I love these videos. Who needs Film school when you have Simon Cade?
+ceedotceeTV Filmschool is 50% networking and establishing contacts. Once you graduate that'll become the most valuable of all if you plan on pursuing a career in film.
+QDR Quality you're correct about that one
+ceedotceeTV *correction.... "who needs school when you have the internet"
seriously !!!
+QDR Quality
In the age of internet and TH-cam, that's unnecessary and often involves becoming a sellout. College is absurdly expensive and schooling is so restrictive that, for people like myself, it only got in the way and threatened to destroy my creation process. I don't give any fucks about the carrot on the stick of networking. It's not worth giving up all my creations for what they are, as that's the whole reason I even make anything. And networking is usually code for extrinsic motivation anyway. People being fake as fuck and not actually caring about each other in community or in projects.
It's getting really old hearing the stories that you should go in a traditional system for the fact that everyone else is there and doing it. Seems like a circle jerk and too many people aren't buying it. And they don't need to.
we don't thank you enough, but know that your videos and the effort you put into them is highly appreciated :)
I'll be honest, I've kinda lost my mojo since school started. Everything is about deadlines now that I feel like I'm compromising my artistic integrity over something as petty as a letter. For weeks I've felt like I lost my love for filmography but sir, watching your videos has been a big help. Your passion for this art is truly remarkable and ever so beautiful. Not too mention that the advice you give are pretty darn good. I hope that one day I, too, have that same sparkle in your eye every time I talk about filming and videos. Cheers!
This has been so useful, sound is definitely undervalued in pretty much every stage of amateur filmmaking!
When people are first starting out it's so easy to neglect audio, I've only recently discovered the capabilities of sound and the production value it brings to a film. Even the most subtle sound effects can dramatically enhance the audiences experience. great work as always bro
+Jacob Crow-Mains exactly. cheers man!
Your videos are REALLY good.
+Paulo Nideck thanks Paulo:)
+Paulo Nideck AGREED!!
I have been off from making amateur films for a year or so. I started originally when I was around 10. Your videos have inspired me to get back on track and keep making what I believe in. Pretty impressive, and as I can relate to you, I can only hope that "real life" does not shatter your filmmaking habits when you grow a bit older just like it did with mine. Will keep watching.
I have doing this for awhile and audio still gets me. It's like we're sworn enemies
I've decided literally today that I want to start making films... I've learned so many things from just watching a few of your videos. I was going to save up for a nice camera, but this channel has taught me to focus on the sound and lighting more than the camera itself, so thank you for that! Thank you for this channel :)
omg I LOVE the way you just instantly start the video I was expecting a 10 min intro before acc getting into it, THANK YOU
I was just downstairs thinking about how I need to focus more on my audio production, and then I saw this. Thanks a lot man, keep it up!
I've been making movies for years and just started paying more attention to the audio to be more professional , been thinking of getting an audio recorder. Thanks for the tips.
The quality is on point. I can't believe your using a 600d
+Christian K *You're* Sorry it had to be done, we need to educate the public.
+Christian K It's not the kit lens :P
+Christian K True, except for the distortions in the background (the acoustic foam) that may come from the compression of the video made by the camera (or by the compression added by TH-cam, or by a combinaison of both).
+Christian K As he told us in a previous video, it's not about the camera or the lens, it's about lighting. But it takes much more work to get a nice result. Am I wrong +DSLRguide ?
+PoisonFilmmaking I know
Thanks Simon!! You and Film Riot have taught me so much!
Great info! I love the fact that you go back and examine big budget movies; this is something that everyone should do.
I dont even like film making i just subcibed becasue of his passion.
Khadeem Wilson yes Simon cade is so passionate about filmmaking... and his videos are so inspiring. keep up the good work, DSLRguide
Well done Simon, excellent work as ever. Keep up the good work buddy.
Love the new look. Great job!
One of my favourite videos you've ever made, really good help, keep it up!
I found the final tip the most useful. Watching movies with & without sound and writing notes on what sound we expected to hear vs. what we actually heard.
Really great tip. As a beginner I was wondering if I needed to even bother with a slate... but you just showed me the error of my ways. One of the reasons I really love this channel and none of your videos are ever really dated.
