Which mistake hit you the hardest????
30 FPS you mean Marques, yeah i wonder why 🙂
The camera settings have to admit it
i've never made a mistake ever. not once. so I couldn't tell you. 😂 jk. Not one of your tips here, but the first time I used TH-cam I didn't realize that the video would need to process after uploading so I would just publish it immediately at 360p LOL.
Thanks for the tips, Matti! As a total beginner, my question is: should you use auto ISO or keep it at base and adjust exposure only with ND filters/aperture outdoors? (Thinking of using manual ISO when shooting something stationary indoors, auto ISO when outdoors)
I guess my biggest mistake is the story building, but i'm working on it
I'd argue that an aperture with shallow depth of field isn't the most cinematic, because I find myself at f5.6 - f8 a lot of the time in my work. If a film has correct exposure on every shot, shot variety, good color to fit the mood of the scene, and most importantly, tells a story through SOUND, the film will feel cinematic.
Or, and, it just should not be "set in stone", it depends on how far is your background, if there is any object behind that tells a part of the story, so out of focus but not "too" out of focus, etc etc
I can’t believe he even said that
I used between F8 to F10 to blur my background and have me in focus. In my last outdoor shoot.
@@Eyeofkamau I guess he meant it for real beginners because they wouldn't stress too much on settings
@@RockyRobotTheMagicMaker It’s a silly statement regardless of who you’re giving the advice to. No professional would take that seriously and he shouldn’t advise such a statement to a fresh brain - he’s setting newbies up for failure with that. His advise is actually what is mentioned as a mistake by professional filmmakers… so, not sure what type of filmmaking he’s talking about. And he talks like he’s speaking straight facts lol, huge turn-away for me.
Whoever takes that advise will learn on their own I guess. Not their fault, it’s a process.
Hey Matti, don't forget to let us beginners know that 24 frames per second is best only in certain countries. It will get you all kinds of horrible light flickering in probably more countries than it won't, depending on the electricity supply where you are.
I learnt that the hard way, as I assumed what the TH-camrs I was watching said was universally true, rather than just true for certain countries. My footage looked SHOCKING, especially when shooting in higher frame rates like 120fps (I should have been using 100fps indoors) In countries like here in Australia, 25 fps is the way to go. Virtually the same as 24 as far as the motion blur you get etc, but it will sync with artificial lights. For people who learn this craft predominantly from TH-cam (as I did), this is an important detail to know!
In PAL countries this is sometimes a problem yes. For 120p especially. For 24p you can adjust your shutterspeed. I live in the Netherlands and never had a problem shooting 24p at 180° shutter angle. I did have those problems sometimes shooting 30p and especially 120p with tl lighting in big conference halls.
@@davids At 24fps and 180° shutter angle, I've found the flicker is less obvious, but still present. But as you've said, it seems tweaking the shutter speed can fix that. But the way I see it, there's no need to be fiddling around with that when switching to 25fps in PAL regions fixes it with no obvious difference visually.
@@BrisbaneChannel You're right! Visually there is no difference. So for online it doesn't matter and for TV 25p is the only way. But I've also shot a documentary that was screened in local cinemas. Then 24p is the way to go. It all depends on where and how your work is displayed.
2:01 No no no! I have to disagree with shooting everything wide open all of the time. That is a beginner mistake in itself. Sure Bokeh looks nice, but not in every scene. You've got to use it for a reason, not 'just because'. Sometimes I want a small depth of field, so I use a smaller aperture to 'set the scene'. Watch some movies by your favorite DPs, and notice how the aperture isn't wide open all the time.
Well if the subject is far or your are showing scenery, due to distance even 2.8 has everything in focus (assuming the lens is anywhere 16-35mm)
@@zelkuth Remember this video is aimed at beginners. "Shoot everything wide open" is something I see plainly misused and is terrible advice in a blanket statement. Don't get me wrong, I use it a lot, but StudioBinder covers it better here: th-cam.com/video/ZGNUqNFfD8M/w-d-xo.html
@@psynuxx ahhhh... you are right. It totally skipped my mind who this video is addressed to.But hey, if you wanna "look" cool its not a bad advise hahaha. (not all you tubers will shoot movies. Studio Binder rocks!)
Yep. I agree, in fact, I thought it was going to be an example too. With aperture wide open, if you're a youtuber and filming yourself, you might only have your chin or nose in focus, let alone if you use autofocus and it misses but you cant tell on the small screen. Those things can't be fixed in post. "I bought a lens that opens up to f1.7, and I'm gonna use it goddamnit!" seems to be too common.
You are right on that one!
Great video as always Matti! It's always important to remember the basics to have a solid foundation for improving with every shot!
I certainly made all of those mistake when I started making videos here on TH-cam. But the one that hit me harder is definitely the heavy Color grading
You gotta just press record and evolve, step up your game with every video. Thank you for the tips Matti!
I like your tutorials Matti, it really helps me keeping up my game 😎🙌🏻
Awesome stuff, Thanks Matti !!!
Great set of guidelines. All of them. I just published my 7th video and I plan to work on the shallow depth of field. I recently changed to a better camera that tracks focus much better so I don't have to use a broad depth of field any more. I'm aware of the other factors and focus hard on them. The story also hits hard. I focus a lot on that but it's always, always great to be reminded yet again.
Awesome video Matti! Super helpful info 🙌😄
Thanks Matti. Another very helpful and inspiring video. Cheers
Dude, that slow push in at like 00:20 was so clean!

