    This is a different video than what you typically find on TH-cam, and I appreciate it. I enjoy this a lot more than a strict talking head.

      Bro you’re speaking my language. I get so bored of people talking behind a desk about their work. I’d rather see the work. I don’t even care what they say sometimes, I just want to see live action on set.
      I copied this whole style from Cranky Cameraman. He’s got a massive archive that you can delve into. Much higher level than me. He uses two arris and two fx9’s with a full production vehicle. Check it out!

      It’s great for a lot of situations! However I do get asked for Sony when I’m fitting into some other productions.
      But if you do your own projects, it’s a such a valuable camera. The ND filters and audio make my life so much easier.

    • @davidmorefield
      @davidmorefield  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If I didn’t shoot, edit and upload them all from my iPhone they would never get done Gaga. Such a great tool!
      I’ve had some success from Upwork (Freelancer), just started a LinkedIn. But 90% of my work has always came from word of mouth. And it’s not from clients, it’s from other camera operators who are too busy to take the job. You can start that network by handing off jobs that you don’t want to someone else and emphasize that you can help each other out.

    You make such informational videos that are so helpful. I love to see the working side of things and how you make your decisions. But man I keep looking at your gear. Haha. What monitor mount are you using? I miss that about my c200.
    Could you tell me what you use?
    Could you do a gear set up one day or a tour of your set up? It’s modular.

      I need to get my smallhd calibrated. The canon lcd is more accurate here.
      And I had vmount on here but it was too heavy and too long of a process to remove when I switch to gimbal. Since the handgrip doesn’t rotate, all that weight is uncomfortable on your wrist.

    If you're taking questions, how do you set your white balance in these situations? You've got a mix of your lights, the conference center lights, and that huge window. Does the variable natural light mess with your exposure and white balance?

    I'm sure you're shooting all your interviews in 4k but are you also shooting them in the c70 raw LT or St or just in the regular format?

    • @davidmorefield
      @davidmorefield  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The standard for conference videography is 1080 at 30fps. The turnaround is extremely fast and 4k is an unnecessary hurdle. It increases footage transfer time, more sd cards, slows down editing/exporting and no one notices the difference. These videos are being played the next day on a massive 60ft screen. The resolution doesn’t matter.
      And it’s always in 8 bit, so to answer your question: No, definitely not using raw. Not even using xfavc. The client wanted the lowest code: mp4 (which is normal).
      I used raw once for a personal test but never for a client. It just creates too many headaches. Especially since I normally film and then hand off footage. I want to give them something they can easily manage. I usually shoot xfavc long gop for 90% of my work.

    • @kyleranney

      They had a promo price of $275 for four months. I chose that. And when it expired they sent an email and offered it to me again and even added two free months.
      You want to go with the option that puts you on page 1. That’s how you get the most leads. And pick the right keywords that fit your type of work. I chose “interview, director of photography, corporate and documentary.”
