Keep doing these videos dude, you’re the only content creator who takes us behind the scenes of actual work, and not just a talking head in a bedroom with a blue backlight 😂 love it 🔥
That is the whole goal so I’m glad it’s coming across.
😅😢wpjoonñj😢o😅
And I’m not the only one. I stole this style from Cranky Cameraman. He operates at a much higher level than me. Check his channel!
Best channel ive found so far on actually working as a dp. Thank you!
Thanks! I try to share the experiences that I have.
You should check out Cranky Cameraman too!
Keep the content coming your content is so relevant and real world ...
Thanks! That’s exactly how I design it so it’s great to find out that’s how it’s being received. You should follow Cranky Cameraman. I loved his insight and vlog style so much that I copied it! He works with fx9’s and Amira’s and has years of extremely valuable vlogs.
Love it man!
Thanks for watching.
Congrats! Must be awesome to have those opportunities.
It really is. And it came from doing well on the smaller jobs!
You are such an inspiration David! I used to work with multiple big clients such as Shell, PNC etc shooting video. I’ve since taken an internal video team job and while it pays good I miss that hustle and bustle and on the job craziness from these shoots. You make me want to take the leap into freelance.
I cant stand monotony. I actually prefer the spontaneity of job insecurity. Makes me feel more engaged.
Great job buddy!!! 🤓👍🏻👏🏻
Thanks man!
I recently did a photography gig where I used 2 cameras and the cross body straps like your buddy had. Ask him if he had issues with essentially "camera but dialing" where the camera that's hanging would press buttons because it's hanging from my body. My solution was to turn each camera off when I would switch to another one, but that would slow down my workflow.
I know he keeps them on so he probably doesn’t have that issue. And I believe he uses a vest instead of two cross straps.
But these are the small details that can make a big difference!
Awesome experience David. Keep up the good work and and the great attitude and you will go far in this line of work. I'm a cinematographer based in The Bahamas and I always look forward to your content. Continue to do well.
Hey thanks for checking out the videos, I’m glad you’re getting some value out of them. Yeah man, I’ll keep going as long as I can haha. Always new opportunities popping up.
The reader was likely the issue more so than the SD card itself - also, you could always use an atomos and film to ProRes
I sold my ninja. I don’t like the vulnerabilities of filming over hdmi. Not secure enough for me to feel comfortable. Plus you can’t send On Screen Display info which is half the reason I use a monitor to adjust settings. But thanks for the insight. Always looking for methods to optimize workflow.
btw, got the Shimoda DV recently . know you were eyeing it a while back. love the camera. supper convenient

Oh really? What type of camera do you have rigged up in there. Would love to hear your thoughts on it! Feel free to send me a pic on ig. It’s linked in the description.
That red is a beauty
It really is 🥲
There were a bunch of them there.
Thanks so much for the vlog. It is great to see how things are developing for you.
I really enjoy your vlogs. I think they provide something that is missing in the universe of TH-cam: There are plenty of quality tutorials and reviews of equipment. But not much that I've seen like your vlog where it is more like "here is a situation that I need to shoot, these are the issues I'm facing, and here is how I use the equipment and environment I have to do it." The business and personal growth is great too. I can relate to it because there is so much in common in your equipment and mine - though you're way further down the path of professional use than I am.
(for demographic info - I'm in Australia. I've been doing intermittent paid video work for about a year. All dance events - concerts and competitions in theatre with camera fixed on tripod. I have also been doing stills photography for amateur MMA and Taekwondo for years. I recently did my first corporate job and hope to do more. As you say, it is all networking. I got that gig through my next door neighbor who has a communications company and had a client that needed some video. We'll see how that progresses :-) )
Dude that is exactly the style and info I wanted to present. So I’m glad it’s coming across. I think there’s a gap in TH-cam between people who sit at a desk talking about gear and people actually in the field. To each their own but I find this style more intriguing. And I love that I can shoot/edit and publish all from my phone. If I had to edit this on a computer, it would never get done.
Yeah man, that sounds like an awesome start. Take every gig you can in the beginning it all helps. Every experience takes you further.