Awesome seeing you at the store big fan
I learned at the beginning of the year my vlogs were pointless. Even though there was some great footage in there over the last 3 years, nobody is coming to watch my videos in Alaska. I started giving more meaning in the title and in the content without changing much else and recently I have been quadrupling views
PROPER list video. Thanks!💯
thanks for sharing these kind of stuff
for me it's definitely lighting. I don't have a softbox and I can't afford it as of yet.. but I'll definitely be getting one! After I upgrade my pc so I can run Premiere Pro & other programs..
Very nice and comfortable video, thank you!
TY! I tried so hard to tell my students, when I taught, that if they can't tell the story or just keep my attention within 5 seconds then they'll never be able to in 30 seconds. They would think they needed more time to get their point across. I tried doing 5x5 videos all the time to train them to do it in a short amount of time.
Thank you matti
Great advices Matti! Thanks a lot

Thank you! 😊
Story telling is the hardest thing I struggle with, it is great to see Casey back ( no offence Matti ) it just comes so easy to him, be it visual from multiple camera angles or dialogue with characters
Good video! Thank you for sharing it. ✌️
Muy buen contenido! Gracias!!!
@2:00 … What an absurd statement. I’m sure the director and cinematographer of that feature film you funded this year would disagree.
Gr8 tips Matti. I am still shooting on a 6D mark ii and wish I had a log format for color grading. I tried to bring down the contrast and saturation (on my camera) to get the best out of my colors in post, however I still think I need to do a better job at it..

Thank you. My bigest take away is planning your video. Giving a reason to watching my video. I appreciate your insite!
I am an animator and graphic designer who later became a filmmaker, i was able to make all my videos look good with beautiful graphics from day 1 and that really help me, i know there are assets in motion array but i still believe that if you could learn animation and graphic design you can make your videos way better :)
I never miss a matt video, hey bro I got some good news. I just had my 1st concrete video get to 85k views, I'm learning all this stuff about color grading but I use like 4 or 5 different cameras, the go pro color looks pretty good, but Def color grade my drone stuff and my phone footage, but my phone only shoots in 30fps, so as for now I'm stuck at 30fps, untill I get my fx3 or a7s3, not sure what would happen if I shot half my stuff in 24fps and the rest in 30 fps. Obviously my timeliness is 30fps for now. THANKS AGAIN MATT, btw I tried that flip hat transition, it didn't work good enough lol
What's wrong with me, I never thought this day would ever come but… I disagree with Matti.
1. Shoot with log UNLESS YOU ARE SHOOTING 8 BIT (which a beginner might actually be doing)
2. You don't need to shoot everything wide open, you should actually learn how to work with different apertures. There are other ways to separate your subject from the background such as using color contrast and distance.
Other than than, great video as usual!
Lolll the jab at Marques was palpable
Good tips , thx Matti

Damn I was hoping for affirmation about buying an EasyRig!! (thumbnail)
Great video mate! I think interior lighting is what I'm afraid. All my walk arounds have been in nature or outdoors so far! ugh! I will have the get lighting sorted for winter!
oh god I am early on this one ahaha, Also seems like you are back into the Final Cut Pro territory ;)
Dude, Kay is gigantic! Time Flyes!
Every time I see new cameras in ads I'm like, "You have to have these.". But then I realize what others are getting with my Sony Alpha 6300 and I don't even begin to get everything out of my recordings. Now, after two years, I switched my camera from 60Mbit to 100Mbit to get everything out. It's just filming filming filming which takes practice and of course learning from mistakes.
Is it allowed to film at 25fps if you are in Europe? (50hz lightbulbs and electronics).
Hey Matti, you're talking about filming in 24 frames per second is the way to go. However, which frame rate should you use when you occasionally want to edit your shots with a slow motion effect? As in, is there a way to just keep filming in the same frame rate and decide later on whether you want to edit your shots in slow motion? I feel like sometimes it's nice to be able to decide afterwards that a shot would look good in slow motion, which I assume is not possible if you film it in 24fps in the first place. I would love for you, or someone else in the comment section who has a bit more knowledge about this subject than me, to respond!

