Decent tips - I glad you reinforce no bad light for shooting - a true photographer/videographer sees every type of light as a opportunity - not a problem
01:09 Conversion Lut for log footage enhances video quality.
02:31 Staging scenes adds energy; mix with organic captures.
04:08 Embrace discomfort, cheesiness; it transforms on camera.
06:08 Record long clips; edit later, capture unexpected moments.
08:39 Use varied apertures; don't always shoot wide open.
10:48 Don't obsess over perfect lighting; embrace all conditions.
11:58 Shoot Shadow side for dynamic and interesting shots.
[00:00:10] Use a conversion LUT to take log footage back to Rec 709
[00:01:51] Stage your scenes instead of just capturing them
[00:04:11] Be uncomfortable and do cheesy or awkward things on camera
[00:05:42] Hit record and let it run
[00:07:25] Don’t shoot everything at your lowest aperture
[00:09:51] Don’t be a perfectionist about lighting conditions
[00:11:25] Shoot shadow side
Thanks ;)
Or use Davinci's Color Space Transformer.
You saved me from watching the video, thank you.
People mistake videographers with filmmakers so much nowadays, its not the same thing. Making an instagram reel for a brand with people running on the beach is not filmmaking, its videography.
Welcome to the future. Sorry that it annoys you ;)
@@seankitching who said anything about the future? I'm talking about using the right terminology. What you're talking about is videography, filmmaking is an entirely different discipline. Sorry that it annoys you but that's the truth.
@@JorikDozycinema is a language, as long as you talk in the proper way, you can also talk about people running on the beach for a few seconds. You don't like it, that's fine, but even for a short reel for a brand you can film it as a cinematographer rather than a videographer, the process makes the difference, wheter you film a 2 hours feature film or a 30 second commercial.
Excuse me, sir! I do have a question. I love the video you made, so, what is the right for that video? Is that considered filmmaking or videography? That is what I like to do.
This is coming from a "Filmmaker" with one video and 55 subscribers. Lol Maybe you should change to videographer.
Going back to feeling “cringy” “awkward” - that’s what separates ACTORs from, well, ordinary people who strive to be acceptable in PUBLIC (and often in private… too!)
It’s a social grace to appear normal in public (and abnormal when you are surrounded by similarly ABnormal people who share your “individuality by conformity” if that’s not too deep😏)
But an ACTOR (and it is a matter of degrees) goes with the - “moment” - as it grabs them… and/or they can reproduce that spontaneous moment - on queue - whenever and where-ever they feel the need to do so… they can feel - completely alone - in a room full of people and not care what those (generic) people may think of them being… non-conforming.
And - for CREATIVE shots - those are the people you NEED to make all go smoothly!
Extremely good tips and reminders. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for all the vids man. I find them super helpful and encouraging as a small TH-cam creator. Cheers!
Create = Cinematography
Capture = Videography
These two disciplines use similar tools, but the skillet and methodology and approach are quite different. 👌
You don't want to show up to a controlled narrative set as a vidrographer. You'll get bored and there's too many tripods. You get no callback.
You don't want to show up to a wedding or event and ask where the gaffer (the person that places lights on a set) is as a cinematographer. In the 3 seconds it took you to ask the silly question, the money shot is already gone. You get no referral.
You get the point.
Before anyone mounts a high horse or gets in their feelings about the above distinction, most of you, most of us will practice both, and sometimes a combination of both at one time, within the span of our career/hobby. So, there is no need to "other" the other when you are the other and the other.
Nice definition :) nice simple way of seeing it. Definitely agree that the way a lot of people create these days is some what of a hybrid between the two
I appreciate this! Thank you, it’s very helpful!
Good stuff! Thanks for the tips!
As always ...Thank you for the tips and tricks. Hope you have a merry Christmas.
Such a pleasure, glad you enjoyed them! Enjoy the festive season!
Thank you for these tips. Learnt alot.
Wow, thanks for the great value.❤
I’m happy you spoke about the aperture being too shallow. People get so caught up with that due to other influencers preaching about it, and I’ve been preaching to not fall into this hype. I like to shoot anywhere from f2.8-3.5. Images can look sharper this way. And the focus will fall just right on the eyes/face.
Thank you!! This is very concise and example clips are great 👍 I’ve saved this on my playlist!!!
Glad it was helpful! Appreciate the support :)
Great advice ,for real! I'm very new to being a content creator and not extremely comfortable seeing and hearing myself. Being aware of all these points is incredibly helpful. Thanks you!
Wow great tips man.. Very helpful!
