do it without understanding the how and why to composing shots for THEIR vision. Ironically, they lose their vision for the sake of shooting like their favorite youtuber, and mimicry is not creativity. Picked up a lot of tips from you but at the end of the day, just get out there and shoot and find YOUR voice.

[@SamHolland]

Totally! 👌🏻🎥

@@SamHolland Thanks for sharing your lunch with us, so to say :D

[@coreymullins]

I remember reading a while back from someone that analyzed a lot of modern and old films and did a lot of research into the gear they used - they found the average T-Stop was something like T4.5, because it keeps the character separated from the background while retaining their actual position and location in the frame, as well as lets the audience in on the set design and the hints it can provide. F1.8 and such does look nice, but in the instance of 2:08 for instance, I much prefer f22 or something close to it as the "cinematic" look - because it's a beautiful location and there's no reason to hide that, just as you said!

[@SamHolland]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@jessecumberledge4530]

Ya and that's a 4.5 on a super 35 sensor I believe. So closer to a 6.3-7on FF

[@Leprutz]

Well most of the movies have an average runtime of 100 minutes. In these 100 minutes almost 60% ist in deep focus. Almost 25% have that T4.5 stop cause of seperation like you said. And almost 15% only of the whole 100 miutes actually use that incredible so beloved youtube bokeh. That is fact. So blurry background my ass. My best movie up to date in my opinion is still the one I made in 2011. Everything is in deep focus and alsmost everything was shot on tripod with no movement what so ever.

Great info here. I have to boldly convince some people that you don’t always need an ND outside. Some people use ND like a religion. I mean Geesh, just stop down and it is fine sometimes. It is not all about shooting wide open. F12 or even F18 is not going to ruin your image.

If you nail exposure, framing, composition and focal to tell the story and make the viewer feel something, aperture almost doesn't really matter. I have all 2.8 lenses, but find myself shooting f5.6-f8 most of the time.

[@127bradfordroad]

Hi Sam, good points, well made. Once you've exposed correctly and got everything you need in focus, that's a great start. You touch upon raising the ISO to balance the smaller apertures - particularly easy with Sony cameras. I'd also add that a lot of KZbinrs promote handheld footage, slow-motion and don't use gimbals. They also colour grade to make it look like it was produced for a Danish Noir documentary, which always leaves me wondering why they bothered to expose correctly in the first place. In my experience of corporate/site videos (boring, but pays the bills), the chances of using slow-motion (no gimbal) = limited to nil. If it's colour graded in a dark, moody fashion so you can't see anything, then you'd get it straight back again 'to put right'. Don't get me wrong, I love the PM's, Potato Jets et al of this world, but you have to shoot each job on its own merits, as most of my clients prefer a simple story, cleanly told. It doesn't always pay to over-complicate things - most clients want to be able to see their product clearly and don't really care about DOF, even if we do.

[@SamHolland]

You’re so right!!!! Grading to suit the project is more important… until you get asked to make your own film 👌🏻🎥🤩 thanks for watching and commenting

[@TimesWithJames]

I shoot lots of corporate stuff for bathroom clients and rarely use a gimbal. Always interesting to hear other people’s work flow and perspectives! Also I’m looking for a remote editor…so if you guys know anyone! 😂😂😂

[@professionalpotato4764]

Great tip. There needs to be sufficient depth to tell a story. I've seen a couple of dramas shot at crazy shallow DoF, they might as well be shot entirely in studio on a green screen with a Zoom background. There's more to "cinematic-ness" including audio, set design, wardrobe, etc. One other huge mistake I see is shooting 24/25p. Unless one has control over the viewer's playback device, 30p is always going to be better. Conversion from 24->30p when uploading to every single social media creates so much jerkiness. I QC and prepare materials for broadcast/streaming in 30p. Countless Nat Geo docs look like crap due to the jitter after framerate conversions. Doesn't matter that most of them are shot on REDs/ARRI/Venice. For online publishing, always edit in shoot and edit in 30p. For local broadcasts, pick whichever is the region's framerate.

[@foljs5858]

"Conversion from 24->30p when uploading to every single social media creates so much jerkiness" you don't need to covert to 30p to post on social media, and most of their players will just play it as you uploaded it (same frate rate I mean, they're usually recompress it more).

[@professionalpotato4764]
