Do you like this style of video? Would you like to see more like this?
Informative, concise and entertaining, I'd like to see more.
No. I personally can't stand when videos refuse to say what they're going to talk about. I'm not going to watch this video unless the title changes, and then only if the content actually does sound interesting. I apply this standard to all channels. Clickbait is a terrible thing.
Well made, funny and presented in an easy to follow manner. You should have more subs than you do.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks, Adam 🙏🏻🎥
This is actually a really good explanation of something I've been trying to tell people who are filming, because most of the time they just shot a bunch of shots and then sifted put everything together in the edit. I've always said that the main difference between video and cinema is exactly this. Videographers go out and shoot everything and then decide what works best to tell the story but cinematographers figure out what they need to shoot in order to tell the story.
Even though much of todays video and film is shot and edited on the same equipment.
Not that one way is better than the other one. But one saves production and post production time which can be expensive on larger projects and the other one requires more time in preproduction which can be done by a fewer amount of people saving on time and money.
In essence it all comes down not what and how you're shooting but what are you trying to communicate and that depends on a multitude of different factors never just one like the lens type for a shot.
At least that's how I interpreted filmmaking.
Totally 🙏🏻 thank you for watching and commenting 🎥🎥
well said
@@elauadeinsf thank you.
This explains a lot I couldn’t understand why you couldn’t just move closer or farther away with just changing the camera position instead of on the lens now seeing this makes more sense
TH-cam suggested your video today, I loved your presentation, the element of surprise, the way you kept the attention of the audience, and the way you linked your next video at last. more value in a limited time 👍
this is the 5th video I'm watching and I have already learned so much about framing, angles, lenses, etc... and also about how to present your videos to your audience. keep up the good work man
Hey thank you so much. I’m super pleased the videos are helping 🤩🎥💪🏻 I am working on another one for next week and I think it could be the most helpful one yet!! I can’t wait to put it out. Thanks so much for watching and for your kind comment 🙏🏻
Thanks for the clarity of choosing focal lengths in the scenes
Happy to help 🤩🙏🏻🎥 thanks for watching
This video was amazing Sam! I've had some real laughter because of the simple jokes yet REALLY learned something valuable about lens choices. I did for a long time know what they obviously will show you, but not exactly the reason to why you'd pick one over the other. You killed it!
Ah Thomas that’s amazing. So pleased you learnt something AND enjoyed watching at the same time. Thanks for watching 🎥🤩🙏🏻
Love Mr Spielborg, always fun to learn with him!
this was one of the best videos I've watched on this topic, only 7 minutes but so much actually useful information
🤩🙏🏻🎥🎉 I’m so pleased you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
Great work sir. We started a small production company two years ago and these tips are absolutely gold. Because of creators like yourself and many others film school was not necessary. We were able to learn everything that we needed because people like you care to share it..
So pleased these videos are helping 🤩🙏🏻🎥 if you need further advice I have sessions on my website www.Sam-holland.com thanks for watching
Man, I just discovered you, and you do know your game. You're leading me from one video to another like a child. Very well done. And you have a funny bone too, made me laugh quite a few times.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 as long as it’s all helpful. Thanks for watching 🎥
Sam mate, I've only recently come across your videos and they're so under-viewed. You get the perfect balance of addressing the technical side of things as well as the artistic side. Then you show how to connect those sides and the various ways the technique in each video can be used. All this while keeping things friendly, light, and humorous without becoming overbearing or an information overload. You also don't come across as some egotistical camera know it all, which is very refreshing. You've gained a new sub for sure.
Thought id add something personal down here in case you happen to read all this soppy waffling. I've already taken things from your videos and used them to help me get better at my job in a small production company. I'm early in my career and thought you'd like to know you are one of the people genuinely helping me develop my skills, get better at my job, and better at my passion. Much love and respect bro, keep it up.
Hi. Thanks so much for the kind words. Great to have subscribers here like you but above all… I’m so pleased the videos are helping you progress! 🤩🎉 stay tuned and keep us updated with how things are going! 🎥🤩
I like how every video has a call to action at the end.
I hope all the videos help! I’m working on a full series so it covers everything I know 🤩🙏🏻🎥 thanks for watching
Great video. We’ve been following you for a while and appreciate the work on improving your format.
Thanks so much! 🙏🏻🎥
Exquisitely shot, outstanding audio, humorous, comprehensive, insightful and downright excellent! Spot on job Mr. Holland.
Thanks so much, Oscar 🙏🏻🤩🎥
Freakin awesome lesson! Thank you greatly brother!