Welcome to reality tv! OTF is a style of interviews, so they had one more interview to shoot with somebody from a scene they shot
Thanks for the clarification. I know most of my jargon from the Eng world: sot, mos, standup, look live, etc. It’s fun to learn these new ones. Any others I should be aware of?!
OTF is when it looks like they are pulled aside usually standing up somewhere talking about before during and after the scene to clarify its importance. ITM or “in the moment” is more in the same environment of the scene, kind of direct to camera or just off to the side almost breaking the 4th wall usually for a quicker tidbit about something surprising etc
Thanks for sharing this! Really inspiring. Hope you can share more of these too (especially when you shared what you learned from the DIT and about the RED)
I feel like there’s so much valuable detailed information that can be shared. I only have the perspective of the level that in at but im glad it’s helping others. I wish I had this info early on.

thanks for making these videos man. I really appreciate the straight forward videos
It’s a different style that I like watching so I’m glad others do to. You need to follow Cranky Cameraman. I copied it directly from him and I am learning so much from his archive of vlogs. Plus he shoots on arris and fx9’s so it’s fun to nerd out and look at his gear.
Great stuff man!!!
Thanks for watching. I’m glad it had value for you!
great video, i leearned some stuff
Aye I’m glad you could. There’s so much information to share.
Amazing, as always! :)
Thanks for watching bro
Great look behind the scenes. Thanks, David. Will you be doing a BTS or breakdown of DZ Machine? It looks great, and I'd to know what you learned while making it.
Yeah Ive thought about doing a directors commentary. Could be fun. I definitely learned a lot. Felt way more educational than college.
Great job! I think it's really important to be familiar with lots of different camera brands like you are doing. How did you find shooting with the RED vs the C70 and A7Siii? I recently bought a 10 year old RED Scarlet X just to play around with really. I haven't had much of a chance to shoot with it yet. Black shading is a new thing for me. It took quite a while to calibrate.
Im supposed to black shade with my c70 but I’ve never done it. And temp is always extremely changing when I go I to a building with AC at 70° then outside to 88° with 100% humidity.
Did you get a good deal on the scarlet? I know they are going cheap.
And I only had a few hours with the Komodo but it was fun.
@@davidmorefield yes a really good deal I think. It was £1510 which is about $1750. It came with a custom made Pelican case (I think it's the 1510) and accessories. Also a Red Rock Micro matte boxe which is in ok condition..the camera only has about 110 hours on it. But the lens mount release button has come off (a screw is missing and I couldn't find one that fits) so you have to release the mount by pressing it with a pen or allen key. It's £95 to repair that if I wanted to. It's still usable and really good condition, it looks nearly new. If they break though they're very expensive to fix and the RED Scarlet is meant to be unreliable unlike Arri apparently which are really reliable.
@@MichaelGreenwoodMG what a crazy deal! Nice find.
Hey I saw that you shot on the komodo, not sure if you knew about the turning on and off procedure on the red. But tbh you haven't blown up the sdi so i was just wondering if it made that much of a difference haha
I could be wrong but I think that only applies if the cam and monitor are running off the same external battery. In this case, the cam was powered by native bp batteries and the monitor was powered by its own npf. I think the problems occur when you have a vmount powering both. If that is incorrect, please advise.
@@davidmorefield tbh you could be right , I'm just following what red said but not sure if they said this while being powered by the same battery or their own . Again you have way more experience than me in the field so you're probably right :) it's just what i read and what I've done everytime i shoot on komodo :)
@@stuartswindellcampoy8483 better safe than sorry 🤗 especially when it’s not my camera.
cool video, very interesting, congrats and thanks for putting it out there. Just one question regarding that issue you had with the SD cards. What speed/class SD card were you using?
The fastest ones they make! Haha. I use 128 v90 300 mb/s angelbirds. It’s simply a limitation of being an sd card and an sd card reader. I think Red Mag readers are at 10 gb/s. I’m not too familiar with their numbers but I know that the red stuff is built for speed and my sd cards were ruining everything 😂
Sounds like they would have also had bottle neck issues with those CFExpress type A's as well. DIT's live for speed.
@@tripoutkaz which cams take those cards?