Would you use auto iso from the first native iso to the second native iso to always keep the exposure at say 1.7 stops for slog3, or would you manually have your iso at the native values (my camera is 800 or 3200)? Also have you noticed any issues with shutter speed by adjusting it instead of using an nd? I've been lazy and not wanting to use an nd so I increase shutter speed and haven't really noticed much difference.
For TH-cam videos i don't think that the audience will see the difference, but when shooting a video for clients it's always important to respect the 180 degrees rule for shutter speed, it just looks more natural.
Wow, look at Kai! All grown up. Seeeing him after so long.
Hey Matti, we need your daily vlogs please. Or you might want to let Kai vlog now.:)
The best..!!
Haha, I've done voice overs with a Rode VideoMic Pro that way before 😅 I'm thankful for having a Shure MV7 now, but it worked when I couldn't afford extra audio gear!
Тhanks Matti

V helpful ! :)
#8 Sound design. All of those motion graphics could have used some sound fx. But great tips none the less.
Sony microphone recording decent speech audio at 10ft is incredible! ECM-B1M FTW!!!
Ahh that's the microphone that he is using ! Thanks
It didn’t sound decent haha. It demonstrated how terrible microphones sound at 10 ft away. Don’t do that please haha
@@stevenkralovec Try get a Rode on camera shotgun mic and do the same distance. You can't even understand the words spoken.
@@gigihanmandarin I have one, but you should never use an on camera mic like that (at that extreme distance), you know. That’s bad mic placement, captures way too much of the room and ambient noise and reflections and it just sounds bad, trust me you’ll want to get the mic as close as you can if you want useable audio, regardless of the mic. But to each their own, I guess.
@@stevenkralovec yes, it is common sense that the mic should be as close as the subject. I commented to the fact that Sony mic performed decently even though the placement was trash.
WAIT I thought that 30 FPS at a shutter speed of 60 is indistinguishable from 24 FPS at a shutter speed of 48. And for TH-cam tubing, isn’t it easier to work in increments of 30 FPS because it would be compatible with all display devices, so no need for judder compensation?
How did he make the Zoom out from 00:14 to 00:18 when Matti is sitting down at the desk? Was that all done in post?
In post, set your clip at 105% scale at the beginning, then scale out to 100% at the end.
Hi Matti, great advices, question is it good to shoot in log even though I have an 8bit camera? I have heard it’s not, please let me know and thank you (I have the sony a 7lll)
Log might not be the best for 8bit as there will be banding. Don't get sucked in to the idea of having to shoot log as a must.
What are the lenses he recommends exactly? thanks for great video
where can i buy those used lenses? I need to learn more from you.
for me personally, there are reasons to not shoot in log. i don't know, maybe i'm just a little unable but i'm often not really satisfied with my results and when i have to shoot something important, i really don't want to f*** it up with wrong exposure settings or something like that... i think i really have to go to a physical log-coach :-D (i've watched tons of tutorials 😀)
What is your ratio of used material to cut out material?

Hey matti what’s your thought on a sigma 18-35 lens for canon for doing film ?
Amazing Content Bro!!..
Support From India 🇮🇳 ❤️ ♥️
Speaking of getting your audio better. How do you keep your mic from picking up autofocus motors? I’ve tried using different mics but always hear it. I know they make STM lenses to help but I always see these TH-camrs using regular lenses and I never hear it. Something in post I’m missing? Any help would be great.
apply noise reduction, maybe..
Thanks for the video. What is the mic that you use for the camera? Can we get a link?

I feel like I need so much help with colour grading and I just don't know where to start!
🙏🏻🤟
Love your Basecap 🏎️💨 #VB77
First of all, nice hat!
Would you suggest to shoot in log even with 8bit files? I have a Sony a6500, I've tried sLog3, converted with the colour space transform in Davinci Resolve and it was very very noisy..
Same question here!
Based on experience, it usually happens when you don't overexpose enough. I make sure that the light meter reads +2.0 minimum nowadays in Log to avoid the noise in the blacks. Also, the older gen Sony cams seem to do better with SLog2.
@@itsjoseperez thanks for your answer. When exposing, would you meter for the shadows in the frame or for what the subject? Let me explain, if you are in a dark Room, with a subject light by a video light but there is a window where sun come directly in, is very possible that that area will be already over exposed by 2+stops, but the rest of the frame doesn't look overexposed; would you meter for the darker part of the room, for the subject or for the bright part of the room (real highlights of the frame).
I hope it makes sense
If it's a high contrast situation, splitting the difference between the darkest and brightest parts would be the safe bet. I always prioritize the shadows though to avoid the noise. Spot metering closer to the darker side. But since it's log, highlights can be easily recovered when blown out. Just use a mask to tweak it further if need be.
Love the hat. Valtteri Bottas!!
1:04 Finally somebody speaks out against that bully 😂😉
Man!!! kids grow fast! Just a few videos ago, Kai was just baby talking! now he’s a little Man with great hair like his dad!
3:28 Which lens you used here?

What do you recommend for wildlife filmmaking
A good telephoto lens, and a good tripod.
It's whatever sells, I use a $170 Akaso and selling more product than my gear freak pals. Of course I charge a lot less and my quality is about 60% of what they can do, but I am doing it.
I definitely have issues with colour grading it doesn’t help when I’m partially colour blind does anyone know if there’s accessibility settings on any of the Adobe software?