4:17 Tips 5, such a great idea for learning.
It absolutely baffles me how young you are and how rich your content is. You're not speaking generally about things you somewhere. Rather it sounds like you speak with experience. Very impressed. Really helpful content. Not to mention the small subtle tactful things you add to your videos.
when i finish to watch every one of your video, i must click the like button, I don't choose, it comes naturally!!!
Can you do a tutorial on how you color grade/correct your video's? I really dig the color tones you always have! Do you use any other camera profiles other then flat settings?
Thank You!
+BadHumorTV I'm planning to do this video in the next month or so :)
+DSLRguide Thanks man!
That's a lot of useful knowledge compressed into a short and well-made video. Thanks for making this! Watching a film without sound to note down what you expect to hear is a great idea!
4:47 Glad that you showed Wall-E. There is a two or three part video of all the foley and sound design work for Wall-E on TH-cam and is impressive. A masterclass in sound.
+Enrique Godínez yeah, Ben Burtt is a bit of a hero
DSLRguide
I know!
One of the most informative and useful guides I've found.
+Mateusz Kubala thanks Mateusz!
+DSLRguide What's one of your favorite films?? you didn't say haha
agree
agree
Mateusz Kubala true he is extremely helpful
Great videos. I'm not even finished watching my second one, and already I've gotten a few very valuable pieces of info. I've done audio recording for many years, and I've worked on a few short films. I thought I had a fairly good grasp on what I needed to know to script, record, and edit my drama podcast, but you've helped me avoid a couple of potentially time-consuming mistakes. Thanks, man! I really appreciate it.
Extremely interesting and helpful. Your work is amazing !
bro, watching your videos has made me fall in love with film making, who needs school if we can learn straight from you. Thanks bro.
Great tips! Thank you Simon.
Wow great thoughts! My favorite episode!
ur gonno be one of the best directors!!!/mark my words!!
Inreally like these vids you make they are really helpful, in fact during my free time i.ve started to try out some of the tips in order to improve my filmography skills
This was so helpful. Love your videos man!
Simon, your filmmaking tips just go from strength to strength. I really enjoyed this one. You summed up exactly what I think about sound and I haven't been slating but you certainly presented a good argument for doing so.
+Anna Ferguson glad you liked the video :)
Thank you Simon for creating such interesting and informative videos.
Good stuff man!!! Audio is king!!!
Ansel Rodriguez it really is
Amazing inputs can’t wait to add some great audio to my productions
amazing sound tutorial ,the best!!!
thank you for the time and effort ,you put into your videos
Im always learning something here... great job
really great video! love the exercise to think of which sounds to Foley and what you might miss.
to add on to getting sound for a wide shot, there's a trick I learned that if your lighting is controlled or consistent, in your wide shot, go ahead and use your boom, set it up to get the best audio, as long as your content/talent isn't behind/in front of it. then shoot a blank video slate of the scene so that in post, you simply cover up the boom with the actual scene! works great for interviews!
+Chris Luong thanks Chris, it's a fun one to try.
that's very true - in the right conditions that's a great trick to remember.
I found your videos very helpful and passionate. Thank you for your time and effort.
Very, very well done man! :) Super smooth
Great video man. Really great info.
Wow, just wow! So useful tipps! Thank you!
Awesome video and tips. You are very well educated on film making.
Great tutorials Simon!
Thank you for this. Very informative as I am just starting out and it has given a lot of things to think about.
Great advice, I'm getting into film making and your channel is helping me out a ton!
Divineshot 314 same here
This is the best video ive seen for audio thanks
Dude im a big fan of your work
Your videos are amazing man
My fav are the RED Pink Ladies, if you don't eat said apples, try them ;)
+OCUBOX always. I used to be into granny smith apples, but they're nothing compared to the sweet & crunchy 'pink lady' apples ha.
+DSLRguide
i'm still a Granny Smith person.
+DSLRguide Fuji apples, all the way. ;)
+OCUBOX One thing is for sure...We all eat Newton Apples...That's were sound comes from...!
+Bruce A. Ulrich Agreed!
These tips really seems professional GREAT JOB!
Very well done! Thank you for posting this.
+Shiznaft you're very welcome!
