I would love to say, “Thank you,” to Matti and crew for uploading this FREE, insightful conversation with Oren. What a crash course of learning for young filmmakers
don't forget seemingly fail to mention they used a 85,000 dollar lens, so like most things, the camera is important, but alot of the time its the glass that can make or break your footage, i get it sounds cool they used a cheaper more consumer camera, but they seem to forget the part of using a 85,000 dollar lens
it's not even the fact they have a 85k lens@@BrandonPrive1432 , it's more so they have 500k worth of lighting, staff, rigs, location, etc. Just look at apple and their new keynote filmed on iPhone, most of the credit goes to the lighting, gimbal and staff, not the sensor.
I've been asking this question for years, "Does Hollywood NEED tons of gear, or could they make an amazing movie with 'prosumer' gear?" Thanks for the breakdown. It was a great interview!
We're at a tipping point now in terms of technology where the image quality of a "small" camera has become virtually indistinguaishable from the high-end ones albeit with a lot of work done in post. This wasn't the case maybe even 5 years ago where the image quality of these consumer/prosumer cameras was vastly inferior. The last time this happend was around 2012 when the Arri Alexa became mainstream and the image became virtually indistinguishable from film.
its most about lightning and the lenses.. those lenses will u cost u 5 times that fx3.. when i am using my expensive cine lens on a old canon mk2.. it will blow away the newest ursa 12k in terms of cinematic look.. so yeah..
they still need tons of gears simply because the lighting, vfx, and production design carried the film, not even talking about the lenses. however, shifting from big arri cameras to a small fx3 is a huge upgrade in terms of portability and being compact, its a yes and no answer basically.
Great interview, Oren really speaks well and hits all of the questions he was asked on the nose. He’s super intricate yet to the point with his responses.
Thank you guys! I was fascinated to hear more about this as I went to see the movie BECAUSE it was shot on a consumer camera. The funny thing was I was immersed immediately in the story so I forgot to look at it from that lens lol. This was a great conversation and I can't WAIT for the behind the scenes video!!!! Thanks again, guys ❤
Thank you, Matti! Using your reach to give us such deep insights with those amazing creatives is insanely valuable. Especially mixed with your own content exploring all the techniques!
Thank you for making this video, its definitely inspirational for all filmmakers. Its never about the gear, its the person using the gear. Everyone make your movie!
Just come across this interview, I am sucking up all things The Creator. It is beyond inspiring to see such wonderful imagery and storytelling be accomplished with such equipment. Right now an FX3 is out of my budget but I have a Fujifilm X-T5 and Canon RP and this has put a spark in me. I'll be out using what I got and working on my visual language and my writing. A whole generation of filmmakers are going to be born from this.
I’m imagining this on set; the Director himself, running around with main camera, doing all of that + zero lens activity, nobody messing with any cam equipment essentially, except him maybe handing the rig to someone, or maybe just keeping it himself until they get ready for next shot. This is the way. I see Tarantino adopting this shooting technique. And big thanks Matti for this video and your other insightful efforts. Your new fan.
And then your realize that the lens do a lot of the heavy lifting and create the cinematic format he desired. Camera is amazing, the lenses that were used are even more incredible. Thank you for this video!
This is a fantastic interview. I was so stoked to hear questions asked about how the efficiencies afforded by the gear impacted production workflow and actor's performances, not just technical gear talk.
AMAZING interview man! this film and Gareth and Oren are definitely inspirational for scrappy indie filmmakers. By downscaling their tooling to a more prosumer level, they seemed to allow for more creative freedom in the storytelling.
Amazing interview. My main takeaway is that the camera is basically just the tool to capture the footage. The grandiose look of the film is actually due to the full power of Disney’s best technicians doing amazing work, so let’s give due credit! Eagerly awaiting part 2 of this interview!
What a great guy, he was very passionate about the project, and it shows the way he speaks of it! Keep these coming! Love that you're connecting with the big leagues in cinema for this type of content!
Matti, beyond excited for your Human Video Co. I got into the Tribeca Film Festival with an a7s II last year. I live in Vancouver so I’m thrilled for your contest 🙌🏽 great interview too, have fx3 coming next week
This movie- and how it was made- is fascinating and exciting for the future of cinema, but I think a lot of vloggers and content creators are getting ahead of themselves with all these “all you need to make a blockbuster movie is an FX3” articles and videos. They had an army of VFX artists from ILM to help realize this vision, not to mention very expensive and inaccessible lenses, access to highly remote and difficult locations, etc. As DIY as the production was compared to the average big budget FX-driven film, this still would not have happened without the budget and resources of a major studio backing it
Also helps to have a compelling script or content. TH-camrs "reacting" to other content, or lip syncing to other content while wearing a funny outfit doesn't cut it.
