WHO'S FILMMAKING STYLE IS BEST?

[@mattih]

What is your absolute FAVOURITE style for your films???

[@Stougaard90]

Cinematic!

[@mon17razor72]

Matti Haapoja Like you said depends on the message and the mood I want to deliver! But personally I like the sentimental style, I love to capture the audience with a cinematic story! 😎👊

[@philipkalinda9171]

I love cinematic films! but not mindless cinematic shots but a cinematic film with an interesting story! You can add loads of different moods to them too!

[@giulianogirelli]

my goal, maximum cinematic look with the most run & gun style. if possible :-)

[@TheFeelButton]

Run and gun

[@AlexLancashirePersonalView]

Watch out that you don't break your elbow (Potato Jet)

[@davideastham]

My thoughts exactly !!

[@DeedreCousins]

Alex Lancashire Photography I thought the same thing.

[@MariuszGajdzik]

This is actually super important! I see people doing the same things in different types of video content, which sometimes is so bad it ruins the whole concept! Great video Matti, keep it ip

[@javiermendezphotography6937]

Is shaky-underexposed a style? Cause that's me ( ._.)

[@VioletHenning]

Me too. Hahaha

[@bhookadbanjara]

Can be if you have good sound and a good story!

[@froznfire9531]

no thats false... you have to overexposed and extra saturation in camera style :)

[@gdaym8y]

yeah, that's called raw, real, and moody! lolol

[@ZdenkaDarula]

favourite style of films for me???? hm.... very real so 24 fps but then some highlight little bit cinematic slow mo.. but not too much.. and again very real 24fps... and I was listening well when you said slow paced day... well... I've been on KZbin for 1 year now and being Mom of 2 kids, it is nothings slow.. If you would come here, you would most likely crash in the evening.. my life with family, kids, my full time photography job and another full time youtube is VERY hectic... and VERY fast... awesome video.. lots to think about. Loved it.

[@sarahdippity]

This is great Matti!! I'd call this episode "How to Make a Documentary as a Solo Filmmaker"!!! I love this!

[@kristofferskarsgard8024]

Great video Matti! I've been waiting so long for videos like this! Hope you do more videos like this so that I can make a better documentary for my formula student team this year!

[@yibodong2059]

Love the small comedy part in your video. you have a really good sense of humor.

[@LinusSchneider]

I really like that raw style with loads of ambient sounds - but also music that fits seamlessly in that edit. It accomplishes a very real but enhanced tone.

[@gabemeyers]

Why does one have to be the best? Each one is different and that is what makes each person unique

[@DolisterCovers]

Did Matti just give us a Canadian "Aye?" 😂

[@mattih]

Wait what? 😂

[@DruMUSIC06]

You really do like those 80's themed music.

[@fitfunfamily8841]

I would like to say that i have already found my style, but with just 4 videos behind me and not owning any stabilising equipment I would call it "Raw Handheld" ;-D. I think the idea for your new series is just great. Me and my wife are self since about a year now full time content creator (Blog, Instagram, hopefully soon YT) and know self how much work is behind all this and how stressful this life can be. We often get comments like "so you can really live from taking a few selfies!?". I think its really good that people start to understand thats a work like all others. Yes we mostly love what we are doing, but it don't mean that it's not also hard work. Really cool that you can show there a bit behind the scenes. So enough said :) Nice greetings from Finland Dom

[@JonathanThompsonStoryteller]

Really interested to see this series. It's going to really help me with some docs I'm about to step into.

[@othentikgym974]

This is awesome, we are starting our first document series! thank you for sharing this Matti!

[@TheDanich78]

Thanks Matti !

[@maxschaffner]

Its like surfing!

[@PeterLindgren1]

Great points made for sure! Thanks for sharing some BTS footage too.

[@tommymillett1675]

Matti and Peter are riding the move out story until the wheels fall off. Hopefully everything is all good between both these excellent creators.

[@CoalitionGaming]

I think a really good video would be comparing the usage and footage of using an EasyRig vs using a Body Mounted Steadycam like the Flycam Galaxy. What do you think?

