Getting the Hollywood look in 3 mins

[@RegauFlowers]

Zack, you guys are crushing it! Update: Got COVID after your class and then I got Long Covid. Almost fully recovered and back on track. Thanks for all of the help!!!

[@haruto9191]

At this point bro is just flexing on us like i have the skills and a girl 💪

[@ZachRamelan]

Hahaha

[@playmotion.trailer]

well, he does.

[@OBALEHVIEW]

lol..,

[@bwtbphotography]

And a 800 dollar tripod

[@anthonytuggle5881]

Exact video I was looking for. No B's right to the point and simple one person setup ❤

[@skylerlasater]

The Audio was great and well designed for the short. If I walked in a room and saw this on a TV I would have assumed it was a big budget feature on a top tier production companies streaming platform. Great job. 👏 Camera movement, focal point, lighting, and editing were all stellar. I Subscribed and can’t wait to see more to come. 👍🏻

[@ZachRamelan]

Thank you! So glad the style came through! This really pumped me up and we can't wait to cook up another short!

[@TheRecordist]

Well done! I'm interested in how you coloured this.

[@ZachRamelan]

It's a orange and teal lut with the contrast cranked to 11

[@TheRecordist]

@ very nice. Thanks! Which lut did you use? Cheers!

[@Niklondon]

Great job, would also like to know the lut and if you shot in Slog3, cheers

[@d3take1]

I must go and try all of this !!!! This looks really fun to create

[@mrjasongrant7]

First, great job on everything!!!!! Thank you for the tutorial and showing that sometimes "little is big". I look forward to seeing more of your work!!! God Bless.

[@jonathanlennard2472]

I love your use of shadows…there’s real dimension to most of these shots

[@ZachRamelan]

Thank you! Been loving the shadowy cinematography

[@nextl3v3l99]

You can achieve the ‘Hollywood look’ without a Hollywood budget. It’s not about the camera-even an iPhone can deliver great results. What truly matters is what you put in front of the lens: the talent, set design, costumes, and location. That’s the real formula for creating a professional, cinematic feel.

[@aquacitydigital3316]

Awesome video. And awesome shooting techniques! 👍

[@nicoquijano1746]

Great video. Great techniques and thanks for sharing. Really appreciated it.

[@caleldonini]

It's crazy how simple it is to make a shot look this good 😭

[@SmooveLeek]

I came across your channel and just want to let you know its soooo dope bro. Im locked in

[@RTMedia24]

Love this, i also love how there is one crew and one cast and such an incredible film. Do you think i can do this with my FX6 and my iphone 15 pro max? or something like this? Thanks for the content man i love it

[@ZachRamelan]

Absolutely. Both of those cameras are insane and would 100% crush

[@RTMedia24]

Thanks man. Ill try something for sure

[@omarabu2562]

Amazing work!

[@soyhatscreative]

This is so good!

[@jackiehale3730]

I love this.. The grade is beautiful..

[@ZachRamelan]

Thank you! It's a LUT with the contrast cranked.

[@nexgenfilms5727]

Beautiful work. So you shot in log and used the lut afterwards in post. Did you use the lut as a monitor as well. I have the zcam f6 and want to practice as well for an upcoming feature. What lut did you use. Looks like a blue teal with the contrast cranked up like you said. Once again beautiful work.

[@cemkar8782]

Really amazing work for low budget. i love your work

[@ZachRamelan]

Thank you so much!

[@RPGBURN]

I want to try this! Great job.

[@ZachRamelan]

YES DO IT!

[@Tanishq_here_]

The film turned out to be too good honestly

[@Julian-Edward]

Super curious about your experience with the pan/tilt/tracking! On my end, from a still frame, when trying to smoothly track a subject diagonally, I have the slightest lag where is feels like the pan and tilt have to start one at a time, before I get a clean diagonal motion.