This is an AWESOME interview and I'm loving these BTS, be real, dig deep kinda talks. And what a movie. We were in the same boat with you guys - we use Sony exclusively at work and knew the FX3 was a contender for big work. But I was still blown away that they used it for a Hollywood movie. I'm still shaking my head. Oh - and the #human video - ooohhh that stokes me out!
Thank you, Matti! Highly informative I'd say! All the love from India! We watched it in cinemas two weeks back. Brilliant movie! When hot shot filmmakers are so adamant about using only IMAX or other big cinema cameras, I think they should learn a thing or two from these guys. The freedom a filmmaker gets by using a smaller camera is huge. It gives the flexibility to experiment more and not limit themselves from doing shots that are riskier or impossible with a bigger rig, which means more money on production. This team proved that great movies can also be done with prosumer level cameras. Kudos to the crew who made such a beautiful movie. So lucky to be part of the movie.
Man idk why but the shot of the robot on the scooter got stuck on my brain since watching it, its something so mundane yet it tell so much about the world they live in. The worldbuilding in this film is something that i've never seen before
From the 20 years i spent on films sets, what i value most (aside from the job I had to accomplish) is watching crew members at work, combining ideas, observing one another, preparing, explaining. All this "detail" material taught me so much. And when i discovered that a Director of photography literary holds the image quality in his hands and mind, i thought "When your shift is done, have a chat with the DP about [this] and [that] because there is still one question in your head about those things, and only he can bring some light on.". Oren Soffer just illustrated that to the perfection, as he brought us enough of his global knowledge so we can now understand many more of what they have done before and during the filming. And i would advise all aspiring cinema-makers, no matter their actual jobs and no matter their ideal jobs, to just shut the *fox* up and listen, and watch, and absorb, and memorize, and analyse, and widen their "angles" (fields of image, fields of sound, fields of thoughts,fields of raw and processed data... Thank you Matti for starting such a puzzle-documentary about cinematograph, this is a matter of passion(s) and can never have enough of passionate talented professionals to take us higher and higher. Eagerly waiting for the next one ! ✋️🙂👌
I remember a DP roundtable with Rogers Deakins, who is by far my favorite DP in the world (his last movie, Empire of light, just the B-roll made me tear up). The roundtable host said, "Film or digital?" and everyone said a strong preference. Deakins simply stated, "if you were to give me a phone, I could make my movie anyway." 2049 was shot with two cameras, all internal colors (so color-timed instead of graded) even for the orange desert stuff. Love that Sony is bringing that philosophy and enabling more directors to get out there and just film! Sony should reach out to him tbh
Thank you for this, Matt! This is so great conversation and it helps me a lot with my shooting experience. I´ve been thinking about getting an FX3 camera for a long time, but this is just one big plus for me. Can´t wait for more!
You missing the whole point. Is not the Fx3 or the Fx100 or Red2000 Is the power of your script! A powerful script is the real expensive tool for filmaking. Something that you can't buy. So instead of waiting for the Fx3 write a script and shoot it with your phone!
Love these Matti! These videos are so helpful and informative! Between you and Mark Bone, I think you're easily the best film educators on TH-cam. I'm always learning new stuff from you two!
The Way Oren depicts how they used multiple FX3 rig setups all ready to go IS for me the ultimate way to flow in any shoot. Small rigs that can be grabbed in a moment to keep the flow happening maximising any set and talent. YES YES YES!. This is the best way to shoot.
Matti, as a "soloprenuer" who started my little production company 3 years ago... I just want to say thank you. This conversation really just brings me joy and hope in where I am and where I'm headed, currently with my fx3 :) lol
dope, love it man! shot two short films on the fx3 out in korea this year. originally i was gonna use the bmpcc 4k, but did extensive reading online about the bmpcc 4k. i was planning for 6 months to use that camera, but then because of me just being lazy to shoot manual i was like "switch to the fx3"... and i nveer looked back.
Been saying this for a long, long time. Convenience is king. We need more cameras like the FX3 out there. It is nice to see modern filmmakers embracing the convenience factor. Creativity is limited by function, yet is unlimited when function is convenient.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,726 subs and > 1k hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
I would love to say, “Thank you,” to Matti and crew for uploading this FREE, insightful conversation with Oren. What a crash course of learning for young filmmakers
🙏🏻
Yes this was great!
😊 25:20
This whole video should tell you that it's not the camera, it's the user. It's not how much it costs, it's how much work you put into it.
Watching this with an FX3 on my desk, in front of me, and the fact that it filmed this movie is BONKERS. Always love your content sir! 🎉
don't forget seemingly fail to mention they used a 85,000 dollar lens, so like most things, the camera is important, but alot of the time its the glass that can make or break your footage, i get it sounds cool they used a cheaper more consumer camera, but they seem to forget the part of using a 85,000 dollar lens
they had 10. you are 9 short of greatness😂👍🏻