[@CooperLandingFishingGuide]

I am really getting into the infotainment genre... working on a short film now :) Seriously a big thank you man for all of your inspiration in the genre!

[@mattih]

Thanks man 🙌🏻 best of luck with the film

[@CooperLandingFishingGuide]

@@mattih Huge thanks! That really means a lot! :)

[@CooperLandingFishingGuide]

@@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker I sure am :) on Trout Spey of course lol

[@RudyVisuals]

Sup Matti! For those shots you do like at 0:19 do you literally leave your camera out on the floor? Is someone around looking out for it? I couldn't do this in London. It'd get stolen in a blink of an eye

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Good tips!

[@teopictures3750]

What style would recommend for making music videos?

[@philipkalinda9171]

Awesome Video Matti! Definitely picked up a few tips i'll try out too! 😊

[@chrisnigul]

Matti, when should one choose to go with a slo-mo and when with a "regular speed" of things, i.e. travel videos?

[@JyrkiS]

"Creativity is contagious"

[@drewcollins331]

I love those headphones you were shooting with!!

[@PrzemekG]

How You setting Your white balance Matt ? Using auto white balance ( white priority) when outside ? Or You are using grey card for all shots? Thanks, all best from Wales 🎬

[@saligraphy]

Simple is usually the best direction

[@Ben-fq1lj]

I tend to like to shoot all in-camera colors on my Sony like Devin Supertramp and Parker Walbeck do. I like using a minimal diffusion filter on my camera to get rid of that nasty digital look while giving vibrant colors without loss of contrast.

[@DeonMitchel]

20 minutes is cool. I'll still watch it.

[@shotsbykaiel]

Gimbal detailed shots, slow mo, on a 28*75 tamron with my Sony a7iii :) I've been challenging myself thought to use 30 fps in my wedding films and I'm really liking it! Super excited to see your doc!

[@LTWeaverPJook]

So how are you going to keep up after he left?

[@locxucreator]

Great video ! Btw, have you ever tested the a7iii with Atomos Ninja V ? As my current problem is when you call Memory by change dial to 1/2, if record with Ninja V, the auto focus ( wide/ zone) not working at all with all record setting , included full HD 24p or 60p ? The auto focus is totally fine with Ninja V if change dial to Video mode.

[@77jairomorales]

Always great advice from Matti! I

[@mattih]

🙏🏻

[@BetaHaedar]

Yesss podcast

[@waynosfotos]

Hey Matti, are you filming on the "R" and using the 35mm RF mount? Cheers

[@Mondrubberduck]

Matti, it´s all about the backfoot with the waveboard. Try not to wiggle the whole lower boddy, but mostly the backfoot.

[@ip4952]

Hey I love your videos!!! Live in Canada too!!

[@mattih]

😊 nice!

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Really excited to see that series, love the choices you made to shoot it!

[@christiantheroux6385]

I'm good with 20 minutes!!! And thanks again for all that learning!!! And did I hear an "Eh!" at the end of one of your sentences??? Spoken like a true Canadian!! HAHAHAHA!!!

[@mattih]

Never! 😊

[@AdamRifi]

Is bad a style? Cuz that's mine :c

[@luissantiago93_]

Good topic to discuss Matti. Thank you for this 👍

[@danikhelh]

Thanks matti for always inspiring me

[@AllThingsFilm1]

"...use the style that best tells your story", pretty much says it all. I think too many film makers try too hard to be stylistic and detract from their story in the process. There seems to be a mistaken perception that handheld shots are inherently "cinematic". They're not. If you want the actor's performance to come through in an emotional scene, don't let the camera bounce all over the place. As a matter of fact, keep it as stable and smooth as possible in such scenes. Handheld shots should be used sparingly.

[@BrianMello]

Can't wait to check out the documentary! Keep it up!

[@666Indre]

Great video!

[@medifreeman2998]

Thank you very much for the video !

Excited about the doc

[@mattih]

Me toooo. It’s my fav thing I’ve made in a while.