Always learn so much! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and thoughts to encouraging us to try something different. I find this the greatest challenge is not getting into a rut and doing the same shot, sequence, aperture, focal length, lighting direction, etc. Every time I watch your videos I want to run out and shoot some new video!
Ah so true, I know the feeling of always falling back onto the same shots. But nice to force yourself to try new things.
Glad to hear you enjoy the videos!
This is the best explanation of filming backlit that I’ve ever heard, and the visuals really bring it home. Love it, new sub 🙌🏻
Awesome, thank you! Glad you are on board!
This is by far The best advice ive come cross in the last 6months!! Keep your knowlegde flowing!!
Ah that is awesome to hear haha!
Always such great advice. Thanks Sean!
Glad it was helpful!
Love your work! This is amazing! Thank you.
Thank you!
Good Tips- Thanks!
Great video bro. Thanks.
Appreciate you man!
A lot of great points!
Thanks for this, very well explained with great examples for each tip. I am guilty of stopping footage too quickly, I've regretted it many times when I need more footage at the end of a clip to make it fit where I needed it. Lesson learned!
Glad it was helpful! Yeah its such a big one hey!
this popped up in my recommended and im soo glad i did. i was struggling with the first tip. looked it up. used it on old footage i had laying around and it looks amazing. thanks brother
Great to hear! Appreciate the kind words :) Ready to see some beautiful colours on your videos ;)
Awesome tips thanks Sean!
Happy to help!
This was great!!!
As always. So informative!! keep doing the good job!!
Thank you so much!
Excellent video, thank you!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing video !
Provided some great insights
Didn't understand the concept of conversion LUTS and LOG footage though, because I've never used them before.
GREAT Video.
Thank you! If you are not shooting log don't worry about it. But also something to consider if you have it available. Really helps with things like dynamic range :)
Thanks !
Thanks for this, great info!
Glad it was helpful!
My dawg make it look so easy 🔥
Great advice! Love your channel!
Thank you so much!
good tips Thanks
great video always, thank you!
Thank you for watching!
You do a nice job Sean. Your advice is usually excellent.
I appreciate that!
Amazing tips, thanks 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent.
Great tips, definitely going to incorporate these in my future travel vlogs to make it more exciting 😊📷🍖🌄
Thanks Sean, I've been watching your channel for some time.
Your tips are valuable and your work is awesome. I'm only 3 videos in and I feel like I'm getting better.
Happy to help! Awesome that you can see some progress already!
@@seankitching Absolutely Sean, I appreciate the comment. I send people your instructional videography video's all of the time. Maybe one day, I'll be the one showing people how to be good! See you in the next video.
9:35 I totally agree with you on shallow DoF. Sometimes people just over use it, and it starts getting annoying, when you can't see a shit but just a tiny portion of the composition because the rest is a complete blur. Besides, cinema is not about crazy shallow DoF. Most films are moderate on this subject. In fact, ultra shallow DoF is used mostly in stills photography because it can be precisely controlled. Many people use ultra shallow DoF in video and then can't even control it essentially ruining the shot...
Cheers so much all great tips 😊
Also depends on the actor ❤
Great stuff🙏🙏 keep up the good work bro
Thanks 💯
I'd love to watch a video from you about wich is your color grading process you follow for your videos (: Thanx!
thanks very helpful
Glad it helped!
Cool video thank you man
Pleasure!
thanks fir for great sharing 😍😍
Welcome 😊
Great advice. Just want to let people know that doing a conversion to rec709 before color grading does not mean to slap a color transform at the beginning of your node tree, actually it is much better to put it at the end.
99% of youtube "Filmmakers" have no idea what a "node" is tbh.
Great tips! Surely wish I knew this when I started
Thank you! Glad you could learn them now at least ;)
NICE - LOVE - RESPECT
Man you're criminally underrated. You deserve all the fame and huge sponcers running behind you. Menifesting it for you. Love your work and knowledge and teachings so much man. Keep going and growing. Thank you so so much. ❤
Well said
Ah I really appreciate that! I am more than happy with the amazing audience I already have :)
excellent as usual and jealous of where you live, as usual )))) cheers guys))
Great video, greetz from Belgium!
Thank you very much!
Gold!!!
Thank you!
Ah you just explained why my videos looked so different from other filmmakers on youtube: the Log! Appreciate the quick video!
Happy to have helped!
The fstop tip is is golden!!!
Yeah so true right! Glad you enjoyed it
Nice info here, buy why are the extra effect sounds the main thing of your video?
Great Vid! I am planning on learning filmmaking and making some in my own channel, it really helps to discover some tips like these even as a college student with less experience and curiosity ^^
Great to hear! Just keep learning and I am sure you will create some cool stuff!
where can i fing it on the Sony website to convert Slog?
