1. Tripod and little movement 2.Golden rule- shoot dawn and dusk 3. Avoid shopping to fix fundamental errors 4. Use shot lists 5. 3x every shot Much love❤️

[@FlatWaterFilms]

Started out using a tripod for everything, photo and video. Now I hardly use it, shoot almost everything handheld like a tripod user, even milky waterfall shots. Where I like to trek, a tripod would be difficult to carry and use. I'm 70 now. Maybe if I was younger, but just don't see the point as I'm a gun and run type of shooter.

[@FulaanCreative]

Yes some people have steadier hands than others. Mine are not that steady. Might be the coffee : )

[@FlatWaterFilms]

@@FulaanCreative Lot's of sitting on rocks, logs or on the ground. Then again, if I can find something to lean against that helps too.

Hey man, I really admire your videos.... I am just a beginner and buying my first camera. I watched many of your videos and got to know about the differences between various cameras. I am thinking of buying Lumix S5 II or Canon R50..... I am more into shooting Nature cinematic videos. Kindly, give your advice.

[@FulaanCreative]

Thanks! For first camera I'd go with the R50. So much better to learn on.

[@nikovelikov]

I always get excited when you release a new video. I wanted to try a video where I use a b-roll. Matt Diavela's example was right on point.

[@FulaanCreative]

[@plumberski8854]

Excellent! Like your 3 shots tip. Short and to the point. Any reason why 24-200 mm cannot replace the 3 lens for the 3 shots? Recommend that you try Nikon Z8. You will be amazed.

[@FulaanCreative]

Thanks! A zoom lens can replace that but it can also make you lazy. switching lenses or walking closer or further can get the creative juices flowing a little.

[@plumberski8854]

[@AI3Dorinte]

I have to say these are some damn solid tips, appreciate it man! PS: I disagree a little bit with one of your tips, GAS is a plague, but at the same time when I bought my first full frame camera I was simply blown away how much easier my life became. Sometimes it really helps you out as a beginner to get better gear AND to be able to learn more.

[@FulaanCreative]

[@AnandaGarden]

Excellent. Too many Tubers give the impression that camera movements are more important than story. Very, very often a locked-down camera is the very, very best tool to invite the viewer into the story. Thank heaven for pros who know this.

[@FulaanCreative]

Thanks! I'm glad the video was helpful.

[@gordon3988]

Such great tips (!!!), although for #1 I would suggest folks buy a camera with an effective IBIS (eg OM, some Canons, a few Sony’s: lots of cameras have IBIS, but only a few actually work) Always enjoy your videos!

[@FulaanCreative]

Thanks! Yes IBIS helps but handheld can still be challenging.

[@LS-is5ob]

Hey Fulan! I'm a total beginner and honestly don't get a lot of what you're talking about yet, but I love watching your videos! I haven't even decided on my first camera yet (considering the Canon m50 mii, at least this week LOL), but I find your content inspiring, informative and super engaging, so a big thanks!! Is there an online course or some other content you would recommend besides watching all these YT videos, which while wildly entertaining, might not be the easiest to learn step by step for a brand new beginner like myself. Any suggestions most welcome, and thanks again 💖😊

[@FulaanCreative]

Thanks! There are 2 descent courses. I haven't taken them but have heard good things. One is called tomorrows filmmakers and the other channel is called full time filmmaker. You can find links to their course on their channels.

hi nice tips,,, But I just started knowing the basics of videography just few days ago and for a start all I have is my phone at the moment...and I would like to get some recommendations from you and how I kickstart my journey into this .. I am totally a beginner and i will be awaiting your response.. Thanks.

[@FulaanCreative]

Thanks! Just take the tools you have and make stuff with it and see how close you can get to what you want to achieve. Then choose 1 thing you can improve on the next video and keep doing that for a few months. That's the best way to get started.

Canon stopped allowing 3rd party manufacturers to make new lenses for the RF mount. The Lenses I use are EF lenses that I use with an adapter.

[@GV_777YT]

My G! I asked this on another video, so please forgive the scam, but what would you recommend for a camera that can do a bit if videography and street photography? I know there is a lot to it, but any guidance would mean a ton for me!!! ❤🙏🏼

[@FulaanCreative]

Mostly depends on budget. On the lower end I like the Canon R50 and Sony ZVE10. In the Midrange I like the Lumix S5II and the Canon R8.

[@TropangKrungKrung]

and also we need high performance and specs computer setup for video editing : )

[@FulaanCreative]

If your computer is slow you could transcode the footage into a codec that your computer can handle or another option would be to use a cloud based editing software so that the processing takes place on the servers. An example of that would be the cloud version of Capcut which is free by the way.

[@timbonnarens]

Now I’ve got a question I am a beginner and work with the canon m50 and the standard lens 15-45mm. Mostly I film videos so I don’t know If an other lens would work better or if i have to change something in the settings/ way I work…? what would you recommend ?

[@Drunken_Hamster]

I like how your 24p footage looks smooth, unlike others' that look choppy. Do you mind telling me what codec you finalize in, what shutter speed you use, whether you record true 24p or 23.976, and if you match your editing/project settings to that recording rate or not? Also, any other pertinent information in the chain between cam setup and final upload would be useful. I really would like to be able to understand how to prevent choppy crappy 24p footage so I can help others who HAVE footage like that.

[@FulaanCreative]

Thanks! The camera is set at 23.97 and the playback on resolve is set at 23.976. The codec is IPB. I just add my luts and do some basic color grading/correction and export at h.264 and 23.976 resolution 3840x2160 mab kb/s set to 95000.

[@Drunken_Hamster]

@@FulaanCreative Damn, I was hoping H.265 was the answer... Do you think you could look at literally any of the footage from a channel called "Grind Hard Plumbing Co" and tell me why their 24p looks choppy?

[@FulaanCreative]

@@Drunken_Hamster some if it looks normal other parts look a little strange but I'm not sure if it's because you mentioned it or if I would have noticed either way. It reminds me of some footage which I shoot in 60 fps for slow motion but then decide I want to use at normal speed. Or it could be that the shutter speed was off. Not sure exactly.

[@Drunken_Hamster]

@@FulaanCreative See, with the shutter speed argument, I don't get it, because I've come across other channels with choppy 24 like that, and I KNOW they're using the 180-deg BS because they're filmmaker-style channels like yours! It's really driving me up a wall...

[@nicholasjames5471]

@@Drunken_Hamster most certainly because their shutter speed was too slow. I.e, they filmed at 24fps with a shutter of less than 1/48 like 1/20 or 1/30. I can almost promise you that’s why it’s missing frames.
