Thank you so much I really appreciate that a lot! It was a little rough for a couple of weeks but I'm finally feeling a lot better. 🙌🏼 Thank you for watching the video and for reaching out, it truly means a lot. Cheers!

Absolutely! For me personally, I've found that if I can just get the process started it all gets easier from there. You've got this friend! Thanks for watching the video and for reaching out, cheers!

Thank you my friend that means a ton! I'm so glad the videos can help. Absolutely, c-stands can be super handy! For sure, the fans got a little loud when I really pushed the light at 100% and I had it on for a good while before I heard it, but it wasn't too loud and I only noticed it the one time. Overall, these lights are incredible and can do so much at a really great price point, I highly recommend them for sure! 🎥💡 This is such a great question! There is a lot I can say, but one thing to keep in mind is that filming in real rain can sometimes be a little tricky because it can be harder for the camera to detect. Especially if it's light rain. Often times, filmmakers will create fake rain and then over exaggerate it so that the camera can pick it up better, and it also gives them more control on the overall effect in the scene. I love the idea of setting the camera indoors to film through a window looking outside at the character. This will not only ensure that your camera stays dry but will also create a cool composition for your shot, the frame within a frame. Depending on the context of the scene, this could really help to keep the viewers eye on the main point of interest and potentially have a bigger impact on the way the audience perceives the events that are taking place in the scene. This is actually a video idea I've been thinking about making for some time. Let me know if this is a video you would be interested in watching form my channel, because it sounds super fun to make! Of course, these are just my thoughts and opinions, but I hope this helps! I'm looking forward to watching the scene you create! Cheers, friend!

Haha I had a lot of fun with that scene! I had a few different versions of what I was going to say but I ended up choosing that line. I should find a way to share the outtakes haha! Thanks for watching my friend!

@@foxandcrowncreative outtakes are a great idea! Could be really fun shorts too.

Oh for sure, that's a great idea! I might just have to do that. Thanks brother!

Thank you so much that truly means a lot! Absolutely, that's a great suggestion! I actually had the 5D on on my mind for this video idea as well. I use to work with the original 5D and then the 6D after that, so I thought it might be fun to revisit those cameras again for this new video idea. Love it! 🎥 Thank you so much for the suggestion and for watching the video my friend, cheers!

@@foxandcrowncreative my pleasure my friend! 😊🙏

Hey, great question! It's a little tube light made by a company called Ambitful. Here is a link below to where I picked it up on Amazon if you're interested in checking it out. I hope this helps! Thank you for watching the video, cheers! Ambitful A2 Tube Light a.co/d/0faXfqk3

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that a lot. Absolutely I’m happy to help! Freewell has adapter rings for other sizes as well.

Awesome thank you for the suggestion! I think the ZVE10 is a great choice for that video idea. Thanks for watching my friend, cheers!

Thank you so much! I had a ton of fun with this one. For sure, I definitely get a lot of use out of my C-stands. I love how versatile they are, and they can be a huge help when I want to get a creative shot when filming myself. Lots of super fun and creative options for sure! Thank you for watching the video my friend, cheers!

Love that suggestion! Thank you so much my friend, cheers!

Thank you so much I really appreciate that a lot! That's a great suggestion, the ZV-E10 was actually one of the cameras I had in mind. I think it'll be a great camera to use for that video idea! Thank you for watching and for the camera suggestion. Can't wait to make that video! Cheers!

Absolutely! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Woah that's an amazing deal for your c-stands! They're super helpful and fun for getting creative shots like the one in the video, especially when filming solo. Thank you so much for watching the video my friend, cheers!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching my friend, cheers!

Thank you my friend!

Thank you so much I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Absolutely! I used a baby pin to 1/4 20 thread adapter. It came with the Amaran 60X when I bought it, but I think you can find something similar on websites like B&H, or maybe even Amazon. I hope this helps! Thank you for watching the video my friend, cheers!

Haha thank you my friend! This shot was a lot of fun. It’s amazing how much a little 60W light can do. 🎥💡

Hey! I use the Sennheiser MKE 600. Love this mic! I've used many mics in the past, but I've had this one for a few years now and I use it for a lot of my projects, and the majority of the videos on my channel. I hope this is helpful!

Absolutely, so true! It's super fun to be reminded of techniques I haven't used in a while, for me it'll usually spark a new idea. Love it! 🎥 Thank you so much for watching my friend, cheers!

@@foxandcrowncreative yeah the video I am working on know will hopefully workout as more cinematic or a train wreck. Too soon to know. 🙂

That’s awesome! Send me a link when it’s published I’d love to check it out.