[@JohnLuna]

@@mattih 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@Upstreamtruth]

You should make videos for Passion conferences.

[@DeanGaddi]

I find it interesting that KZbinrs ask their audience say “if a 20 minute video is too long”. Not even in the slightest. I have nothing but respect for it. Hope to see your doc soon.

[@kunaljha2752]

Ya thats rit finally some meaningfull content from your side bravo matti...

[@eukaryote-prime]

It the style to your work your exposed knees?

[@TJolley]

That's amazing ! I can't wait to see it ! I want to film a documentary, its on my bucket list . 👌🏿

[@mattih]

Yeaaa I wanna make more!

[@phat56pat]

Make the docs long

[@CaseyGray58]

Your music makes me wanna eat acid and go back in time to an 80s arcade. Love it

[@AIPTutorials]

Hey Matti, do you listen to Film Riots podcast at all? I just listened to an episode featuring Lucas Harger talking about making docs. It was really informative. He really delved into editing docs. If you haven't, you should check that episode out, it was so good. Plus, I don't know if you know already, but they gave you a shout out in their "Best KZbin Channels For Filmmakers" video!

[@fusedsteva]

I hope this didn't end as Potato's video :)

[@marlonmoises6598]

On 9:50 you left the screen towards the left and appeared from the right on the next shot. Although I know that based on the plant of the office that is correct, it gave me kind of a wrong ish vibe, maybe leaving to the right would give a smoother transition idk it's just my opinion. Great video btw!

[@abdallahamalki9272]

Good Work

[@mattih]

🙌🏻

[@joshmcdill]

Nice video man, thanks!

[@CheeseOnEverything]

Cant wait to see this doc!

Very helpful as always ;)

[@Nahmdee_]

Your recent videos have been super helpful. They’re packed with information but not to the point where it isn’t digestible. Keep it up!

[@davidmaxwell1119]

Are any episodes of the matti and pete show available?

[@ArthurKeutgen]

Nah man 20 minutes is fine, look at Peter for his two minutes tuesday ahah

[@thegeldenhuys6159]

Can't wait for the doc on Jesse, love your work Matti!

[@anjamoerk]

Matti, not sure if you‘ll read this comment, but you seem to have some issues with the audio. Seems a bit overamplified (hope this is the right word) to me (working on the radio, so I might be focused on audio a lot). Especially when you‘re talking to the camera at the desk in the second half. Otherwise another great video - thank you Matti! 😊🙏🏼

[@marieovergaard4189]

Watch out on the boards, did you see poor Potato Jet?

[@VioletHenning]

Shame i felt so sorry for him but he was sooooo calm. I would have freaked out.

[@mattih]

Yessss ouchhhhh

[@hanjew2015]

Do you believe that there is a more “popular” style that will get more jobs? Also where did you get that zipper T-shirt? Imma need to cope a pair

[@anthonymelendez2605]

I’m not the most talented when it comes to how to style a film but the golden rule for all films should be to start with getting accurate colors with whatever color space you chose because from there you have a solid starting point.

[@KHARELASHISH]

Wow!

[@thierrybeaulieu4403]

@Matti This could be suprising, but 20-30-50 minutes documentary feels real. Otherwise, it feels... not true enought

[@ryanpesecky]

Great to hear you sharing your process on this. Doc looks like it's going to look really good! I like your choice on no slow motion and keeping it real. Reminds me of Jonah Hills mid 90s where he kept it so real and true to the story.

[@drewcollins331]

I had no idea the pod was out. Added it to my list!

Nice podcast.

If you would have chosen that girl for your editor you would've be keeping up with Peter .. Some things you cant take back.

[@snwmrt6428]

Please answer. I have the EOS R and the Rode Video Mic Pro+ but the preamp inside the canon is horrible. What is your audio level both in camera and in mic? Do you bring down the audio level all the way down to 1 in camera and put the mic on +20DB?

[@camerashakeproductions9098]

Careful on that board.. or at least don't take lessons from Potato Jet. < too soon? >

[@mattih]

Haha too soon indeed