Preach 👏🏿👏🏽👏🏻
Most of what we see is staged, but beginner filmmakers and clients tended to think it was an authentic one take wonder type of situation
that third point is so legit... great content as always.
Appreciate it! I think its something people often don't think about...
Cool
Lekka Bru....Nice to see RSA on Da Tube!! Great Tips!!!
Always bru! Gotta support local hey! Thanks for watching
im not a fan of backlight where the whole video looks washed out, i much prefer front lighting as everything is clear to see. side lighting is also good where the lights is used to emphasize the hairs. i showed some people backlights vs front light and they all preferred front light because its easier to see whats going on. good tips aside those.
good boy! You said very interesting things.. but how do you export the final video file? Which codec do you prefer? The bitrate? How to prevent the macroblock problem that TH-cam compression generates? The one that, for example, you uploaded here on TH-cam? Thanks in advance!
Ah appreciate it! Yeah this is such an annoyance with premiere especially hey... maybe a good video idea and if you see one come out on my channel soon you know where I got the idea ;)
Wow THX
@@seankitching
Get cringy, bro-best tip. Long clips are great. I'm interested in workflow for shooting short stories alone.
haha so true hey
Funny… exactly one year ago I posted my take on a video from Matti Haapoja about beginner filmmakers mistakes. One of the issues was exactly the "always shoot wide open" and I think I pointed basically the same as you did now. Also, on the same video I mentioned two other mistakes that you also touched on here (let it roll and cut on the edit). It feels great to see your own thoughts being talked about by someone you look up to and feel inspired by. Thank you Sean!
Ah that is awesome and seems you have some great knowledge under your belt! I appreciate the kind words! I will go check out your channel :)
I have the notifications on for your videos but never get notified when you upload it does show up under sugestions but no notifications. just wanted to let you know also love your content very inspiring...
Ah super weird! Thanks for the heads up and having them on anyway :)
I was watching an anime and there was a scene with 2 characters talking. Even in animation, they focused on one character, then the other. Was a cool effect.
Ah cool that you noticed it. Nice way to learn as well.
solid tips
Appreciate it!
Nice
Thanks
Tips 2-4 is a good reminder for myself.
enjoyed it
Awesome!
informative video
Glad you think so!
mukemmel
These were really legit tips
Glad you enjoyed them!
i rarely stop recording on my canon rp. usually battery runs out way before i can get to the button.
7:25 SD Cards are cheap 😂😂 Then buy me some!!!1🤣🤣🤣
Definitely cheaper comparatively to film. Ill buy you sd cards if you buy me the same amount worth of images on film ;)

Hey Sean! Thank you, that was a great video! I am totally new into filming and am so excited about learning more. I never heard about shooting in log before until recently and I’ll soon go on a bigger trip with my friend that has a Sony A 7iii which I can borrow for filming, so I definitely want to learn more about how to work with log etc. Again, thank you! 🙏🏼
Really appreciate that! I hope the trip goes well and you guys capture some amazing content :)
The other thing about stopping down is that, that's often not the sweet spot for a lens ... sharpness, less chromatic abberation, etc. is often at a higher aperture ...
Ah so true, very valid point :)
sd cads are cheap?! uhm... Great video by the way!
Yeah not always these days but hey, at least they not gonna full up too quick
Useful but I hate it when people make click bait titles with a negative.
I get that. Unfortunately, seems the majority of people appeal to it more...
🎉🎉🎉🎉
YO
Ciao Sean ! Watching your video I realized that your girlfriend is my daughter's lookalike! Amazing
No way! Haha can be a body double when my girlfriend is fed-up with me shooting her haha
Would've, not would of
It will be okay ;)
Do not agree: whoever does not know what to film, overshoot.
MMmm nothing that was covered on this video was related to actual filmmaking. This is more like 7 tips to make travel videos for tik tok
If by "filmmaking" you mean camera settings & things like that then no... But once you realise there is so much more to filmmaking one day come back and have a watch again, maybe you learn something useful. As for Tik tok, yeah I don't see that at all sorry.
WORST CLICK BAIT EVER...
V90 sd cards are not cheap bro.
Using v60 256gb
Can somebody explain me if the difference is just the speed or also quality?
I hate watching your videos, Sean. It just reminds me how crappy my videos are.
That 'staged' tip is one that a lot of people in my genre don't understand. They just want to turn the camera on to record what they're doing.
Haha don't worry I still have that feeling all the time when watching other creators! Glad you found it useful though and yeah its such an under rated aspect of filming
I'm pretty sure it's "would have". Sorry it's a pet peeve.