Thank you so much my friend, I appreciate that a ton!

For sure great question! I'm going to be honest, this isn't a film I've studied a whole lot, but here are my thoughts. Although Baraka is a non-narrative documentary, the director still takes the viewer on an intentional journey. All of the decisions, techniques, camera choices etc., were intentional for telling the story he wanted to tell, human nature and our impact on the environment. Again, I'm absolutely not an expert on this film, this is just my opinion based off of my take away from the film and interviews I've read with the director. I'd love to hear your take on it as well! Thanks for reaching out and for watching the video my friend, cheers!

@@foxandcrowncreative hmm you make some really good points! It actually brings up a really interesting philosophical question. Is something cinematic because of the story it’s telling? or can something be cinematic without having a story tied to it, for different factors (lighting, composition, color, production design, etc)? I guess it depends how we define cinematic (I guess I’m defining it loosely as something that looks like it could belong in a movie shown at the cinema). I’ve seen some cinematography reels that I’d call “cinematic” that don’t have an overarching story. But then I guess we need to clarify what we mean by story, too. Can a single shot that doesn’t tell a complete “story” be “cinematic”? The philosophical side of me might ponder these things for a while haha. Happy to hear your continued thoughts too, either way

Thank you my friend I really appreciate that a lot! It's been super fun and I'm really happy to see that the videos can help. I'm so glad you enjoyed this video, thank you so much for watching!

Hey, thank you so much for reaching out I really appreciate the feedback! Absolutely, I completely agree. In the video, I mention a few times that there are many elements like composition, lighting, etc., that all work together to create a cinematic experience. I also say that color grading is just one among many elements that make up a cinematic image, but it's not the only element. I did talk about color grading a little bit for context, but I agree that lighting and color grading work together and I could've talked about that more in this video. I will definitely keep that in mind in future videos. Thank you for watching the video and for reaching out, it truly means a lot. Cheers, my friend!

That's awesome! I think that the FX3 is a solid choice for sure. The XLR inputs on the top handle and the cooling fan are a huge plus, especially for a podcast setup. 🎥 Thank you so much for watching, subscribing and for reaching out, it truly means a ton! Cheers, my friend!

Thank you so much that truly means a lot! Cheers, friend!

That's amazing, thank you so much Wendy that means a ton! I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos and that they can help. Cheers, my friend!

Very well said and I couldn't agree more! I love the whole filmmaking process and how we can use each element to tell our stories in a very captivating and visual way. 🎥 Thank you so much for watching and for reaching out my friend, I love talking about things like this. Cheers!

Absolutely, I couldn't have said it better myself! I remember when movies like Jurassic Park came out I I was blown away and would often forget that I was watching a movie at times. When I was a kid I would watch all of the behind the scenes footage after watching the movie (I still do this haha), and of course found that there were many decisions carefully crafted to create a viewing experience that felt real and I absolutely fell in love with that process. I totally agree, it's hard to describe in just a few words. There was so much more I wanted to add in the video. In a nutshell, I believe that through intentional decisions within the cinematography and edit, to provide context and a natural flow that compliment the script and story throughout the entire process can truly create a cinematic experience. For me, these are the tools that we can use to tell our stories in an immersive way. Much like word structure can be used to bring a book to life, or how a brush and canvas can make a paint come to life. I can chat about this forever haha, but I truly loved your take on the word, very well said. Thank you for watching the video and for reaching out, I love talking about things like this. 🎥 Cheers, friend!

Thank you my friend!

Absolutely I'm happy to help! I got the light stand in the video a few years back and I can't remember exactly what brand it is, but I found an Amazon Basics version that looks like it's very similar. It might even be the same stand but I can't seem to find a brand name on mine. Here's a link below. a.co/d/ciRrxZ4 I hope this helps! Thanks for watching the video my friend, cheers!

Absolutely! That would be super fun and I would love to make that video. Thank you so much for reaching out with this video request and for watching the video, it truly means a lot. Cheers!

Thank you my friend! Absolutely, that's a great idea! It would be fun to create a video similar to this one, but only using ambient light. That would be a challenge for sure, but I already have ideas brewing in my head for how I would do it and it would be super fun. Let me know if that is something you might like to see because I would love to make that video! 🎥 Thank you for watching and for all of your encouragement and support, it truly means a ton. Cheers!

Thank you so much! That's awesome, I think you're going to love it! I'm pretty amazed by all the X60 can do. It's definitely my favorite 60W light at the moment. I'm really glad the video could help! Thank you so much for watching and for reaching out, it truly means a lot. Cheers, my friend!
