    “Filming making is just a workout “ great words said right there mate. Stumbled on to your channel by accident. But so worth it. Thanks for the tips. Usually I’m Paulo in the shoots. Learning to respect the film maker more after this vid . Respect ✊

    So helpful! Sometimes it's hard to know where you're stuck in the beginner mindset and this really helps to lay it out.

    ……Look at that . There is so much hard work , lots of efforts and pain goes in making a film . And all these hard work goes in vain when film becomes flop/ or didn’t do well because of bad/weak story. I think the roll of writers has increase tremendously more than before. Thank you Thomas for making this videos . Your panting/gasp itself tells more about the hard work than words. We appreciate you for making this videos.

    Hey Thomas, you have sold me on using a Gimbal! Tried to do walking shots, not running and they were very shaky. Now I can see the vast difference. Having gone through the Life Capture academy series this is good. It goes to another level. Anybody who wants to improve their filmmaking needs to do this! Great stuff!! Keep doing your videos man!

    @donnik7064 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's great to see more videos of you! I love them and I always have the feeling that you are different to a lot of other youtubers out there in teaching filming skills. I think it is because I have the feeling that you are "honest". I don't know why but you do filming by heart and have ups and downs and share them with the community and that makes you authentic. Others are more kind of showers and superficial and I don't like them, however, they supply us with really good videos.
    There is a another point I love: You have a Lumix S5! Imo it is an awesome cam but a lot of people (especially vloggers) complain about Panasonic AF and bla bla bla. Their only love is an A7SIII. Sure, Sony has a great cam, but the S5 has just some minor flaws compared to the A7SIII and it costs less than the half (4000€ compared to 1600€ in Austria). I think you got that point and in the end the s5 delivers more features for your money compared to a7siii. Maybe I am wrong, but I think you have the same economic thinking as I have and therefore chose the s5. The next thing I like about you! Thumbs up for this!

    • @ThomasAlexNorman
      @ThomasAlexNorman  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks mate. Yup love the s5! Panasonic gifted me it which i'm very grateful for - but I use it as my main camera now and I think it's the best bang for buck atm. Appreciate your kind words.

    I know this wasn't a focus for the video as it was focused on and teaching other important aspects of videography, I'm just wondering in regards to the features of the gimbal, when doing the truck shot where you mentioned locking the gimbal's "axis" in place (and gives the impression you're locking the pan and tilt axis only), would there have been a a way to lock the roll axis as well, or lock onto the subject instead of just locking the pan and tilt as shown at 08:49, so that you can keep your horizon level with the subject ?
    Or to say the same thing in a less complicated way by asking more bluntly, is there a feature that would've fixed your horizontal alignment at 08:49 so the shot didn't look crookid?