Awesome content sir!
really good stuff , thanks for sharing info
You are really passionate about what you do, really awesome video.
great quality work bro
Hey Simon!
I been watching your channel for about 6 months now, Just wanted to drop you a line and say how much I appreciate your videos. I'd be lying if I said you're the only inspiration, but your channel is one of the main reasons I've decided to start my own channel and give it my best shot at making films in the near future!
I also wanted to say, your quality of videos over the last month has HUGELY increased. Not that they weren't great before, but now they are amazingly well thought out and looking (And Sounding) pretty damn professional.
Keep up the great work, you're going places!
-Houston
+houston paquette this is really encouraging to hear, thanks man! all the best with your films!
Simon, thank you so much for these videos. I always learn quite a bit from them. :)
+Peekachoo you're welcome!
Dude that was very interesting and cool. Thanks!
So true. Audio in movies is so important! For instance, I watched Pirates of the caribbean for the first time not too long ago, The movie it's self didn't capture me overly but I have been listening to the music all the time since. Even though I am unlikely to watch the movie again.
I love your video's so much
Trip #3! Awesome!
That ending was great whoa.
great video as usual!
Hello. Thank you for sharing it. I´m interested in learning more .. I would like to ask you if you could make tutorials about how to use the apps or programs to edit... That would be amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im subscribed to your channel its really good thank you by the way you have audience in Mexico and California as well ... BRAVO
Nice video as always Simon!
+PaulReviews thanks Paul!
you are fab buddy! awesome!
That intro omg yes
You have inspired me to get a camera and lighting to begin with. Your content is so creative!
It's really helpfull. I know how to shoot pictures. Sadly i dont know sh*t about filming.
hey simon. I'm trying to start my own filmmaking channel. Definately will model it after you. Thanks so much.
Btw I always feel like having an apple after watching ur videos.
Great video as always, I was half expecting no crunch when you bit the apple to drive the point home!
+Cole Whitelaw did that in my last audio episode ;)
Ha ha I knew you wouldn't have missed an opportunity like that. Keep up the good work, your videos are always inspiring, clear and enlightening. Cheers.
May you do a video on your Top 5 Favorite Films and why?
Aniya Wolfe that would really cool
You have been talking about filmmaking for long time .. i wanna see one of your short films that you made !.
+EverySing | افري سنك I'm working on it! Early 2016 it will be finished, and on this channel: th-cam.com/users/cadevisuals
Dude your videos are awwwwsommee
4:29 - 4:46
For me, the first part would be strenuous as I would have to rely on my instinct! But like you said, it would be revelational.
you summed it up perfectly!
+Ben Haviour thanks Ben!
Cool creative process
You've got yourself another subscriber sir. Great video, top level knowledge you pass on - satisfied and will be coming back! :)
"Let's make the sound of dog barking from a distance
Cliche
Who cares"
-Simon Cade 2015-2015
Will look back on This video in The future
In tip four when you said use it as a back up. That is really a good idea! Because I'm shooting a video for my school soon and that tip is useful for just in case if the rode video mic pro breaks I have a backup recorder or if the audio messes up. Thanks!
+Andriano .S it's also if the boom op points it at the wrong person, or doesn't have it aimed quite right. Could be that the shotgun mic's weird pickup pattern catches a nasty sound reflection, that the lav completely avoids. Lots of reasons :)
Really helpful man thanks alot
SOUNDS GR8! @DSLRguide
You are awesome!
really good points!
Simon, I have really found your channel extremely helpful and inspirational to me and I just wanted to know if you going to start doing independent filming like with festivals once you finish school or are you going to do corporate/commercial projects?
thank you alot, you are amazing
I really appreciate all of your content, especially this video being that I am a bit of an audiophile.
"The fastest way to ruin great video is bad audio."
Great work...sound is 50% of the film...I will be far more mindful in the future, opens up new realms of creativity. Thanks.
wow you sound so smooth like a butterscotch....
Awesome video!
I know you’re out there grinding. Randomly found this video via search. Hope you’re well, bud. Def miss seeing your style of content among the others. You are one of my early inspirations for getting into film/photo.
Thans for sharing.. good closure provided in the end (Apple)
Obrigado por sempre colocar legendas.