Rich guy....

This series is so so valuable, can't say that enough. So stoked for part 2
I’m pretty sure I’m looking forward to it more 😊
@@mattih haha fair enough
Until you get censored
Oh gosh! Get off his nuts 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
What a crazy time to live in. Blessed to be a creator right now
Pun intended
I've been asking this question for years, "Does Hollywood NEED tons of gear, or could they make an amazing movie with 'prosumer' gear?" Thanks for the breakdown. It was a great interview!
Yes the fx3 without tons of gears and expertise would never give such results.
We're at a tipping point now in terms of technology where the image quality of a "small" camera has become virtually indistinguaishable from the high-end ones albeit with a lot of work done in post. This wasn't the case maybe even 5 years ago where the image quality of these consumer/prosumer cameras was vastly inferior.

i hope this kind of filmmaking becomes a trend. lower budgets and more risktaking. this movie was such a breath of fresh air
That small little mention of film halation changed the way I think of image processing forever for sure! Worth the watch just for it.
Around which part of the video was this at?
@@YusefNova12:51
Great interview, Oren really speaks well and hits all of the questions he was asked on the nose. He’s super intricate yet to the point with his responses.
Finally motivated out to the theatre see The Creator this past weekend. SUCH a gorgeous looking film. Well done all.
It’s so good!
Thank you guys! I was fascinated to hear more about this as I went to see the movie BECAUSE it was shot on a consumer camera. The funny thing was I was immersed immediately in the story so I forgot to look at it from that lens lol. This was a great conversation and I can't WAIT for the behind the scenes video!!!! Thanks again, guys ❤
Just bought a ticket for this movie just because of the interview! Good conversation Matti!
Heck yes 🙌🏻 you will love it
Thank you, Matti! Using your reach to give us such deep insights with those amazing creatives is insanely valuable. Especially mixed with your own content exploring all the techniques!
About to start filming my first feature w/ the FX3 that I’ve been using since it came out! 🎥
Love this interview.
This was the best conversation about filmmaking choices for "The Creator" - more than just the camera, which all along I thought was the case.
Thank you for making this video, its definitely inspirational for all filmmakers. Its never about the gear, its the person using the gear. Everyone make your movie!
My dad is an editor. He's been GEEKING about this for weeks. Cannot wait to watch this then watch the movie with him
Just come across this interview, I am sucking up all things The Creator. It is beyond inspiring to see such wonderful imagery and storytelling be accomplished with such equipment.

Please keep doing more of these videos Matti ! Love this kind of content, coming straight from the source it's self !
I’m imagining this on set; the Director himself, running around with main camera, doing all of that + zero lens activity, nobody messing with any cam equipment essentially, except him maybe handing the rig to someone, or maybe just keeping it himself until they get ready for next shot. This is the way. I see Tarantino adopting this shooting technique. And big thanks Matti for this video and your other insightful efforts. Your new fan.
Great interview !!! Thanks guys 🙌🏻
thank you for the amazing access you are giving us. Much appreciated!!
I'm blown away by this interview. Thanks Matti...
I love this format of video. Super interesting. It motivates to create more with what we have ! Thank‘s to do videos like this !
And then your realize that the lens do a lot of the heavy lifting and create the cinematic format he desired. Camera is amazing, the lenses that were used are even more incredible. Thank you for this video!

Great to see this new kind of content I stopped watching TH-cam tutorials and kit content a long time ago, I’ll be tuning back in for more Matty!
Thank you to gave us opportunity to watch this wonderful interview!
What a great guy, he was very passionate about the project, and it shows the way he speaks of it! Keep these coming! Love that you're connecting with the big leagues in cinema for this type of content!
Love these interviews, thanks Matti!
Matti, beyond excited for your Human Video Co. I got into the Tribeca Film Festival with an a7s II last year. I live in Vancouver so I’m thrilled for your contest 🙌🏽 great interview too, have fx3 coming next week
Love this. Can’t wait for part two
This is pure gold. I can’t wait for a deep dive on this one.
This format is huuuuge Matti!! Thanks for putting in the effort man!
I absolutely love this style of video. and hearing him talk about colorists was so nice

Greetings from Uruguay
Wow. Sony fx3? Discontinued drone? Vintage anamorphic lens? Amazing. That’s art
Thank you, Matti! Highly informative I'd say! All the love from India!