[@ZachRamelan]

interesting point, I've learned to anticipate the motion before it happens. Usually, it takes two shots before we nail it.

[@thisiseric]

I do the tirpod dolly trick all the time with my monopod!

[@ZachRamelan]

Right, it's such a banger and totally under used

[@theresemarkham9387]

Such an interesting video!

[@ZachRamelan]

Thank you!

[@theresemarkham9387]

Your Welcome

[@fairildesa]

So dope 🔥🔥

[@ZachRamelan]

You're so dope 🔥🔥🔥

[@chrisjohnsonfilms]

Do you use any diffusion filters or post diffusion?

[@Charlie_lives]

I Don't think anyone likes those movies 😵 lol good job guy's!!

[@Victor-Rojas]

I thought the same thing. Two of the most impactful movies ever made. Grounds for a break up lol.

[@stevenkralovec]

I had the same reaction -> 😵 my jaw dropped hahaha

[@Fubu12s]

That’s what I feel when I see youn😂😭 crazy work

[@shannonbell7052]

How did you get your footage to not have the soap opera, SOOC, live tv look? I haven’t been able to figure out how to do this

[@McarthurBeard]

Nice. What focal length was you using

[@ChristianMcNally-n2y]

lol, finger in the trigger guard AND both thumbs behind the slide is killing me

[@ZachRamelan]

haha, it killed me too.

[@ZachRamelan]

But her acting sells even the worst gun holding lol

[@thejeffbosley]

Yeah. :(

[@itsdaddysboys]

Did you capture all of the audio with the fx3 top handle?

[@joshuao9073]

It's not the camera, or the lens, or the lighting, or the sound design, or even the color grade, that makes this cinematic. It comes down to one thing. Camera movement. So many times amateur short films look amateur because every single shot is just a static tripod shot at eye level and it looks boring. What you were able to do here proves it. The over the shoulder shot of the note made it seem like we were watching a 20 million dollar film.

[@andreworton576]

i was shocked someone put a stephen the levite song on the video! Good choice!

[@braxtonwoullard1188]

Dope!🔥🔥🔥

[@ZachRamelan]

Thanks! 🔥🔥🔥

[@MrBandBBoy]

Nice!

[@ZachRamelan]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

[@thejeffbosley]

Truly amazing. Thanks for all the time you put into this. But please Google ‘trigger discipline’ before using weapons in film. You wouldn’t let a doctor in a film hold a scalpel wrong/ by the blade, don’t do it with a gun either. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@PeterDiBussolo]

Great stuff

[@ZachRamelan]

Thank you!

[@theshammy00]

the way my eyes shot open when you said “big booty” 😳 i didn’t realize you two were together 😂

[@ZachRamelan]

Bhhahahahaha J and I laughed so hard at this lol

[@Nile-f1s]

What’s the lights name?

[@ZachRamelan]

C100 from Zhyiun

[@marvingproductions]

If this is possible why does the industry go all out and spend tons of money? Wouldn’t it be better to go small crew and light set up? Someone please explain

[@jacquelinedsantos]

Only 4 comments? Let’s make it four!!

[@gilpvfin868]

Great video! Your girlfriend hasn't watched Shawshank Redemption???? And then she said that people don't like those old movies??? Blasphemous!!! 😂

[@_Corbs_]

only three comments? Let's make it three!

[@notaduck--73]

only one comment? let's make it two!

[@adefavouranu857]

😮

[@EFM_Max_Production]

The picture itself is good, but I didn't like the sound at all, this is what you still need to work

[@Lilyanddrew1]

This is basically LongLegs movie

[@ZachRamelan]

I think every movie I make moving forward will somehow be inspired by longlegs lol

[@Lilyanddrew1]

@@ZachRamelan That's very fair

[@ginofactap]

so uhm... where's the "hollywood look" explanation? color grading, lighting, etc?

[@shinzychan5117]

Don’t insult Hollywood like this, stop using clickbait BS
