A cheap alternative would be if you have an iphone to record the mic through there whilst filming on your camera, then take out the camera audio and replace it with the iphone audio in editing.
I'm honestly surprised to see this only having 32 views, you did really well and I think a lot of it is helpful for people starting out :) Surprised myself how much of the grain you were able to get gone on such an old camera myself!
Changing the aperture and ISO was entirely a game changer with this setup! Not only did it get rid of the grain, but it created deeper, richer colors and more contrast! Contrast is key to visual interest
It's also the one that shouldn't have been necessary. Beginners would set their cameras on auto, and it would default to pretty much that. He made the camera settings as bad as possible on purpose. A beginner is much more likely to have a camera that just can't look that good :/
Thank you, but I saw a video like this by Nigel Barros a long time ago then I made one that was similar but recommending different gear and a few different techniques
Dude with 1k subs schooling the whole of TH-cam in 5 mins how to TH-cam. Absolutely class! Brilliant video! Can not wait to see where you end up with these skills!
Dude, this was actually such a sick video. I love how the actual video itself is the example, which is just genius, and how it shows the difference each change makes. Everything was really well laid out and simple. Banger video man, deserves way more than 14k views.
A fundamental, clear and concise tutorial, reminds me of the good old TH-cam days when TH-camrs shared authentic and genuine content and were not bothered by algorithms.
This randomly showed up in my recommended. 10/10 great job. It’s straight to the point, very informative and helpful, no ridiculous intros/monologues, and no waiting until the last 30 seconds to deliver on what was promised. I appreciate this video and your work.
If you have bad setup, getting a good camera will just mean you have bad setup in high resolution. Great video! All of those are basic things to learn with your first camera!
Clean, straight to the point, and the technique of starting off with what you DON'T want and working your way up incrementally (displaying the changes each change at a time) is very engaging. Wonderful job.
Man, I love videos like this; concise and succinct. No loud over the top performance, no excess blathering full of unnecessary filler dialog, no taking all day to get to the point, no padding the video with stuff that doesn’t pertain to the subject matter just to get more ad space. Your video was all about business from the gate; nothing more, nothing less. The lessons contained were valuable, practical, and informative. Keep up the good work and you will get far with your channel, God willing. You’ve earned the like I’ve given this video. Salutes.
I watched hours of TH-cam to get the same amount of information you just gave in under 5min. Amazing job!!! Keep them short and informative because this is perfection👌🏻
This video is incredibly valuable simply because alot of people are getting into youtube and tiktok etc and they want to create high quality videos because unless you're bringing some value to the table your videos arent gonna perform well =D thank you for all the tips !
1. Get a shotgun microphone for your camera, or see if you can borrow one. 2. Keep the background tidy and simple to avoid distractions. 3. If you're shooting indoors, try to bring in some natural light. You could turn on a lamp or use the light from a window. 4. Check and adjust the white balance-it's usually pretty easy to fix. 5. Set up a 3-point lighting system and try out Rembrandt lighting for a cinematic look. 6. Use a diffuser on your key light to soften it. There are lots of budget-friendly ways to do this. 7. Play around with the ISO and aperture settings to minimize grain in your shots. 8. Remember the rule of thumb: your shutter speed should be twice your frame rate. 9. Add some contrast between your subject and the background to help your viewer focus on the main subject. 10. When editing, use LUTs and tweak the lighting settings to perfect the look of your footage.
This is spot on kid, im tired of all the so called professionals that tell you what gear to buy, what lens to use, literally if you want to take filmmaking seriously learn the basics, theres award winning movies shot on iphone 6, learn how to use what you have and what you dont have use it as an advantage, learn how to proper color grade, dont just apply some randoms youtubers orange teal lut over you're crappy rec709 footage; not everything can be solved in post production so, make sure you get the look you want mostly in camera and then, only then, enhance it in post. Keep on the good work 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I appreciate that this is just a lot of simple adjustments. I also like, that this doesn't absolutely require you to buy a whole bunch of things; you can implement these with lights you already have.
As someone who has been struggling with setting things up for weeks now, this is the most informative, straightforward, and practical video I have found yet, and I finally feel like I understand this!! tysm God bless
This is solid work! You have provided a very informative video which is also very helpful to me. I’m just seeing this and new to your channel and have just subscribed. Best to you with your filmmaking journey.

Most important in photography and videography is lighting. Even with good microphone we can get bad audio if we don't know how to use it. This superb video. Straight forward and simple tutorial.
Okay so I was really not expecting your advice to be technical and actually helpful. My ex was a photographer and shutter speed and ISO has always been daunting to me. I always assumed I wasn't tech savvy enough to understand how it works. Great video, thank you kindly, friend!
This video reminded me of the good old TH-cam days when videos were actually good. Nowadays all the videos are just annoying , it's either people loudly screaming and talking fast into the mic or the video is too bright and oversaturated.
@@superevilvillain maybe you are the kind of guy who likes mr beast more than PewDiePie , thats why you can find so many good TH-cam videos even in this bad TH-cam time
A hundred dollars is pretty low in comparison to what you can pay from some kit. And considering the effects he managed to get with it. 👍 Also, it’s often possible to borrow some gear.
I have been trying to find exactly this from so long. Watched many so called successful TH-camrs but still I couldn't understand the process. Your video helped me instantly. Such a clean, crisp and concise video. Keep it up man!