Let’s get part two! I love this type of content.
Astonishing movie. We saw it in cinemas two days ago and loved the very detailed world!
These interview formats are very nice, thank you! 👌
It’s so good! One of my fav movies of the year for sure
What's the name of the movie? I can't find it mentioned anywhere
Great interview!! Thank you!!
Love this, can’t wait for the part two. I got the chance to see it on the big screen and it’s spectacular
What’s the title
Such a great video, thanks a lot Matti and Oren!
Man, your channel turned to such high value content ! Keep pushing this way !
Amazing interview. Thank you Matti and Oren!
i really wish these podcasts were available on spotify! Great video as always
Awesome video Matti! “Gracias” from Chile!!
Finally! A great piece of content that gives us more details of what the FX3 was like while filming the creator. Amazing Matti!
That was epic and so incredibly inspiring!! Well done to the crew for that visual masterpiece 🎉👏🏽
What a precious interview, thanks for this Matti ❤

Love this series, and the implications The Creator has for budding filmmakers.

It's a shame Deakins and other cinematographers are so against grading.

Phenomenal ❤ glad to see this conversation looking forward to that deep dive breakdown 🤙🏽
This is honestly too good ! F X 3 man I am a proud owner but of course they used expensive gear like lenses and so on but still it’s pretty sick
Best series on TH-cam. Thank you Matti.
I really like how Matti is nerding out on hearing all the awesome information Oren shared.
Great interview! Loved to hear this story! Can't wait for the follow up!
incredible, insightful video, thanks Matti for starting this series
Congrats on getting this interview! Quality, insightful, and entertaining content. Can’t wait for Pt. 2
Been so long waiting for this!! Finally!!! Thanks!!❤
Love these Matti! These videos are so helpful and informative! Between you and Mark Bone, I think you're easily the best film educators on TH-cam. I'm always learning new stuff from you two!
Class video
My favourite types of video you’ve ever done
One of my favs too 😊
so good! thank you Matti and Oren!!!
Knowing it was an FX3 made me love the movie 1000000X more in theaters - can't wait to purchase it.
Love these interviews.
Thanks man 🙏🏻
YES! letsgooooo matti
i was hoping you’d get him on
Thanks for your passionated conversation i cant wait part 2 make it soon
Incredible interview and very much necessary.
every shot from the sizzle reel looks gorgeous
Loved this video, looking forward to part two
I don't know how they did this... just wrapped a show with 3 Venice and 3 FX3s and we felt a MASSIVE drop in low light performance.
The Way Oren depicts how they used multiple FX3 rig setups all ready to go IS for me the ultimate way to flow in any shoot. Small rigs that can be grabbed in a moment to keep the flow happening maximising any set and talent. YES YES YES!. This is the best way to shoot.
Matti, as a "soloprenuer" who started my little production company 3 years ago... I just want to say thank you. This conversation really just brings me joy and hope in where I am and where I'm headed, currently with my fx3 :) lol
I love the series your doing, keep up the amazing work !
Thanks for the sharing this interview brother, just amazing❤ from India
wow I didn't want this interview to end! Thanks Matti, I cannot wait for part ii!
Cant wait for part 2! Thanks Matti! ❤
dope, love it man! shot two short films on the fx3 out in korea this year. originally i was gonna use the bmpcc 4k, but did extensive reading online about the bmpcc 4k. i was planning for 6 months to use that camera, but then because of me just being lazy to shoot manual i was like "switch to the fx3"... and i nveer looked back.
Another great interview!
Anyone who owns an FX3 is well aware it is 99% just as good as any cinema camera out there. Kudos to Oren for taking the plunge!
So so soooo cool that they weren’t even sponsored by Sony ❤🎉
Been saying this for a long, long time. Convenience is king. We need more cameras like the FX3 out there. It is nice to see modern filmmakers embracing the convenience factor. Creativity is limited by function, yet is unlimited when function is convenient.
8:32 would be a dream come true. More options and features for great affordable cinematic work.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,726 subs and > 1k hours of watch time.

Awesome! Creativity rules! Great interview, great insights, great content!
Loved, Loved, Loved this movie. Was a perfect movie to see on the big screen.
This is amazing. We need that deep dive!!!
Yes we do 😊
This is one of the best series about filmmaking out there! Keep it up Matti!
Loving these videos man.