Thank YOU 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Hi Sam! I just want to tell you that I'm extremely grateful for all your knowledge and especially the way you present it. I'm so glad that i found your channel! Cheers, mate!
Man I love this style I can’t stop watching
🤩🤩🤩🤩🎉🎥
I hope they’re providing some value
My second video I watched from you. I just found a new diamond. I really hope to see you grow because you really deserve it! Great job mate!
You absolute legend! 🤩🙏🏻 so pleased you’re enjoying the videos. Great to have you here as part of the channel 🎥
People are choosing lenses because of a spec sheet rather than telling a story, sick vid, love this new format, story telling is on point!
Exactly!!! We need to get away from the specs and think about the story and emotions. Thanks brother 🙏🏻🎥🎬📽
CONGRATULATIONS SAM! This video was really nice.
Thanks Carlos! 🤩🙏🏻🎥 I’m pleased you enjoyed it.
This is important as a photographer as well!
Videos like this really make me think and grow.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
My pleasure. Thank YOU! 🤩🙏🏻🎥 stay tuned for plenty more. Thanks for watching and commenting
The way you explain is just on point. Thank you brother
My pleasure! 🤩🙏🏻 I’m so pleased it helped. Stay tuned for another tomorrow 🎥
Loved this video. You demonstrated the lesson in a way that I’ll remember and will consider going forward.
Thanks Anthony. I’m pleased you enjoyed it and it helped 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Just found your stuff as I've been researching a particular lens for an upcoming project. Your videos are entertaining, and while what you say in this video is mostly true, especially for those who are just getting started in "filmmaking" - myself, having actually been on Spielberg's sets when I worked at Universal Studios (was on his Jurassic Park 2 set and his Amistad set) and having been in filmmaking and studying film for decades, I can tell you that Spielberg shot almost exclusively with a 21mm lens, as does Tim Burton and Martin Scorsese.
And many or my favorite Directors exclusively shoot with only wide angle lenses; Orson Welles and Jean-Pierre Juenet used 18mm and 25mm lenses, The Coen Brothers almost always use only 27mm for everything, as does Wes Anderson, David Cronenberg, and David Fincher. Of course there are exceptions... Ridley Scott loves 75mm Anamorphic.
But in general, most of the top Directors don't like switching out to different focal lengths if they don't have to, because they know how to use their favorite Focal Length in all the ways that are needed to achieve that context and emotion of the scene. But for everyone else watching your video... good advice!
This is fantastic. Really has me thinking more about the choices that I make to tell the stories! Loving the content as always Sam, so thank you.
Thank you. Glad this got you thinking 🤩👌🏻🎥 thank YOU 🙏🏻
This is an incredible video thanks Sam.
Fantastic video. Very entertaining and informative. Thanks!
Loved it Sam! Thank you. Perfect blend of humour and information 🙌🏻 Definitely something I need to work on myself, so this helped a lot!

That’s amazing!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 thank you! I hope it was worth the click 😂🎥
Sam.. I am from India and I love your videos and have been watching them for more than a year. I like you because of a joy that keeps bubbling inside you and finds expression through your eyes. Its just a pleasure watching that. however I am 'angry'.. when I saw you have just 44.2k subs.... You must be at a million now... You are way ahead then your competition. The plays... the drama ... the comic... I love how you do them. Considering that none of them are easy. Its so nice to see how you have shed off your 'Introvert' skin. Have seen at least 30 of your videos.... keep the hustle on my friend. God Bless ..
Thank you so much for the kind words 🙏🏻🤩 all the best to you 🎥
Great video Sam. As always!
Keep up the good work 👏 🙌 📷
Thank you! 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Really great content. Nice tips!!
Just some encouragement here. You are really stepping up your game….fire! Funny, informative, and engaging. Thanks for your effort👍
Thanks so much Chris 🙏🏻🎥
So well put. Great content.
Thank you 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Good video with a simple to apply principle. These things can seem super obvious once they're revealed, but obviously, it's not the case. I'll be using these a lot. Thank you!
Thank you! 🙏🏻🎥
Dude, the strategy you use to point to the next video is really smart. Love your channel and energy.
Haha thank you! 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Finally I understand the basics of lens! ☺️
Woohoo! 🤩💪🏻 so pleased this helped. Stay tuned for plenty more videos and thanks for watching 🙏🏻🎥

Easy for me I only have one lense
Great video with useful advices, humour and to the point!👌
Thank you! 🤩🙏🏻🎥
I really needed this... I’m at a point in my career where I’m following a template for videos with little to no reason and emotion.
Hey Jason. Great that you’re realising this now and can move forward 🤩💪🏻🎥 now you can be more creative
Super cool Sam, adding funny a tone alongside clever filmmaking tips made this very entertaining to watch 😉👍
Thank you 🤩🙏🏻 I’m pleased you enjoy it. Plenty more to come 🎥
good on lens characteristics V informative.
Great hooks and engagement in your videos mate!
🙏🏻 thank you
Utter mutter, Sam! Great spate! Love this fun, creative, _very_ helpful video. Thanks mammothly much. Cheers from the States!
💛🇬🇧
Thank you, Glen!! 🇺🇸🤩🙏🏻🎥
Fantastic stuff Sam! really enjoyed and understood :) and subscribed
Thank you 🙏🏻 I’m pleased you enjoyed it 🤩🎥
I only came across Sam Holland's videos in the last month or so and they're Gold! How come he hasn't got hundreds' of thousands of subscribers? These are *way* more informative than the bulk of the output from many of the "big names" on TH-cam. He has the depth of content of Gerald Undone but with a really accessible tutorial style that isn't overwhelming, a bit like Brandon Li, but rather more engaging to watch IMO.
Thank you so much. I’m pleased you’re enjoying the videos and hopefully learning something. Great to have you here 🤩🙏🏻🎥
That was awesome. Love the humor. Keep up the great work 👍
Thank you! 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Very awesome video man!
Thanks, Gino 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Thanks! Great video!
Thank YOU 🙏🏻🤩🎥
This was really useful - I learned how to use the equipment to tell a story, rather than just a list of specs - thanks!
SAM. Te video was entertaining, funny and informative. GREAT WORK. Keep it up!!
Thanks Troy 🤩🙏🏻
Great video Sam!
Awesome video Sam, thanks! Fresh, smooth and professional, my favourite "new" TH-camr! :)
Thank you so much! 🤩🙏🏻🎥 you legend
Great stuff. Helpful.
Thank you I’m glad this helped 🤩🙏🏻🎥
This was brilliant, Sam! Brilliant! And funny!

Super nice content! Thank you!
Thank you! 🙏🏻🎥
Blooming BRILLIANT mate 👍🏻
Thank you 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Wow, this is really informative.
🤩
Really enjoyed this one!
Thank you 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Great video Sam! Informative! There a video on TH-cam, titled the soul of cinema, wish more videographers would run with the ideas from that video. Also, there's a small channel called the whole equation, great information that I feel you could also digest and present in your way. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! 🙏🏻🎥
Excellent!
Very creative and instrutive vídeo
What a fun video. Great job.
Thanks, Jared 🎥
awesome video Sam !
Thank you Andy 🙏🏻🎥
This channel is outstanding....
Thanks so much 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Absolutely Amazing lense for my FX30
Fantastic channel. Subscribed. Thanks! ❤️🤗
Thanks so much! 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Great content as always! I find a standard 24-70 the most valuable piece of kit over primes simply because focal range feels much more important to filmmaking than DOF... And considering time (doing corporate work) it's the only thing I can find shooting on - I Would love to hear how primes have worked for your filmmaking career and workflow. Cheers!
Thank you 🙏🏻
There’s just a certain characteristic when it comes to prime lenses. They’re dedicated to one thing so they are generally “better” optics. Plus, having a set makes you more intensional with your choice for each shot.
I have a cinema lens on the way for a video soon and I’ll be talking about the full set of primes on the channel so stay tuned 🤩🙏🏻🎥
@@SamHolland looking forward to seeing it!
You are absolutely right, not only is shallow dof overused and used with no other purpose than “cINemAtIc”, but the prime lenses are also way too shallow. On a fullframe going lower than f2.8 is hardly ever necessary, especially if for 50mm and tighter. It makes the persons ears and tip of the nose out of focus, its not separating the subject anymore, its separating parts of the subject.
I do agree that using primes will force you to understand vocal lengths, but the same thing can be done with proactivity. Just take your zoom lens out and shoot one day on 24mm, next day on 35mm, than 50mm and so on.
@@Yodd very interesting point. For solo filmmakers / photographers, DOF is a help, but certainly there are many films and scenes shot without shallow DOF, and for good reason
Totally! 👌🏻🎥
Loved this video! Gave me a good few laughs and cheered me up since testing positive for COVID 😫😅👏🏻
The Pombears in the camera bag! Brilliant! 🤣
😂😂😂 yes!!! 💪🏻🎥
Great advice Sam. Funny too. More please
Thank you 🤩🙏🏻 plenty more on the way 😂🎥🎬
